VOTE DEMOCRATIC in 2006, Remember the stock market when Clinton was prez. It was the best ever and lasted for several years. Oops must of forgot that. Thank God about 10- 15% of people are in the stock market at most, the other 85% work 2 jobs for lower wages than they just made 5-8 years ago When will I learn just to shut up and not hit that "Submit Reply' button:whoops: :lgbonk: JL

I must be a republican redneck, how'd that happen?

And I thought it was a picture of the Orlando Chippindales LOL

This is Walts used uniforms, I have pants & shorts from here that are over 2 years old with still no bleach stains, bought all my guys these shorts & pants in gray and its a good buy, cheap, they last and make the crew look more professional I dont like the used uniform shirts because of the old company patches, even if they remove the patch it looks bad The unform Jackets are OK too

We are very proud of our son joshua. We took him to his 1st karate class a couple weeks ago. The instructor is well respected japanese master. Josh is only 3 1/2 and Master Kazu said he would let him in one class to see how he does, but he also said we'd probably have to bring him back in 6-18 months, because kids josh's age arent ready Well we talked to Josh before and told him not to be shy and listen to the teacher. WELLLLLLL we watched from a distance and when some of the other younger ones were screwing around Josh was very focused and doing everything he was told. There were a couple of the older boys (8 yr olds) and they were also helping Josh, getting the right stance etc. After the 1 hour class I went to get josh and the Master said josh did great and was very disciplined and listen & tried really hard. My wife & I were VERY proud of him. The classes are 3 times a week so I took him to the next class and Josh really did great he followed all the instrction great and the Master once again said he really is very disiplined and he said he can tell josh has a high IQ and we disipline him well and he would let Josh stay and he also said "He really thinks Josh ss a natural at Karate" He was showing me how josh can balance on his heals then kick and some other things josh can do that most younger ones cant. A couple of the older boys said he is very focused that he does it all very well Theres other boys about 1 year older and they just dont stand still , well the master gave josh the head gear , gloves & sword. He said he doesnt usually give this gear till they are 5, but Josh can handle it. We've been going now a couple weeks and Josh loves it. Im so happy he's really enjoying it. I hope my boy stays with it for ever CAN YOU TELL I'M A PROUD DAD. THATS MY BOY!!!!!!!

Jeff, How much time does this take you guys each week? Classes are Mon, Wed, Fri 1 hr each day and its 12 months a year. I like it better than some classes around here that are only once a week

Thanks guys my boy is so much fun and just a good boy

Joe, If none of the contractors here around that area dont want to bid on it, give me a call we do parking garages often in our area. We'll travel if you need Give me a call and we can talk and I can give you a rate for us to do it Jeff 843-446-5931

If you can afford a 5.5 hot or cold you'd be much better off it just cleans quicker saving time and time is money. If all you can afford now is 4 gpm get a portable just in case. I used and did a ton of work with 4gpm for 3-4 years. I was amazed how much faster 5.6 was thou Good luck. Get hose reels too if you can will also save time Good luck Jeff

Happy B DAY C How is it to be 29 again lol Jeff

Myself 2 fulltime one part timer. I actually got more work done this year than last year and we did it with less employees. Last year we hired labor pool guys quite a bit and had an extra fulltime guy for 6-7 months. Damn we're good My man hrs were less with about 80K more in biz so far, I hope next year to have enough work top hire another 2 man condo crew. We've been doing usually one good sized job a week I'd like to have enough work to do 2 good jobs a week. Been doing tons of proposals for 2007 season, keeping my fingers crossed

Well they closed the Pavilion in Myrtle Beach for good. Its been around for 58 years, its a shame to see it go Took my boy and our neice & nephew the last day it was open, we had a great time as usual

Sorry to see it go

OK this should get some of you going. Election time is coming and hopefully the Dems will take control of Congress. So get out there and vote. You all know Im no fan of our Prez, but I'm even less of a fan of congress. This country needs to have Dem control to help with the checks & balances in our goverment. There has been total Republican control for to long and the Republican, yes and Dems too only care about getting reelected Bush can say and do anything he wants and has hurt us and alienated pretty much in the whole world except Britian. All his evel doers like Iran & Korea are doing what ever they want and are laughing at us, because they know we really can't do that much because we are bogged down in Iraq a war that was only going to cost us 10 million dollars (oops bad #'s) I've read where some even some in the military say we are doing good,. Over 1/2 the Iraqee people want to see us dead. We have our military on extened tours. The Republicians are out of control. Like Bush said he wants to get to the bottom of the CIA leak, its bulls--t it was his own people, but he sidestepped that by playing word games. Rumsfeld shouldnt still be there, he didnt have a plan past a few months, DUHHHHH. Aberrooff is a crook and so arent a bunch of the Republican he gave money to. We have a Republican thats a peodophile who just resigned. Allen Mr. Macacca who said he just made up the word, I knew that word since I was a little boy, He says he's never talked racial slurs. NEVER!!!!!! Who's he kidding, just be honest. Then he hides and lies that he's part Jew, get over it. I dont want the Dems in to make things misrable for all, just to have a check & balance system again. One party in control of everything is not good for our country So what do you all think. JL

It makes you wonder if god or jesus wants to say the heck with the lowend of our society, if they arent smart enough, driven enough orr have other problems the hell with them, as some say, As I heard some say, they work hard and our tax money shouldnt be given out in entitlements I wonder if God & Jesus would of thought that too Like I said I'm not religious, but I would bet God loves everyone even the ones that dont matter to some on this BB. Some of the folks that talk about God are the same ones that say the hell with those who need us & God the most. I can feel for every man not just the ones I like. Can you all Rod I like your 2 post thanks JL

In life Im very optimistic, just ask my friends & family, even when I was screwed up for about a decade, yes I got depressed, even desperate, but I always knew I was a good person so I went on and with some help and my own determination I gave up the stuff the screwed with me for years. I'm not very religious and if its God or me that helps me so be it. Life is good or God is good I love life Pessimism doesnt eat at me , but reality is that children are targets all over this country. I may talk pessimistic here but politics just gets me going just like you, Pessimism about our country or republicans, its the same exact way you are about dems My futures so bright I got to wear shades. Jon thats why I keep trying to drop out of these post, I hate sounding negative but, like the line in one of the Godfather movies, hows it go " They keep drawing me in" or something like that LOL

Bravo Rod, you said it well. I do fear for my children and we all should. I'll love & protect mine Just like the 700 mile Border security fence they just put through congress 1.2 Billion $$$. The White House & republican congress passed another bill one day later that says that money can go to other things than just the fence and they put the chump Chertoff Homeland Security Guy in charge of much of the decisions.Why he's still in charge after Katrina I dont know. They knew one day later that the most the fence will be is under 390 miles, not 700 miles like they told the American people.Why do they have to lie to us WHYYYYYYYY . Oh they'll tell us its going to other border security. But the bill was suppose to be 700 miles of fence

Jon I agree to enjoy and live life Totally. Its just now with kids I worry what I see will get worse. Pedophiles, murders for no reasons, kids having babies, school killings, AIDS. A whole muslim region that wants us in the US dead it is a scary world. With a lot of social problems You ask any law enforcement and they'll tell you the day is gone when you can walk in a mall or walmart and not have to hold onto yur childrens hand every minute for the fear of molestation or abduction Its like many think life is a big screwed up violent video game. When I was a young boy my parents didnt have to worry about some sick perv with night vision goggles stalking me and abducting & killing me. Bad things happened way back when, just not as much as now. You have to educate your children on stranger danger , you have to prepare them I dont dwell on it with my boy , but we do talk about it you have to. I dont care about some boat flipping in Panama or trampling in China. But I do fear some killing perv grabbing one of my beautiful children. I have to! My kids are going to learn to love life like my wife & I do. but they'll know to beware and they'll learn to protect themselves using there minds & muscle Life is Good JL

My enclosed does baffle the sound some and I extended the the exhuast pipe and piped it out the floor , it helpa the noise some and sure did cool it off a lot But I can never get that rig in parking garage. I like the enclosed and hope to put another hot unit in it someday. The enclosed you can store a lot of stuff, I have everything but the kitchen sink in there Id add a 2nd machine

Don, althou my life is very good and sounds like yours is too. I think this whole world is going to hell in a hand basket. I wish for the best for all, thats all. I just see different way to get there. I agree unions got greedy many of them and Corps are the greediest now, along with are politicians that are corrupt in many aways. I just worry about my children in the future.

I probably wouldnt vote for a gay man, Definitly wouldnt, but if I didnt know he was gay and he did a good job and then I found out he was gay I wouldnt want him out just because he's gay.

Celeste, Basically I was being a smart ass. Republicans to me are very intolerant, so I was asking if a republican would vote for a gay. I've known a lot of gays when I was younger working in the food service biz, there were a lot of gays some I liked some I couldnt stand, yes because they were gay and pushed it, walked around like peter pan, hit on every guy in sight etc. The more gays comes out of the closet, the more they want. Why should they get anything different from anyone else. If my gay cousin came to me for a job. I wouldnt give him one. Why because he's a freak, very weird and very fem. Now if 2 hot looking lesbians were kissing and having *** in front of me while applying for a job with my company, I'd hire them. See Celeste I'm not Homophobic LOL

Don I have no problem with your question. Min wage isnt just a starting wage, its a guide for many other workers who make more than Min wage. The guy that makes, $6, 7, 8, 9, $10 an hr. Many of these people are good hard workers, but uneducated or its a 2nd & 3rd job. I just simply believe people who give a days work, should get a decents days wage. I figure if people make more money in their daily wages they will have more money to spend, more money to get their houses washed etc. Vehicles cost 40K so what. Why because cheaper foreign car companies dont pay the benifits to their employees or have retirement funds If average blue collar workers made more money , maybe this country wouldnt be as morally screwed up. Think back to the 40's, 50's, 60's. When a man could get out of high school or not even graduate high school and get a decent paying job. Now think back that man could support his family within a few years of getting in the work force. GUESS WHO WAS HOME WATCHING THE KIDS....... YES MOM. Mom taught the kids daily right from wrong, how to do chores around the house, manners and the had supervision. Now most/many mothers have to work. Wheres the parent to teach these children how to do the chores that will train them to have a good work ethic. we ask why kids are killing kids or why kids dont have any work ethic, why kids /girls are getting pregnant at 11, 12, 13. Theres NO ONE WATCHING our most valuable asset our children. Because we have to all work just to get by in some cases . A father could work have health insurance, dental and some retirement, now most dont get crap or at least much less. Whats the matter with a living wage and if you keep the min wage down it keeps other wages down. Both parents work, yes many want all the perks, but many just want a little home a car and a happy family. You cant have it when the fathers job gets sent oversees so we can have cheaper computer parts, or cheaper cars . Now dad has to take a cheaper paying job work 3 jobs and moms working too. Im babbling, but I as a business owner think if people thought there was much of a future for a lowend blue collar worker people would work harder, get a better work ethic and I'd have better people to pick from I'm from up north Boston and people made good wages and most people worked hard. Now I live down south and the same jobs that paid $15-$20 an hour up north pay $6, $7...$10 an hour. I think the low wages in the south, takes the hope away from people. Many see no matter how hard they work they're never going to make GOOD money. So over time they said why work hard if your going to get paid crap. I know many who feel that way, some dont give a crap , some/most still work very hard As a business man I think give a man hope. I have 2 guys I started them at $8 & $9 an hour 15 months ago and now the are both making $14.00 am I losing money. NO. I know a couple PW companies that start their guys at $8, $9 and wont give them a raise for a year or so and then $.75 maybe a buck. MY WORKERS MAKE ME MONEY. Believe it or not $14 is a good wage around here. I plan on giving these guys $1.00 raise every year. I show them hopes to get more money they show me a good days work If wages were up, more mothers could stay home, more kids would learn , more workers would work hard for you Start thinking like a business owner???????? I am, you keep thinking that a worker is just a commodity, just another tool and not a man with pride and BILLS you'll just have a so so worker at most. Companies used to offer their workers hope, there isnt much hope out the for the average blue collar worker anymore. Years ago companies were very successful and CEO only at most made 20 X's the amount of the top paid worker and They werent making 2, 3, 4, 10. 25 million. Creed and a global market has brought down the lowend worker, the blue collar worker and many proessionals. Why so the top 1-2% can get richer. I have nothing wrong with someone being a millionaire, but dont do it n the backs of the very citizen that make there products and buy the product I'll keep paying my guys well and will keep giving them raises and hope to give them some bennies in the next 2 years and I promise you they'll keep working hard for me and they'll actually be able to almost pay all their bills. My company will keep growing and that extra couple bucks an hour wont stop me from putting another worker on, because of these guys I can keep adding jobs and making more $$$$$$$ Min wage isnt an entitlement , but neither is disability that YOU could get if you fell off a ladder and broke your back and couldnt pay your bills. What you wouldnt take SS Disability if you had no money to feed your family? Most american workers feel no sense of security anymore The 40's 50's 70's you did because it wasnt such a cut throat time Its not loyalty to unions this point of my life its loyalty to my fellow man and this country Islam & democrats thats funny, so your saying even if a great man came along and he was a democrat you wouldnt vote for him. See that just seems very extreme almost like muslim extremist. I've seen all aspects of life and I like the world I want more than the party who just wants to take care of the top 2%. Dont fool yourself the president & republican congress are just democrats in sheeps clothing( by your thinking as I see it). Your side is robbing us blind up in congress, they are spending spending spending . At last Clinton WIPED out the deficit and cut Welfare, and cut Goverment Jobs . Bush just keeps spending and lying to us all I will be successful and feel good about it VOTE DEM IN 2006, Get The Bums Out
