Out in the real world, making a living, rasising a family, running my businesses. The usual thing. Not to be cruel, but how's that working out for you? |

Shrug..slow because of the Christmas season. My big clients closed down for 2 weeks for inventory and the holidays. Ill be up to my ass in work again when they fire the machines up after New Years. So Ive been taking a working holiday working on the homestead. I had 4 pages of Stuff to do, and got about half or so accomplished so far. I put 4 new tires on the ex's car today, an expense Id not expected. Shrug, but the grandkids had a pretty good Christmas, and Ive paid cash for everything. Works for me. And you? Gunner "[L]iberals are afraid to state what they truly believe in, for to do so would result in even less votes than they currently receive. Their methodology is to lie about their real agenda in the hopes of regaining power, at which point they will do whatever they damn well please. The problem is they have concealed and obfuscated for so long that, as a group, they themselves are no longer sure of their goals. They are a collection of wild-eyed splinter groups, all holding a grab-bag of dreams and wishes. Some want a Socialist, secular-humanist state, others the repeal of the Second Amendment. Some want same sex/different species marriage, others want voting rights for trees, fish, coal and bugs. Some want cradle to grave care and complete subservience to the government nanny state, others want a culture that walks in lockstep and speaks only with intonations of political correctness. I view the American liberals in much the same way I view the competing factions of Islamic fundamentalists. The latter hate each other to the core, and only join forces to attack the US or Israel. The former hate themselves to the core, and only join forces to attack George Bush and conservatives." --Ron Marr |

Well, I'm making a whopping $35 editing a short story for a neighbor. (Look out, Ed!) So Ive been taking a working holiday working on the homestead. I had 4 pages of Stuff to do, and got about half or so accomplished so far. I put 4 new tires on the ex's car today, an expense Id not expected. I sincerely hope you went to Wally World and had the $18 tires put on. I ran the cheapies on my Ford ($34 installed, balanced, warranty) for a decade. They were made by B.F. Goodrich, the company who supplied the OEM tires to Ford. -- We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality. -- Albert Einstein |

Gunner Glad to hear you're doing well. I'm doing OK, we're all healthy and fairly secure financially. I'm ready for some lean years if that's what we have in store. I realize I'm lucky not to have to worry about health insurance and private pension plans that have been plundered. |
