Just like "wilderness" is a euphemism (back east) for land that has some
natural features such as streams, trees, hillsides and doubles as rental
property with houses, roads, cars and the like.

Out here in the west, wilderness means NEVER having a road, a building,
timber cutting or the like. Out here people don't live in the "wilderness"
areas

Does your "wilderness" include any "country estates"?

Another fun chuckle is the back east use of "high altitude" land. Out here
"high altitude"land is beyond the flight ceiling of some recreational
aircraft and O2 is required for pilots. Yet people run, ski, climb and bike
at these western high altitudes. Easterners, such as pale Rusty (anemia
prevents the full blossom of rust) would suffer collapse and endema at these
western altitudes.

Amen!

"Country Estate" is an oft used name for trailer parks. Go search
"Country Estates Trailer Park" and you'll quickly find that it's a
very common name for them. People with a gentleman's farm would never
refer to it as their "Country Estate", as they know that would make
people think they lived in a trailer park.

"Early Retirement" - Often a company will offer a bribe of some sort
to get rid of deadwood or problem employees before they are normally
scheduled for retirement. They find it worth the extra expense to
jettison those who are holding the rest of the company back, or who
create friction among the general staff.

HTH!

What was that about "early retirement"?

eh?

I guess you don't like it when your crap gets dumped back into your own lap
do you?

Does anemia also lead to "thin-skin"?

Amen!

As I said in my original post in
this thread, it is OFTEN the case that early retirement is due to the
company's
desire to dump you.

So you *do* feel the need to justify the fact that your company allowed you
to take early retirement??

Your company wouldn't have allowed you to take early retirement if you were
contributing to profits. The reason that you were able to take early
retirement is that you were no longer productive. In other words, you had
become a drain on resources.... you weren't worth the money that they were
paying you... you were a leech.



Sorry to ruin your attempt!

You have only proved that you contributed as little to your last employer as
you contribute to this newsgroup.

What the HELL are you on about?

Slow down there vegan man. You're not making any sense.


I never claimed my land in Vermont was a "wilderness".

Yes you did.

I have saved a few
thousand acres from being developed.

You have just delayed it unless you put it in a conservation easement.

I'm just one person doing the right thing.

That's your opinion.

If I hadn't spent all this effort and money, that area would now be ripe
for
condos and walmarts. I could have made a lot of money by flipping it to
other
developers. I didn't.

Not yet. But being undeveloped it is worth more as the other land gets
developed, so you are profiting from development.

What have YOU done to preserve anything worth preserving?

I've purchased several mining claims along the Continental Divide and sold
it back to the Department of the Interior. With the profits, I buy more
claims and sell them back. I've increased the holdings of the National
Forest System and reclaimed mines.

Buy a bumper sticker? Yeah, you are a real nature lover. There is a
special lava
lake with a sign over it that says "Bob Crantz"

I've got a very nice plaque from the Nature Conservancy and photocopies of
big checks from the federal government.


I am not a vegetarian. I am not anemic.

Stop lying!


I retired early, but it wasn't the company's wish. It actually took me
three
attempts before it finally stuck.

Workaholic!

They kept asking what it would take for me to
stay, and the first two times I made some hefty demands, and they
completely
capitulated.

In other words, you were grossly underpaid for most of your career.

The third time, I really wanted out, and told them I was not
interested in staying under any circumstances.

So beholden to an employer! I bet you kissed ass.

As I said in my original post in
this thread, it is OFTEN the case that early retirement is due to the
company's

They didn't hold a gun to your head to make you stay did they?


Sorry to ruin your attempt!

I accomplished what I was after. Thank you!

I wanted to retire early also, but my boss won't let me.

What's your favorite vegetable?

Amen!
