The meaning of whacked out to you might have a different meaning than to me. Being whacked out means you love to smoke the black. Yes, lots of problems with Heroin abuse here. Lots of money so there are a lot of functioning addicts.

Wow, scary.

What does a pitcher of BUD LIGHT go for at some of the local watering holes?

Iceman · 07-28-10, 09:44 PM

Iceman's perfect world:

September-Mid-December- Rent a furnished home in Las Vegas (Summerlin with wife), Strip at Panorama Towers (without wife)

Mid December-January- Flushing, Michigan (my hometown, close to family for the holidays but not living with them)

January-March- Newport Beach, California rent a furnished home on the Ocean or places like Brentwood area, etc.. Don't know enough about all of them but LA area.

April-Mid June- Flathead, Montana (cabin or lodge)

Mid June-August- Cabin in Traverse City, Michigan or Houghton Lake, Michigan

A man can dream can't he? Maybe one day if I can learn to beat the NBA, LOL

That is a hard one to answer Fish. I only drink Heineken and only drink Bottled Beer. I pay about $4.50-$7.00 per beer for what I drink.

It really all boils down to taste. Wife's friend told us to check out Boulder City, swore that we would love it. I thiought it was awful. So like I said it really depends on your taste

Serioulsy if Mt.Charleston area was 15 minutes closer and there were some businesses around, I would live there. I am sort of sick of the suburban lifestyle of living 5 feet from each other but nothing you can do about that in Vegas. Might look into Lake Tahoe area one day, looks nice. That or maybe Montana/Wyoming, etc... I am a western U.S guy from here on out.

I found Boulder City to be pretty boring too. I worked for an AC contractor there for awhile, but the work was usually actually in West LV. I never did get inside of Hoover traffic jam.

When I first moved to LV I rented a room from some people I knew from Colo springs that moved there. It was technically in Henderson down Boulder Highway near Trop. There was a nearby bar called Sportsman and Nevada palace was pretty close. I didn't much like it there. I liked my place near Charleston & Decatur better. The worst places ( in LV) I lived at were 15th and Fremont and the Blue Angel motel at Eastern and Fremont.

Lived in Boulder City for 9 months.......loved it.

Long drive to gamble though

No, Paul Walker is his name.

Fish, problem i have with the heat in Vegas...

Trying to play golf in 105 degrees is dreadful, i mean that heat, combined with some decent wind, makes for SEVERE chapped lips and a miserable experience. Great in like May though.

I am 36, I work very hard. Involved in the Health Care field. I average 390 hours per month, sometimes a bit less at times. It's for myself so it doesn't bother me. I am doing exactly what I want to do with my life. I enjoy my work.

How could you working 390 hours a month ? That is work and sleep only type of schedule.

Well that is my life. My life is my work, that is what I have turned it into. Trust me, My Doctor's family and others aren't happy with me about how much I work. I am sure it won't last forever like this but for now, it's the way it is.

Iceman · 07-28-10, 10:12 PM

Wow congrats if you can pull it off. Would have to be some kind of commision pay structure for me to what to even think about that and sure I still couldn't do it.

390 hours a month with 3 days a month off means working 14 hour work days everyday the rest of the month meaning starting at 7am till 9pm 28 days a month. Thats coutnting getting paide for lunches also. Wow thats a lot!!

I do work 7 days a week. I do take vacations but they are planned out far in advance. I don't need to work as much as I do but I want to for now, if that makes sense, employee issues etc etc.... I wouldn't be busting my ass if it was for someone else. I would never work for someone this hard. It's going towards me and my future so I am fine with it.

No bother at all on this end at anything UNDER 106

I also prefer to walk when golfing........hate carts.

In fact, I will never play golf again with a cart.

There is no such thing as vacation or lunch or anything like that if you do what I do...

flyingillini · 07-28-10, 10:21 PM

BROCK LANDERS,

What are the most famous songs from Godsmack?

Iceman · 07-28-10, 10:23 PM

In Michigan I worked a job putting in 60 hours or so a week but it was easy and made commisions so was compensated well for it. Never took a vacation in 6.5 years. Sure we had holidays off but nothing that consisted of more then 3 days off at a time for me and 3 days may be pushing it. Never do that again.

Brock Landers · 07-28-10, 10:26 PM

I am working now, doing overnights for a week, one of my employees is away. I am in the staff bedroom.

The agent suggested 257k, I think I will give him a 90 day listing tomorrow. I'd probably take 240k on it if quickly offered, if it drags on with little interest....it would be adjusted.

I'd probably take 230K for a fast sale. Only listing it will give me the info I need.

Are you in Las Vegas?
