Man, I LEFT a 75K a year job in the 90s (they wanted to pay for me to get my PhD in Biology so they could bump me UP to a researcher) to become a maid because I had the kid, and I was like, "There is no way I am going to miss out on this experience," so I just scrubbed houses and decided to get a Master's in SW (quite expensive, even in state, although U of MD was in the top 20 schools at the time).

To have my salary hover around 50K plus all my student debt. Heh. It is INDEED endless. I've been considering becoming a PA (physician's assistant, it's not a bad gig) but I only just got rid of my FORMER debt, and they won't let you borrow enough to live, plus I refuse to move to Phoenix to do it.

It's endless in lots of ways. But, I will say the three or so years I cleaned houses, waited tables at night, and just hung out with the kiddo as a toddler were some of the happiest of my life. He never got "caretaken" by an adult who wasn't a family member until after kindergarten, and I'm kind of proud of that fact. Everyone just assumed I was the au-pair I looked so young, but honestly, where I was living at the time? You didn't want to freaking-- hang out with the loaded moms, it was much better hanging out with all the aliens (illegal or not, but mostly the rich women hiring them did NOT take steps to naturalize them so they could bring their OWN kids over too. No one questioned my kiddo calling me "mommy" it was the same with most of the kiddos. It made me feel like the luckiest person on earth, to be able to do that. I have to say there are certain things money CAN'T buy, and I'm glad I did it, since I couldn't have any more kids.

Happiest memories of all time. Just following that kid around, dealing with him being an autodidact, etc. I just got yearly memberships to most of the museums and the aquarium and science museum and we'd go there, and to parks and to a non-polluted creek nearby.

I regret nothing. LOL.

When my son was a baby we were so broke. It was the toughest time of my life as far as money goes. It was also the best and happiest time. I really don't even remember the money issues.

I've heard my parents say the same.

Look, @Coastal Cowboy , Oumier created your "Squasp"!!! :banana:

I think I want all three, but the purple will be the first. No mention if any added safeties are in place on this one, like with the Pico Squeeze, but it's already gotten my attention.

:danger:
That's very nice!!

I never know what day it is half the time. LOL. But that's good news for those loving those batteries. I have a hard time giving them a fair shake, but to be fair, I won a Joytech something kit, I forget, and the battery was SO huge and heavy, well, I had a hard time dealing with the mod, I wound up giving it to my husband, because I would have busted it, I think. The Ijoy Capo? In any case, it hasn't given me a hugely favorable impression of those batteries, but maybe I just need something better and I could see them working best in a squonker or whatnot, I just don't need them due to my supreme MTL-ness.

I am getting all excited about getting vape mail soon it's silly. Been editing steady for a while, the husband is having some sort of house fit about changing out faucetry, and I've just been editing AND one of my favorite East Coast folks gave me a call. Now, I'm just chillin a minute before yoga. If I keep editing, I won't stop and it's time for a cup of coffee anyway. LOL.

You all got some BEAUTIFUL shinies today, thanks for the pics, very cool!

I really notice the difference in mechanical mods. With low ohm builds they really shine. If you are doing mtl, they have some with lower amp rating and 4000+ mah. Yhey give you quite a bit more battery in a slightly larger package. I am sold on them.
