[quote=punch it in;1144331]In all fairness I think Chico referenced a 12 year old experience, and most of the comments were tongue in cheek psychedelic giraffe meme jokes - no need to get all Ronald Reagan in here. The world has bigger issues than mushrooms.

Edit : plus Schneeds tying together drugs with poor people who have ugly wives is way off base. Lol. Too many rich and famous riding the pharmaceutical highway and having cocaine with their cheerios. Im just trying to be fair to the broke dude with a trainwreck for a wife. Its not fair to single him out for getting high...[/quote]

Lol. Anything I "may" partake in these days is pretty much as acceptable as alcohol now.
Who has 12 hours to kill anymore?

Yup. I was well on my way to being the fifth Beatle when that bitch came on board. Than Lennon got assassinated and that was the final nail in the coffin. Paul asked me to join Wings but they weren't into the rite kind of drugs like the Beatles were so I went back to grade school and the rest is history.

I can do drinks...but clearly RedskinMike and BDBohnzie are the experts here. Im sure they can set us up.

Much like the movie and book "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", I always advise having lawyers around...JR and OTM I believe are proper council?

Punch, I feel like this is the wrong thread to post bad news, but I'll say it anyways. It's 2016 man, which means there's most likely a picture of you taking this picture somewhere on the internet with the caption "creeper old guy takes picture of unsuspecting waitress."

Re: The Good News Thread
 

Started a new job within the same company a little over a month ago within a totally different line of business...kinda bringing experience for risk management space to help build out stronger controls within a data management lob. Completely learning a new lob can be intimidating and a challenge but it's like the first time I've really had to think in like 5 years. It's been super rewarding to step outside my comfort zone though...id advise it.

Thanks. Its funny. Everyone waits there whole life to retire, and everyone says that same thing.
I think it just takes getting used too. You doing any traveling ? That is my goal for retirement. Travel. The first thing i am going to do is get in my car and drive West.

Thanks...my dad was finally was able to retire a couple years ago...I thought he summed up something nicely, "you gotta do things now while u can still move around." I thought it was funny at the time...but it's a good perspective about aging and retirement. It's bout doing everything you really want to while you can still physically, move around, drive around, and travel without medical restriction.

Also with just having time, find shit you enjoy. Fishing and gardening has been he'd could finally find time to do. My dad basically worked 50-55 hours a week raising 3 kids for like 25 years...he'd didn't have time for hobbies or hanging with friends.

Same here. I exercise every day and do little pet projects around the house ,as for travel I have done some ,Canada for two weeks last summer and to NC twice to see the kids and I'm going to the Berkshires of Mass in three weeks.Thing is many of my friends can't retire and my wife (of 38 years) is a teacher and is still working.It's all good. Again best of luck in the new jobs.

The Good News Thread
 

So if anyone recalls a few months ago I mentioned a huge deal i was working on with the air force base. I know Schneed was impressed. Lol.
Anyway, it fell through. After being told , and I quote, "you are going to make a lot of money here", and doing all of my due diligence I sat back and waited. Waited for about 60 days, every once in a while touching base,(no pun intended), for the first order. Not the go ahead, as I already locked it up -or so I thought, but an order. Than in the eleventh hour I received a text message from the man. Lets just skip the content and go right to the end - "sorry for the bad news". I was crushed. Like, I contemplated whether I needed to talk to someone because of my depression. Could not even work - which made my problems even worse. Everything i touched turned to turd. Stepped in gum more times in the last couple of months than in my entire life before. Things around the house were breaking. My WP fantasy team was getting scored on by 150 points .., the Skins shit the bed. Had collection agencies calling. It was bad. I thought we were going to lose the house bad. People kept saying "when one door closes, another one opens". I felt like punching each one of them. I said enough of this. nobody died. Money isn't everything. Started just going back and trying to sell.
Than I reached out to a good friend - he had recently taken over his fathers F & I business. They are agents for Allstate dealer services, but also represent several other companies allowing them to either work with the "string of lights" dealerships or the big boys. I took a commissioned position with him. I am still selling chemicals, but my schedule is allowing me to get ramped up with the F&I company while i am getting paid from the slowly dying chemical job. The initial response from friends and friends of friends has been overwhelming. Already getting places signed up and have a laundry list of referrals. I think this will be a really good thing. Had I not been denied by the base I never would have reached out to my friend. I would have been perfectly content with what would have turned out to be a fraction of what I now have in front of me. So...i guess the whole when one door closes thing might just have some semblance of truth to it. Oh - I have not stepped in gum or dogshit, my Washer and Dishwasher are fixed, and my fantasy team and the Skins havent lost since!
