He’ll move on. He wants to be a fire fighter, the problem is he will need to lose 100 pounds before that happens. :)
On target. My working days are done, thank GOD. Now I can do the little stuff I do for the Lord and my family. Health stops a lot of stuff, but when I have a good day, I do try and get something accomplished, even if it is just Pocket Prayer quilts, I use as witness cards. Made a 100 for the pastor when he does hospital visits. Or calls on new people. More personal than a business card. They have a note card with a prayer and the church’s address.
You’re still working... differently.
Your experience has been mine as well GOPster. My mother for instance believes that most people are inherently good, she’s never had an enemy in her whole 67 years, But she does admit they are getting worse as time goes by...I, on the other hand have not had such good interactions with other people. From the time I was young. Heck, an example I can relate that popped into my mind...When I was a relatively new driver at 18 I was going down the road and must have cut this guy off or something...I don’t even know what it was...but as he drove past he called me a “F’ing C**t” thing is I recognized him from the church I had gone to with my parents up until a year prior. At another point some guy rear-ended me and got out of his car angry and calling me all kinds of names. My father even went to the police station to complain and it turns out the guy was a fireman in town. Last year there was an incident where I and a guy were both at fault, I turned my car around to apologize to him for my part in it, he ignored me and made threatening motions, proceeded to get my plate and called the cops (one of who came into the building I was at, and he LIED to them, not admitting his part, stating that I screamed at him and HE felt threatened.
I do not trust people. Too many have wronged me. Too many I’ve encountered have been liars, vindictive, mean, or plain crazy.
There you go: Multiple examples of societal decay.
And isn’t not going to get better. Brace yourself as much as you can and avoid dealings with “them” as much as you can.
And remember those that have wronged you.
“Revenge is a dish best served cold.”
Yeah, and I like it, I can do things at my pace. Which for the past 3 yrs has been snail slow, with to many days and nights spent in the recliner in pain. I have Meniere’s and fall easy. Bruised my entire AB wall and ribs, so that pain has been slow to heal. Then the back from Hades to add to it along with some other crap that they can only treat symptoms, and the drugs are worse than the symptoms.
But did stumble on to a great Osteoarthritis NSAID, I pay for it as ES will only do a 1 time 5 day 20 pill script. I have a feeling it got the black box FDA because it is fairly cheap when compared to the pricey OA drugs. $40 per 60 tabs 10 mg Toredol generic version I take i AM/PM I can now walk the grocery store instead of using one of those stupidly built electric carts.
I can buy the IV level being hard on veins. But that little 10 mg is a wonder drug. I’ve reacted bad to all OA drugs. No reactions to this one and I react to a lot of meds. OA pain in hips, shoulder are gone, back is down 75% in just 2.5 weeks. Still have the spine damage that only surgery will fix, and with my DX score that ain’t gonna happen.
Type 2 diabetic diet does wonders for weight loss, and cholesterol lowering, just ditch the high sugar fruits.
If he is not willing to work hard for you, he won’t as a fire fighter either. Health issues will start to set in real soon if he is that much over weight. To much time eating, tv, vid games, not enough physical activity.
I have to count every calorie as I am not able to be very physical, to much un fixable spine damage.
