THE CZickness XLIX....Tackling 2023 with CZ style...

[Benp]

Ouch!

 

[Born2vette]

1st time in 20 years I get something back. $96 from fed and $240 from state. One year we sent $6800 to the feds.

Still waiting on all the documents to bet a final figure, but this ismthe first full year we have both been retired so no clue wether we will owe or get something back.

Thank you all for the prayers also - now let's be kicking this crap to the curb, shall we...??

Hey I am only on my first scotch, but I was thought you were referring to $350 + $30 shipping

Besides, us civilized types call it 9mm Browning or 9x17. .380 is so common.

How’s about the 9mm Kurtz??? Ya??

Good morning folks. I missed a bday! Happys to you, Tim!

Probably not the best group to admit this to… But I’m suffering from guilt. I had mentioned that I was seeing about Uncle Sam upgrading my daily driver for me. Which after conferring with mama, she agreed I “deserved” it… Now I struggle with that, because I don’t feel like I “deserve” anything. I feel guilty for wanting something like that when my current daily works “fine”… It could be bigger. It could be more comfortable. It could have working dash gauges (I currently use a speedo/odometer app on my phone to track fuel)… there are other things we’ve wanted to do, some house things, as well as some repairs to our family hauler. Which I had intended on probably maybe replacing with whatever vehicle I ended up with…

But I can’t shake the guilt. My fault. Not anyone else’s. It’s a mental thing. And I believe I’m going to hold off, make some necessary repairs to my current s10 and some to the Yukon. And call it a day. Continue to grind away. And maybe plan on an upgrade after I finish this major side project I’ve got going on with some paint and body work on a Scout.

Guilt is such a tough thing, man.
Sometimes it’s there to help us, like learning to not touch a hot stove help us, or correct us.

Sometimes it’s there unjustifiably, good intentions but wrongful or misleading thinking.

I think time helps, when you have it, and it sounds like you have some time to process and diagnose. Both the ride and the emotions/logic.

But guilt doesn’t mean beat yourself up. I think sometimes that’s our first response. I personally think it helps to disconnect, emotionally (that’s where time can help). We’re looking for this certain forest while standing in the middle of all these trees.

Process, but don’t beat yourself up along the way.

Thank you. I, like a lot of us, get hyper fixated on things. For short bursts. It’s been happening all my life. And it wasn’t until a couple years ago that it was pointed out to me. And it’s taking a long time to wrangle it in. But I’m there. I still get hyper fixated on things, “flavor of the week” as my wife likes to say, but it’s different now. I take the time to do the research, run scenarios through my head and take a break from it. If I come back to it again as a possibility, then I take a deeper dive. I try not to just jump on things anymore. It’s hard. Extremely hard. Takes constant work… but FOMO, Fear of Missing Out, is no longer the way I want to live!
