[quote=bearishgurl][quote=flu][quote=bearishgurl]flu, you are free to sit all day with your quickbooks acct up on your toolbar and the NASDAQ in “real-time” on another popup, managing your life with a fine toothed comb from an internet connection from “8 to 5” and beyond.
I just hope nothing “expensive” ever happens to you throughout life for which you have no control over :=0[/quote]
BG,
Well gee .. I’d say going to get chemotherapy weekly/biweekly for the past year, feeling like shit half the time of my week, and meanwhile holding on to my otherwise higher stress job at the same time + getting promoted last week in the process (obviously because I was lazy) + closing on a shitty rental property during this period + raising my kid + managing my finances without getting my ass handed to me + looking for a newer SFH + dealing with tenants…all at the same time…
You’re right… I have it way too easy…I’m just sitting on my ass all day….
Sorry, if I have very little tolerance for excuses…Because frankly, you’re right life isn’t fair. A lot of people had it a lot easier than me. But what? You think I want a squeaky violin/sympathy vote. No thank you…[/quote]
You forgot about your x-mas present to yourself … which turned you into a “Certified Miata mechanic” in your “spare” time :=][/quote]
BG, my point is. Life isn’t fair. We aren’t on equal footing. But unless a person really is mentally challenged, if a person wabt something bad enough, go fvcking get it.
Very rarely are things ever going to be spoon fed to you. Very rarely is anything “easy” or “guaranteed”. If it were, everyone else would be doing it. Because fundamentally humans are lazy..If I don’t understand something, my options are (a) to completely ignore it or (b) understand it and then decide.
(a) means you *might* pass up opportunity
(b) You might end up wasting a lot of time with no expected outcome.
Take your pick…But if you decide door (a), while it would be pretty funny for folks that opened door (b) and failed miserably such that we can mock them….don’t complain if the same person that opened door (b) didn’t fail. It might have been luck, it might have been work or both… It doesn’t matter. It was your choice for (a)….they chose (b).
I could sit here and make excuses for why I didn’t buy a bette home or more property in 2011, like I wasn’t feeling well, or I wasn’t around in SD or etc. The real truth is I chickened out and didn’t want to commit to it unitl much later…Oh well….Kudos to folks that managed to have the ball to scoop things up when everyone else was screaming with their heads cut off….
