The Big Cat Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 But I can understand why you don't get that. You want things handed to people. Yes, I've been very explicit about that.
IDBillzFan Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I meant the part about not having a life outside a business, as one could easily infer by the quote. But as far as I can tell, the doom upon his business, family, heirs, humanity, et al remains speculative at this point. . You couldn't have misunderstood my comment more if you had Bishop and Conner helping you think.
The Big Cat Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 You couldn't have misunderstood my comment more if you had Bishop and Conner helping you think. My business is my life. It's everything I have. Then these must be the simplest hardest to interpret sentences ever written. You're right, I guess it's my fault.
Chef Jim Posted December 12, 2009 Author Posted December 12, 2009 Then these must be the simplest hardest to interpret sentences ever written. You're right, I guess it's my fault. Yeah, still not getting it but once again I'm not surprised. Words of advice for you. Never, ever attempt to start your own business, you'll fail miserably.
The Big Cat Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Yeah, still not getting it but once again I'm not surprised. Words of advice for you. Never, ever attempt to start your own business, you'll fail miserably. Please stop doing my thinking for me. You keep failing, miserably. I !@#$ing get it. My father is a business owner, I get it. But my father never once proclaimed that his entire life, family, et al hung in the balance of his own pessimistic speculation. Why? Because a.) he doesn't have partisan trigger finger and b.) because he has a perspective on life that doesn't box him in to his bottom line. The fact that anyone would make such a resounding statement given the above factors is a tremendous bummer. In fact, it's sad.
Nanker Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I had an automated voice mail from Glenn Nye - My Congress Guy I dunno what he wanted. I got as far as hearing that it was message from my Congress critter Glenn Nye before hitting delete He looks like a pedophile.

He's just offering you a word of advice. Nice to hear of your dad's success. It's insulated you from a lot. Get back to us in twenty years when you've been out on your own and let us know how you're doing. It'll be interesting to hear, I'm sure - especially if you don't join your dad's business.

The Big Cat Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 He never said his dad was a success. Way to be the bigger man. You can lob your pathetic insults at me all day long, but keep my parents out of it. My dad has been wonderfully successful and while I've never met you, your habit for message board chest thumping leads me to believe he's twice the man you'll ever be. Nice life.

My dad has been wonderfully successful and while I've never met you, your habit for message board chest thumping leads me to believe he's twice the man you'll ever be. Nice life. That's great news regarding your dad, I love success stories. But I bet if you ask him how much his business is/was on his mind he'll probably say 24/7. Ask him how much time he spent worrying how the complex tax laws would affect his daily operation he'd probably tell you constantly. My dad was also a very successful small business owner and I know these things consumed him and I don't mean that in a bad way. That's what drives entrepreneurs to be successful. And that's what LA was talking about. I still bet my dad could beat up yours.
Bishop Hedd Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Where are the lefties here gimmie a break! About 90 percent of the topics here are utter horseshit, far right talking points gleaned from Newsmax or World net daily. It runs from the usual far right global warming hoax nonsense to the mindnumbing and inane criticism of Obama...day after day after phucking day. Christ you guys were fortunate enough to have me come along and interrupt your jack session a couple days ago with the funniest thread since the original Palin post. Face it...like most far right conservatives you really don't want to hear anything to upend your save little insular worldview. That's why this board is so goddam boring now.

It's everything I have." Let's stop the back-tracking now, please.

That's why I don't even bother to engage in any debate- it is like banging your head against a brick wall and getting it all bloodied; quite pointless indeed. NOW they complain that everyone left... hmmm I wonder WHY? Who honestly wants to waste their time being insulted and be called all sorts of names just to provide a counter to a bevy of extremely slanted talking points from biased sources? Not me... and then they question if you are real? A laugh indeed.

It's everything I have." Let's stop the back-tracking now, please. So now you've sunk to my dad can beat up your dad? And don't even think to say I started it because in case you didn't notice the little devil smilie my remark was a joke.

Let's stop the back-tracking now, please. Do you understand the difference between "on my mind 24/7" and "is my life, it's everything I have"? Someday, when you grow up, you might understand what Chef's talking about. Doubt it, but you might...

As chef pointed out, that's why I continually included LA's quote So now you've sunk to my dad can beat up your dad? And don't even think to say I started it because in case you didn't notice the little devil smilie my remark was a joke. yep got the joke responded in similar tone

That was a mess as far as actual communication. Reading it felt like wading though mud.
