Sacrificing family time at older age.. why u?

I'm a positive and full of nonsense type.
Germanic absurdism...
Like I'd tell anyone: Do a year OTR if you must. Then hunt local.

I left a well paying gig in social services, I've a BA in Human Psych, a Grad Certificate as a Mental Health Rehab Counselor...... For my own mental health: I almost have to work alone. That's why I drive.

Luck to ya.

 

When my dad turned 69, we took him to the veterinarian and had him put down...

...er, wait... I misunderstood the title of the thread. Nevermind.

 

I don't expect or want to endure the continous losses in old age. A relative is starting to get to where we put her into a nursing home. And frankly the quality of the homes in my area leave alot to be desired.

 

Something i had forgot to mention...original plan was to buy property and build a house out of reclaimed materials, however, things have changed since...both our moms are getting up there, hers sooner than mine and we need a house to take care of them...if that means driving a bit longer, then so be it...I couldnt imagine them being in a nursing home...not my style...

 

Tora Tora Tora is all well in good in form of ambition to make a million dollars by lunch and securitize everything to triple it by dinner.

But that Tiger Tiger Tiger turns into a hairball mewing in abject fear and cowardice when confronted with say... Trollstigen in Europe or perhaps.... Loveland in a winter storm with it's huge drop off. Then we will learn if the poor newbie has what it takes to push through and earn that big money.

 

There is a great deal of loss, waste and spun wheels (Money) because of no informtaion or a desire to blindly charge ahead off the cliff because they cannot wait for the fence rails to be delivered.

I have been horrified at some of the lost motion in trucking. Some made for good stories though so there is that.
