Arguments, agreements, pissing each other off, making up, I have really enjoyed my time here with all of you. No matter what we believe as individuals we are all in the same boat here, we are all human and just trying to live our lives. At one time we were all members of a tribe and 100% dependent on each other to survive from day to day. No matter what we are still that way whether we wish to accept it or not. United we stand, divided we fall. We are divided, so what comes next?

I may bounce in and out now and then but Oct. and Nov. are my finals so I need to study, the holidays, work is picking up as well so I am going to be a very busy guy for awhile. I will be back though, unless I die of course. Looking forward to it.

Much divides; however, much unites us. Hopefully it is the latter which will be the predominant part.

As I am a huge busybody, do not be surprised to see a nagging PM about grades, etc.

Be well and blessed.

I will add your nags to the rest lol. I have a 3.98 GPA though and will graduate with honors (second in my class) so not too much to nag about (except being first). I will be enrolling come spring for my MBA at UW Madison. I am the only one of six children to go to college, and as of Dec. I will hold four degrees. No rest for the weary.

When my cousin, who I absolutely love beyond compare, was working on his Master's, I was constantly about the grades. He had a 3.7. At his graduation, he introduced me to his advisor as his nagging conscience. The Professor was all about it is so nice meeting your wife. He laughed and told him no, just his cousin. His wife cracked up laughing.

After four degrees, :roll: :lol:, have you finally figured out what you want to do? The choices are so vast these days.

Yes, I have around $175,000 that I have saved over the last 23 years, a VA loan available for $60,000, and excellent credit that could amount to around another $120,000 with my home and land as collateral. I am going to open my own business. I have been a writer/researcher for over 20 years, I have a very dedicated client base that will go with me, and they have many very wealthy friends who are waiting for me to go private so they can hire me. They can not do so now. That is my plan.

Aha! I have always believed research is king, queen, prince and princess. I am abysmal at technology so not as proficient as many in research. As you may have noticed, I am a real grinch on writing. Research is a necessary commodity in these times.

If you tell me your VA tuition is based on the Marine Corps, I may have to slam my head into a wall. We already have a horde of locust in Marines and several in TX.

Well slam away. I am a marine. My service record remains classified so I can not say much about it. I was a recon specialist assigned to Naval Intelligence.

As I shortly ago took 500mg of pain meds for my jaw, now is an appropriate time for head slamming. At least, there will be no dents in the wall as we have plaster walls.

You will be missed, LoneGhost! Less OPP, less stress! :lol:

Best of luck to and yours, along with the same for studies!

Hope to see you down the road, friend. :thumbup: :mrgreen:

Being a Jarhead from the VietNam era, I would say, that "Marine Intelligence" would be a oxymoron! :mrgreen:

Hold off on the head slamming, until I get there! :wink:

Your comment about OPP Marines warrant punishment!

Did you check the time? It was 2:50AM. You missed it. Ask Ziva if she would slam someone's head into a wall. :mrgreen: :twisted: :idea:
