Thanks. I actually get a kick out of even being slightly considered a part of the academia family. In truth, teaching those classes was fun and rewarding. If I hadn't been so interested in the buck, I think I would have really enjoyed teaching college.

I assume you're set now....why not quit and do it full time....Teach for America could certainly use someone like you.Originally posted by byu71 View PostThanks.

I am old and I unhumbly really think my current clients need me. I also fear for my childrens retirement, so I am now saving for their retirement.Originally posted by wuapinmon View PostI assume you're set now....why not quit and do it full time....Teach for America could certainly use someone like you.
Lastly, indications of how set I am have been greatly exaggerated. I admit I have played a role in that on the chance a "trophy girlfriend" might be lurking on the boards.

I am living life. I really do think my clients need me. More than a few of them are in their 70's and 80's and wouldn't know who to trust. Not to get to flattering of myself, but a few of them have asked with concern if I plan on retiring very soon.Originally posted by wuapinmon View PostThe cemeteries are filled with indispensable people.

The kids are a real concern for me. However, I consider you thinking I could do something you suggested as sincere praise. Thanks.
Now let's get back to ripping on each other.

Naw....I've had gallbladder pain all day so I've let loose on Hallelujah, Johnny Lingo, and that irksome falawful. There's nothing to rip on you today that SeattleUte hasn't already devastated you with, so go take some Metamucil and your statins, and I'll see you tomorrow.Originally posted by byu71 View PostI am living life.

I hope everyone notices that I have been supervising my mouth product today. I keep thinking, "is this going to offend KatyLied?" because I truly don't want to (no sarcasm)."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action.

I mean, of course I won't lend you my ears. I'm not a donor."Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

Amazing how one's political views change once people graduate from college and get a good job.Originally posted by CardiacCoug View PostI was in the College Democrats at BYU and helped organize a talk by an NAACP leader while there.
Since graduating from BYU, I have become progressively more politically conservative. Big government sucks.
