Ummm, yeah! I personally know a Phd in Education and it really is "call me doctor". I also know a medical doctor (not PHD) and a Phd in high energy physics and none of them want to be called "Doctor", they prefer "Bob".
Likewise, my brother holds a PhD in Atmospheric Physics and runs a company contracting with NASA. His name is Rob (ironically) and insists on people using his name as he hates the doctor thing.
Personally I don’t give a crap if you have a doctorate, unless you’re a medical professional you’re not a “dr” to me.
@Certus - gonna guess that You Don’t have a Doctorate Degree? (Neither do I - not even close).Personally I don’t give a crap if you have a doctorate, unless you’re a medical professional you’re not a “dr” to me.
@Certus - sounds like you have wealth in what’s Most Important….lucky Man !Nah I’m a commoner who spent the first 13 years of my working life (after highschool) as a machinist and did a trade (fitter and turner).
Furthest I’ve gone in education is a diploma in conservation and land management (wanted to do Biosecurity, but its job turnover rate isn’t great so hard to get into). Then tried just being a park ranger and all the entry level positions still want you to have experience (somehow nowadays all jobs want you to have experience at an entry level *shrugs* ). So ended up getting a job doing vegetation management on the gas fields. Team lead now and got my heavy rigid licence for trucks…and funnily enough now I’m thinking of pursuing a career as a bus driver. Pay sucks but life’s not about wealth either to me.
Got God, got my Wife, bought one of the cheapest houses in this town (which will be paid off next year hopefully). Don’t need much to enjoy life and don’t need to chase money (although it sure does help, ha!)
I’ve been very blessed in other ways - my parents didn’t have money (dad worked, mum stayed home to raise the 3 kids) but they did give me something far, far more important - a constant environment and a stable upbringing. Can never thank them enough for it.
Anyways that’s more than you wanted to know,
I honestly feel it, too.

I've got 6 of them 2 11 yr olds 2 8 yr olds and a 5 and 3 this weekend. Love them all dearly but I am open to renting some out for a couple days.....nah, just glad they want to be around. Life is too short.I honestly feel it, too.
Just missing one thing and that’s the pitter-patter of little feet running around the house (possibly followed by the breaking of something
Yessir. Enjoy them while you can. They'll be grown and gone before you know it. I've got 3 (3 yr old twin great grandsons and a 7 yr old great grand daughter) here in town and they are a joy to be around. Every time I visit they are bigger and smarter it seems. She can carry on a better conversation than a lot of adults I know. The boys are at the stage where they are exploring and getting into everything, often with less than stellar results.
