Six, it's nice for US to hear it. It's always great when a Browncoat becomes happy in life. I wish your luck & determination on us all!
Kudos, man.

And to you and yours as well Chris....

It's truly a different plane of existence when you reach this apex.

The "rich" people... hell... even my parents hate the way I live and expect much more from me...

Meh...

I'm cool....

Sure... I could do with being a little more cooler, but overall, things are more shiny than they've been in almost a decade.

"F" the "REAL" real world.....

I'm happy.

I knew what I was doing at my job, and I got Six-Sigma'd....

There are over 10 million idiots working Government jobs who I could run circles around.

So I think you have to either have a job and then lose it, or you have to enjoy living in poverty in order to qualify.

Well, as usual, well said Anthony! It's fascinating how righties can generalize that there must be TONS of people out there who enjoy living in poverty so are happy to take money to do so. I wish there were a way to find out exactly what proportion of people receiving some kind of safety net "enjoyed" living the way they do while on that safety net. ...not that it would make one whit of impact on them, their view of the world is really sad.

I love how people who know nothing of others can judge them so easily and completely, and probably feel perfectly self-satisfied in what they believe (when in reality all they're doing is parroting talking points created to dupe the public long before they were born).

Ahhh, just saw his latest. Yup, people who get FOOD STAMPS sure must enjoy being poor enough to GET food stamps...you betcha! Yummy! (Do you think he understands at all HOW poor one must be to get food stamps, and that food stamps aren't "money"? Probably not, huh...)

But lots of folks get checks from the govt for not working

Delete! Delete! Factually incorrect..."lots' of folks don't get "checks" for "NOT working"...(oops, that'll go right over his head too, won't it?)

Sorry, all my quatloos are over leveraged right now (new dress for the Queens Gala), but I am curious: do you show your work anywhere, like officially for sale?

I sell a couple of works now & then on eBay, occasionally people see my stuff on the modeling websites & ask me to do something for 'em, like the Lost In Space Robot I'm making for a dude right now...

Really just hate that "Righties" stuff you cutely throw out there.

It's childish and you're just looking for a fight.

I don't ever start my post about "lefties"....

You're both dickheads....
