Physically, walking beans and bailing hay in 100+ degree weather. Emotionally, being a probation officer and having one of the people I was supervising commit suicide because he could not kick his meth addiction.

I'm going out early tomorrow with a couple of other guys to take a 37 foot sailboat from San Juan Marina to Fajardo for the owner. I'm pretty much along for the ride, and to help out a little if need be. Hoping for a nice day. We are going to catch a taxi back.

I used to work with a guy who just hated any type of small talk. If you asked him what he was up to, he would respond, "what does it look like I'm up to", and not in a very nice tone. He used to tell me that if "people" didn't have something worthwhile to say, they should just keep their trap...

I've met some people here in Puerto Rico much the same. One in particular is doing the sail boat charters and his wife is an artist. They have chosen to live that lifestyle, and are none the worse for it as far as I can see. Happy and carefree.

A God that can be understood is no God. W. Somerset Maugham. The Razor's Edge I'm one of those who does not take the bible's story of creation literally. I think that it was told in a fashion that the people of the time were able to understand. I am a believer however, and I think...

Well, in defense of the masses, I have forgotten most of what I learned in fifth grade and I seldom stop to take notice of the angle of the sun unless it is a a beautiful sunset over the ocean.

I don't know if I should even admit it, but I guess that I am going to, a long time ago I went to college on the GI bill and ended up with a BA in English with a minor in History. At the time I walked across the stage and got my diploma, I knew an awful lot about grammar and punctuation. At one...

I guess that I thought that it would be a higher percentage, but does knowing it or not knowing it make any difference in a person's daily life? I mean, while I know it, I don't think that knowledge has ever helped me.

I've tried to use the invoice price to deal and it has never worked well for me. It seemed to me that they didn't care what I thought the invoice was. I had one salesman tell me that he didn't know where I got it, but that wasn't what it was. OK, that is just my experience with invoice. I've...

Tesla hit $200 bucks last week and I sold my stock. I didn't bail, I enjoyed owning it, but I had to free up some funds for other investments and I realized a very good profit from it. If you go by the rule buy low and sell high, Tesla had to go. I'm very interested in what it does now and I'll...

My Saturday was the same as it always is. I guess I'm in a routine. Got up late, went to the coffee shop for breakfast, went to the farmer's market, stopped by the post office to pick up the mail, ate lunch, then went to my painting class. My son is here visiting for a few days so after class we...

Well, I'm a month behind on this thread, but for what it is worth, just find another job and move on. I say that because it is going to be pretty hard to find a place to work in GA that isn't pushing the limits. I don't know all that is going on where you are currently working, but it has been...

We are at our place in Puerto Rico. It looks like we got out of Iowa just in time.

Well, I hope it keeps going up, but what really counts is where it is when I finally decide to sell it. Right now it is serving the purpose of giving me something to watch. Of all my investments, Tesla is the most exciting.

Evidently Germany completed their probe into the fires and gave Tesla a clean bill of health yesterday. Yes, I own stock in Tesla too, and I'm in it for the long haul. :D

Is it important that it is pronounced one way over the other?

That is about it. Screwed up is screwed up. :yes:

My cousin's kid got an OTH. After a couple of years his Dad wrote a letter to their Senator and got some paperwork to appeal the discharge. It got changed it to an honorable. It seemed to me that it was just a matter of formality and paperwork. So now he can get all of his Veteran's benefits and...

I was just going to say that. I've run into a few on the streets myself. Heck, there might even be a some here on the forum.:D
