There's Bri!
I know...I can't remember if I'm the age I really am or if I'm the age I say I am because I'm going to be that age that year anyway so I might as well say it.

Hi Infinite monkey!
I've had a busy few weeks. 7 of the 11 trees on my property have to come out due to that wind storm we had last week, and I need an entire new roof - a complete tear-down and re-do. I live just behind that apt. building that lost its roof. And my computer crashed. A coupla other unsavory things happened, too, but they are best forgotten. I am suspicious of July, always have been, and this July has been a Very Bad Month, Indeed.

I thought you might have had some problems from the storm.
It has been a bad month. I told a friend that I must've gone to sleep earlier in the month and woke to find everyone I know had gone crazy. I've had some very unsavory things happen too...well, actually weird things happening with people I know, and a death or five. Ugh. Glad you're OK, though. August is just around the corner.

I am self employed. This is sometimes feast and famine. I have no box to check but I am happy I don't have to get up at 7 to be to work at 9 but sometimes I have to get up at 5 to groom a steer, breed a cow or pull a calf. No days off for me but no boss harassing me.
So yesterday after being 101 degrees the front tire blew on the tractor. This was a used tractor we bought and whomever had it had 3 different lug head sizes on it and they were so rusted on we had to use a torch to get them off. That was so much fun to do in 100 degree humid sweaty heat. We went to get a replacement tire, came back and of course the electric went off GAH! So no air conditioning in our house for 3 hours. Then we had a nice rain storm which blew down trees all over and made it feel like a sauna!!! I am crazy but I would not trade my life for anything.

I've said before I'm envious of your life, Nirvana. Hard work is good for a body, and your life sure beats my cubicle-inhabiting one.

Every now and again I look at my spam folder, just in case something real tumbles into it by accident ...
I think I would make an excellent punishing agent for Mr. Jabir, but I would want more than $400/week. Quote:

It's probably minimum starting wage. If you get your foot in the door (so to speak) and work really hard you might rise in the ranks.

We learn new lessons every day
The squeeze is getting tighter. I was under employed several years ago. There weren't many high paying job openings in my field so I started a small business. I have the ability now to take advantage of all of the business tax deductions and make an unlimited income. It's like the saying goes, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade". I was fortunate enough at the time to realize my situation and take a step in the right direction. You should look at the options if you find yourself wondering how you're going to make it financially.
