Well the Political process is obviously FUBAR what is your opinion on this!!!,.. it seems the Pres has false documentation from a dead Conneticut man.

   I am no birther but this is an interesting find and Congress needs to investigate.

Can somebody go dig Reagan up and revive him somehow? We need him!  :bricks1:
He couldn't get nominated today.

Amnesty, raising taxes 11 times, health care mandates? They'd eat him alive.

Yeah I'm no birther either, but I always found the whole thing fishy. Media hasn't done their job...Sarah Palin gets reporters living in the house next to her to catch her every waking move, everything conservatives ever said is dug up from yesteryear, yet not one childhood friend of Obama  , not one student taught under Obama, or anybody else around him has ever been interviewed. Liberal media is a joke  :2cents: It will be interesting to see what happens from this

Well it sounds like you have a real passion for something and are good at it.  You are ahead of most people in that regards.  There are many ways to go about things, but one thing I have found is sometimes you need to invent your own job or career.  Unless you are inthe military, working for the govornment, or on a straight and steady career path with a large corp.   When I was in my teens there werent many doing what I am doing now, but I stuck with it and adapted and invented as things progressed.  Once I got ahlod of the internet in the mid '90s I could see it all laid out before me. 

So with what you do, with the technology involved, your obvious love if it and talent, you could take it places that dont even exist right now. 

Just my thoughts...  I can see a realy bright an dexciting future.

Well Like Bin laden you can run but you can't hide the truth is gonna come out sooner or later!!! and then I hope charges are brought and people go to jail. Seems nothin will come of this as long as Eric holder is playing Guard. The problem with the repubs is they have NO BALLS!! They let the Dems walk all over them all the time and put up no fight. I want stronger representation. Not a bunch of neutered payoff's.

This should not give Liberals Hope because I would vote for Satan before I would vote Democrat. Would be nice to see some sane economics they are badly needed. The days of bailing everyone out is over and the gravy train trough is down to the skimmins. Whomever the Repub nom is? Has got our families votes already they can count it now.  I am alive and breathing not some dead voter or mickey mouse character. Don,t need someone to buy me smokes and beer and walk me to the registration line. I guess I just have not been marginalized, categorized, steryotyped, and demigogued enough by the dems. Sad thing is this works on so many people. Repub better grow some in the presidential debate, It is not like they don't have anything to run against Obama. Carter looks good compared to him. If he wasn't such a condescending snob with a foreign attitude and a chip on his shoulder the size of Gibraltar, ( were gonna make the country pay for Bush's 8yrs ) instead of working to actually improve the American situation. I wish you lots of luck with yer career. I just don't see how some of these dem talking heads can keep a straight face with all the horsehunch getting on the government supplied Bib.

Well guys thought I'd check in after completing my first yr of college.  I am still struggling with what I want to do, what I'd like to do.  As my grandfather says "There's alot to be said about working at something you enjoy....but there is also alot to be said for making enough money to support your family."  Guys, I just don't know!!! I've prayed, searched, worked at my website on the side, but there is just NOTHING looking up.  No longer can ya look at one sector and try and predict that it might boom in the future...maybe you can, but these are tough times, and it looks as if the economy is on the downward trend again (from where it already is now...which is the dumps).  I've had alot of people ask me, since I'm always working on the challenger if I'm gonna be a mechanic.  I guess I enjoy the work, but the only way I'd be interested in that was if I owned my own shop.  Plus, I know alot of mechanics who are really struggling right now.  I've just been itching to start something on my own, take a risk.  If I could do something where I am my own boss, that would be ideal.  But I tell ya, after my first year of college- its still school and it still sucks.  I just don't know where or what to pursue, and its getting time I decided

And plus...my mowing I do on the side has really took a hit this year.  Worst year I've had.  Nobody has the $ to pay for their yard to be mowed.  They either let it grow, mow it themselves, or pay a member of their family a smaller fee.  I also had a job at the local Parks and Rec, enjoyed working with the kids, but that is over for the year  :bricks1:

Whatever you do, don't try to start a career in government.

E.g. whether it's a park ranger, bus driver, policeman, firefighter, or in public works, there is no future in that.  But that's the grand plan, isn't it?   :stirpot:

I suggest to quit school and join the military.  Defense will always be funded well and as long as you're not killed, it's job security for life.

Do you have professional mowing equipment, commercial grade stuff, or Harry Homeowner stuff? If commercial, look to getting some commercial accounts, warehouses, manufacturing plants, things like that. Those will beat up homeowner equipment, but with commercial equipment you can do well.
