Carteach0 wants himself a treats, he does..... Gun show tomorrow!

.
I have been working bloody hard, doing long hours, and busting my butt. Being no better than any little boy, this has built up a serious "I want me a TREAT" attitude.

Being a working type person, and not a welfare sucking handout king, any treat I get will be right behind the stack of hard earned cash I give up for it. That said.... there is a gun show at my club tomorrow! In fact, there are two or three good gun shows within driving distance this weekend.

I wants meself a treat.... and don't know what it is yet. Maybe a new 1911? Perhaps an AR platform to be like the kewl kids? Hmm.... another Glock, and that would make me a 'collector'. The possibilities are endless, and the reality is I usually walk the shows without finding anything that excites me enough to get off that hard earned cash.

Besides.... the heating oil tank needs filling, the car needs some parts, and the bills are beginning to find this new address of ours. That weighs the balance beam enough to make the small boy in me cry from frustration.

Maybe just an old shotgun then.... or a .22 (g).

"Do not confuse "duty" with what other people expect of you; they are utterly different. Duty is a debt you owe to yourself to fulfill obligations you have assumed voluntarily. Paying that debt can entail anything from years of patient work to instant willingness to die. Difficult it may be, but the reward is self-respect.

But there is no reward at all for doing what other people expect of you, and to do so is not merely difficult, but impossible. It is easier to deal with a footpad than it is with the leech who wants "just a few minutes of your time, please — this won't take long." Time is your total capital, and the minutes of your life are painfully few. If you allow yourself to fall into the vice of agreeing to such requests, they quickly snowball to the point where these parasites will use up 100 percent of your time — and squawk for more!
So learn to say No — and to be rude about it when necessary.
Otherwise you will not have time to carry out your duty, or to do your own work, and certainly no time for love and happiness. The termites will nibble away your life and leave none of it for you.

(This rule does not mean that you must not do a favor for a friend, or even a stranger. But let the choice be yours. Don't do it because it is "expected" of you.)"
