    I need the smell of napalm in the morning

    Although after my 2020 gap year I'm pretty fucking lazy right now

    Too much indica. Switch to sativa.

    Got scammed by a friend of a best friend for $5K on some leases in the Balkans. Brilliant move by the guy if shitting over everyone you know in your life for $10 million of leases that are going away now counts. I keep waiting to here about his impending suicide.

    So, that’s not bad a loss but it was completely shady but legal and I trusted a best friend on it.

    I was part of a startup that went public in 2004.
    ASAP after the IPO, I sold the stock as fast as legally possible.
    This move cost me more than I can imagine over the past 16 years.
    However, I have complete peace of mind and retired at 45.
    Since I'm lead a fairly conservative lifestyle I'm able to spend my time and money changing the lives of others.
    Essentially, I traded for lifestyle.

    Comment on this if you like. I'm always curious about such things.
    All opinions presented respectfully are always appreciated.

    I think that everyone misses once in a while but you figured it out.

    YOLO, so if it makes you happy do it and don’t look back.

    You also can’t get time back.

    I haven't looked back until someone asked me to.
    I told her to look back for me. Haven't heard back.

    I was 10 ...

    I'll just say that I traded 1 super iconic card for another super iconic card.

    The only thing that makes it reasonably close is that the condition of the card I traded wasn't as good as the one that I got back (as part of a sealed complete set) ...

    But there's virtually no chance that the Griffey Upper Deck rookie I got back will ever be as valuable as the card I traded/sold to get that set.
