Do you see that most ER patients are Medicaid? It is here in small-town USA. Population of 600.
A gal came to ER with a broken fingernail. Most way young to have health problems but just too lazy to take care of themselves.


Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Trapping. Sometimes I have to take vacation to keep up. Still beaver call coming in. The local newspaper/radio station are looking to do an interview with me. Not sure if I want to yet. Be a lot more calls after that, and most people want it done for free…lol

Are we doing the right thing? I’m guessing we are all doing it for the same reason, security of some form but is it really worth shorting our time with those that love us?

Depends if what your doing you can include them...When I was fishing, I'd take my son along to "help" and learn the business, he learned enough to stay far away from any water jobs, lol
My daughter often accompanied my wife at art shows, she became a very good seller and a good artist on her own.
If you can't include them somehow then yeah, you may need to examine your life. But most people need to do what they can to keep the lights on, often that means less family time.

Former Teen Model, retired.
Unconvicted accessory to an attempted murder. I was 12 and unaware of why my father decide one day, out of the blue, to teach me how to drive, then kept telling to go faster. Found out later that night that I was to be the getaway driver while the ole man was to be riding shotgun, literally.
The target never showed up. Thank the Lord.

day job as a phone tech

side hustles a little nuisance trapping and some tree work

stuff I do for me/family so I don't have to work at the first job more than the hours they would let me have.
also I have issues paying people to do things I can do myself unless I really don't have the tools and buying them isn't cost effective, it takes longer than I have to learn how , time or it involves really tall ladders.
firewood , anything home or auto maintenance and repairs , yard work , butchering , appliance repair and about anything else that needs doing.

volunteer stuff , down to 4-H , rifle club and one committee.

stuff I do because I like to
fish , hunt , trap , garden , cook and drink beer.

all that doesn't leave much time to do anything else.

Depends how you feel I guess. If you think you’re shorting your loved ones, then hag with them more. I used to be a heavy boozer so I missed a lot of stuff. Now I work so I can do and buy cool stuff and my family benefit from that. Also so I can retire without debt. My trapping jobs are just a tiny nugget in the bag, most of my dough is from answering the phone. Speaking of which, boss called last night asking if I wanted to help move a grain bin this morning. Lift a few lines and then off to the shack for the night.
