Re: Update Update
If my parents were in better financial shape (despite popular belief by certain people, they are not receiving big fat checks from Social Security) I would have been LONG gone, but such is life. TX has lots of jobs--low wage, no benefits, and none of those evil union rules to get in the way either. Its probably why the majority of folks here tend to live paycheck to paycheck just to put food on the table and a roof overhead. But hey, they can just go elsewhere if they don't like it right?bloke wrote: ' would pro'lly be best for you to get away from that idiot and move to Mich. or another "progressive" state where they got tons o' great jobs available just waiting for folks like yourself to fill 'em.

Re: Update Update
I am in Texas. It is hot and dry. I am attending an outdoor wedding reception tonight where I will be very hot but not so dry. You have been updated.
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

I think this goes in the Sponsors section. I'm not trying to be pushy or anything.
Furthermore, unless you have state of the art cryogenic equipment, a time machine, and your own personal (C_____e) clone of Arnold Jacobs to play test every single horn you receive, I will not buy a YamaYork from you.

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

The kids were out with their mom on Saturday while she got a haircut. My 4 yr old, Samuel, saw somebody getting a mohawk and said he wanted one. She told him no. Later that day, they were out with their maternal grandfather. Samuel came home with a mohawk.

It's just hair. Better to get those 'do urges out now than when he's in his mid-twenties, applying for jobs from old fogies who don't share his belief that "it's just hair."MartyNeilan wrote:The kids were out with their mom on Saturday while she got a haircut.

Speaking from experience.
Plus, sounds like grandpa paid for it, so you've found two misguided souls in one fell swoop.

First, Chinese cloned tubas.
Then, fake Apple stores in China.
Now, I just heard of a fake Ikea in China.
What's next?

Re: Update Update
Makes me want to throw up! Horace Greely had it right in 1872 when he ran on the campaign slogan, "Throw the Rascals Out!" Term limits! Short term limits! All volunteer politicians. No pay, no benefits and short, short, term limits. Now you know how I feel and I will shut the #@$& up.
