    He was one of the only non-physicians that worked for them I think. He was a clinical psychologist. No night shifts for him! I work nights myself.

    I’m trying, even if I pack my bags and move in a year or two. I’m hoping everything I do has a ROI x2. If I build a 10k shop I want 20k for it when I leave. Lol

    We will see though. My house is a big work in progress. I’m only working on outside. Haven’t done anything outside since I have 2 full grown German shepherds who get kinda dusty and you don’t even realize it till they lay against the wall in the same spot every might and there’s a black spot now lol.

    I’d move back to Clanton if it was convenient for work, but I’ve grown fond of this old neighborhood I’m in where all the houses were built in the 80s. I’m also the youngest person in my neighborhood so the watch is great lol

    You definitely have a good head on your shoulders, doing what you're doing at your age. If I could go back and do it all over again, I would save a lot more and spent a lot less! lol

    Are we talking their "company" or "background"? I think I may have confused myself :rofl: All our docs are sub-contracted as a business with their backgrounds in fam med(most)/IMA(1 maybe)/ED(3ish). They only work in the ER at this time.

    Exactly! How much land? We're looking for up 30-40 acres. But at this point I'd settle for 10acres if in right area.

    HOA blows where we are currently

    When I say IMA, I mean Internal Medicine Associates (https://imaopelika.com/). Emergency Med is still a relatively new specialty so I guess it shouldn't be surprising.

    There is a fine line between “hardest wheeling” and “nucking futs”

    Ok. Most have a Fam med, maybe 1 or 2 with IMA, and then 3 or 4 with ER. I'm not sure on exact numbers. I'm on night 7 of 8, so my reading comprehension is probably shit :rofl: :rofl:

    It’s not the debt that is the issue. It’s when you over extend yourself financially that is the issue. Mix that with not being prepared for an unexpected event and it’s not good for the vast majority of people. People always say credit cards are bad. They aren’t bad unless you don’t pay the bill in full each month.

    From AlabamaWX

    ON THE MAPS: A deep upper low continues to spin away over Tennessee this morning; this feature will keep temperatures over the northern half of Alabama below average today; most places will stay under 80 degrees. The average high for Birmingham on May 20 is 82. A few isolated showers could form this afternoon, but odds of any one spot getting wet are only 10/20 percent.

    REST OF THE WEEK: Temperatures will gradually warm up; we expect a high in the low 80s tomorrow, followed by mid 80s Friday. With the increased warmth comes higher instability values, and that could lead to a slow increase in the number of scattered showers or storms, especially by Friday. Otherwise, look for partly sunny days and mostly fair nights.

    THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: We are forecasting highs in the mid to upper 80s over the weekend, and the risk of random, scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms will remain in the forecast. You will see this most every day from now through summer… odds of any one community getting wet will be around 40 percent Saturday and Sunday. Most of the showers will come from 1:00 until 9:00 p.m., and there isn’t any way of knowing in advance exactly when and where they pop up. You just have to watch radar trends.

    NEXT WEEK: Classic late May weather continues with warm, humid days and a few scattered showers and storms around on a daily basis. Highs will remain mostly in the mid to upper 80s…

    RAIN UPDATE: Here are rain totals for the year so far, and the departure from average…

    Birmingham 39.94″ +17.86″
    Muscle Shoals 37.81″ +16.29″
    Anniston 37.68″. +16.31″
    Tuscaloosa 37.44″ +15.60″
    Huntsville 36.93″ +14.39″
    Montgomery 28.09″ +5.98″
    Mobile 15.94″ -8.83″

    ON THIS DATE IN 1957: A tornado touched down to the southwest of Kansas City and traveled a distance of seventy-one miles cutting a swath of near destruction through the southeastern suburbs of Ruskin Heights and Hickman Mills. The tornado claimed the lives of forty-five persons and left hundreds homeless. It was the worst weather disaster on record for Kansas City.

    ON THIS DATE IN 2013: A large and extremely powerful EF5 tornado ravaged Moore, Oklahoma, and adjacent areas, with peak winds estimated at 210 mph, killing 24 people and injuring 212 others. The tornado touched down just northwest of Newcastle, and stayed on the ground for 37 minutes over a 17-mile path, crossing through a heavily populated section of Moore. The tornado was 1.08 miles wide at its peak. It followed a roughly similar track to the deadlier 1999 Bridge Creek–Moore tornado, which was smaller in size but just as severe; however, very few homes and neither of the stricken schools in the area had purpose-built storm shelters in the intervening years since the earlier tornado struck Moore.

    Although I think no debt is better(have been there and it's awesome), I agree with you. I agree 100% on CC.
