Well if I bottom dollar I will have 60k in pocket after the dust settles and just buy a small house free and clear and really not worry too much. Bust my hump for a couple more years, salt it back and walk away from the daily grind. Tucson was that start over, but to may things fell apart. So this time I am not going to reply on anybody else to help me get there. I am going to do it myself.
The hamster wheel has got to go

I have always had a lack of trust in Facebook. My password for them is unique to that one site and a real doozie no one can guess because it is gibberish and long.

I sliced my finger to the bone on a HS camping trip. Told one of my friends to cut a t-shirt of mine into strips, he nearly passed out and had to lie down.. Told another friend, he cut stupid little squares. So I took what was left of my shirt and cut the correct strips, bandaged my own hand and then walked over to the other site where the first aid supplies were. We thought everyone had gone up to the swimming hole, turns out my mom and another mom were there. They re-bandaged my hand with proper bandages and then I went off to the swimming hole to swim with the others. What's left of the scar is about 3/4" long. Almost sliced a tendon.

My worst wound was on my right little finger. I was changing the light bulb on the light fixture in my bedroom. It had one of the bent plate glass covers on it. I dropped the bulb and tried to grab it as it fell and ended up karate chopping that glass cover. It shattered and cut my finger to the bone. I looked at it and said to myself that is gonna bleed real bad. I applied pressure and found a 2.5 inch wide bandaid that was designed to cover skinned knees. I wrapped it as tight as possible and drove myself to the hospital since I was alone. If my finger was below my heart it throbbed a lot. If I held it up it was ok.

Now imagine a 914 with the rear window inched behind my head. I would shift and hold my hand up with my little finger wrapped in a skin colored bandaid. My wrist was sore and I would hold my hand up with a limp wrist with my little finger sticking out to the side. I got 5 stitches to close it up. There is virtually no scar.

The bathroom at home looked like a murder scene with blood everywhere. My roommate at the time came home while I was at the hospital. He was worried I had been attacked. This was in 1980 or so and cell phone had not been invented.

Why would you cut your own off because you are pissed at her?

I have no idea how that was supposed to work for either.

It was back in the 80's so there must have been drug use involved.

Actually, the Swedish had a mobile phone system in cars in the 1950's.

The first true "cell" phone came out in 1973...
