Yes, money is a little useful at times.

As long as I'm busy I don't mind. You tend to not notice the passing of the day. It's these slow times that I don't like, they get me down too.

Speaking of money, the scrap yard owes me a few hours, guess I'll be making a call today

Good morning folks.

Sid, sorry to hear about your dog.

Dave, I know it sucks to see a business just dry up. Keep plugging along, something will turn up.

I don't know what I am going to do and I presently have zero drive or motivation to do do anything.

I am really tired of this.

Oh, and Rick. No, everything is not okay.
not making the bills sucks. sorry to hear it, dave.

huh.... what does your mother think you are blaming them for?

I don't feel too bad at least I recognised Carlos!! But the others no. Many a lost evening and party listening and dancing to Santana back in the day, sigh I feel old already!! Was my birthday last week and I feel about eighty!

Being on the other side of the globe I think my body thinks it is standing on its head, and my neck is aching something chronic, need a good chiropractor or masseuse

Glen, sheet I thought it was hot enough here, but 113 that's disgusting, I think I would die, we had stinking weather for two weeks when we first arrived in MD but it has at least gone back to "normal" in the high 80-90 range which is okay by me, but the humidity sucks.

Dave, sorry to hear that you are feeling down, but sometimes you just have to let go and start again, find something that you can do to bring in a little. Only whilst you sort it, at least if the bills are getting paid you will feel better, you don't have to love it, just pay the bills. It's very hard to find something you like doing that someone will pay you for.

Me I am sitting around on a working holiday ATM, hubby working and my holidaying, at least until I get some reserve days funded here in the USA, through Aust Air Force. I am gainfully underemployed atm, still have some days from back in Oz that I am working with remotely, but not working too hard.

Our house back in Oz has been vacant since we left, but hopefully this week we might have a tenant moving in, so at least the mortgage will pay for itself, and that is a load of our wallet, paying for the house here, the biggest midgets apartment and our vacant house was starting to eat into the future cars (dreaming) budget. Would like to take a lovely older mustang home to Oz, and maybe a nice old Porsche to add to the growing family of German cars at home.

If we own a car for 12 months here (less than 30 years old) there is no import duty applicable, 30 year old cars don't atract du anyway. The rumour mill says that the 2014 mustang will be able to be ordered rhd first time every direct from the factory. If the house is rented I can start dreaming anyway!

A friend of mine had a right hand drive Fiat convertible. We loved to drive down the highway with him driving and me holding a steering wheel acting like I was trying to get the steering wheel back on some invisible steering column. For some reason it made folks in others cars nervous.

I just noticed that this thread has passed 1,000,000 views. It is a long way from the over 9 million random pics thread but it does have more actual posts!
