I've got so much packing to do this week and so much **** to get together. A lot of clothes to wash and get things in order. I tried to get most of my business stuff done last week, but it takes a lot of planning and **** to go on vacation for a month.
I've got so much clothes, necessities, etc. to get together in the next few days that I'm about to go crazy. These people need to leave me alone. Grrrrrr.

Just imagine if you had to wake up and drive to work every day.
But I ain't hating, just a little jealous. Today makes 7 in a row for me and I still got a few more to go. Working for a living sucks!

I did wake up and drive to work every day, 7 days a week, 12-16 hours a day in a sweltering hot 120 degree textile mill where I jogged my *** off back and forth, running a machine. I know exactly what its like. But I scraped by on pennies, saving every dime I earned to invest in other stuff, I did without a lot of things for a long time, and by things I mean cable tv, eating out, cell phones, fancy houses, fancy cars every years, etc.

The computer thing is one of the reasons that the country is in such bad physical shape. Its made people transition from some bit of physical labor to sitting all day, which is one of the worst things you can do for your body.
After tax season I felt absolutely awful. 4 months of sitting behind a computer for 16-18 hours a day, leaning over to read numbers, eating whatever you can find whenever you can. If I never have another season like that, it'll be too soon.
As for the academia discussion, it really depends on what field they study as to whether its contributing to society or not. English, history, philosophy...not so much. But the sciences, engineering, and even business contribute majorly. They may not be creating the final product you see, but it's their initial research that gives the builders of the final product the ideas. Research doesn't always pay off, but it's a necessary part of the process.

The church people kept protesting in front of the titty bar so the strippers started protesting topless in front of the church.

http://www.coshoctontribune.com/stor...ight/15386165/ The church people kept protesting in front of the titty bar so the strippers started protesting topless in front of the church. My wife's deceased uncle opened a bar in our little town here back in the 70's. Fine no big deal. Just a bar with drink no dancers or anything. Well the city had an ordinance that no bar could exist within 500' of a church's front door the way I understood it. Well he was fine. No churches. Until they built a church next door. The city then shuts him down. But he was there first. Didn't matter the ordinance wasn't written in a way that protected the bar from unwanted churches. He lost his liquor license and tried to stay open as a club where you bring your own and he would sell the rest but that didn't work at all and he was closed within a month. He went on to eventually manage a mob casino in the 80s in Vegas. The Frontier. A decade later he was found dead at a mcdonalds drive thru in Yuma Arizona. Shot in the back of the head.
He was an interesting fellow to say the least. Had a wife and no kids as a Vice President of Frito-Lay in Dallas. Got bit by the gambling bug. Lost his 58 Vette in a poker game along with a lot of other things. Won a WSOP bracelet in Vegas with a $1M jackpot. Pissed it all away. Incredibly intelligent and horribly addicted.

You can't have a bar or even a store that sells alcohol within 100 yards of a church or any of their buildings and 200 yards from any school.
I never understood the whole gambling thing, especially getting addicted to it. Gambling never did anything for me, I've never even had any desire to go to Vegas.

I don't either
Being smart and understanding odds and knowing I myself have no skill or advantage sitting down reading a table full of poker players makes me stingy. I don't gamble. My gambling is every day at work on real estate and investment. I have no desire to throw it away on silly games of chance where I'm the sucker.
Thankfully my father beat that into me as a kid.
My parents inherited a set of plastic chips somehow and one day when I was in third grade my much older brothers and I decided to play. They spotted me a couple of bucks and by the end of the game with their friends and I, I was up $20. My dad walks in from work and sees us around the table and you could hear a pin drop. He took all my money gave it back to the other boys and took the chips and threw them in the trash outside. I would have been fine if I hadn't gotten so mad at him for 'stealing' my money. When I said that I'd gone too far and he whipped me like AP after a 3 fumble game. And my brothers too for facilitating. From that moment in my life I never ever gambled of any sort. Until I played keno once at a casino in Vegas at 18 years old and got busted. From that moment I really never gambled again.
