    I was asked to be a manager once and refused it. Actually told them to put the demand in writing just in case I did a horrible job. No way could I deal with being yelled at from the top and the bottom at the same time. It truly takes a saint at some manager jobs.

    Water. People. Boat.

    Insurance is gonna be big.

I was so happy to hear that Jersey house had ended with success, but I'm surprised, and somewhat saddened, to hear that that didn't end your financial worries. You've been working so hard for so long that it would make me really happy to hear that you could finally rest and enjoy at least a semi retirement with your DH. And apologies if you've already talked about this and I just wasn't paying attention...

    Wow Tradd! Score!

    here’s how it went down:


    Tradd’s Management: “we would like you to do this “


    Tradd says: “nope “


    Tradd’s Management: “ok then here’s $10,000 “

    I love this!
