It just surprises me how quickly the funds can add up...especially in well-deserved situations.

The kid I mentioned lost his new Browning shotgun that he saved his money for and bought with his dad and grandpa. The weapon was in a case so it was found down stream later but was water and mud damaged. Browning offered to repair the weapon free of charge or give him a new one if it the weapon was beyond fixing. The kid said he would not take the money and I don't know if he ultimately did or not.

If anyone asks me if I have any weapons I will tell them I lost them in a boating accident while saving some drowning kids. I will say it jokingly of course.

Ah I see, thanks for the info.

This is awesome!!

That is funny. When I was young the only ones that helped college kids move were parents. You have to wonder how many of these kids who hired a mover have student debt loans.

The Bellhops founder found a niche and exploited it. Ain't capitalism great?

I’m not sure what all the students have that needs a mover.
In my day I could take everything I had at college and put
it in the trunk and back seat and still have room.

I know when college lets out in the spring there are refrigerators galore for free and lots of good deals to be had. My dumb boy sold his 44 inch flat screen with a very nice well built TV stand for $80 bucks. I'm still mad about that.

We should have got him a cheap TV stand but we thought he would keep this one for years. I guess the future grandkids are out one TV stand (;>)
