What did you accomplish today?

[Singlemalt]

Lol. When I started college...it cost $240 for tuition and $162 for room and board. And I had summer jobs at the mill I later made my career. 1972. It wasn't always like it is today!

Yep it's stacked against the kids now days; no way can a kid make enough money to pay for college and live. My undergrad $260 semester + books; grad $640 quarter + books. I worked as a carpenter summers and breaks til grad school, then had a job field related in grad school

Yeah, the good old days...nobody left school in serious debt. I remember guys less fortunate who barrowed money to get through. The owed as much a 4 yr. old used car upon graduation. I'm sure they were out from under that in a few years.

That's the next bubble to bust..they brainwash n scare all these kids into thinking you are going to be a loser flippin burgers if you don't go to college..they get buried in student loans and can't find decent jobs after they graduate.

Not only that - student loans are exempt from usury laws. Bankrupt? Tough. Still like having knees?

And if Guido don't convince you, the 1st team comes in; the IRS

I know a few bartenders that owe more than I've paid for some of my houses and have nothing but a piece of paper to show for it.

Think it's safe to say most of us here that live good, happy, honest lives never went to college. I make bank. And have no lifelong college debt.

No real schooling for me either, just trade school, which didn't cost much.
I'm puting my daughter through school to be a nurse. My thinking is that she will then meet/marry a doctor and i'll be set.

I used a z-index attribute to fix a menu, fucker was 2px in front of everything and when you zoomed in ( get this ) it over lapped the login button so you couldnt see it ha !! what a day !!

I got this little munchkin through the night... Found her in the street yesterday, frozen in the rain, she was milk white and almost see through. When I got home 2 hours later she was still there, still alive, so I figured the least I could do was bring her home to warm up so she didn't die cold and miserable. 20 hours of 2 hourly feeds later, she's still here. My fella is not amused!

 

[Corso312]

What is it? Squirrel?

 

[supreme bean]

A mole i think.

 

[Cannacat]

I think it's a rat, my fella thought a mole. It's a tiny, tiny baby with its eyes and ears still closed, whiskers but no fur, very unlikely to make it but I couldn't just leave it in the middle of the road to die in the cold. I wrapped her up in a box to warm up next to a hot water bottle, I checked on her later and expected that it'd have died. When I saw she was all pink and warm, squirming and mewling, I couldn't just leave her hungry. You see the rod I've accomplished for myself?

 

[420God]

Good luck with the little one. I found one last year I think and managed to keep it alive for a few days. Might have been too far gone by the time I found it though.

So far, I've drank like a pot and a half of coffee, paid some bills, took a really nice shit - then started cleaning out my tackle box, and re-lining my poles. Getting ready to do some camping/trout fishing this weekend.

 

[tangerinegreen555]

Having a team meeting today (all 3 of us) to decide what kind of primer to use on exterior block. I stripped the paint off with airplane stripper & power washer...and then angle ground it. But, there was decades of 'white wash' build up under the paint that won't come off and is now ground smooth. My pro painter buddy says he will stop over this morning and tell us what he'd use...
