I have friends who are prisoners of debt. 5th wheels,trucks ,jeeps,dirt bikes,harleys,quads credit cards etc etc....... Just one payment away from a living hell. I got out of the rat race years ago and live a much more fulfilled life on a 5th of what I used to make.

my neighbor is(was) like that.He just broke his neck.Now everything is up for sale and he hopes he can keep the house

I know right! I tried telling her so many ways she could make that money work for her...but no, she had to go and squander it all. I have made some good investments with the limited funds I scraped together as a working person and now people tell me I'm lucky...I'm not lucky at all..I'm just not going to give my money away to someone just cuz they show me something shinny. I read one time that money is congealed power and I think that's pretty accurate. I don't want to waste my power. That's not to say you can't have fun now and then...but you got to look and the big picture and see how much fun you can afford without paying for it forever.
I saw on discovery or one of those channels a doc. on some of the major lottery winners and do you know that about 75% of them are flat ass broke.....like really....what the F did you do with 200 million....really....thats just total insanity....I cant even begin to comprehend it.....it blows my mind!!!

I posted a comment on another thread a few days ago.....I said I had come to the point in my life where I just wanted to LIVE and be Happy...I want to unplug myself from all the bullshit...the rat race and just simplify.....It may have not sat well with some but I know where my boots have been.....I know what my eyes have seen....and this dude is DONE......

Did I ever mention my teeth are going? I've got some theories on what happened, but nothing I can prove. I brushed well and took good care of my teeth then one day when I started to brush them, it felt like they were on fire from the inside. It was the toothpaste, and I had never had this happen before and so far no one has been able to explain what happened or why, I personally think it's a form a fluorosis. Anyway, after that I just brushed with baking soda and water...then my teeth started breaking and chipping, for some reason my enamel had softened and has been coming off in chunks and flakes for some time now. So my mouth is pretty much a wreck at this point, because I have extreme dental anxiety and only go to a dentist when the pain is so bad I can't ignore it anymore. So you know, now I'm probably going to have to have them all removed soon and it sucks. And I get really sick of people assuming I didn't brush or floss or drank tons of soda and whatever else they think, I took care of my teeth but they're ruined anyway. I blame fluoride in the water.

Before you do anything go to your Dr and have a complete blood analysis done. If you are male you would be totally surprised at what you can have go wrong.Bone softening ??????Ect ect

I've had some stuff done, I have degenerative disc disease and osteoarthritis, too. Ok, maybe it's shitty genes.

Edit: I suppose it would be more surprising if I threw in that I'm 32, and these conditions are "to the degree you'd expect to see in someone about 65 or 70."

Hi Orithil, I'm going to pm you later on, I think I know what your issue is and I'll give you a detailed explanation but I don't have time right now...but my first guess would be acid reflux and if it is, you should have it treated. I'll have to ask you a few more question. I've been in dentistry for 20 years and I've worked with about 10 different dentist in that time. This has helped me gain different perspectives and I have seen what you're describing be misdiagnosed many times.

Would be fun, sitting and smoking with a couple politicians. G.W. Bush on the right (you know he's got the killer kind growing on that ranch in Texas, but be careful it doesn't snow on his stash!) Obama to the left of me (seriously ... Roof hits. Dude's serious about his buzz. "Of course I inhaled it! That was the point of smoking it!") ...
