China will never go down, and don't think you can banish communism. Because the people won't let it. They know they are the last standing, they are the only ones left. America is in a decline while China's climaxing, America will go down. We are just done with our prime, if anything, we were going into a depression since 1992 (and don't say you don't know that year). Communism is the American's medias' worst nightmare, because of censorship. I hope we all have to read one newspaper and wipe my butt with one brand of tiolet paper. I hope we all die for our next generations to wear the red armband. We deserved 9/11, and they enjoyed it. You probably hate me now, I know, you just still think like its 1945, well too bad its 2005. We only stand to fall.

Hi, Steve! How are you?

[stephenjohnbanker]

Doin just fine. In the office for a few hours, hardly workin : )

[Monkey Face]

Wow. I only worked on Sundays when I was paid OT. (And when the boss got mad and changed my schedule...)

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Could an office ever be described as work? (Sorry, blue collar snobbery here!!!)

[stephenjohnbanker]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yep!

[stephenjohnbanker]

I am self employed. My employees NEVER work weekends. Just me and my 2 partners do : ). Actually, I work about 60 hours a week. And dealing with clients most definitely IS work, aggrivation alone!

[Monkey Face]

Yepper. I know what that's like, too. I've been on both ends of it, but I realized when I was my own boss that I was more productive if I didn't work on Sundays.

However, when I worked for someone else, I found Sundays to be "different" from the rest of the week. Though I still didn't want to work them...

[Irish_Thatcherite]

I was just joking - the self employed have my full respect. I see the pressure my own father is under (also self employed).

[Monkey Face]

An office is, quite often, harder work than blue collar stuff. At least with physical labor, you can sleep well at night.

Today it has been cold and rainy here.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Yes, I know - I was just joking!!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Hello tulip!!

[Monkey Face]

Howdy, Tulip!

[stephenjohnbanker]

I get a lot of calls from overseas(time difference is 8 to 15 hours), so I get to FReep while I work, which is relaxing.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Some of us are self employed, because we can't stand being under the thumb of anyone(moi) : )

[Monkey Face]

Ahyes....the Joys Of The Undead Thread/Flying Castle!!

Nothing like it when the world is stupid. There is usually always someone here who is willing to listen. Or take part. :o]

[tuliptree76]

Hi IT. :-)

[Tax-chick]

Not yet. Could be tonight, I suppose, but right now it's looking like I may get through another day. Monday night would be okay, after Anoreth and Bill get home from youth group :-).

[stephenjohnbanker]

Hi Tulip. Getting a bit of rest, I hope?

[stephenjohnbanker]

It is always a good idea to schedule........... : )
