No. That's a fishing story. And then there's flirty fishing!

My start time varied. Could be as early as 5:00 am. When I was opening for a
tournament at the golf course, it was 4:00 a.m. Had to put on the coffee and
make sure we had cold drinks and range balls. Snack bar didn't open till
7:00 and same for the beer cart.

Yes, he needed some exposure. People are starting to forget.

It sings, it dances, it lactates. Folks in the business call it a "triple threat."

The difficulty is that professional registration, liability insurance,
accounting fees and software maintenance cost me about 5000 quid per
year. That's a substantial overhead for the occasional small job.

Does the work cover all that very well?

If not I reckon you will need to find something to keep you out of mischief
or heaven help the rest of us :>

I enjoyed to too, but some changes took the fun away. I'm not deluding
myself. I'm not busier than ever and don't plan to be. My major
accomplishments today were taking my wife and a friend to lunch and
renewing my driver's license. With a big lunch we skipped dinner so I
didn't have to do that today.

I don't want to be a growing mass in front of the TV, but I don't worry
about being productive. I was productive for years so I don't care
about it now.
Priorities:
1. My wife's needs and happiness
2. My happiness
3. Anything else that comes along when I get to it.

You sound just like my husband Those are his priorities too)

When we were in college, my wife gave me a birthday card. It was a cute card. One that looked suitable for a 6 year old. It showed a incredibly cutely drawn cartoon kid riding on top of a toy train. He's wearing striped overalls and has a train engineers hat. Even the smoke billowing out of the train is drawn in a happy manner. Inside of the card it says "At least you don't come too early."

It took me about a decade to realize what that was about. Actually, I'm still not totally sure...

Oh, she knew alright.

My wife recently told us that hers was not a happy home when she was growing up. They didn't laugh much in that house. She said that since she's known me, she's absolutely hilarious. I'd have to agree that her family was as dysfunctional as they come. It was my pleasure/duty/honor to pull her out of that environment.

Oh, she knew alright.

My wife recently told us that hers was not a happy home when she was growing
up. They didn't laugh much in that house. She said that since she's known
me, she's absolutely hilarious. I'd have to agree that her family was as
dysfunctional as they come. It was my pleasure/duty/honor to pull her out of
that environment.

Wonderful))))

People that insist on getting the last word or "winning,"
I let them win. I'm not about to start a long lasting
fight. I say my piece then walk away and let them have
the last word. No problem here.

My response was also harmless (at least meant to be).

This is usenet not private mail. Everyone butts in
if they have something to say. That's unfair for you
to say that I "butted into" your post.

Look at the recent thing where Nancy2 posted a question
to me and asked about the potted meat. Several people
here "butted in" and answered her question even before
I read it. No problem.

Unlike the "other Gary's" though,
*I* speak with a Virginia accent. ;-D


> Get a ferret and get a life silly boy.

Here's a sad story. Several months ago, my daughter asked me if I
wanted one of her ferrets. This one didn't get along with any of
the others...always fighting and had to be kept separated from
the others. Seemed to be perfect choice for a one-pet situation.

I was so tempted but still held off taking on such a full time
responsibility until I am ready. That is still 2-4 years from now
for the ideal situation. Anyway, while thinking about it, I told
her that I had some reservations so don't wait for me to decide.
Try to find another home.

Then...about a month later, i decided to throw caution to the
wind and go for it. I felt bad thinking she might still be living
with ferrets but in her own cage - kept separately. So I asked
daughter if she ever found a home and she did. Nice people
adopted her. Good news.

Now a few weeks ago, she emailed me and said that the ferret had
heart problems and the new owners had to put her to sleep. crap!

I feel so sad for the ferret and I'd never even met her. Only
seen pictures. I am glad though that I didn't adopt her for just
long enough to get close, then lose her. I don't deal well with
death. No one deals well with death but I'm way worse with the
issue than the average bear.

Two bulls, a young one and an old one, standing on the hill
looking down at a herd of cows.

Young bull - Look at all those babes.
Let's run down there and get a couple.

Old bull - No. Let's *walk* down there and get them all.

Getting in the last word means coming in last/losing.
Winners get in the first word and then shut up.

Hi Sheldon,
I've been accused in the past of "running away" from an argument.
I don't. Like I said, I'll say my piece then I won't continue
an argument on and on like some do here occasionally.

I have no problem letting go when talking to someone
that just HAS to win and get the last word in.
Nine years with the ex taught me to just let it go
and let her win. She feels satisfied then all is good
again. hahaha

And you'd need 15$ or more for it. The simple McD's here will set them

In Europe McDonalds is for children and for uneducated, lower
socio-economic people. A French or Dutch Ed P. wouldn't meet his mates
there. There are lots of alternatives that are not snooty or
expensive.

Sure, why not, Graham? You're awake, they're awake, why not meet for a
cuppa in the early morning?
