jumpinjack00 You're absolutely correct about no job security anymore, anywhere. Not only the U.S. Unless you're highly trained in a skill based profession or indispensable because of your knowledge base almost everyone is replaceable.
As far as your path is concerned, I...

jumpinjack00 Oh June. Not a favorite of mine either. Growing up in the U.S. and now living in the Philippines, the "hot months" have always been my nemesis. I made the best of it as a youth by spending as much time as possible in the water of a pool or at the shore...

jumpinjack00 I agree. I think retrofitting older (retired airplanes) into a hostel/hotel is an excellent idea. I've read about a few around the world but have not had the chance to stay in one yet. Would love to try one someday. People would be surprised at how many...

jumpinjack00 I've always been a real book kinda fella until a few years ago when I abruptly stopped reading books. The main reason being a huge life change. I've spent so much time reading and researching everything on my computer. Over these past several years 5 percent...

jumpinjack00 Ah reading. Feeding the mind. It's never been so much fun to overeat. My first remembered experience with reading is choosing to stuff myself with several short stories by Edgar Allen Poe when I was around seven or eight. I don't remember the stories that day,...

jumpinjack00 It appears you have so much to look forward to once you finally get to work. It seems that the dirty word is, commute. I wonder how easy our Monday's will be once they finally invent a (Star Trek transporter) teleportation machine. Imagine beaming directly to...

jumpinjack00 Your rationale makes perfect sense for what you described. If we are true to our hearts, each couple knows our role in everyday life. When/if we're lucky enough to reach our golden years, by that time, we know who would fare better without the other when that...

jumpinjack00 For me, I found the best way to commit and stick with something is to find reasons important to you for doing what you do. Believe that you are making a difference in your life. Set goals to obtain. Look for the final reward for what you commit to. It always...

jumpinjack00 Ah the age old question. To myLot or not to myLot. And do Facebook to save face with those I really know and am not just "friends" with. I enjoy the deeper and broader discussions I typically respond to here on myLot. We all have our share of knowledge which...

jumpinjack00 That has been awhile. I recently returned as well. Seems like all is about the same. Some excellent and not so excellent discussions but always entertaining. I wonder how big myLot is these days. It appears some of the responses say it's a bit slow currently....

jumpinjack00 Wow awesome! I visited Japan around the same time you and your family were there. Small world. I'm amazed at just how beautiful and clean Japan is. I'm enamored by the openness and friendliness of the Japanese people. I also saw just a handful of cherry...

jumpinjack00 I won't go into detail but when I'm really stuffed because of allergies or a cold, I reach for my neti pot. You just have to research it yourself because I don't want to initially turn you off by it. Believe me it works wonders after you get past how it...
