First of all, get a job. Your government checks aren't going to pay for everything for the rest of your life. But of course, you think they will. Because you think you are entitled to government checks, and plan on living off them forever. Get a life. Work for you money, stop looking for handouts.
Stop pulling the 'Poor me" card. Get over yourself. You are only in the 'poor me' boat because YOU put yourself there! Get yourself out, and stop expecting everyone else to do it for you.
If you are 'disabled', but are more than capable of wiping your own ass and doing daily things, like running around town, mowing your lawn, driving your car, going out to eat, etc, then stop living off a label and earn your money the right way. You give the whole world a bad name. Your just a piece of crap stuck on everyone's shoe. Oh, and going to every food bank in every surrounding town is pretty active for a 'disabled' person. If you can get around that much, surely you can at least get a job at McDonald's.
If your a single mom, stop bitching about it. Yeah, you may have it harder, but when you live off the government, food stamps, etc, then you really don't have it harder. In fact, people like you have it easier because you use the fact that you are a single mom for attention, and to get even more government hand outs. Try to change the fact that you are a single mom. And if you DONT want to change that fact, then you need to keep your complaints to yourself. Sometimes you get what you give, and sometimes, you are in the situations because you let yourself be there. And if you are a parent living off the system, what a horrible example you are setting for your children. I'm sure they will turn out to be system grubbers like you.
If your just living off the systems for the heck of it, then shame on you. Get off your ass and do something with your life. You sit back and bitch about how difficult your life is. You have no idea. You get everything handed to you, and still complain. Its people like you that look for things to complain about, hoping that if you make a big enough scene, that maybe you'll get something free out of the whole ordeal.
Pay your bills! If you can buy alcohol and cigarettes and lottery tickets, then you can pay your bills! Stop feeding off handouts. You put so much effort into making sure the government pays your bills, that you could use all that effort into getting a job and having something worth showing off.
If you have to live pay check to pay check, then so be it! At least you are living, and the honest, right way too.
Also, who would you have pay for these more expensive chemicals and disposal costs? Oh that’s right, just take it from the "rich" people, or just pull it off the government money tree.
Have you ever wondered why the cinders work, it is because they are dark colored, and therefore adsorb sunlight and get warm. Humm, solar heating of the streets, now that sounds like a great idea.
I don't know if it is true or not that the city does or does not use cinders in the supposed "rich" neighborhoods, so what if they do, I'm sure that they are paying WAY more taxes on that expensive house than you are.
Yes, cinders make a little mess, but think of how it may help the economy, car washes have to make money somehow.
I would propose a simple solution to not getting the cinders spread in your house. Use some manners and take your damn shoes off. Working people all over this world have learned long ago that it was polite to remove your shoes when entering someone’s house.
First, just so you know, its very difficult to read a post that is in all caps.
Other than that... you're pretty much right on. When the cost of fuel skyrocketed it ate up everyones "expendable" cash. Then it took money people normally use to pay bills with. Any one who was on a very tight budget has paid a high price for that mistake. Those of us NOW on a very tight budget, worry, a lot.
Fuel prices have kind of steadied out (lately), now there's a whole new group of people on tight budgets waiting for an other economy shift and to lose everything. So many Madoffs and so many CEO's have ripped off so many people, everyone is so mad... even what little cash "we" may have, "we" aren't blowing on crap like we all used to do.
No one is asking for credit cards... on the average people are learning to live with-in their means. Not many are willing to bet on their next regular pay raise and purchase any thing "big". If it were not for Christmas... the economy would be at a stalemate, not growing yet not shrinking.
I think most people are waiting for the next round of crap.... the bill for Nat'l healthcare would be a good example of "next round of crap".
You know, everyone having equal access to quality healthcare is a wonderful idea, its kind of like asking for world peace. But lets get real, everyone doesn't have healthcare NOW because we can't afford it NOW. Sad part, we all will be PAYING for it, long before we get to USE it!
The crash that the high cost of fuel created will be repeated when we start paying for healthcare..... before we can use it.
What I see as ironic is this... this economy is very much driven by the "little people". Our nickles, dimes and dollars make the majority of this economy move. The very rich do affect the economy... by getting our nickles, dimes and dollars. When we little people no longer have that "small change" to blow on cars, lattes, homes, vacations, clothes, furniture.....what happens to the rich people?
The economy is nothing more than a large rotation of money, from hand, to hand, to hand..... when you take out a huge volume of people that only earn money, they don't make it and spend only "small" money what do you have? What kind of economy do you have when the majority have no expendable cash/credit? What do you have when you add a hefty (health care insurance) bill to that same majority of people?
He bought a 1985 Honda for $200.00, put another $200.00 in for tires(used), shocks & brakes, he sold the Honda later that year for $250.00 after he & his family put about 15000 miles on it, it had 173000 miles on it when he bought it & it ran better than when he bought it.
I also had a girlfriend once gave me a monogrammed back-scratcher....sigh...
and,as a previous poster has said,if there were ANY thought put into it at all,one wouldn't have purchased these items to begin with...much less for a loved one.
(A vacuum....for a man? REALLY?!?)
Can't count the kids,unless they are adults.my two little boys got me two horrendously-colored coffee mugs this year but I love them just the same.They are,however,hard to look at in the daylight...hehe.
If a person has been in your life long enough, shouldn't you know at least *something* about them....like perhaps a hobby or some preference of theirs?????
So if, let's say, they wear shirts depicting their favoring of golf and are often out golfing when you're speaking to their spouse, would you buy them basketball themed gifts???????
If you know they are not the chef in the house, would you buy them a set of pots and pans? What are you implying? That they need to learn??
It isn't always the thought that counts because if some had really thought about it, they would not have gifted something the recipient has no use or need for. If you don't know what to get, give a card and maybe a giftcard to a certain store.
Maybe I'm selfish, maybe I lack spirit but sheesh! If I can take the time to seriously consider their likes and wants, is it really too much to ask in return?
Joe Republican wakes up with an excruciating pain in his abdomen and wants to see a Doctor.
The Clinic tells him the Govt Public Option is in place for his Right to Health Care so he needs a Health permit to see the Doctor.
The bureaucrat in the Govt Public Option Office tells him that his paperwork is incomplete so he cannot have a permit to see the Govt approved Dr in the Govt approved Health Clinic.
Joe leaves to get the proper paperwork and the pain in his abdomen suddenly feels like a hot knife in his gut!
Joe double over on the Govt sidewalk outside the Govt clinic and dies from appendicitis.
The Health Dept bureaucrats look up from their Govt desks and call the Govt Coronor who picks up Joe and puts him in the Govt Morgue.
The Govt Coroner calls Joe's parents and tells them Joe died because he didn't have his Govt Health Permit.
The Govt bills Joe's parents for the cost of Joe's autopsy and burial because Joe didn't pay the Obama imposed fee for Free Govt Health Care.
When the country goes to Hell in a Handbasket and Obama becomes Hitler, You can take comfort in the fact that the World's Oldest Profession will be alive and well and there will be plenty of girls to meet your needs.
Even the Bible says Rahab the Harlot was counted righteous because she helped the Israeli Spies!
What's the average price for a Lap dance?
If I get a Lap Dance, am I gonna get to touch her? Is she gonna get close enough for me to smell her "perfume"?
The Hustler club is pretty rough in my opinion. Penthouse club and PTs in Sauget are much better. The other one in Fairview that has enough neon to be seen from Mars is also a good one. PTs in Centerville can be a little spooky, but a total freak show, Friday night is couples night so bring you girlfriend or wife, one table with guys for her and 4 tables with girls.....or most tables, the gender doesn't matter. PTs had a guest stripper one night and she basicly had sex on stage with several other strippers. Fun night.

First off naming names in a public venue is not a good idea. It can get you sued. I notice you didn't sign your name.
Maybe that manager is working for chicken feed and feels he's dealing with less than stellar employees and feels HE has a right to do a crappy job. Maybe he gets to KEEP his job because he does work for so little. The economy has crashed, you know?
"A bean counter"as an enept imediate supervisor is not a surprise. His education was for numbers and money, I doubt there were any required supervisory courses required for his degree. You have a computer, dig around and find him some people managing information/education. He's likely keeping his job BECAUSE he CAN make the numbers "crunch", which keeps people employed.
Also you should realize NO ONE is in business to NOT make money. Understanding "only money" is a primary objective to staying in business.
""""Ok, on with the boycott – let me break it down…………….. Baxters is an entity of the Lodge – don’t go there. HK’s, The Cove, The Ridge, Porto Cima, Avilla, and of course the Lodge itself are all on the list – amongst others……
If you are a photographer or a DJ and you get a call from someone having an event at the Lodge that wants to hire you – tell them you will not work there, and tell them why. If you are part of a group looking to have a convention and you have any say where it will be – do not choose the Lodge. If you play golf at one of their courses – consider going elsewhere – there are tons of other courses here at the lake! BOYCOTT – BOYCOTT – BOYCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! """"
boycott? why? you didn't mention one good reason for the public to join in. all the greivances are all trivial EMPLOYEE issues, not one affects the public/me. Asking someone to turn down a paying job, in this economy, without siteing one good reason is just wasting your breath, not to mention very self centered.
"""Their employees are unhappy, they have not had raises in 2 years (wage freeze), they are constantly bombarded with negativity. No Christmas party this year, no raises, no turkey.
It’s time these people wake up and smell what they are shoveling!"""
That's it? You're asking ME to boycott because YOU haven't had a raise in 2 years? You work for an ass, there's no christmas party this year and there's no turkey? I'm sorry, but I lost my job LAST Dec. and have just now gotten back to work. My spouse is no better off. I'm sure there are many others on here who would love to have a crappy job with a crappy GM.
Maybe this is the year for everyone to get back to the reason of Christmas. Be THANKFULL for what you DO have. You DO HAVE a job, OTHERS have a job. No party? Make your own. No turkey? Buy a chicken and call it close enough, at least you have a pay check to do that.
I have 2 male family members that have had really nice Christmas parties from their companies in the past, but BOTH compaines cut back this year. Maybe their won't be one next year?
I also agree that this is a place to RANT.
HOWEVER.....................................to get on here and ask a group of people to BOYCOT is another issue all in its own. But at the same time, let them boycot. They most assuredly will lose their jobs. Too many people are looking for any job they can get..........................thus those individuals would be replaced quickly...........................idiots!
And who out there doesn't have a job that they (even sometimes) wish they could leave? Even in good times? And all of us know that the grass is NOT NECESSARILLY GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE! So rant, yes.............BOYCOT, no! Change jobs, yes......but remember that you would be low man on the totem pole and first to go if this economy gets any worse...................and people...........................I for one don't think we've seen the worst, the worst is yet to come. The debt this country has racked up is going to bite us in the ASS eventually.
Oh, and by the way? I work with turkies..............................who act like hams..............................and it's NEVER a party, but you people out there that think STATE WORKERS NEVER DO THEIR JOBS think we ALWAYS PARTY!............................
I'm not with you on a boycott. Why? You gave no good reason to. If all it takes to make employees unhappy is no raise in 2 years, no Christmas party and no dam turkey, I think they hired a lot of the wrong people. in case you and your pals didn't notice.... the economy crashed.
No F****** party or turkey? are you on crack? you should be glad you have a dam job! I'm thinking you're the one shoveling the stinky stuff.
bunch of whinners is what you all look like from your post. no dam turkey...... no party... and no raises.... and a couple boss's no one likes, what a crock of crap to whine about. any or all of that does NOT deserve a boycott. did it ever occur to you that with this economy a tiny boycott could be the end of all of you whinners jobs?
I know plenty of people who would LOVE to have your jobs, with out the turkey or party and WITH a pay freeze!
