[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=Coronita][quote=scaredyclassic]i do worry way too much, according to my therapist.
But I reply, wouldnt you rather be a ukrainian with $2 million in assets than a ukrainian with $2,000? save your rubles, i say, disaster lurks everywhere.
the therapist tells me to relax and go have fun. enjoy life. it’s short, etc.
i see perfect bars at the store are up to $3.50 from $2.50 a few months ago. I vow never to eat another perfect bar. i rage about the possibilities for poverty.
therapist says, just eat a fucking perfect bar if you
want.
i say I dont want to.
he says fine, dont fucking eat it. and rubles are worthless anyway.

I like volunteering and spending my money on help kids in STEMs get what they need to do well at competitions. No kid who is motivated should be at a disadvantage simply because there is not enough money to be spent on basic tools needed to do well.[/quote]
that is nice. i need to think more of others and forget myself.
I like to shop at barons because it’s on the way home by bike. But apples cost a lot. Need to calculate out gas cost to Asian market, divide by time, factor in cost of wear and tearing the car.
Hmmm. Too complex[/quote]
It’s funny. I spent the last few hours agonizing over losing my e12 socket and having to spend $7 to buy a new e12.
But no issues dropping money on a new gear during competition when things unexpected broke. I think I’m getting close to break 5 digits soon. But to see kids light up and determined because you armed them with the tools to they need to compete is pretty compelling.
FWIW This team isnt one I’m affiliated with, but they are a great team. They need $25k for a CNC to better compete.
