Re Good Morning everyone. Fell to sleep on the couch last night. Then got up & went to bed around 11 pm. Then I was up at 1:45 am for about 2 hrs. Before I tried to go back to sleep again. Now its 9:20 amd I guess I'm up for the rest of the day. Going to finish waxing the Monte this morning after coffee. I got this NEW wax from wally world from Mequiar's called nXt. Got that and some window cleaner also interior clearner, and spray wax for around $ 14.00. So i might as well use it while the weather is still a little cool. 83 today for a high. got down to 55 last night. ok shower to wake up and then coffee. More later.

Hi `Keane,
I can relate to bad/poor teachers & college professor's.
The BeachBum's & I were all home-schooled by my grandfather & his senior citizen friends & when I enrolled in community college it was a farce..Majority of the time the Prof's didn't show `up or were late. Then when they did get there, they would just tell us to read from our books or put on a vid

I finished the courses that I took & had a average 4.0 & then enrolled @ University of Phoenix & got my degree in Business...I always had a job while I was in school...I started helping my grandfather as soon as I could walk...I was his go-fer...Go 4 this & go 4 that...LOL..I've always been able to find work...Maybe jobs I did not like, but I always found a way to make a honest $ in life..

(It was not easy, but I worked hard & had super Prof's & help) I could study @ my own pace & I went Turbo/SuperCharged through the courses It does take a lot of discipline to set you pace, but I had great mentors & support 4-Sure. It has helped me a lot & I'm now the manager of several warehouses...

It's not what I want to do 4-ever, but it's great $'s + I'm helping my g/f get through Med School & helping other seniors in need of my assistance...I hope to have my own business in my future...

You have many options...There are many choices out there in tech schools & colleges...You should explore when you get bored at where you are and what you are doing Good Luck.

I would love to move up where i currently work, but moving up in this company is a tough task. Hardest part is getting from part time to full time. Im choosing to take it a bit easier at school only doing 4 classes per semester. Its a good balance between school and work. Might take a little longer to finish school, but better to get done on a comfortable load level than to be constantly maxed out.

Hi `Keane, I was taught that; that nothing good in this life is easy 4-Sure...My grandfather was right...It's not easy
I've always had to give `up to get, & never had a `free ride.
I wish you the very best on your `journey of life, but you are the driver & the one that must work & plan out your trip on where you want to `go..."Dream `it, Plan `it, Act `it"...

Sometimes you get on the wrong road & have to turn around & start again...(& hopefully you learned the lessons of not returning to the bad roads in life) I don't think I will every stop learning (I don't want to) ~> I have to many dreams that I'm working on, and doing my best to put them in2 action...

The key is to Not Give `Up & keep on Driving to get to where you want to `be 4-Sure....Wish you Good Luck & resolve...
