  1. I guess my question would be why don't the other govt agencies do the same? Well, actually they are all looking at re-vamping their pay/benefit/retirement including the military ( I received a .pdf in an email a few days ago from one of my former officers, but it's too large to upload here). Here's an article: http://www.moaa.org/action/lac_issues/lac_issues_update/action_update_110624.htm Found the .pdf: http://www.msthub.com/forum/showthread.php?3604-Modernizing-Military-Retirement-%28Defense-Business-Board%29 Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  3. Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too No. Cause the rest of it goes like this...

  4. Well, I just talked to Billy Bob a few minutes ago and he said he doesn't give a shit since he doesn't own one of them computer dings, donchya know. On a more serious side, I am so glad I got out of IT 8 years ago.... I'm glad for the training, knowledge and certifications from the experience, but being tied to a server or programming at 2:00 AM in a little cubie was so outside my personality. And, what the others have said it true... pick your time and your terms while you have the revenue stream. It may even be time to reinvent yourself and take the time to really pursue another passion. If that passion remains in IT (well, God bless you for that)... but another area, another level, another path? good luck.

  5. Thank you, Jerry. I was assuming mid-60's based on the gear and the buildings at Ft. Hood. Keith Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  8. You've known her long enough to know that she's only going to fan the flames of pathos, logos and ethos and deftly move in between each one like an artistic fencing match; until such time there's a sidestep, thrust and parry, and little buzzer sound with a pause to end the drama with no real winner since no real blood was drawn. How's that for a run on sentence? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  9. OK... I understand now. Where is it? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  10. Why are you hollering at me. I haven't even discussed anything with you and if you're going to holler at me; at least post a quote from one of my threads, so I have some kind of frame of reference regarding what we're discussing (or hollering about). Thank you very much. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  11. 1. I oughta get a couple of skydiving buddies from Tulsa and meet you up there next year. 2. I have been that up, close and personal with a plane crash like that and them folks in the front row that did not move back when they were told have zero clue as to what kind of explosion they almost witnessed thru their assholes.

  12. OK and with Michelle Bachmann vowing to "lock out the EPA employees and turn out the lights," I'm thinking that I'd really like to see you and her in some kind of cage match. My money would of course be on you, but it'd be a helluva fight. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  17. Wow, I thought since the Norwegian Government owned the majority of it's oil and banking industries they must be socialist. Government provided healthcare for all must not count either. I guess since they also have the largest amount of cash in the world on hand for the retirement of it's citizens doesn't count either. I won't even mention they have the most generous welfare system in Europe. And the right says that since Obama became president that we have become socialist, that's priceless http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Norway Thou shalt read more than the first couple of lines of Wiki to begin the journey of ism enlightenment. I love how people point to the Nordic Model and say, "See, Socialism works" when it is not "Socialism." If you throw certain aspects or economic bullet points; then by your surface-skimming definitions, the US can be considered socialist because we pay taxes to fund our education system. Welfare in Sweden and Norway don't even have the same definition as it does in the US. One has to look at the whole pie (system), not pick the pieces that validate their argument (welfare, healthcare, etc.) Read a book and stop espousing what others' say. Are you saying most of the conservatives in this country dont know a fucking thing about what a real socialist government looks like..... oh the irony.... And liberals also.

  20. Why yes...yes I do! It never ceases to amaze me how friggin stupid some people are. The last time I was in Jasper Park in Canudah..EH... I saw urban idiots with cameras stalking up to within 15 feet of Bullwinkle till a ranger came along and shooed said morons along andgave them a stern talking to about leaving him alone. Rocky was nowhere to be seen at the time. Luckily Bullwinkle was more interested in munching down on his favorite plants at the time.. instead of using his rather LARGE set of antlers to let urban idiot know whose turf it really was. See, now leave them alone... otherwise, I got nothing to watch on RealTV "Stupid of the Day" whatever show. I think I'm addicted to that channel. Ya know, Deers kicking the shit outta some guy, Alligators grabbing Billy Bob the PROFESSIONAL alligator wrestler's hand, chimpanzees tearing up the police mobile...

  21. Wow Jeanne.. talk about ya making this easy for me. Edit: OK... I just can't let this go. Think Secretariat. This is gonna hurt; isn't it? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  22. Personally, I would never own a money sucking diesel again. My current fifth wheel puller vehicle is a 2003 Dodge 3500 Dually Gas While its only got 60k miles on it... I've been looking for a quad cab (the dually is a single cab and great for the lining up the ball on my horse trailer style hitch). The new Dodge 1500 has a significantly increased payload and towing capacity. Here's the hyperlinks to the spec sheet: http://www.dodge.com/bodybuilder/2011/docs/ram/rammlup1500.pdf Let us know what you settle on...
