Your other "facts" were wrong too.

LOLOLLOLOLLOL

They're not MY facts. I posted the links to everything, even your irrelevant facts about 2024 salaries which you just posted again which is SALARIED not HOURLY.

Which one are you claiming? You were a salaried worker or an hourly wage worker?

Oh boohoo, somebody call the fucking whaaa mbulance
I’ve blocked just a couple window lickers that can’t take a hint from our resident sommelier of cellulite @Dirty D

The irony is that these soulless muppets lack any self-awareness to consider they’ve earned a spot on my very short shit list. In other words, if you think i may have blocked you: congrats, you’re not.
 
I was born in 1956.....graduated HS and started running heavy equipment (Operating Engineers), but decided that wasn't a career move. Started a career, got married, looked at houses and was amazed at the $$$ for what we were getting. SO, I decided to build my own house, figuring I could get twice, or triple the house, for the same amount of $$$. Found some property, designed and drew the blue prints up, and started building. Remember, I was working 40-50 hrs/week AND building a house on my weekends. Decided to save $$$ by building the garage first and setting it up like a studio....we lived in that 3+ yrs while I finished the 1st floor. We moved into the house (1st floor) while I finished the 2nd floor. 2150 sq. ft, split level....I did everything but the sheetrock/texturing and the cabinets. Got it totally finished 7 yrs later. The reason for this story? AFTER I finished the house, several guys I worked with commented on how nice it was to 'have money' to afford something like what I was living in, conveniently forgetting I BUILT it! Told them to go fuck themselves. They said I was an asshole! No one decided to do it my way.....they just wanted to bellyache, bitch, moan, whine, complain about NOT having what I had.

My point.....
 
It's my birthday so my wife bought me scallops for dinner because she knows it's my favorite. Of course she doesn't know how to cook them and cannot be trusted around cast iron or carbon steel pans so here I am cooking my own birthday dinner. Apple pie for dessert.

Sounds like my wife. Don’t even let her look at the cast iron pans.

There will always be "those guy's". It will always be about your nice truck, boat, rifle, fishing rod, etc.
Never become "those guy's".... It shows class.
