Time for all Goanetters and other Goans to place on record your extreme generosity towards any and every cause that came to your attention.
The fact that your savings and investment portfolio must have been taking a hit right from 2008 did not cause a dent or deterrence in your charitable spirit. Dollar for proportionate dollar your giving has been on the lines of the natural charity of the people of the magnificent country to which you belong which I have absolutely no doubt will rise again to its pre-eminence once the right people come into power. The maple syrup is yours to claim my friend. It comes with Goan and Canadian blessings on your assets. Roland. Toronto. Sent wirelessly from my BlackBerry device on the Bell network.

I join Roland in greeting Vic and wishing for many more happy and productve years with us. As for the pension of our dreams, I wish I could be more optimistic. Our country had cheered on an unemployed actor to the White House in a year, 1980, when I had paid taxes at a fifty percent rate. Hollwood math then found me at half that rate on a much larger income, for decades. To match Pooteen's fifty billion, they spend five hundred a year, mostly in lucrative armament contracts to friends on the Los Angeles golf strips. The party will end soon, sadly, as the friendly gnomes in Tokyo and Shanghai who put up two billion a day start to sink into a morass of their own. It does not help that 'our Arab' carbon is shipped increasingly to Kandla, not Kentucky. I am due checks from two bankrupt entities, one the big Bush borrower, the other a locality pauper who may neither borrow nor place portraits and numbers on baked paper pulp - the stuff known as federal currency. Rolly - save some maple syrup for me ! eric. ________________________________ From: Roland Francis <roland Happy birthday Victor. May your quality of life continue to well beyond hundred, especially if you are a pensioner. Get those pension funds to pay out the maximum, I always say.
