    I'm putting the age at 45 +/- a few years.

    Crongrats on the career change Bret Hart :thumbs:
    Yes I've counseled employees , at the time coworkers, on Personal hygiene or worse why its not acceptable to chit your pants and subsequently drag the SBD down the control room through the hallway past the Business tech's cubicle or why a toothbrush is required to be within 6' of you to have a conversation:hair:

    Apparently, y'all both left the big PM for Scotty Overkill's saw this time last year, when Clem famously let his dysfunctional autocorrect essence out for all to read.... and so "It" was born.:whistle::rofl: :lol::wacky:


    Sorry, but I have to get your thread back on the rails Bret Hart- glad you're able to make a new start!:handshake:

    Page 18 of the Surprise Saw conversation......
    IMG_0006.jpg

    Nearly as soon as I "replied" and underlined/ bold'd the offending autocorrect, he went back and cleaned it up, which appears above my response.....
    True story.....many can verify :thumbs:

    Just an update about the new job. :D

    Been cleaning and organizing for a week now and all is going great. No stress, BS, or drama at all and my phone doesn't ring in the middle of the night anymore for something that surely could have waited until sunrise.

    Very happy with the decision to change jobs. :cheers:

    OK I am not criticizing but I like to be clear when it come to finance... retirement is NOT a function of AGE...

    it's a Function of money... meaning if you had unlimited money ... your not working your playing... it is ok to get paid to play;).

    I'm clear on that too. I have no intentions of working much past 55 because I have to. I might if I want to.
