If dollars are a scarce resource, then they're more valuable than if they're plentiful.

;D ;D

Is THAT the reason they are SO valuable at our house?? Cause they sure aren't plentiful

;D ;D

Adequate yes, plentiful, no. But then they never have been and we've done well.

Hello everyone,  I'm sorry to be a pain in the....  I  am still concerned about making  at least "some" $ out there.  What do you think about bartending ?  I've done a fair amt. of that although I really prefer the other side of the bar of course.

Once I feel more confident about this I can relax a bit.

BTW  If anyone is in the Tarpon Springs area of Florida we have had some great sailing days lately havn't we ?

Besides you can pull into the dock and have some souvlaki and maybe ouzo !!!

Anyway, has anyone had the experience of bartending in the islands ?  I gotta know....Thanks,Jerry
Now..............bring me that horizon

This week, my daughter, age 6, earned her first "professional" boat project money.

A dude at the marina needed her to access a small space to clean it out.  He COULD do it, but decided it would be quicker and easier for her, so...

She earned $2 to do it for him.  Not bad for a few minutes worth of work.

Goes to show...you got to play to your strengths.  One of her strengths at present is her small size.  She used it to advantage.

Good Luck, Not much work out there. What there is does not pay well.

Learn to work in a bar.

Good luck.
