2 years ago i was facing incarceration, and sat 50
days in jail> With that whole ordeal i lost a
good job and went to jail.
Got out, moved back home, found a job, job sucked
but it was a fulltime job. Got a second job to
help make ends meet. Got laid off from my f/t job
as the company did a massive downsize.
Collected a little unemployment and worked part
time my second job.
Quit smoking cigarettes may of 2005. Got my
current job shortly after.
Got my outrageous credit card debt taken care.
Well i'm paying on a 4.25 percent loan for some
time, but... there is a light at the end of the
tunnel.
Working in a foundry isn't most desirable job, but
i make pretty good money, and i got my OT back!
And i got tons of vacation i can use this summer,
and have fun, go to Great America, concerts,
hopefully Ozzfest, local music festivals. So yeah
when i work i may work 40-50 hours a week, but i
can always plan my vacation time! Only thing is
it's best to know in advance and i may have a hard
time getting time off around holidays. No big
deal! I'm planning my stuff around camping,
concerts, etc.
Oh yeah got a heck of a nice car for heck of a
good price.
In summary, yeah i get dirty at work, but the
paychecks are alright, good benefits. Got my debt
in control (yes i am in big debt but the payment
terms are all reasonable)
Not to mention my court fine will be paid off in a
month or two.
Just thinking... life ain't that bad!
Your life sounds good and on 'track' matey.

Yeah, but he needs a dog.
Do you own a dog ? <curious>
Hehehe. I like cats too. It's always nice to have a little pussy around
the place <g>

I had two cats in Scotland because I worked shifts.
I had one cat to begin with but to stop it getting lonely when I was at
work I got another. I used to get home from work to find they'd opened
the kitchen cupboards under the sink and removed all my cleaning
products...and they'd be scattered all over the floor.
I'd have to put them all back and the pair of them would sit looking at
me...I swear they were smiling.
Gotta have a dog. We have two dogs, Sirius Black & Sparks. Two cats,
Super Mario and Sneaky. (See if you can guess which pets are older than
my kids?) I've got some fish in an aquarium too.

I don't doubt it. No reason you can't be both though. Cats are cool, but
dogs love you, very much.

Border Collie mixes. Sirius is a BC / Lab, and Sparks is a BC / Pointer.
He kicks ass at dog frisbee. People think he's part pit bull - he has
a pretty square head.

Anyway, i miss my feline friends! And pets.
Animals are the best.
Are the dogs older than your kids ? What kind of dogs are they ?
Surely it's not the fish ?
I was a cat person for a long long time...basically because of the
thought of having to take out a dog for walks in all weather...and wash
the buggers when they're dirty...
But a few years back I was with someone who bought a dog ( Staffordshire
Bull Terrier ) and that happy wee dug loved me and was great fun to be with.
We'll definitely get another dug when we move house.
That's a nice dug !

That's a good idea.
It's all down to deciding your own priorities. FWIW, I think you're making
the right choice. A new house will keep you so busy for the first year, you
won't miss not having gone to Mexico anyway. And, next year, you can go to
Mexico anyway.

In order of physical bad-assness: Sparks the dog, Mario the cat, Sirius
the Dog and Sneaky the really fat and old cat. If I was to sort them by
bad ass attitude, Mario cat would win, paws down. Sparks is a happy
dog, but he's just so muscular that a cat could never take him and he
knows it. Sirius is pretty much a neurotic wimp. But he's our neurotic
wimp and we love him anyway.
The dog named Sirius Black and the cat named Super Mario were both named
by my kids. I do have some amazingly long lived fish though. I have
some basic tetras, silver with black fins, that I bought in Texas, which
would make them about 10. They're only supposed to live to about 5-6. I
originally had 5, but last 3 over the years.
I'm afraid to add anything new to the tank - they're too old to fuck
with. One strange germ would probably do them in immediately.
>nice picky BUT it is a shame that the website takes over your homepage
>for one of its own :-(
I don't know what you mean by that? Did you pick up a hijack program
that changed your homepage? I've never had that trouble.
Anybody else?
I used to have a cat I simply called 'Fat Fuck'. When she laid down on the
couch, she looked like a throw pillow with toes <g>

Which end did you oull it from?
Sssssh. First I get him to go. Then I get him to spring for two
tickets, then I abandon my husband and kids, much to the shock of the
entire cul de sac....
It's true. The Great Spirit has one -nasty- sense of humor <g>
Doug
Hehehe. More like a black hole <g>
So tell us; What's got your tit in the wringer?
Doug
What?? They can't possibly believe that your one of the Stepford Wives.
Why would it surprise them?
And why abandon them? Just feed him a high caloric diet with lots of low
density lipoproteins, saturated fats, everythinhg processed, and as much
salt as you can get away with.
You could do him in less than 5 years and *then* you get to collect his life
insurance.
As for the kids...... They'd probably fetch a pretty good price in the
white slavery market. Especially if they're pre-pubescent. Just unload 'em
in Mexico and make it look like a snatch job.
Just food for thought <g>
Doug
I kinda wondered that myself <g>
Doug
Not all tears are tears of grief pvc :)
If it takes over your home page for one of its own then I assume your
using Internet Explorer ?
Change to Firefox mate. Much more secure browser...and free !
Pets give a lot of pleasure.
I had to leave both my cats in Scotland when my house was
repossessed...I left them with a neighbour. Good thing about cats is
that fidelity is not one of their strong points...they don't care who's
opening the cat food tin ! :)
Cheery wee soul aren't you ? Hehehehehe
LOL - I think they'd be surprised that I'd be dumb enough to trade in
such a great guy .

No no - I come back, claim some mental defect...I don't know. I haven't
worked that part out quite yet. I can mull it over in Mexico though.
I like the hubby and kids - I don't want to kill them or anything.
Living for the day! Or at least, trying to get Rat away from the
telephone for a few days.
So was Fat Fuck. She couldn't even manage to jump up on the couch. She'd
just set there and whine until you picked her up and sat her on your lap <g>
Doug
Ahhh........ I understand. You just want to 'get away' for a couple of
weeks of wild and fast living with no long-term repercussions <g>
You might try the 'kidnapped' angle, but there have been quite a few of them
who didn't get that to work lately.
I'd suggest 'amnesia' but there's a fairly complex bit of psychological
infra-structure that always accompanies amnesia. Unless you were willing to
study and practice for several months, any medium stupid 3'rd year psych
student would spot it as phoney.
I guess you're on your own. Good luck <g>
Doug
rat.
Rat.,
Good luck to you lass !
ROFLMAO !
Feed her some string. For 'old times' sake. Hehehehehee
I once dated a lass like that. Hehehehehee

Ooooh - that's a good one. Bu I still have to get Rat to Mexico first.
ROTFLMSFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doug
Yes. You have to inflate them.
Yes. My first wife. All I've had to do for the last thirty six years is
stop by from time to time and put flowers on her headstone.
Doug
And then when you complain say it's the last time they're going down on
you !
