Product Specialist for an ad agency on an automotive account. My tongue-in-cheek title is "Resident Gearhead." For whatever reason, they think I am some sort of car expert. In any event, love the job (most of the time) and happy I fell in something where I enjoy the subject matter.
Build a huge garage - start filling it with cars and bikes. Then I'd see about buying us a new president...and find some other noble things to do with the money...
There's a lot of good thinking here. I particularly like the idea of thinking one's way out of a hole.
I stopped drinking about five years ago. I was pretty depressed from time-to-time, and alcohol was my crutch. Being a depressant in of itself, it was hardly an elegant solution. I still have depressive episodes now and then (oddly, I often attribute this to my location), but I am much better in handling them now.
I still smoke - picked it up maybe ten years ago - that's next on the docket, but I'd be fooling myself if I thought it was going to be easy.
Most of my anxiety seems to come at work - it's a pretty high-stress job. I remind myself it's a job I have had 21 years now - there's not much I cannot handle at this juncture.
I read Cat's post with great interest - we are very alike with regard to a compulsive behavior of a clean place. I'd probably make someone a damn fine housewife one day
Phishing is seeking personal information under the facade of something that looks official (phony account update requests, warnings, etc.) I think eBay is probably one of the worst "phishing holes" if you will. During and after I sold a car recently, the scams just kept coming.
Four years ago, I moved out here for work. It was my choice, and it was good for the career and all, but now I question that decision.
That being said, I might move for the right significant other - but there are other factors of course, like employment. Let's just assume she does not want me around the house all day long...
We are a very litigious society - that would, I suspect, be the reason for the opposition here. Of course your situation warrants some form of compensation.
On the subject of litigation, I'm a motorcyclist. I've read that in most cases more than half the cost of the helmet is due to liability. I remember a woman sued Bell Helmets - her son got drunk, got on a bike and killed himself. He was wearing a Bell that was not even strapped on. The mother got millions. Sigh.

RE: You Are Worthy!
Thank you for this. I was quietly contemplating life and found this quite timely.
