There are many examples of people who were and are successful without having a college education. My Father was one of them. He did not have a high school education. He was a farmer and at the same time he ran a construction outfit. He was very successful at both. He made a lot of money in his...

I agree. I value education and I feel like I got a lot out of mine. I really think that it is up to the individual. Some people go to college with the attitude that it is a waste of time and they end up coming out with nothing of value to show for it. Also some people spend four years in college...

I didn't do a lot of hiring, but I did set on the interview boards for a few years. I agree with you in theory, but I always thought that people really exaggerated their experience.

I love hot dogs and I put whatever is available on them. One of the things I miss about retiring from the aquatic center is the hotdogs.

I've never done any day trading, but I've wondered if all the profits are taxed as short term capital gains?

I'm just thinking that unless wind turbines are attracting bald eagles and somehow provoking them to commit suicide, to me this is a good indication that there are getting to be a lot of them around. I know that we have a lot of wind turbines in Iowa, and over the last couple of decades we have...

I've lived off the stock market for the last seven years, except for 2008 and a part of 2009, when I lived off my cash reserves. I don't consider it a gamble, a game, nor do I think of myself as a fool for doing so. That said, I have to agree that I often times read the daily financial reports...

The transceiver is sold. :) Thanks.

I lost it four yeas ago and thought that I might get it back some day, but I don't see that happening. I kept all that old stuff just in case. If I really wanted to fly, I could always go to the airport and get an instructor to fly with me. Evidently it isn't important enough to do that, as I...

I am going to put this stuff here for a week before I put it on e-bay. I lost my medical a few years back and I doubt that I will need these in the future. Time to move on. So if you are interested let me know. I set these prices by looking at similar items on the internet. If you think...

My brother goes there every year on a church mission. He teaches them to build trusses so that their roofs don't fall in.

:dunno:

Pretty hard to drop the weight down doing pullups.

Pretty much everything I do is a hobby.

There seemed to be a lot of mentally ill people ranting and raving or talking to themselves. Most just didn't even acknowledge that I was there. One time however I was waiting for a bus and there were two homeless looking guys camped out on the benches at the bus stop. One was a black guy and...

That's too bad that you live in a war zone. I guess I was just lucky. :dunno:

I spent four days in Oakland while my wife was at her conference. I'm a walker, and I walked all over with no problems. We had something going on every night except one, so I was in the hotel. The one evening that we were not in the hotel we took the free bus to Jack London Square for supper and...

They aren't permanent. Well, I guess they are in that the ink stays there, but they fade, stretch a little, and end up looking pretty tattered after about forty years. I got one when I was in the Navy. It looked pretty good when I got it. It has since gotten tired.

Don't need kids or grand kids for an excuse, we'll go see it. Why not? It will be fun.

That's really not funny for me.
