Missed this until the necro. Pretty gutsy post there Mark. I'm sorry to hear all the hard luck you've had but I wouldn't patronize you with any pity for a second. You probably have it worse than I do. But you've still achieved more & earned more respect in your chosen arena than I ever will. You get nothing but respect here, bro.

Gutsy would be telling everyone I currently work at Wal-Mart collecting shopping carts from 10 pm to 7 am....
...but even I am not gutsy enough to tell that one.
Yes, its true."Out of every hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back." -- Hericletus, circa 500 BC -

Honest work, and there's nothing wrong with it. You have all my respect and more for what you've disclosed in this thread and, for the efforts you've gone too to help a fellow Judoka and human being.

We got a saying in French, "il n'y a point de sot métier". Translating more or less as "there's no bad/stupid line of (legal) work". Originally Posted by Mtripp

Still got me beat. I'm an unemployment statistic. No decent person would judge your character by your income bracket.Gutsy would be telling everyone I currently work at Wal-Mart collecting shopping carts from 10 pm to 7 am....

Yes, its true.
MA exellence doesn't promise much in the way of financial rewards & folks know that going in. Good thing too. If it did we'd have 100 times as many Dillmans & La Tourettes out there. -

You have no idea the level of insult I have to endure when "working the door."
But, it is what it is...."Out of every hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back." -- Hericletus, circa 500 BC
