Too much work, too few vacations...













Jared and I went for a bike ride tonight, even though our outside thermometer said it was about 90 degrees. It was well worth it after a long, boring day at work. We rode down this beautiful country road in Fairfield - Upper Ridge Road. The ride out was quite tough - very hilly. However, on the way back into town, it was mostly downhill. It was GREAT! The breeze, the scenery, the smell of cow manure... It couldn't get any better. It made me think about how often we don't stop and take time for fun things.


After work Dad and I met at Grandmom and Grandpop's tonight to move furniture out of the dining room. Grandpop is renting Grandmom a hospital bed for the 1st floor since their bedroom is on the 2nd floor and we're not sure how she will do with steps. After we got done clearing out the dining room, we were just talking about, of all things, work. Things are crazy busy at the Office of Information Technology in state government, and Dad is doing the work of like five people. He is the best computer programmer ever!!! He is one of the hardest workers that I know. Sometimes he works too hard. Like now. And also the past 28 years that I've been alive. However, I know how he feels. It's the call of responsibility, plus an addiction to stress. But again, how important is this 'work'? Important enough to not take time to ride your bike down a country road for an hour, or to actually request a vacation and go somewhere WITHOUT your pager or computer? Our society moves too fast! If you're not busy all of the time, you're obviously doing something wrong. But I should talk... Jared and I have numerous messages on our answering maching that begin, "you guys are never home..."


Well people, I could go on, but then I'd sound like Jared.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.
