    I have two questions for you (borrowing from family)

    Good points. Two things to add. I used the three dollar example to show how, even $100K, would have been mere pocket change for her parents. No big deal to them. That changes the story a lot. I've bought meals for people I didn't know, and would never see again. No big deal. This was not...

    If you abandoned your kids, that's okay. Me too. Worthless fathers abound. But for a multi-millionaire to deny his own kids? What excuse is there for that? It's all relative. Bill Gates lending me (not giving) a mill is no big thing. Shit, he gives away more than that on a weekly basis...

    So we all choose to ignore Jobs leaving his ex and DAUGHTER destitute? It's documented history folks. I know you don't like it. Neither do I. But I guess it's soooo much easier to lean on me. Be careful - your true character is showing through... Same for Jerry Lewis leaving his ex and SIX...

    Socialist? Now there's a world record-setting leap! There's a grand canyon difference between helping your brother and wanting to take all your money and dispense it to the general population. Paranoid much? I have YET to meet the person that did everything all on their own. Everyone had a...

    Do you really WANT a relationship with someone that is going to feel "burned" that you borrowed 50K and things didn't work out, so you couldn't pay them back on time? (I'm talking about the guy that has ten mill - not the average dude). Who the F*ck needs some greedy bastard like THAT? Their...

    Not surprised to hear that for some reason... Of course, it was my fault. But like I said - money can't buy character. If she hadn't tossed me away after sucking away every dime I had, like the spoiled brat child she is, we might have been fine. Her Dad, after all, did write the check for...

    This is an extremely sad thread for me to read. I once had a fiance whose parents were multi-millionaires. She lost her job. I worked my a$$ off to pay the bills but ultimately couldn't do all of them. Almost drove me to kill myself trying to stay afloat. She wouldn't ask dear daddy for any...

    Ok - I'll be "that" guy. Can you fill me in on why a company would want an app made especially for them? I see lots and lots of apps out there. Why wouldn't one of the ones already in use work for them? This is a new area - hope you can bring me up to speed on this, as I know nothing about...

    New laundry business idea - Why wouldn't it work?

    IDEA 
    Better for find this out now, rather than later. Hate the idea. You are picking one of two things that are super easy to do. One is heating something up in a microwave. Push a few buttons and you're done. The other is using a washing machine. Push a few buttons and you're done. Maybe...

    Companies are entities, and hide behind human resources. They have no soul.

    Thank you for pointing out the facts. I was going to look this up and quote it as well, but you saved me the trouble. Multiple. Skin. Grafts. Inner thighs. Kind of a tender area. Those are the facts. What you don't know is that the little snot nosed punk teenagers that served that coffee...

    OK - you're super strong in engineering. That's the HARD part, so you are in a great position. But marketing? Man, that is the easy part. Send out samples to have a video made? Do you have a smart phone that can do video? Ok - then go here: Easy Online Video Maker and make a great video...

    I actually just saw a movie about this too. Upside, with Kevin Hart. You HAVE to see that movie. It was so well done - and very honest - that it blew my wife and I away.

    I know a woman that does this for private clientele. And she's extremely good at it, and proud of what she does. Her clients greatly appreciate her, and she KNOWS she is providing a very valuable service. Some people ARE cut out for this job, and would thrive in it. Don't be so quick to...

    You, my friend, are a very compassionate and wise person. You added insight here that was new and refreshing. My preformed opinions prevented me from thinking about this as deeply as you have. I have learned a valuable lesson from you today. Thank you for a superb post!

    Believe it or not, in that simple post, you have helped me see things more clearly and bring closure to some of them. Your advice is dead on, and powerful. Sometimes we don't need an entire book to learn how to "manage" something. Sometimes straight forward profound wisdom is just the right...

    ^^^ This. This is great advice at the "core" of great advice. If you DON'T take hold and lead, it will be something that will make you look weak, and I assure you that you will regret it the rest of your life. NEVER allow someone to control you so that your actions change to fit what they...

    Oh no. Is today 2/3/19? The day of the super bowl? Damn I missed it again. I miss it every single year. I did go to the grocery store though. Great deals on the comfort foods most of us like for the big game. And the store was almost completely empty. Bonus there. Oh well - there's...

    You're the same guy that tracked me through multiple threads, upset that I asked a vague question and then said "never mind." Would you say going postal and becoming being a stalker is an emotion? HEY - just kidding! I do the same thing all the time!

    Well, you're right, to a degree. But then again, this young generation is going to have to grow a hide so every little thing doesn't seem like trauma. The issue with everyone's response here is that we've all been 23. We know, in the big picture, it's a one, on a scale of one to ten in life...
