option A is feasible so long as the money earned is more than needed to cover your costs (whether business or personal)....if it's not, then might as well choose option B...gonna end up in the same place, just a matter of when you are going to arrive there, and how hard you'll work to get there....

You really should become a politician with the slanted spin you can put on things.

That just about sums it up for me. Pick your battles, it's a chess match.

nope. don't dance to tony robbins... friend of mine taught firewalking seminars
for a number of years. he taught me. it's not a difficult technique. he used to
charge $100 for the workshop, but nobody was turned away for lack of funds.
like he says at the beginning of the evening.... "i coulda done that too" does
not cut it here... you either do it, or you don't. pretty much like life.
as for getting creamed, you *did* come in here to play, y'know....
there are some pretty cool people subscribed here, and some misfits.
just like the rest of the planet... here, however i beleive there is an "ignore"
option on the forum controls, that blocks you from having to read any
thing from someone you don't care for.... however, it doesn't work for
blocking moderators..... :smile:
i do get a chuckle out of reading stuff here.... on one hand, people snarling
loudly about cheapskate customers, and on the other hand, driving heavily
loaded vehicles on bald tires, while assuring all who read how well they are
doing with their business model.....
one guy will say he just nabbed a contract for $200k, someone else will moan
that he's just small potatoes, someone else will say $200k is just a decent
change order....
and i'm guessing by this time saturday night, more of it is authored by bud,
jack, and johnnie than anyone else..... :roll:
me, and my big plans for financial glory? i spent the day with my wife, and
we didn't do much of anything at all. just hung out together. a quiet life, and
time well spent.

That's what I have been saying the whole time.
By the way, I am sitting in front of the tv right now. There is a news report on about how most of the restaurants are lowering their prices becuase sales are down. Yet McDonalds sales are way up.
Based on the responses in this forum by the experts....
Those restaurant owners are fools they should raise their prices because they are better than McDonalds. Sure nobody will be eating there but let's not worry about reality, let's just keep our fantasy alive.

Of course they are cheaper tires, but they do the job and I was able to pay other bills that needed to be paid. I also haggled on the price as I have done for other things lately. It works.

The truck I bought yesterday has nitrogen filled tires, with tire pressure sensors.What gas station has free nitrogen?
One of the new dealership add ons you can't dispute.

I would sure like to see you consider stopping at 2. The world population is growing so fast that we will soon be at some predictions as to the limits of population the earth can support.

I agree. Actually it seems to me that we have already passed the brink.

I bet your assault rifles make you feel special........:wink:
Breathe in, breathe out. Out west here, I can drive for two hours in some of the areas here and not see another person. Doom and gloomers, this time to will pass!
About the tires? My neighbor tells me to go to shop x, mention my name and getting a good deal, problems solved. I didn't even shop the cost of tires, because I actualy trust my neighbor. Paid $178 for two tires, mounted, and ready to rock, at recommended store for tires for my runabout little Saturn.
At 90 MPH rolling down the freeway, the last thing I want to be concerned with is -"Gee, did I get good tires?"
On the other side of the coin, when I get taken for an ugly ride, I will be your worst nightmare.

That's because they "Love" what they do.
It makes them feel good that they busted their butt so hard, for so little, while the customer was out boating with their family. If they hadn't given them such a great price they might not have been able to pay for the gas and would've had to stay home.
