The economy sucks here so badly right now, and the shop is so slow I'll probably be eligible for the low income federal sales tax GST rebate next year.
I always make a point to waste any money I get back from the Gov (other than my income tax refund, if I make a math error and get one) so its beer and lotto for the win!
I make 9 bucks an hour and can't get full time hours. Fortunately for me, I have almost no bills, and a running car. Good enough.
I'm so busy at work I don't have time to spend the extra money I'm making.
My wife has time to spend it and she does but I really appreciate her 30+ years of commitment to me. I'm a jerk to live with.
I'm losing my job on November 18th. I'll get back to you on the bright side.
I haven't worked in almost a year and haven't been full time in nearly 18 months. But I have my health, and that's only in thanks to needing reconstructive surgery on my shoulder.
The world works in mysterious ways.
I often complain about E36 M3. But really, I have nothing to complain about.
This seems appropriate.
My brother finally moved out of my basement, yay!!
He no longer pays me rent each month, my budget just took a $400 a month hit. As if things weren't tight

Take this harbor freight 20% off coupon as a token of appreciation for your support of the American worker
You've got Chinese people sweating it out in a factory 12 hours a day for peanuts. I'm not going to feel like a bad guy for helping them feed their family. They gotta eat too.
If it weren't for those factories I might not have the job I have. We supply a lot of equipment to them.
If it weren't for harbor freight I wouldn't be able to justify a lot of the tools I have.
I'm the only one left on my team covering sex counties and supporting 36 people. By myself.
The bright side is that no one questions me about E36 M3!

Don't feel too bad. Last year I lost my dog, house, wife, and was laid off twice.
Got a new girl and new job this year. Ups and downs.

You people in NC do have trouble with your sex, doncha?
Our new long-term Ridgeline got here, and some lady backed into it in the Walgreens drive-thru on the second day Tim had it... and then he found out that when you park the car in the parking lot, put the fob in your pocket, go sit at your desk and hit the buttons just right, the sunroof and all the windows open. Did I mention that this all happened Tuesday, during a tropical storm? On the bright side, the long-term Ridgeline got here. Also, gotta admit, that whole sequence of events was pretty hilarious.

I'm 60/40 on my current situation being better than it was 2 months ago.

You assume that's the only bad thing I've been through in the last year. You would be wrong.
Doc finger-banged my pooper. :-(.
My prostate is fine. :-)

How does being a country singer pay? The fans are 80/20 aren't they? Hope you got one of the 20%

Speaking of which, a while back I got a notice from my doc that I was due for one. I called and they said I didn't need one for another 5 years. So what is the interval for a mid-50's male? It had been 6 years since my last one, and I thought the interval was every 5 years. I'm also not inclined to do it sooner then I have to, though!

Hard to say, really, the docs don't seem to have any consensus. I've had my PSA checked every year for about the last 10 years, though my doctor says he doesn't recommend it any more because of false positives. I go ahead and get it and the finger wag every year because my father and all his male siblings had prostate cancer. One died from it. So I'm high risk to begin with.
Just remember, if your doctor has both his hands on your shoulders when he does it, you are not the only one enjoying it.

Twice a year. Seems like an odd thing for a dentist to check but I guess you can't be too careful.

Most Drs. wouldn't know a prostate if it bit them on the nose. Right before my urologist removed my prostate, he said it definitely wasn't enlarged and had no lobes.
