  1. Instead of auto... try full auto... and take him out to shoot some machine guns. People love machine guns. And if they don't... well.... they love tampax (a cheaper alternative).
  2. How old is it? Are the graphics on the cans straight?
  3. As always, CR serves as my number 1 referral system for all things "life". Long story short. My mom was babysitting and dropped a glass into the sink. It broke and a large piece fell into the disposal and its jammed (won't move). I need a referral for someone that can come open up the disposal and take the glass out. As an added "maybe". My sink faucet drips. Diagnosis/fix of they would also be great. Thanks, Bob
  4. I expected a LOL face with this one.... the fuck?
  5. Yeah, I like the stories. I'm a fucking guy. Duh! I was merely saying: The stories are cool, but I don't think you are the one who "has it made".
  6. Sometimes us happily married guys pretend like we are interested in our "over 30" single friends escapades because we feel bad that they are "the leftovers" scraping the bottom of the barrel for other "leftovers". Sometimes I act interested just so they don't feel left out. It's actually something that makes me feel sad/bad when I see the (one guy in particular) who is one of my good acquintances stance when he was telling me that I was an idiot for getting married at 27... And now (at 33, as is he) he has professed for about 2 years how he doesn't think that he can find a suitable mate and that it worries him severely because all of his friends are married and he can't find a decent girl. So, what does he do? He goes on Tinder dates and bangs chubby girls. Anyone with kids will tell you that it is the single greatest blessing in life. My biggest worry is that some men will find a mate when it's (nearing) too late to have them (safely). Or worse... (As someone stares Tinder/etc being the bargain cave of the relationship world) they have to settle for the "I don't want kids" kinda woman. Sorry, all this faithfulness and kid-talk makes me sound like s GOP candidate. I'm proud of my marriage, is it not cool to be proud of it in this day and age? Should I keep telling my buddies "man, you got the life buddy! Banging chicks, living in an apartment in the short north, driving a c300..."

  8. 40k budget.....? For repairs?
  9. This may offend some... But good chances for "excellent" relationships dry up as you approach 30. All my "I'm loving being single" friends (when we were 25) are now shitting their pants at age 32 because it seems like the "market" is full of damaged goods. My friends who are actually on Match.com and trying to find a mate are finding some pretty weird women. The "I moonlight as a bus driver" chick The girl with the dick nose The girl who was a full blown alky The girl with wide hips and no tits I mean... There's a reason they aren't married already.
  10. All I want to do in life is have enough money so that I can spend more time with my family and not be limited. I also want to help others do this as well. And I am very passionate about trying to help people follow the same (or better) path. I care as much about this as my sentence above.
  11. So, that is REALLY funny that you mention that. I got out of school in 2007 and had a goal of "helping people". I got into staffing because I thought it was a great way to make money and actually have a product (job) that every potential customer would be willing to listen to. Fast forward to 2009, I met a guy who is decently-well-known speaker/consultant and I said to myself "I WANT TO DO THAT" because he was SUCH a positive person. nothing was impossible to this man. His outlook was simply amazing. BUT, before I could "do that" (become a speaker)... I knew that I had to go out and "have success" so that I had something to reference when speaking to people (IE- who was I to be a consultant/speaker if I couldn't reference my own success... right?). So, I made a plan in 2009 to "go out an get success" and had to tune myself to be "an open canvas" in terms of learning from experiences. My single greatest strength was/is this.... "I never let myself think that I knew everything. I can learn something from everyone so I better be open, listening, and willing to adopt ideas that are better than my own". Fast forward to today, I have had (as planned) success in following (ego-much?) my initial goal/plan/roadmap because I stuck to my plan. And my plan was to gain success, and then share my stories with others in order to help them achieve their goals. So, in a nutshell... Clay, you freaking nailed it. My plan in 2007 as a new-grad was this... 1. Get an entry level job in sales, improve my abilities. Stay there for 2 years. (CHECK!) 2. After skill was acquired, find an opportunity to start/grow a business. (CHECK!) 3. Start a business of my own. blow it up, sell it. 4. Go tell others how to improve their business by using my own experience. Things are going as planned but with a couple little changes. - My goal was to start my own business by age 33 and sell it by age 37. But, I just turned 33 and I am still "working for someone else" (kinda).But, as a partner who will participate in the sale of this company I will have a similar outcome. - I started a small side business that could be my takeover when we sell our current business (so technically, I was/am a business owner by age 33 . And, that business is growing really well. So, I am technically, in the middle of step 3 in my plan. And, the hardest part of sticking to a plan is seeing different opportunities, distractions, and people (along the way) that try and talk you out of being successful because "huge success is rare". You have to put the blinders on and face forward.

  13. I'm sorry, I cannot leave this thread with my last post not being encouraging. So here is your encouragement. What are you? 24? When I was 24 I was making less money than you. Anything is possible if you keep your eyes/mind open.
  14. You never answered the ambition question. How far do you want to go in terms of money/responsibility? And, judging by your "I don't wanna do da healthcare" reply when I was merely giving an example... I think it's safe to say that we are on different wavelengths. Good luck! You need to open your mind and step far far FAR outside the box before you start threads like this. Your mind is closed. I'm sorry man. Your statement about "wanting a career rather than a job" is puzzling because of all your preconceived confinements. If I told you I had s job where you could make 70-90k pounding out a phone sales job you'd probably come back with "I'm not sure I'd like doing that"... And for that reason I cannot help you. "You need to be open" Then "You need to make a plan" You can't even begin to accomplish your goal (this thread's first post) until you realize that opportunity is rare enough to Really pay attention to.
  15. So... let's recap... here's what people have told you to do with your life. A "trade" - 3 votes IT bro - 3 votes Nursing - 2 votes Railroad - 2 votes Jegs CSR - 1 vote Aviation - 1 vote Dancer - 1 vote Outdoor stuff - 1 vote None of this matters until you explain to me your level of ambition. None of this matters unless you make a plan and stick to it. "None of this matters until you explain to me your level of ambition". Here's why: Let's use nursing as an example (since it's so near and dear to me)... 1. You can become an LPN for the rest of your life and make 30K 2. You can become an RN and make around 40K doing home health. 3. You can be an RN and make 40K-80K (tenure/specialty) doing hospital work. 4. You can be an advanced practice RN and make 100K-225K depending on what you do. 5. You can be an RN and get into an executive path that leads from 80K-300K. 6. You can be an RN and start your own travel nursing company and make millions. DO YOU SEE WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW YOUR AMBITION LEVEL? I specialize in this shit. feed me information. Let my 1-6 chart sink in....
  16. Respectfully, this thread is getting too complicated. Also important to note - A vocation-like job is only going to make you feel the way you currently feel: A. Later in life, when... B. You hit the ceiling within that vocation-like job. which means... C. You are delaying the inevitable by trying get into something you understand a pathway in versus trying something new/foreign/risky that makes you uneasy. Being uneasy is a good thing. No one ever looked down on someone who endeavored a large challenge (career-wise).
  17. My advice: Start by getting into a job where you have to sell something to someone. Every business has to make money, which involves people who sell the product/service. Learn how that business operates and takes notes regarding core necessities that you see. Then go start your own business (same niche, or different) where you can apply the things you have learned. That's how the world works.^^^ A lot of this other advice will end up getting you to a ceiling eventually. Your level of ambition will be very telling when you quote/respond to this post. Then I can help you more.
