    Yes. I was pleasantly surprised to learn 6 paid holidays plus vacation accruals. They do have medical but its pretty expensive. Oh and 401k too.

    Thanks. You know what though, it's like the old story about the baker who received accolades for his bread, but what about the flour miller, the farmer, the rain, the sun and the one who ultimately makes it all possible anyways.

    I've tried to present my experiences on TTR in such a way that someone might, in some way, benefit from it.

    I often miss the mark in my intentions...

    I do apologize if I've been an early distraction on your new thread.

    It wouldn't be the same without you. I enjoyed the exchange. Made me smile. Its like hanging with friends. We say what we want because we can.

    While I'm sitting here at home in front of the boob tube, I gotta say, business, careers, making money, etc, isn't all that it seems to be. The older I get, the more aware I am of my own mortality.

    My family, my wife of 40 years this Sunday, my 5 children and 12 grandchildren are all I ultimately have in this life.

    Chasing miles and the elusive financial goal (whatever that means) ain't all it's cracked up to be in the long run anyways.

    Wow that's kinda weird , why on earth do they stick dildos on you and make you do the Macarena.
    Seems like they would have you do some other dance with those stuck on you.
