I've had my own issues. Although, my issues were based on health :( My 2Jun18 stroke caught me in a major reimplementation of my data center and it took almost 18 months before I could operate a screw driver again.. Don't stop, don't quit, keep driving on ;) Wed, 13 May 2020 19:57:33 +0000 http://www.sunsetgrillcomic.com/index.php?comic=20190709#IDComment1090070631 http://www.sunsetgrillcomic.com/index.php?comic=20180109#IDComment1056528073 Welcome back Kat ;) I am really glad to hear that you are well.

Were she anymore disliked, she'd be dead already.

So, where the hell she is, cher? ;) Yeah, I still see Zeke as a tall, green, Cajun ;) Actually, I see all the low-towners as Cajuns. BTW, don't worry about it. There never has been a restart without hick-ups ;) They happen, the main thing is to not quit ;) Tue, 29 Aug 2017 05:56:05 +0000 http://www.sunsetgrillcomic.com/index.php?comic=20170829#IDComment1048780838 http://www.sunsetgrillcomic.com/index.php?comic=20170801#IDComment1047611205 Welcome back Kat ;-) :-D X-D Thu, 3 Aug 2017 06:24:43 +0000 http://www.sunsetgrillcomic.com/index.php?comic=20170801#IDComment1047611205 http://www.sunsetgrillcomic.com/index.php?comic=20170621#IDComment1047515841 And threrein lies the problem with flying cars. It's a Dunn-Kruger problem, those who are incompetent are sufficiently incompetent to realise their own incompetence. The problem is that, flying is sufficiently taxing, of competence, to eliminate 60-80% of humans from being licenced pilots. Add to that a sufficiently crowded air-space and even your hyper-competent pilots will become overwhelmed. I submit that, even with fully competent auto pilots and controls, accidents cannot be avoided and accidents carry severe penalties, regarding loss-of-life, property damage, etc. The problem with flying cars is the competency requirement of the pilots; less than 5% of the population would qualify.

Think of 1.5 million air traffic commuters in Los Angeles alone; the city that defines road rage. Then consider the other major cities following suit.

As long as you're good, we're good ;) Yes, I am currently learning DAZ Studio so I can make my own book covers and website. James Roden has been helping there. Like you, I am currently going through planning and market evaluations; trying to scale the effort to something sustainable ;) I might recommend some additional considerations for you; apply that same sustainability exercise to your efforts towards the business as well. Although, you are probably doing just that ;) Sun, 11 Jun 2017 23:46:10 +0000 http://www.sunsetgrillcomic.com/index.php?comic=20170328#IDComment1045016983 http://www.sunsetgrillcomic.com/index.php?comic=20170328#IDComment1045016828 Contributions to NATO are in a huge part dependent on the member country's defense budget. No one has a larger defense budget than the US and Republicans have been grousing about the size of the bill for years. Put that together with Trump's promise that, if NATO is attacked, the US will not be there, and the EU has to re-evaluate their defense posture.

Thu, 1 Jun 2017 13:19:46 +0000 http://www.sunsetgrillcomic.com/index.php?comic=20170328#IDComment1044492952 http://www.sunsetgrillcomic.com/index.php?comic=20170328#IDComment1044427658 After last week's dalliance in Europe, by Trump, I must say that there isn't a single European leader that wants a close association with America any longer. Trump refuses to both, pay US's NATO bill and commit to the NATO treaty agreements. It will take some time but, expect Europe to demand removal of US bases from European soil and European defense expenditures to increase radically. If Trump really tries to move against German auto makers then expect a trade war, starting with the closure of every European auto plant in the US (there are a lot more of those than people think), and severe tariffs on all American made goods. Europe is much better positioned for such a trade war than the US is. Even if Trump is immediately impeached, it will be a long time before the US-Europe relationship recovers.

I've filed for retirement so I can get at least some of my money back before they manage to wipe out Social Security. My wife just hit her 50th. Yes, she is much younger than me. Europe is watching the US with grave concern, They are also preparing NATO for an American exit. Globally, the world is bracing for an American economic collapse. The question is, if it is accompanied by WWIII.

Kat, doing all of this while operating a business is already stressful. I have never been able to do that. Operating a business is usually a 100 hours per week deal especially, if it's growing. Then you have the new kid, which is it's own "reward". My sympathies to you and yes, I've been there. You appear to be at the center of a shit-storm. However, remember that there is indeed a world beyond the curtain-wall of the storm. Yes, it includes other storm centers, individuals with their own shit-storms. That may or may not be a comfort to you. Regardless of how the aftermath of the FUBAR election turns out, learn from it. What that says about our fellow Americans is fundamental and is only something that we can change as a collective. However, charity begins at home so therefore, work on your own life first. If you need to remain a pancake for a bit longer, please do so if it will let you heal and become stronger. Get your legs under you. When you can stand again, I will be here along with many others. We will try to lend you what strengths we can. Find your center of strength but, I suspect that you have already done so. You now need to build the wrapper around it. Take the time and do it right. We will be here. Your main audience are not children and we have mostly all been there ourselves. We understand. I say this while claiming my social security benefits, as a retiree, while in Switzerland. BTW, I really like the mech spider on the rock beside you, nice. I just got Daz Studio, which I wish to discuss with you later, after I get my second book out.

He's more worried that he's pissed off Murdoch somehow. Yeah, I know Lena and Murdoch parted ways but those things don't always stick so good, non? Especially true if it was a non-anger induced parting, which is exactly what it was. It may have been all "Adult" and all but that's precisely when things don't really end as expected. There is always the issue of lingering feelings and doubts about the decision.
