Will this work instead? I have a cashier's check that my neighbor gave me for $4,000.00 USD from when I sold my car. It will be much easier if I can just send you that. Send me $3990 back in the form of a cashier's check or postal money order to my PO Box...that sound good? thanks.

Damn, I entered this one which means I'll have to vote and comment! I'm retired and can't find the time to do these justice on the voting and commenting end. I skipped the last mega challenge because of the numbers. Maybe I'll have to stick to Member Challenges.

I'm sorry, but this is a rather enigmatic statement. Could you please explain to someone employed (full-time and then some) what you mean?

(And I do understand that this is an incredible number of entries to work with, no matter what one's circumstances.)

Ah yes, strange statement only to those who have not yet retired. It is like the old expression (from retired folk) "I don't know how I found time to work .... "

Iâ��m hoping you get to understand someday. : )

Workin' on it. Used to be self-employed as a craftsperson (12 yrs). Life and work blended then. I really envy those who are "retired" as now you have all the time to do the things that really matter to you. I suppose, the trick is, finding the time to do the things that really matter to you.... (and perhaps, also, finding the things that really matter to you.)

Now that hits the nail right on the head, on both counts. Turns out being lucky enough to enjoy life makes you realize there are tons of things that now matter, things that maybe did not before or at least not enough.

edit: put on list of things to do, learn to edit before pushing enter. LOL
