Lost half of it in my divorce two years ago, so I guess once the second half disappears I can just move into a nursing home....:laughing: I have been trying to plan it that way all along....less stuff, less to move...:laughing:

Congratulations Bill. I say go for it; what do you have to lose? :laughing:

chilly here today. Saw a video that claimed was part of the Michigan pileup. Cars and trucks were just going too fast for snow covered roads. There wasn't any whiteout in the video at that particular time.

Got my turbo tax at costco today, was same price as Amazon so picked it up. Also picked up the new Quicken 2015. I haven't upgraded since 2010 version.

rest of the day will be football watching. Thought KY was going to finally lose in Bball, but they pulled it out in 2OT.

GOOD ONE !!! :laughing: :laughing: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

She and I have been exclusives for a year and a half now and been living together for most of that period and have never had a serious disagreement in all that time. We share common goals and beliefs and have identical ideas about religion and politics, we laugh together numerous times a day. She has a MA in social work, teaches part time and mentors, knows how to check oil and tires, can drive my tractor, understands what 4-Lo means on my GMC, can slap on joint compount, run a chainsaw, and use a pressure washer. My family adores her as hers does me.

My only question is: What the h*ll does she see in me.....??? :laughing:

30 years ago my father asked me "didn't you learn the first time"
Well it's 30 years with my wife, like they say "cheaper to keep her"

Best of luck

good Lord preserve them. You are right Ron, my heart took a while to calm. Awful.
In some ways thank goodness for snow if only because on an oblique angle it reduces g force but
head on, well...(vs opaque fog only on a dry roadway)

Why were they driving so fast? Was it clear just a mile or two before?
Talk about overdriving the limits of one's ability and certainly sight.

Bill, She sounds like a very nice and capable lady. I have no idea what she sees in you. ??? :laughing: Are you a minimalist by any chance? :stirthepot:

The Minimalist Principles

1. Omit needless things. Notice this doesn't say to omit everything. Just needless things.

2. Identify the essential. What's most important to you? What makes you happy?
What will have the highest impact on your life, your career?

3. Make everything count. Whatever you do or keep in your life, make it worthy of keeping. Make it really count.

4. Fill your life with joy. Don't just empty your life. Put something wonderful in it.

5. Edit, edit. Minimalism isn't an end point.
It's a constant process of editing, revisiting, editing some more.

“Fear less, hope more;
eat less, chew more;
whine less, breathe more;
talk less, say more;
love more, and all good things will be yours.”
- Swedish proverb

"Be Content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”
- Lao Tzu

Or, Dave, she might see in Bill that he has a tractor, a GMC, a chainsaw, a pressure washer...

You go Bill, Good luck!

Pixguy · Jan 10, 2015

Good luck Bill, our lives are not a dress rehearsal and we should enjoy it while we are here.

Be happy..... It won't last. :laughing:

daugen · Jan 10, 2015

What Bill's fiancee sees is a man of distinction possessing both a green tractor and a green lawn mower.
Plus lots of other toys. Clearly a man of good taste. And if she has been a social worker, she should be quite experienced in knowing something good when she sees it.
Best of luck to you both.

Ya, it was probably the pressure washer that sealed the deal. :laughing:

Yep, Bill I think the saying is if you don't succeed the first time become a hermit, wait no, it's try, try again.

Thanks for the kind and supportive words, you guys...and dave 1949....you are right....I am SO glad I purchased that Briggs gas powered 2600 psi model rather than the wimpy 1600 psi Karcher electric....:laughing:
