condolences bz i don’t care what anyone says... pets ARE family members their love is unconditional and boundless
So sorry for your loss, BZ. The bound we form with dogs is very special. Someone that is always happy to see you and has a constant positive presence in your life feels too good to be true. My good boy has gotten me through a lot of bad times but his clock is ticking and I can relate to the pain you're feeling. I think we can try to take peace in knowing we gave these good boys the great lives they deserved. I know it doesn't erase the pain but I bet your pal Murphy felt like he won the lottery the day you took him home. You gave him a great life and he got to experience 15+ years of pure joy.
bonds not bounds btw* I think I am programmed not to type that word due to the cheater that played in SF...
Heard this one huh? ? Jesus decides to take a stroll around to check and see how things are doing...he comes upon an old man, sitting on a rock with his face in his hands, crying profusely. Jesus walks towards him and asks "why so sad. What is your sorrow, friend" ? The man still crying with head in hands says" I was a carpenter. I lived with my son...one day he left and I never saw him again. I've looked the world over, but have had no success finding him...but I would recognize him because has holes in his hands and feet"... Jesus, looks down at him with a lump in his throat, and asks, " is that you Father" ? The man looks up, through tearful eyes and asks "Pinocchio"? !
Murph came to me at a time in my life when I was a caregiver to my wife and mother. I didn't go to work then, I was home for a decade trying to hold things together..they both eventually passed, but no way I would have made it without Murphy, especially when it was only my mother left. He saved my mother's life one morning during a spell of dementia she had.He enabled me to do what I had to on a daily basis when I had to leave her alone. And when my own life was falling apart. I was with him 24/7 for 15 years...I can count on my fingers the days I wasn't - all hospital stays. We did everything together, every day, for years.. He was never a dog that just greeted me me when I came home from work type relationship, and then I took him to the park on weekends, etc. We had a job to do every day, and he did his without fail, as a partner. I not only loved him with all my heart, I respected him as much as I ever did anyone in my life.
To each his own, I suppose, BDK. I admire that you've put so much thought into this... I'll give you that much. I hope you find the success you're projecting and I know that many have with a system similar to yours. I couldn't do what you suggest will take two hours a day (in a different post you mentioned two-hour work weeks, which was confusing to me). My point is that even if I could do my charting in two hours, I would still be glued to the monitor for the remainder of the market hours and then probably for the after-market as well. I manage people's money for a living, and the buying-and-holding of diversified portfolios of quality investments has worked well for both me and my clients. That's not to say the allocations aren't managed - they certainly are - but in most cases they're managed proactively, not reactively. Point is, we don't sweat market swings... we trust our allocations, and we hold tight and ride them out. If I was day trading, I'd worry about every tick of movement and I'd be ruled by stress. I'd never feel comfortable detaching myself from the action even for a few hours respite. That's just me. I know everyone is different and you probably have the fortitude to handle this better than I could. Also, I acknowledge that to get to the asset level where they're at, my clients had to work for the man for many years - something you're looking to avoid. Best of luck to you, my friend.
you're not being honest you got better than your price w a last minute balls of steel move congratulations! you can always teach first and supervise whiskey allocations later i am always available as an expert taster
congrats on beating the rap on those molestation charges bkitch good thing young kids aren’t credible witnesses (see @rube) lots of new “crops” for you to harvest in kentucky poor kids
No fuck you huh?! I'm not happy you leaving the southland. Because that would mean I wanted you to leave or I approve of your message of leaving And I didnt. That's how I voted. I voted with my words that I did not want you to leave. Right up till you sign the papers. So by voting against you leaving I was letting you know in my own way that I was 100 percent behind you. And waiting for huh? brand fire water. 100 proof!
Great story about baseball and more importantly, friendship. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/31317684/friendship-memories-year-1969-new-york-mets
Ahh man. That’s a bummer bro. Always admired the pick you had of him as your avatar. Beautiful dogs. 15 years is a long time filled with great memories. stay up friend!
Haha. Yessss. Classic BZ fashion and I wish I could claim it was on purpose but fkuck man... I have no clue how I pulled the BZ on this post...
No more Coumbus Day...Indigenous People Day instead. I'm all for Natives getting their day and shit, very pro Indian, Inuit, Hawaiian, but it should have been done decades ago...not at the expense of another group's day.it Should have taken Thanksgiving's place maybe. I wonder what Frankie Fiveangels would've said about this ?
