    My loving bride, is a little pissed because I was right. The cut on my ankle is no longer leaking and I can walk pain free and it appears no infection. I will heal without spending $ at an ER for a flesh wound, she kinda gets pissed when I am right, especially when it comes to the difference between being injured or just hurt.

    Gosh it's fun watching mama Gos train her babies. She pitches a fit everytime I go check plot growth. The property behind house is hers! Lol. Definately she has kept chipper and crow noise down. The squirrell have gotten way sneakier or just moved off aswell.
    Come to think about it no pileated this year.

    Saturday we go kid free for the summer, as my son took a summer job in Colorado for a solar company.

    First time in 25 years just me and the wife.

    My kids were gone when menopause started, you will welcome them back as a distraction. That time between menopause and grandkids is a real *****.

    Moving process found a ziplock bag with fishing gear in it. Found the leatherman that I was given for 20 years of service from the DNR thought it was lost. Yet another "gift" I received from my fire career.

    I know people have it worse off than me with medical debt, but my family has been crushed by it for 8 years. Revolving credit card A kicking medical debt. Today, after years of grinding and not buying crap, it's paid off. Never to return.

    That's great news VS such a terrible thing to have hanging over your head. Many years ago I looked at the "lifetime" limit on our insurance at the time. I didn't realize at the time there was a "lifetime limit". After that every accident had me worried about my old age years.
    My recent cancer surgery brought that all back up. Due to they not wanting the paper work and the way our insurance is set up ,we were forced to pay out of pocket up front.
    P.S.
    All covered but then after paying them in" Full" they sent us a office visit bill

    So was down in Florida closing a chapter in my families life. funny it was just me and my little sister there that stepped up not my other entitled siblings. My little sister and I are coexecutors of the estate she looks after the family assets outside of the business, I run the business side. We spent some quality time in Florida laughing and crying and had discussions. She signed off in agreement with me that upon my dad's death the company will be sold to the employees, I have a consultant lined up and no family member not even my dad can prevent the plan of the estate. A major f you to my entitled family members, you are going to work for the employees and look them in the eye when they ask why you can't show up to work till 10:30 or 11 and they are required to be there at 8 sharp. Pisses me off every morning when I unlock the doors and turn on the lights at 7. I have 2 siblings that get $40,ooo a year and full medical health coverage to not show up.

    That would irritate me as well and I would have a similar response.

    So I take it your putting employment provisions in the agreement? Like your family cant be let go. Hows that work anyways? Employees own but then you have 1 or 2 think that gives liberty on actually working a full week. Board members to vote?
