toms65 I'd rather have the job I love. Even if it's just enough to pay the bills, I won't have that worry and I won't have the stress of a job I hate. I've had too many of those jobs and some were pretty good pay but I was very unhappy and it was way too stressful.

toms65 Good for you on the weight loss! As far as your shoulder is concerned you might want to get that checked out. If the pain does not go away after a few days it may not be a problem with your muscles. Definitely look into modifying your workout until you know...

toms65 No doubt that it won't be long before they are back to their old ways. It's too profitable for them to resist. It's going to be up to people to take control of their own finances more than ever before.

toms65 I guess that maybe electing our first African American president doesn't seem like such a diverse thing, what with him following our first mentally handicapped president.
