You guys seem awful sue happy. So he got a little nip, big deal. He said himself he's all healed up.

I was talking to a lawyer from Mass. at the bar in Las Vegas a couple years ago. He was telling me don't even walk up to a door and ask directions if you ever make it up north...those people will sue you for anything. That being said, I considered suing some HO's myself when their dog bit the hell out of me about 15 years ago.
 
Not fer nothing, but exfuvkingsactly. This country is going to hell in a hand basket. Just cuz others are doing it constantly don't make it right.

Actually, these days, if a beagle came at me I would fall down screaming and try to make the most of it. Its the American Way!

And that was a little more than a nip Kenjax got. I would be trying to retire.
 
I got attacked by a pit last summer. I learned her, and her owner, went to the hospital got cleaned up and went about my business. Are there certain scenarios where gross negligence deserves financial compensation? Yes. This wasn't one of them. Even the hospital was trying to get me to dime on the dog and owner. Just politely declined and went on my way

What I never could understand is why some ******* trains their dog to bite anybody that comes around and then ask someone in the service business to come to their house for whatever reason and then acts surprised when the dog bites them. Or is in some area they know you may have to enter and the dog bites them. I have been bit twice, the first time by a chow 25 years ago and the second time by a doberman mix 15 years ago.
 
We had two on the way to school when we were kids. Owner never sugar coated it. You kids will die if you ever jump my fence. We never tested the idea. Fuq that ****.

how about BEING old?

hey every one will get there some day...some sooner than later lol

alternative sucks tho

You ain't old yet (lol). The day you slow down and admit to yourself that you're not the raping momma's in the ass kinda turbo ninja that you know you are, well, that's the beginning of the end IMO. Just saying.
 
I realized that my wife and her two kids REALLY don't like me working sun up till sun down six days a week trying to successfully run my business. She was crying while we were talking with her aunt. I'm not around enough for everyone she feels like a second priority to my business. It takes a lot of time to be the employee, mechanic, book keeper, estimator and such. Lots of fun. I always take Sunday off no phone calls at all. It's been really busy this last week or so trying to catch up with the work load from the previous week and a half of rain. I guess I am a work a haulic. I love how things have been going business wise but the personal life has really suffered. Any tips about how to make this work without ruining my family life? Or do I have to sell everything and work a miserable 8 to 5 job again?

I was listening to a guy on the radio who was selling sales training. The gist of what he was saying was to focus on those activities that you need to make money. The rest you can "eliminate, simplify, delegate, automate".

Maybe in your case you can hire out the bookkeeping. You can get a book keeper to come in 4 hrs a week for about $25/hr and do all the things you do AP/AR/payroll etc way faster and more efficient.

Same with a mechanic, bring in an independent mechanic as required.

Of course if you don't want to be a husband or father, you're well on your way. I went back to being an employee, minimal stress, time for other things in my life I find important (volunteering, coaching my kids, Scout leader, kayaking). I don't make as much money, but I think I have a better quality of life than my boss.
