If that was going to be a problem, I would just as soon get that out of the way early.

While money is nice, I don't have fond memories of getting paid.

GeorgeRocheleau comments on Mar 17, 2018:

When my wife was sick, most of my friends drifted away. I don't blame them, I just wasn't there. After she passed I knew I needed to be around people, so I joined several Meetup groups (meetup.com) engaged in different things for my various interests. Things like digital photography, independent film, or just social groups. The idea was not immediate romance, instead I was looking for people that I shared common interests with. Eventually some relationships have formed, and we have some interests in common.

GeorgeRocheleau comments on Mar 14, 2018:

There was a period when I accidently locked my TV into the DVD only mode.

After a year of putting it off, I realized I didn't care. More recently I got a Blueray player and had to replce the TV, because my old TV didn't work with the new player. I have TV again, but I still don't watch it.
