I never got past chapter 5.
Few seemed to care and the book was such a downer. Like fuuuuck I get it, but it just wasn't how I wanted to spend my nights home with the fam.
I kinda just crapped out on executing the idea. I was hoping robust discussion would keep me interested, but my interest fizzled out quick.
Fren, I'm on a big upswing.lots of ins outs and what have you's. But I truly feel like I can glimpse over the precipice and it's going to be fine. My job's improving quickly. The business we started when my job sucked is starting to gain traction too.
I think everything is going to turn at the last second. Things are going well for me because I've already learned to deal with less than most can stand. Heck we were just talking today, with the nice raise I just got we could have running water next year maybe. It's been 8 years without. Imma be ok as I observe folks loose their minds. Food in the pantry, meat on the hoof, milk in the udder.
I'm thinking the signs are positive. At least they all are in my little corner of the world.
The other option is that I've been on a list for 12+years, pI'm already dead, and the how and why will take me totally by surprise.
Which path forward do you want to spend all day pondering? Life isn't about staying here forever anyway is it?
I'm too busy trying to build the new that I'm hardly noticing the old crumble.
Because to me it's already gone. I drove away from that world a decade ago. It's all Kabuki remember? None of it really effects us unless we allow it to.
As far as the book goes, I really with the vendor had sent the copy I ordered. I got the full in the mail. So I tried the book on tape. I'd get bored, distracted, whatever and stop listening. Get to the end of the chapter and realize I'd missed every word.
Ended up seeming silly to keep going like that.
Feel free to steal the format and pick a new book. I'm down with participating more than organizing at this point.
It was a good idea. People did seem to like the idea even if the actual activity ended up kinda sucking.
I basically have three jobs right now. Not even counting the crap I'm falling behind on at home. I rarely have time to anon like I used to. Distractions are necessary? Work is distracting me nicely right now as this shit show plays to it's inevitable conclusion.
Thanks for reaching out btw. You were the only one who even tried. Sorry if I let you down.
Our oldest just turned 18. We homeschooled him since third grade when we pulled him from school when we discovered he was functionally illiterate despite straight As
He will never be a doctor, lawyer or engineer. Everyone came to terms with that going in.
Please allow a proud papa to brag a teeny bit.
Did I mention he already owns ten acres he earned free and clear? He has a knife making business. A wood splitting buisness, a danged sawmill for Pete's sake.
Kid makes as much as me doing his 9-4 Wants to build an off grid cabin. He'll probably get his done before I finish mine too.
I'd say it will turn out well for him long run. Strong morals, stoic disposition. Calm. Kind. Strong as an ox. Animal lover. Keen judge of character.
College isn't the be all end all. It's time to put that myth to bed. Learning how to work and solve problems and read people and make decisions is all they really need.
A whole lot of our sons education came via conversations while helping me shovel and build stuff. He has all the math I've ever needed. He can live without calculus. He still hasn't ever had a smart phone.
What can your kid do with their education? No malice of tone though it probably reads rudely without vocal inflections. But seriously, what have they been taught to actually do?
We didn't really see many normie kids when he was growing up, I have no baseline grasp of what a "normal" kid would be. Most folks we knew either had grown kids or also homeschooled/unschooled.
I've hunches, but I don't actually know.
My advice would be not to waste a dime on college. Help them learn to adult, then let them find their own path. Few end up doing what they go to school for.
