Moving slide
When we relocated to our present house in 1999, we looked for movers in the Yellow Pages (remember them? LOL) and a seemingly decent company gave us the best estimate. The movers were Middle Eastern, but we didn’t think much about it, as many of the companies seemed to have Middle Eastern owners, so we thought moving was a specialty of theirs. (Ha! Live and learn.)
Anyway, the day of the move came, they did a quick and mostly professional job, BUT when we got to the new place, they held our stuff locked in the van outside, demanding that we pay them over a grand more than we’d already paid them! Gave us some bogus lame excuse that there’d been more work involved than they had anticipated. Utter BS. We had a signed contract, but they would not listen to us. They were basically holding all our belongings hostage, while they pissed and moaned about all this allegedly unforseen labor that had been involved in our move. We had packed everything ourselves, and both places were one-story residences, so this was a total pantload, and we all knew it. But they would not budge until we forked over the dough. We couldn’t call the cops, as this was before cellphones, and we didn’t know any of our new neighbors yet.
Finally, we just wanted this day to end, so we paid them the money they wanted. There was one American kid, a teenager, working with the crew, and he was acting all embarrassed and apologetic and stuff during the ordeal. I furtively slipped him a $20 tip before they left, when the others weren’t in earshot, and whispered to him that he should seriously look for a better job, with honest American employers.
If there was one consolation in all of this, it occurred a few months later, when a big news story broke, about a major bust involving multiple local Middle Eastern owned moving companies. It seems that this exact type of scam was their everyday M.O., and they finally all got rounded up and permanently put out of business. Just a bit too late for us!
Hey Haff, long time no scroll! How goes it?
As we all know it's never been about any virus or any of the other BS they spew. It's all behavior. We are to come under control at,every level,medical,political,business,educational. You name it we better come under control if we want to live in the new obiden/bama/harris communist regime.
Lets Hope DJT comes back in office next month!! If he doesn't I may go bonkers.
OH yeah in before 150,000.....
My wife wants to live there, she loves books. And guess what for a small shipping fee you can have her....(you might even talk me out of the shipping fee....)

“High corporate taxes”.
Another deceptive LIE to pull our strings, and get Americans fighting amongst each other rather than against our REAL enemy, the 21st century “money changers”, the European bankers, the Fed, and a corrupt US government that enables them to monetarily ENSLAVE us.
WAKE UP, people. There is truly NO SUCH THING as “corporate taxes”.
You and I pay it ALL.
It ALL gets passed onto US, the Consumer.

I fooled them I had a red maga Trump mini-diaper that got them all in a tizzy.
Yes, Hitlery always looks fabulous, as does Moose Obama.
If the military that is now in charge decides that there is no other remedy to restore law and order than Trump will return. It was pretty obvious from the evidence that the election was stolen(and obviously it was) at every level possible especially electronically. NO way any fair thinking body would come to any other conclusion.
If the military can't find a fair thinking body,like the supremos they will do it themselves is what I understand Juan O' saying. If i got it wrong along the line let me know.
OK you win again!! No sense even trying with stuff like this,just too good!!
Mark
Trump on Judge Jeanine now.
