At some point in 2008, I had over $100K balance on the credit cards. This is
on top of the max out business line of credit.

Yea, I made mistakes and I was stupid. Learned that lesson.

Instead of buying 4 S2s, they went to pay the contractors that I couldn't
shut the projects down fast enough because the economy tanked.

I turned off the heat in Jan 2009.

I cashed out the meager retirement money to pay bills and mortgage.

I sold Leica.

I would have sold blood.

I even looked at the life insurance policy, briefly.

With hard work and some luck and good planning earlier, we recovered. When
you don't have to pay 14% interest on $100K, it feels good.

This is why your "if you sell gears, you are sh*t" attitude is so
distasteful.

I am unsubing for a few days. This gets my blood boiling.

I don't expect people to like my photo, I don't expect people to agree with
everything I say, I don't expect saloon people to be friends, per se.

Just not twisting a knife in the back would be fine. Thank you.
