What I just described IS an education! -

I'll get my "education" from more credible sources thanks.

Yes, dear. I'm sure your son is a stalwart Canadian just bursting with manly virtues.

Let's put it this way, he's in enough demand to keep him busy.

Let's put it this way, he's in enough demand to keep him busy.

Bursting with manly virtues'll do that.

So he's different from everybody else in the patch because.....

It looks like there's hope for you yet, I'd get right on it and thoroughly study it!

Sorry....I have a tendency to skim...especially when people start telling me how special their kids are. You know, considering how many people's kids are special, I have to believe that the greatest generation wasn't really the greatest. They were just the warm up.

Who said he was special? I was just citing an example how someone in YOUR generation (who is so hard done by) can go out and earn a decent living. (without snivelling) -

Considering you still owe 100k on a property worth 200k after a lifetime of working, you really shouldn't be calling anybody else hard done by.

Not that it has anything to do with anything, people mortgage their house to make other investments! You also forgot to say "$200 k over and above the $100 k owing. None of that isn't really any of your f**king business anyway. I'm not in a race with the Joneses, as you appear to be! -

Thats good to hear. The Joneses are liars and cheats.

Maybe but more than likely very insecure!

 

[petros]

Oh dear. What a strong argument for education.

Educated gets you $1350+ per diem of $200 per day in the patch.

For engineers?

 

[petros]

For engineers?

Them too.

 

[JLM]

Them too.

Yep, there's money out there for those who have the gumption to go after it. But there's two ways of prospering - earning more or spending less!

Far too many piss their opportunity to set themselves up down a urinal.
