    This is getting ridiculous... I want my robot back

      My grandfather told me today that he plans to live to "around 120...I think I have a good chance of making it."

      He's 86 and a picture of health. Here's hoping he makes it.

      He once told me that he wanted to be hanged at 100 for rape, that was before he became Mormon. Easy, Rosebud; he's reformed.

          I feel your pain. I get my wife back tomorrow, after two weeks in the desert. I'm excited, to say the least.

                They must be doing ok, if they can afford to pay James Taylor and Adam Sandler to perform at their corporate parties.

                      Yeah, there can be a lot of pressure when it comes to posting your own tweets. You're wise to steer clear of these kinds of leadership roles.

                          Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                            No, thanks. I'm busy starting my own. I like leadership roles.

I translated a divorce decree from Argentina today for my cousin and it took me four hours. I don't mind helping family; I'm not complaining about helping him, but lately a large number of people have sent me emails with attachments, assuming that I have time to translate government documents for them. Helping kin is what you do, but helping friends of friends is different, yet I still do it, usually.
                                This could be a whole other thread on doing business with people you know/friends/church members.

                                I do free work for family and happily. Haven't had to do too much of that though. I sometimes do free work for church members but in truth that is more marketing than anything else. I have only once have a church member really press me hard to do something for free, most of the time people go out of their way to say that they want to pay. Of course, some of them back up when they learn about the cost.
