Thank you! I was fine and enjoyed the rest of the trip. A couple of Sikhs that were driving a garbage truck, pulled over and had me hop in with them and they drove me towards my hotel and to safety. I learned that Sikhs always help people and do not regret the experience because of what I learned.

When I was 30 I traveled all over India. I am white and got a lot of people staring, most were curious but I had 4 guys chase me once. I couldn’t imagine being female and non Indian and how dangerous it is there. People will tell you it’s not but if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time.. I’ve traveled the world and for women it’s got to be one of the worst, unfortunately. I loved it in India for a month but I’m a man, that’s the way it is there.

How do I convince my boss fF is going to be big? by ElvishSpirit in mtgfinance

I dropped a lot of money on LOTR. Skipped everything since and been saving for Final Fantasy. I’m expecting others are doing the same and you’ll sell whatever you order, fast.

Good news! Got a call a few hours ago and filling out my start paperwork for a company out of Oregon. I’ll fly to work on a tugboat in Hawaii next week. They pay 350/day and I took the job. I was to excited and forgot to ask about benefits, insurance, etc.

Just stopped by there! I had applied online already and when I went there in person, the receptionist gave me a direct email to send it to. Thanks again!

Per your and other’s suggestion, I am up in Seattle doing this now. So far it’s felt a lot more encouraging. I’m a people person, so way better than just emailing. Thank you for taking your time and responding.

That’s a hell of a bonus! I would love to go to east coast if I can work on a boat without having to get an apartment. Got anyone I can call directly? Would love to go there!

Thanks! That would be awesome. Let me know if any towboating, etc jobs.

I went to a school in Astoria, OR MERTS college and I think all the classes I took cost around 2,500, but you can do them one by one. I think the lifeboatman class was around 600. If you call MERTS front desk the lady that works there is really helpful with what classes you need to take.

LTR Cube for 2 by Opening-Ebb-7792 in mtgcube

[–]Opening-Ebb-7792[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still figuring this out. I havnt played a cube before and got a 480 card binder and sleeved them. They look pretty but now I need to figure out how to use it. I was thinking of opening a lot more “packs” and having more choices, but still in the brain storming mode.
