i know many on here have so many things going on with life in general, so with that said, what's currently on everyone's mind at the moment? it could be detail or non-detail oriented. maybe you want to get something off your chest...

personally, i've been doing alot of swimming and have been taking it more seriously lately (it's definitely requires strength and endurance and is like getting cardio and light weight resistance all in one). i've learned to do the butterfly, and backstroke pretty well over the last few months and have been trying to nail down (been doing alot of research) solid technique. seeing that michael phelps (have alot of respect for swimmers, it's very demanding) is back on track again, he has motivated me (video below was just recent hours ago i believe, click again if black screen comes up) from the beginning to swim in the first place. looks like 2012 will be his last olympics, and i wish him the best!

Im currently wondering what the long term side effects are for an AutoGeek addiction?!?!?! Too much of anything has a negative side effect, and I can't currently pass the computer without checking the forum. Can I accidentally pass this addiction to my children? They see me on here alot and I don't want to ruin their lives :( Is AG's goal to eventually build a rehab facility and profit from their forum?!?!!? I don't know what to do guys - I get depressed when I have had just a little time away from the forum..... things start to get blurry and I get major headaches. As soon as I login, all blurriness and headaches fade and a smile appears. Anyone else have this issue?!?!?!:dunno:
 
I wish Detail Fest would hurry up and get here. That's what's on my mind. Im the MAN

i'm sure your not alone my friend... :(
 
Posted this on my Facebook wall the other day. It's hard watching a beloved pet get old. My dog Roscoe is 13 years old. He is completely deaf, slow, has trouble "holding it in", and is generally losing touch with what is going on around him. Gonna miss him terribly when he leaves me - I've had him since I was 10 years old, so I've pretty much grown up with this dog. We got him as a stray dog just wandering the neighborhood we lived in at the time, and he's the best friend I've ever had. When I lose him, I suspect I will lose a part of myself.

 
On a serious note -

I have kid number 5 on the way..... betterhalf will be out of work soon..... so I am feeling a financial burden weighing me down here. B & B has been doing great and I was going to use this year to rapidly grow if possible. BUT, I got a phone call the other day offering a salary position managing an aircraft detailing company at nights. This is tempting because it will more than pick up any slack lost by my betterhalf leaving work..... but is it possible for me to work at nights and run B & B during the day?!?!?! I am currently making more with B & B and am only 9 months old..... but an extra "guaranteed" income would be a nice addition. Do I take the night gig and salary and continue B & B during the day with little sleep daily, or do I say forget the position and continue growing B & B this year?!?!?! This is what is currently on my mind......
 
Sorry to hear that cierasl. I know how that is.

B&b good luck with that decision.

I was only thinking about either laying here, make a sandwich, grab some crown royal reserve, and playing call of duty, or getting on my mountain bike and going for a ride.

However, you folks got me thinking deep now. Now I am sitting here thinking about the 4 job opps I just got this weekend with the army, or staying where I am at. Register.g to decide what will work the best with my fiance and I. Damn. Thanks guys.

I really wanted that sandwich and crown.

shane, i can relate and know how you feel. we had (my sister's dog) a cocker spaniel that lived to be 14 years old and then he got bronchitis, the vet told us we had to put him to sleep otherwise he was going to choke and die. being at the vet the day of we had to put him to sleep, me and my sister played with him in the front grass before having to do so. it was very hard and one of the most painful things i've been through. couple years later my sister passed (it will be 3 years this march 23rd) and dealing with that also, i just can't put into words (not a day goes by that i don't think of her). when we laid my sister to rest, i was able to put her dog (he was cremated and put in a special wooden box) in the casket with her...
 
I've been thinking about work, school, and personal life! I work 40 hours a week, go to school 10 hours a week, and spend 4 hours on homework every week. I pay for everything - car insurance, gas, credit cards, cell phone, computer payments, school, etc... So much on my mind I feel like my brain is going to implode on itself. The better side of it all is that I met a great friend and her and I are really hitting things off, so thats whats always on my mind!

try and do both! having a guaranteed salary position, and doing your detailing business on the side would be solid income. congrats on the new one coming... :dblthumb2:
 
Very sorry for your sister lose Al. Very hard to lose someone close to you. My aunt was taken away from us when her cancer took over. And every time we get together it doesn't feel the same.

I was lucky enough to have find my wonderful dog from a flee market shelter. And he is my best friend, someone who will never do you wrong knowingly. Then we just adopted another puppy and its amazing how good they are together.

My older one is 5 and I don't even want to think about the time we have to put him to sleep. I love my dogs.

I appreciate it man.... I would consider the salary position being on the side though lol.... I've got 3 employees right now with B & B and I am hoping they can hold the reigns while I rest the first part of the morning and I show up towards the middle of the jobs. I am hoping this will work - but we all know how that stuff goes!

I have a Siberian Husky at home named Sami that I've had since I was in 2nd grade. I'm now a Junior in college, and she is quickly starting to slip. She doesn't like to be around people anymore and snapped at me for the first time in her life the last time I was home. We got her when she was 13 or 14 weeks old. Gets me pretty good just thinking about getting the call that she had to go in.
 
When is winter going to END???

Shane, I have the same in my near future...why can't they live as long as us?

205 on a white pad will eliminate the haze.
 
Shane - that's really rough. It's really hard to deal with when a dog gets older. It's been awhile since I had to deal with it, but I had a dog growing up, just a mutt my parents picked up for me at the pound. I got her when I was 5. She was 14 when we had to put her down. She also couldn't hold it in anymore, couldn't see or hear, and she couldn't walk up or down the stairs. It was really sad and just thinking about it now gets my upset. It's never an easy thing to do.

As for things on my mind....My mother's house, which I've been at for the past week on top of working my 40 hour a week job and going to be at for at least the next 2 or 3 weeks before she can actually move in.

I hate my current job where I sit at a desk all day. And I mean I despise it! It makes it extremely hard to come into work every day and be productive at all. Working in the corporate world (for those of you who don't know) your just another number. I use to be the supervisor of the group I work in now and I stepped down back in August due to the stress and extremely long work days. Plus sitting in meetings for 4-6 hours a day etc. It's just not what I wanted. Anyway, I get my review two weeks ago and they gave me a does not meet and no raise! After everything I did for this group (and I did a TON!). The new manager doesn't like me because I don't kiss his butt enough. It's just a really bad situation.

I am really wanting to just quit this job and take my part-time detailing to a full time gig, but with a $300k mortgage over my head makes it really hard to justify. I can't guarantee that I can pay my mortgage and bills. So, I'm stuck for right now.
 
I'm wondering whose gonna swing by Alabama and pick me up for Detail Fest !
