I think you are misunderstanding what Elkrun and myself are trying to say here. (As I understand it anyway - that "Inflection" thing can be difficult")

My take on what has been posted to TM is that we do have respect for his career, but want to make sure he understands where others who choose different careers are coming from.

I felt like TM's attitude kida sucked when I first read his post.

TM - I wasn't stating your father couldn't retire on his savings, I was really relating back to my both my grandfathers health after their careers ended.

I am sorry to hear about your industrial accident. Your work ethic will likely land you a good job once you done with school. Hope you like it more than you think you will.

I am not a teacher, but I do see how hard teachers work, and I think the kids in PA are lucky to have a guy with an attitude like elkrun's.

AuntyM - I am now sure you totally misunderstood what I was trying to say, and maybe you still do. I have enjoyed reading your posts on other threads, so I'm sure my wording didn't covey my message well.

Elkrun, Now I'm being to civilized. We'll find out I guess in a few more posts.
