I actually made $16,000 in about a day, tracking down a bug in a major government computer system.

True story, I dint tell them I fixed it for a month. I used to be able to play that game, not any more. But it still goes on.

"I would still vote for candidates that worked to limit outsourcing."

You can vote for anybody you want and for any reason, but if you think you would be doing the right thing or helping yourself or anybody else, you would be wrong. Capitalism and free markets are part of the foundations of freedom. And the most efficient and cost effective means of doing anything, will eventually benefit and reward the most people.

Another is patriotism. But I agree that the government is not the solution to this problem.

And he sold all our secrets to China so he get re-elected and screw us for four more years. And he is counting the days until it will be Hillary's turn in the barrel. Right now, both of them are thinking that it might be sooner rather than later.

If they buy a TV at WalMart because it's cheap and convenient, then they are stupid because it will probably break sooner than any other TV they could purchase.

Then take it back and get another one.

But, of course, it won't break, because Wal-Mart sells the same stuff Target and Costco, and Sears and other retailers sell, only cheaper.

Have you even been in a Wal-Mart lately? You ought to go, then you'll realize you've been paying too much for some of the same stuff.

Either way is an honest living. I can't really go into the argument right now as to the outsourcing and all. But FoxPro has hit a new vein, marketing wise.

I want to ask whether you are divorced or seperated, etc. But I've already been too personal. However it does color the story as to motivation and tradeoffs.

Mr Meatloaf,

One stands in awe of your kindness to your mother in regard to the malfunctioning Air Conditioner.

Me thinks that you should consider a career in air conditioning repair.

At the very least, I have not the foggiest notion as to what the post was about otherwise.

I am afraid that when it comes to mechanics of things, I am up a tree without a parachute or is it up a river without benefit of a boat.

Ah, never mind. I am just too befuddled about motors, coils and crappy aluminum SIDEWALLS(?)

Oh, my... and getting ones hands actually dirty.

If you study what you wrote, the only real problem is the government. If the blood-suckers in and living on government weren't cannabaling the rest of us in the economy, everybody, including the blood-suckers and parasites, would be better off.

No, I haven't been to Walmart since the spring, looking in the garden section, but the issue is whether I take the time to research and buy American even if it means paying more. I have done that for shoes and clothes. I have been lax on computers, my last one was from Taiwan.

How come I donated an Additional $20 tonight from my previous donation and it didn't show up on the scoreboard?

Just Curious. I consider FR worthy. Just wondering :)

This man is a churl and a dastard for using this language to describe his former wife. I had believed that a certain level of civility was required to post on this forum. Is that not correct, or has something changed?

bvw,

We sould be concerned as to which vein he has hit upon.

Me thinks it could be potentially very hazardous for his health.

Why, once my best hunter jumper was struck in a vein near his withers.

Blast it all! We had to put him down. Best horse at show one year.

Dreadfully sorry to have brought it up.

Oh, painful memory that.

Perhaps you could elucidate some marital advice as well?

Well, I caught her in bed with my brother 15 years ago. The marriage ended spiritually then. I decided then to stay for the kid’s sake. They are grown now. My investment paid off well with them. You couldn’t create better kids in a lab. I have NEVER had one cross word with my sons, and I find that something that I rely on when dealing with other/new people I associate with. My KIDS taught me everything that I know. The college degree is just a piece of shit.

Let me simplify more. Nothing is as it was. For that reason anything done now and in the future will have to comply with more laws and regulations.
