    Get the colonscopy and my vent.

    Actually, the whole thing wasn't that bad. My wife was there to take me home, and I played it for all it was worth. Then I went golfing the next day.

    World map of disposable income

    My son and I make the same amount of money annually. I do pretty well. He lives in Manhattan, just above the poverty level.

    World map of disposable income

    I only have an anecdotal experience to share here, my relatives in Norway seem to make a lot of money and have a lot to spend, but when a large Pizza and four soft drinks in Norway result in a $95 bill, that goes fast. One thing though, when they come to the US, they go nuts.

    Someone explain the beatles era music to me

    I grant you that the Beatles went beyond a standard 1,4,5 progression, one that comes to mind is 1,6,2,5 progression but all the same, they didn't stray far. Not much dissonance in the Beatles. As far as the rest, yes, they did bring a lot into their music, and I'm not arguing that. But nothing...

    Someone explain the beatles era music to me

    Stolen in what way? Melody, lyrics, chords? There is a pattern to rock music, and there are just a few chord combinations that are used in rock. Sometimes there are variations in voice, but the same progressions all the same. Stray Cat Strut and Hit the Road Jack, are exactly the same chord...

    Fake Support Dogs

    I'm not a pet person. I like animals though, I just don't like being tied down by one. I don't really like having dogs around me that much, it is fine if other people do, and it does not bother me. I also like cats, but I am allergic to cats, to the point that I feel like I can't breath. I mean...

    Meanwhile, in Mexico...

    We used to go to Mexico every year for two or three weeks. We would fly into Puerto Vallarta, rent a car, and drive up to Sayulita and stay. We would drive all over the place. A friend of mine used to come down with us and he ended up buying property down there and building a house up on a...

    No more smoking at RJ Reynolds...

    Where I worked, before I quit working, we had three or four smokers. I don't really care if people smoke or not, but the smokers would take turns going outside and smoking every hour. So they were gone ten minutes each. Over an eight hour day, they take six ten minute smoke breaks. That is an...

    Job interviews that are not really actual job interviews?

    I suppose that if they are wearing one of those " really don't care what time it is" watches, they just get a fee drink and a sorry Charlie.:wink2:

    Job interviews that are not really actual job interviews?

    The last couple of jobs that I actually applied for and got, ended up being very interesting. I retired in 2006, but after a couple of years of messing around and working at the airport part time, I came across a job that looked interesting, so I applied for it. The interview started out kind...

    [N/A]Anyone Friends with Their Medical Professionals?

    My doctor lives in our neighborhood, and our kids grew up going to the same school. I see him around. He isn't actually a friend in the sense that we do anything together. My dentist now is actually my wife's cousin and we go on an annual fishing trip every year together with him and my...

    Yes, I think he said that already.

    Challenging a court's jurisdiction? (Lawyers??)

    I don't know about Colorado, or South Carolina either, but in Iowa you don't get a jury trial for minor traffic offenses. It just isn't an option.

    The real entry-level jobs are disappearing

    Compare that to how much you were making back then as well.

    The real entry-level jobs are disappearing

    For some people. I was self employed twice in my life. The first was a small engine repair business that I started, the second time was as an airplane mechanic. I did not feel that personal satisfaction that I know you do.

    Water wells

    Do you need a permit to have a well on your property, or do you need a permit to drill a well? I know nothing about it, I'm just curious.

    Challenging a court's jurisdiction? (Lawyers??)

    What ever happened with the beer delivery business? I always wondered but never think to ask.

    The real entry-level jobs are disappearing

    We used to hire a lot of young people fresh out of college who would say in the interview that they had wanted to be a police officer all their life, invest six months of training in them, and six months after that, they get bitter and start having issues because they come to the realization...
