As for the 'respected' author - appears to be fake as can't even show an example, too scared eh.
Do your own research.....Red Hugh and Truth Seeker are just two of the books that I have by the respected author....she is definitely not fake.
I'm impressed. That is a marvellous achievement by she elephant.
I have to admit I would never have been able to do the research to discover it though as i didn't know she elephant's real name.
I love books like that, that immerse children in reading and cover a bit of history at the same time.
----------------------
The only thing I would add to all the discussion is that yes, there are some bludgers out there. There are also some dishonest people who will rort the system. And others who will work hard and make their fortune.
But in my own life experience, I have found that most people don't fall into either of those extremes.
I know plenty of people who work hard and work consistently. They certainly don't bludge. But they will never be millionaires either, because their wages are in the normal range. Even if they take on a part time job as well, it just puts a bit of cream on the cake so to speak. Doesn't catapault them into untold wealth.
It doesn't make them stupid either. I think particularly of my father. A very intelligent man. Worked in Western mining and shares. Average wage. But was in charge of his section. When he retired they had to employ 2 people to take on his role. I can't recall him ever having a sickie.
He also worked 42 years part time at the greyhound racing track. Only 4 or 5 hours a week on Thursday nights. Did that till his mid 70s.
By the time he died, my parents owned their modest home and had a bit put away but wealthy people? No. They were always cautious with money, saved, didn't borrow. Maybe a different personality would have gone out a bit with riskier investments but caution was dad's middle name, after having lived through the Depression.
My guess is most people on this forum are like that. They have worked as best they could, when they could but nope, not many of us have made it to millionaire status and it actually isn't a necessity for a worthy or happy life.

You could have been talking about my father.
He was brought up in straightened cirumstances (he once told me he and his siblings practically lived on bread and dripping sandwiches for quite a while). He had to leave school at 14 and find work to support the family. WWII then gave him work in a job which thankfully he survived, and after the war he was offered the opportunity to go back to school then university to get qualifications - paid for by his employer.
Later on my father too rose to be boss of a large (government) section - the only person in his chosen occupation to hold that position. But, being in the public service he was never going to be rich. My parents also bought a modest home and eventually owned it outright. They too were cautious with money and didn't borrow except for the mortgage......a system I've also stuck with all my life. When my father retired he also took a part time job, initially as a volunteer then later he was paid a small wage. It was having something to do in something he loved more than the money that mattered.
My parents weren't rich, I'm not rich, but like them my needs and wants are simple and I've got enough to buy the occasional 'I want it but don't actually need it' frivolous purchase. I have a happy life (bar some annoying health issues). I owe my parents a lot for their example of how to live well with no debts like credit cards and some savings in the bank (but of course nowhere near millions). You don't need lots of money to be happy thank goodness. ๐

**bleep**! I just made a post that timed out outlining much of the knowledge and experience possessed by the members of this Community. It contained information for you about the many amazing people here, their diversity in knowledge and experience and their extraordinary intrapersonal and interpersonal values and beliefs that collectively make inclusion in this community both an honour and a privilege.
It also included remorse on your behalf in case that the misinformed and inaccurate judgemental conga line going through your head as you perch on your ivory tower has made you blind to the phenomenal opportunities contained herein and now prevented your inclusion in this community.
I did wonder if your offensive behaviour indicated that you genuinely had some kind of mental illness or natural mental infirmity directing your actions and ruminated upon your need for acknowledgement and support - all of what you would have received here.
TLDR
I've concluded that you're nothing more than an insecure attention seeking Muppet.
If we're as undesirable and unworthy as you assert, I have to wonder what's wrong with you in that you choose to mix with those you consider beneath you?
What is wrong with you?
Crikey's back...

Crikey has made no complaint - so far - about her back.

Oh crikey Crikey. Mental illness? That's a bit rough. IMO Ms or Mr Mussolin knows pretty well what they're doing which is to get a rise out of ppl ..... and is succeeding very well lol.
