Well, that's my point! I AM unemployed again as a matter of fact, but
whose to say being "employed" is a way we all want to be anyway?

I've had some of ther nest times in my life not being employed, or
being what you call "unemployed"! Best Summer of my teenage life,
living outsude in a ballfield, smoking pot and drinking free cheap
beer (because I was the only one in my crowd who was 19 and could
legally buy beer in IL which was just right over the river from STL!)
and it was the BEST SUMMER of my life!! Then when I got fired from IBM
and cashed in my 7 year's accumulated 401K with my job at IBM, paid
off ALL my debts and spent over 1/2 my weeks living in my minivan down
by the river and boating more whitewater than I did in my almost 10
years of whitewater paddlling experience at the time, that was another
pretty damned good time in my life!

I wanna do it AGAIN!! :-) Retirement suits me well.

Of course, I came into a small inheritance when my father's younger
sister, my Aunt Mil, passed away recently. Allowed me to pay off both
my credit cards and two big student loans! Now I'm a "deadbeat" as the
Credit Card corporations calls us!! Hee hee! You know, people who pay
off their CC every month and never accrue or pay interest? :-)

For me it's a serious question! I'm way past the normal retirement age
but have been working fairly continually since that milestone, but not
for financial reasons. With major cutbacks in the oil industry, I am now
effectively retired and I'm finding it difficult to adjust.

I worked for the government and they wanted to cut back and offered
early retirement. I was fed up with working with sword over my head so I
took it. I would have liked to work for a few more years but there was
always the risk of our program being cancelled, and there was a 6 month
window to take the package, so I retired at 53.

I made a deal with myself that if I ever found myself sitting around
watching Jerry Springer on daytime TV I had to go out and get a job. I
have lasted 11 years. I try to get out of the house my 11 am each day.
I keep pretty busy.

Is some former employer sending you a pension?

[John Kuthe]

So sorry for you.

Yeah, I've been fairly psychotic for quite a while stressing about
finanacial crap. Stupidly huge student loan debs and credit card
debts, I've been seriosuly suicidial at times!! I even investigates
what would happen to my student loan debt when I die, and learned they
go nowhere and no one assumes the dept so the loaners get stuck, which
was on my Pro side for killing myself to stick it to those bastards
because I felt SO SICK about my finacial problems, whiuch are a LOT
better now! (Thank you Aunt Mil! More than you can ever know, now
espesially!)

Why are YOU finding retirement "hard to adjust to" as you said? If
it's not for finacial reasons, they why?

Credit card companies actually *like* customers who pay in full each
month. Those customers are very low risk, and merchant fees way more
than cover the cost of doing business, especially since they float credit
at near 0%, so the 30 day grace period costs them almost nothing.

It's true, credit card companies do call us who pay our credit cards off each month "deadbeats." We don't carry a balance thus we pay no interest and they make no money from our accounts.

#1. Ben Stein is a Fascist asshole.
#2. The Federal funds rate at the time that aired was not particularly high,
but only 3 years earlier it was over 6%, which meant that the 30 day grace
period made a significant impact on credit card issuers' profits. The Fed
Funds rate is 0.25% right now.

Remember, Bryan is probably suffering from Narcississtic Personality

[W. Lohman]

Hmmm...

I wonder if he'd be willing to take the linked test:

http://psychcentral.com/quizzes/narcissistic.htm


I did and scored:


"Your Total: 13

Between 12 and 15 is average.
Celebrities often score closer to 18.
Narcissists score over 20. "


The results, if honestly told, could be enlightening.

[John Kuthe]

Of course he will not. Narsissists feel they are far to smart to be
tested, they feel THEY know better!!

Right Bryan?

PS: No matter WHAT you feel about Ben Stein, he SAID in that video I
posted, that credit card companies call people who pay off their CC
bill every month and never pay any interest "Deadbeats". QED!

Asshole! ;-)


So sorry you can't pay off YOUR CC every month! I can now. Checked my
bank balance just today after not even looking at it for months. and I
have MORE money in it that I though I might! Yay for ME! :-)

Bryan, you so consistently demonstrate many if not all of the
signs/symptoms of Narcississtic Personality Disorder, it'd almost be
amusingly scary if it was not so indicatively true! I got a nursing
education and I finally know what your problem probably is! You are
correct, I'm just an RN, I cannot legally diagnose you. I know that.
But I AM a medical professional, and I advise doctors all the time of
my professional nursing observations, and suggest treatments and
medications that only the MD can prescribe, order, diagnose, whatever.
That's the way the nurse/doctor relationship works, we work as a team
for the good of the client/patient. We have had the same medical
education, the MD's being much deeper and extensive of course. That's
why the MD has all the final responsibility, and it's MY resposibility
as a nurse to carry out the MDs orders, which I as a nurse have to
check with my internal database of medical knowlege to insure the
patient's safety!! When I was doing my nursing preceptorship I as the
adminstering nurse saved a patient from getting an erronious dose of
Plavix!! He was in for a spinal surgery and the medical team had taken
him off Plavix and switched him to a differentt anticoagulant in
preparatioon for his upcoming surgery. But the med order in the
computer still had him on Plavix! I pulled the meds as ordered in the
computer program to administer to the patient. I stood there with the
Plavix tablet in the meds I was gonna give the patient and I just KNEW
there was a mistake going on there!! I went to the NP on staff and
explained the situation. The NP went into the computer orders for the
patent and took the Plavis order off the patient's med list! I SAVED A
PATIENT FROM AN ERRONEOUS MED ORDER IN THE COMPUTER! That's what a
nurse does. Keeps a doctor from "killing a patient", as we say!

Bryan, PLEASE go get therapy! Seriously. You need it. I'm not saying
this to "one up" you, I'm saying this as a nurse who cares about you.
I'm a nurse now. I never really uinderstood the full weight of what
being a nurse meant until I became one.

[John Kuthe]

Or has very LOW self esteem.

As a nurse, my advice is to go see your doctor.

[dsi1]

Cut me a break man, my aspirations only goes so far - sainthood is good
enough for me. :-)

[John Kuthe]

Yes, it's a very good medical website. Very good information.

Always consult with your "health care provider" is the standard nurse
line for everything! And it's not just a way to enrich the medical
care provider's bank account, although it does that too. It's for
patient safety and to insure the patient gets appropriate medical
care, primarily.

[W. Lohman]

I think he's just got good head space.

[W. Lohman]

That's very non-narcissistic of you.

Cool.

[W. Lohman]

Yep, but the medical industry preaches this approach because it
narrows the range of potential lawsuits in a very litigous society!!
My saying it this wat it makes ot very clear that me or any seconary
adviser is merely advising, but the primary and only material
potential litigant IS the advisees "health care provider",
traditionaly an MD but NPs (Nurse practioners) and other medical
providers have legal prescriptive authority, under the supervision OF
an MD, who has the ultimate responsibility.

You might expect that they would be grateful for getting a cut of the
sales. I use mine for some monthly bills and for online and telephone
purchases and down payments. The only time there is a balance carried
over is if someone forgets to pay the bill, in which case it is paid
within a few days. I am surprised to so hear much credit card debt some
people carry.

[Username]

I have a $70,000 credit limit on my Chase card and have always paid my
balance in full. I charge roughly $75,000 per year on that card to
accumulate airline miles and they still like me. They collect a
percentage from the merchants and keep whatever is left after they pay
for my miles.

That was interesting. My score was 5, and honestly answered. It shows
that I don't have a very high opinion of myself, then again I answered
in the context of my work rather than a combination of work and personal
life.

[W. Lohman]

That's a different way of viewing it.

Maybe retest with your personal life included. But you must be easy to
work with regardless.

[Ed Pawlowski]

Was that about 2008? Credit card companies were cutting credit limits
for most everyone. I had a card with $30,000 limit and it was cut to
$10,000, a more sensible amount even though I never had anywhere near
that on it. .

[graham]

I had a CC with a $10k limit that the bank periodically increased. I had
them take it down to the minimum $500 and I use that card solely for
online transactions. After a year or so, they said that as I was a good
customer, they offered to increase the limit to $1k. :-)

[Bryan-TGWWW]

We had a Chase card that had been at 5.9% for quite a few years, and in
spite of having stellar credit, they raised our rate. We quit using their
card, and paid off the balance at 5.9, and put all of our new charges on a
new card that was 6.99%, but earned credit toward a GM car. We used the
maximum allowable for the model we bought, which brought the price on a hail
damaged car with a $15,9xx sticker price down to $11,900. That's how I came
to own a Chevy Aveo, fully loaded, which is not a car that I would have
considered if not for the kickass price.

[John Kuthe]

Another typical symptom of Narcississtic Personality Disorder which
I've seen Bryan display MANY times! He feigns normalcy by feigning
compassion and felicity by feigning understanding of a bad situation
you just told HIM about by telling you a story aboujt HIM which starts
with a story about HIM which sounds like he';s being compassionate
with/for you, but NOPE! He then in the blink of an eye tirns it into a
story of LOOK AT ME! LOOK HOW COOL I AM!! I turned that analogous
story I just told you to gold for ME! I am SO COOL! (Pat's himself on
the back, metaphorically speaking.)

I have seen Bryan do this many times. It is how he has learned over
the years to speciously appear nice, understanding and compassionate,
but as we can see clearly in this story he just told HE IS NOT!! He
is, as they say ALL ABOUT ME! ME! ME! ME!! Left alone to his own in
conversation ( which is what Bryan is limited to anyway) he would
NEVER AGAIN address anything you just told him, UNLESS it was to
benefit HIM!! And of course he does it IRL in a very speciously nice
sounding tone and demeanor! He uses this strategy MANY times with
females, to as we used to say "get his dick wet"! Which again is all
about HIM!!!

Bryan, get therapy!! I love the "nice Bryan" you learned to feign.
He's really a pretty cool and fun person to be around! I miss him!

Yeah, credit card banks, etc. are starting to learn the folly of their

If I went anywhere near my limits I'd be concerned. Still, it's nice
to have it there, available. What use is a $500 limit, it might get
you by most of the time but gee, that one month you pick up a lawn
mower or something and you can't feed the cat. (laugh)

I don't carry a balance but I do sometimes charge a vacation and
maybe an insurance bill in the same month, you need a little wiggle
room.

You are correct Nancy, in the out of control wild Lassies Faire

believed where everything seems far too expensive, a $500 credit limit
seems a drop in the bucket! But it $500 really a drop in the bucket?
If so, send me $500 right away please! After all to you it's the

You're getting old, dude! That's not even clever!! HA!

[meda...@gmail.com]

Neither are you. You're both prancing ponies. Just stop. You're not retired. You've been fired so many times you're just unemployable X 3. That's just sad. A totally wasted life, professionally. Bobo, on the other hand, has never been employable beyond the most menial labor. You must both be so proud. I have no idea why you both have outed your real identities on the internet. Of all people, you two fags have the most you should be hiding. What, exactly, are you thinking?!? One rudimentary google search would rule you out of almost any job. Again - just stop.

[John Kuthe]

Wasted life? HA!! On the average, I've had more fun in my week than
you've has in your YEAR! And I'm enjoying now a fantastic Spring, in a
new great house, with possibly the best room in the place with a
fantastic east view where I sxzee the sunrise every morning!! And I
have a cool outside deck right outside my bedroom window upon which I
was enjoying my second morning cup of coffee in the bright cool Spring
sunshine thinking this is much like living in some type of demented
suburban TREEHOUSE! (In the nicest possible way of course!)

I'm truly sorry about your chronic intractible pain. It surely really
sucks, and I do truly feel badly for you. If I could remove your pain
I certainly would. I understand this pain is probably what makes you
so mean. :-(

Certainly, no one should hire him as a nurse, what with the drugs and the advertising that he gets a kick out of practicing nursing on women's female areas.

> Bobo, on the other hand, has never been employable beyond the most menial labor. You must both be so proud.

All work is respectable, and I actually really liked resilient floor care. I
miss doing it. Sometimes when I see a cleaning person at work using a dust
mop, I wish that my job included some dust mopping.

> I have no idea why you both have outed your real identities on the internet.

I live my life very much in public. I really have very little to hide.

> Of all people, you two fags have the most you should be hiding.

I like the fact that I disgust you. I wish that I could fart in your general
direction. John, on the other hand, pities you (see below).

Don't mess with John Lennon around me, pal. He was (and still is) my
all time favorite musician. He was extremely talented, versatile, and
not at all "UPPPPITAAAAAAY!" (tm Medavis5).

This world lost a lot of great future music when he was killed early
in life.

As far as Yoko? That was John Lennon on drugs. ;)

perhaps for "Your Side Of The Story", a poem he wrote which the Cheep

we recorded anything. No rehearslas either!! Of course we had some
very good musicians on the Cheep Effects too! (Not me of course, I

Thanks for that link, Bryan. I question the validity of it though. Why
in the world would Yoko wait about 30 years to "out" John. Had she
blown all her inhertance from him and hoping for some income from the
book? Cheap ugly slut. And Julian saying he was basically ignored by
his dad. He probably was but I'll bet John paid a nice child support
payment for him.

BTW - I heard one of Julian's own songs years ago. It was good and he
DID sound just like his dad. Figured he might make a good music career
himself but I've never heard more about him.

Sounds like John really babied his and Yucko's son, Sean. Don't wait
all this time to speak up dissing JL. It's easy to do without him here
to say his side of the story. If the other Beatles members chimed in
to verify this nonsense I might believe it a bit more. I'll bet you
George won't say anything bad about him though. ;)

Anyway, I saw a music video years ago. It was the Beatles performing
in a pub in Germany. The song was "Get Back" and they sang it in
German. Interesting. The funny part was at one part during the song,
John started goosestepping back and forth across the stage, holding
his arm up in a "Heil Hitler" nazi salute. LMAO! That took a lot of
nerve! hehehh I can picture *YOU* doing something like that when you
were in your band.

This one?

He did sound like his father. Even looked like him. I'd say it's hard
to follow in such huge footsteps. It was a good song, though.

George can't say anything bad about him. He is definitely dead. Paul

So is the definition of a great dad "he paid a lot of support"?


Like most stories like this, there is some truth, some exaggeration and
the celebrity held up as a great person is just another human with
plenty of faults.

If she is telling the truth, she is NOT a cheap ugly slut. Well, not
pretty for sure.

That is truly hilarious, Sheldon. I know what you are suggesting. It's that
men who don't like eating raw clams and women who don't like eating liquid egg
yolk and red meat are less likely to enjoy performing oral sex. What's funny
is that there might actually be a correlation.
