Thats fair enough for some Gray.Others have broken hearts and it's to late for them.

"Sometimes" is true gray, and those "sometimes" are great when "reality"
proves them to be dreams come true.
We can only hope that "reality" and "dreams of today" match.
If so...fantastic!
If not....I hope that the dreamers willingly accept reality................with "no harm done"!
Don't take me wrong. Your statement is greatly respected by me.
Only because I believe that my "personal" dreams become reality
when I apply the necessary action to see them through.
Keep in mind that my "personal" dreams are determined by my
actions. Simply because my actions are necessary to fulfill my dreams.
If others dreams are fulfilled by my actions, then I would accept
the fact that I am accountable for my actions on their part as well.
So the saying goes....Actions speak louder than words.
If I make promises.....are the actions there to back up the promises?
If not.....Dreams unfulfilled......Reality sinks in.................
Shall we review Bryan's dreams aligned with Bryan's actions?
Did Bryan's dreams affect others?
Any harm done?
it did shattered many and beyond and on an irreparable magnitude but fortunately, we did have our own dreams that we fulfill ourselves from our own efforts and doings which are not solely dependent on his vision embodied by false hopes. :leader:

Hi friends,
In more ways that one my family and I are preparing ourselves for moving. Clearing out the small apartment shared by us six. Forgotten pieces of yesterdays found hidden in undisturb corners. I also take this time to clean my my soul. Anyone looking for a big bag of hopes with shards of shattered dreams? How much for a working but "broken" heart. I would gladly trade into you a worried mind for some peace of mind. Its a long long road ahead, I just hope that we can somehow manage to stay afloat.
(I've been quiet lately, not because I am brooding. If you haven't heard the Asian Submarine cable connecting this side of the world was down by earthquake.)
I am trying real hard to eke out a living, having closed my business prematurely on the count of PIPS (I am not blaming) and the numbers on the screen. Now I am in another state with zero credibility and new market. I do what I can from writing to tutoring to make some $$$. As for life insurance, I already cashed in the policy already to further invest in PIPS (I am not blaming) so no help there.
Sometimes I lay awake and think about what I've achived in life, nothing much. I take comfort to know that my family loves me and appreciates me. But the idealisitic, bright-eyed person that once was me is now a cynical, bitter (slightly or maybe a bad after taste :tongue:), untrusting and selfish (looking out for me and family only). I don't know if that's bad or good but my mom will balance me out whatever my decision. Lost my dad along while back and we all miss him alot.
So any takers for the big bag of hopes and shattered dreams, cut you a good deal? But I am sure you have some of your own. Just get rid of them like what I am trying to do. Count my blessings, get ready and move on into 2007. I want to leave my worries, doubts and fears for 2006.
Have a truly Happy and Prosperous New Year!
theBat$
Btw due to the recent floods in South of Malaysia, I am predicting the date of the trial MAY be changed. They down south are bracing for another wave of floods.
I feel your pain Bat$,
Yes, we have all had it tough due to PIPS, and everyone has their special story, and I was saddened to hear yours as I have so many others. It is not easy to deal with the loss of money, but even more difficult is when we lose our hopes and dreams. Many who were involved are not only broke, but broken in spirit, and this is why I am angry, for money can always be replaced, but hopes and dreams are near impossible to restore.
I sincerely hope you can bounce back and regain your hopes and dreams, and in time you will heal, as we all will, so hang in there my friend, all is not hopeless, and things alwasy improve, take it from me, I have been down a few times in my life as well, and always managed to bounce back. Let us all hope the new year brings new hope and prosperity for all. Good luck with your move and new work, I am sure everyone here will be pulling for you.
Happy, Healthy, Wealthy New Year to all, Mike

I was truly saddened to learn of your plight. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. It is my sincere prayer that 2007 will turn out to be a great one for you and your family. I am thankful your family is there to support and love you. Please keep us posted on all the great things that will come your way in the coming year. Please feel free to PM me even if it is nothing more than just to vent. Sometimes you just have to have someone you can unload your feelings on knowing they understand, won't take it personally. Wishing you all the very best for 2007 and beyond.
I wish you brighter days in 2007, the bat$. Indeed, I wish it for all of us.
Time is selfish, and slips by unconcerned, whilst we spend too much time thinking of what we could and should have done in days gone by.
We brood for yesterday and dream for tomorrow.
Go out and talk to as many people as possible, for one person can
change your whole outlook, steer you in a new direction and even
create new possibilities. There is always someone willing to share, to
help and to provide the force that can change your whole life. A
stranger yet to be greeted, a friend yet to be realised, a whole world
of knowledge yet to be explored in that first hello.
All the best to you and all our members, may sunny days shine on us
and our loved ones in 2007.
Kind regards
paddy
Hi all,
Life is not unfair, just like in a game of poker. Nobody holds all the aces. So I have been dealt some crappy cards. But the game is not over yet. I musn't envy or be disheartened by those I percieve to have the winning hand. It may be just a bluff. In 2007, I want to up the ante and raise whoever calls my bet. Their house of cards might just come tumbling down. Who knows I might just hit it big with a full house or a straight flush.
Keep yer poker face on! Let's go out and win in style for the 2007.

A while back, I fiddled with the simulator to see how much I had and I have a lot! It's "grown" no way in heck any "mystery gold" is going to cover mine, yours and all others account combined. What a great dream, then we wake up to the harsh reality of being poorer than before. :sads:
Dealing you in the great poker game of life, I call and the pot is $35,000 pips money. :toofunny:
We got a Casino Royale going on!!!! :biggrin:
theBat$
Well let's see....My simulator ran out at 24 months which would have put
it at the end of August for my last recorded ROI.
At that point in time it was at $8,957,013.73.
Oh what the heck....I'm all in!
Well I'm pulling about a mill a mouth and besides every one recons that I'm not playing with a full deck . So I must have at least a few aces and a couple of red faced kings plus the ace up my sleave , So it should be a shouein. So I'll call the pot and look . What do you say .
Gray
All in. All in. :toofunny:
Pot now at : Umpteen Hundred Million Picpay Dollars...... :banana:
Did I mention its worthless. :tongue:
What do you say?
1 Dinar = 1000 picpay dollars?
theBat$ - That's just from my account.
Well to be on the bright side if 1000 Pipay dollars = 1 Dinar , I just won 100.000 Dinar I thought you said it was worthless . Never mind it was a nice dream , a good game and fun .
Cheers Gray .
On 80/20 I only had a miserable $27000 a week in available funds.:toofunny:
That is at August 2005 of course. That does not include the account opened on Aug 8th 2005 with $5000, which has been on 100% reinvest ever since :biggrin:
Monopoly money,shame its not real :noserious
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY !
Hey Gray,your 100,000 dinars are worth more than your pips account :woohoo:
Hey Batty, did you get any offers for your picpay yet :noserious might try selling mine :biggrin: oops, we have no access to our imaginary funds do we ?:toofunny:
2007 HAS to be better than 2006 guys. :cheers:
Hey Batty you should have more faith in your self . Anyone who can get 5 guys from around the world to play an imaginary game of Poker . Definitely has some thing going for them . You think on your feet and your are a doer , Not some one who just sits on his hands . So mate you can make this move work for you and your family, Becurse your a doer not a sitter . And many thanks to Flockstar whose post started it also Dreamer and Whadyano for joining in it was fun .
Cheers Gray
hey guys todays rate for picpay is 990 = 1 dinar that a 1% increase already this year its going to be big in 2007:smiley:
That would be right my dreams increasing while my pockets are decreasing ,
Ah well that's life . Hey Dreamer what was that about they whir going to cut a deal ,Is that true or was it just a thought ?.
Cheers Gray .
THanks for that mate I did not wont to take your message out of context . As for plea bargaining it depends on their law and how it is set down . Remember there laws are different to yours or my laws , each country has their one individual laws .All though they may seam similar but in most cases they are not the same . You have maid a very good point and it may very well happen that way but I don't know .
Cheers Gray
It will be interesting to see which way the winds going to blow Gray :waiting:
Honestly dont think this 4th mention will tell us much :sads: but it's not long to wait.
Batty will be searching the papers for us :cheers:
That's about the size of it mate , perhaps Batty could shine a little more light on the legale side of things to ?.
Cheers Gray
P.S. Have to go got the Banky comeing for info on investments
Never here when you want him.Probably hanging around somewhere :noserious
Help Help I can't log out they just won't let me go.
Morning all... trust you all had a good Xmas and New Year?
Hi Nej,Yes thanks mate, but not sorry to see the back of 2006.I know we shouldn't wish our lives away but it was a lousy year for a lot of folks!
Welcome back buddy :cheers:
2007 will be better! I hope :waiting: :cheers: :woohoo:
I can't say much about the case and how the proceedings will go as this is the first time such a huge amount was laundered. However normally the people who are charged with money laundering or criminal breach of trust, if proven do get jail but as Dreamer pointed out a plea bargain is possible.
I'll keep the forum posted as best I can.
theBat$ - started pissing stones again, on the way to the medic. :sads:
Hello theBat$,
I thought I'd pass this little tip to you on the "stones" deal that I found to be effective: Get some Flaxseed, oil and seed, and include it in your regular diet. It will help in the passing of the stones as well as prevention of them forming--it's natural and very effective in this regard. You can find good quality flaxseed at your local health food store, if you have such stores available; otherwise, there are plenty of places on the internet to order them. Good luck dude.
Best regards,
thelema
Hi Batty sorry to hear your passing stones ,I've had them my self and their bloody painful . It puts a new meaning to teeth marks on the toilet door and a painful way to lay a gravel road. hope all works out OK and the medic can help .
Cheers Gray
I am taking time off as usual to follow any latest breaks in the case. I hope its not just another change of venue or postpontment in view of the floods and everything. Let's get it on already.
