    ...and then their results showed their revenues soared by 47% to $40bn with profits jumping by 56% to around $16bn.

    I'd like to see what a good year looks like.

    I am NOT a fan of Mark Zuckerberg - as noted in another Category / Post on this forum!

    He also has his sights on the U.S. Presidential Election of November 2020! May the "powers" of the Universe forbid that from happening!

    Created Argentina Expats Facebook page and added a like button to the main forum page.

    We can't ignore social networks.

    NOTE: I wanted to include POST #20 here here but system wouldn't allow me to do that.


    Well Splinter, if you have had success with Facebook, e.g., helping to spread the word about this forum, then that is good for you!

    But I tried it for awhile for 4T Forum, however it did absolutely nothing with regard to actually succeeding in promoting 4T Forum! All I got out of it

    were FB Members wanting me to add them to my "friends list"; and basically people who were completely disinterested in 4T Forum but rather

    were interested in themselves and how many "likes" and "friends" they could acquire, and other silly stuff.


    As though that wasn't enough to discouraged me from using FB, Mark Zuckerberg and I do NOT get along!

    When I had a personal FB account (not the 4T Forum Account), he deleted everything within 18 - 24 hours if I said ANYTHING about Palestine.

    At 4T Forum, my Staff and I - (basically my friend Jason - Forum Moderator) - will NOT delete a Member's Posts just because we may not like

    those posts!


    When I - (and my business partner / friend, Kirk) came up with the idea for 4T Forum ( ttttforum . com ) back in 2013 - we set out from the get-go

    to offer a forum which would be tolerable of any one's opinion or belief; waive the usual required "Accept" - "Decline Notices"; and stay out of our

    Members "bedroom" - so to speak.


    The ONLY exception that 4T Staff will stick to is: We will NOT tolerate any ADULTS entering forum categories and posts which have been set aside

    specifically for individuals between the ages of14 - 17; nor will allow those individuals between 14 - 17 to enter ADULT categories and forums.

    And NO one under 14 is ever allowed to be a member of 4T forum - for legal reasons.

    Through my life, I have found it difficult to speak fluently and correctly with regards to proper grammar - however I think I am improving;

    and part of the reason for the "improvement" has been running a forum as well as well as visiting other forums and forcing myself to use

    proper English structure of sentences.


    In the United States, there are so many people who use "slang", abbreviations, and also the so called "in" words or phrases that, if one remains

    in their presence for a prolonged period of time, one is bond to start speaking as they do!


    I still "carry over" some tell-tale signs of this at times when I am writing - in a forum or some other venue; so I have to constantly be conscious

    of this fact lest I write (make) some really silly or stupid remarks!;)

    Thanks to all of you who welcomed me to this forum!


    Dear CruiseJunki

    Welcome to the forum, I am the only argentinean member in this forum. Do not hesitate to make complaints about the country, I know we have many things to arrange in a best way.

    Every complaint will be responded with respect and gallantry. And every praise will be welcome.

    Thank you for your mention (regarding complaints and praises).


    I am not in the habit of making complaints about a country I know almost nothing about; but hopefully I will soonfind some reason or reasons to

    say something which is at the very least, a "positive" comment about Argentina.


    Good to have you aboard (rimshot).


    Do you do lots of cruises? We had a spectacular one last Sept-Oct with Viking.

    Do I do a lot of cruises? Not nearly as many I would LIKE to do!


    If money were not a concern, I would be on a cruise at least 6 times a year at the very least.

    I have been to Mexico - as far south as Acapulco - twice; once to Alaska (what a beautiful place - especially Sitka;

    and once to Central Caribbean.


    The next cruise I want to make is the Baltic Sea Cruise; especially if it includes Saint Petersburg, Russia.

    Some cruise lines stay there for three days; which would give enough time to take the High Speed Train to Moscow and back.


    Vladimir Putin spent over 2 Billion USD in completely refurbishing Saint Petersburg - (I wish the U.S. Government would do as much.)

    Colonial William J Wilson of the U.S. Army (since deceased) told me it is the most beautiful city in all of Russia.


    Your cruise of last September - October - Viking. Is that posted on this forum?

    Hello Splinter - and everyone on board!


    Nice website - really sharp looking - does take a bit of time to get acquainted with all the forum choices and layout;

    and time is something I always seem to run short on because my schedule (forum activities I am involved with) takes up quite a bit of it.


    Interested in reading some of the Threads and Posts here on this forum - however I will have to come back later to partake in them.
