Open Question: Why is Segregation such a bad Deal?

If a community is made up of whites and they choose to support themselves and provide the city services such as fire, rescue, and law enforcement with the taxes of that community, and they choose to cut everyone else out what is wrong with that? I know many Gated Neighborhoods and some towns inact standards in an attempt to legally segregate people out of the town or neighborhood, such as minimum income levels, rules to live by, and moral code(s) of conduct. If you are a person of color and a community did not want you around why stay??? WHy force yourself upon them?? Why endanger yourself and possible families cause some jerks said we dont want you here??? There are plenty of places to live in so why would a person force themselves on and still get ostracized by a community? I do not believe in racism. I am not saying any race or religion is better than another. I know that there are better classes of people but each class has multiple races. I own a small farm. I chose to live where I live cause I like the people around me. I did not choose to live in a gated neighborhood or any neighborhood where I could have some idiot trying to tell me how to build my house, what i can or can not have, and how I can park my tractor(s) boats, trucks, and farm equipment or what kind of fence to put on my land cause they think it is pretty. So if people want segregation for any means, race, religion, economic or social class why not give it to them. They ignorance will cost them some day. more

Resolved Question: What's the worst fall you ever had?

Warning.. my story is long, and you don't have to read it! Mine was, by far, yesterday. I was riding a horse with major dominance problems that my neighbor had in training, because I was going to run her tonight at a rodeo. All was fine, and I was getting along with her well.. she didn't seem to try me with much. I ran her once, and made a pretty good run. And then she wanted me to make another run but this time take her outside the arena and run in through the gateway (the horse has trouble getting in the ring, so she wanted to make sure I could get her in). Well, I couldn't. I gave her a smack on the butt, and I guess she wanted to make it clear that she doesn't take direction from me, and started backing up super fast even though I was driving her forward as best I could. My neighbor said "watch the thing behind you!", the mare stepped on a mower attachment for a tractor, panicked and slipped, and we were over the other side, and she was on top of my leg. It took FOREVER to get her off my leg (it was only me and my neighbor, and the horse was stuck), and I don't think I've ever experienced pain like that before. To anyone who hasn't had that part of themselves stuck under something before.. it has to be the scariest thing in the world. I thought the horse would freak out with my leg under her, and crush it to bits, but she stayed really calm. Eventually we got her up (she was stuck because her upper legs were leaning on the mower) and she only had a bunch of scrapes and minor cuts. I went to the hospital later because my foot felt broken, and after spending 9pm to 6am in the emergency room with a bunch of crazy, angry people, I come to hear it's just a bad sprain. If I learned anything, it's that I'll be sure to never ever have any farm equipment near horses.. Not that I would anyways, but she did outside her arena and it didn't seem so harmful until this. And also, unless you're dying, just go to the doctors the next day, and avoid go to the emergency room! So what's your worst fall?! Or if you saw a really bad one, tell that too. Enjoy (:Thanks, Jackio! I just got my vicodin prescription filled, so I'll be feeling pretty good til that runs out. Lol. But wow, you broke you pelvic bone? I've never broken anything. That must've hurt... more

Resolved Question: Is Cheryl (use only 1 square of tp) Crow taking things too far with her demands at concerts?

Is the amount of ENERGY needed to procure her items more than if things were left alone? Are her demands unreasonable or are some of them okay? She needs 2 tour buses and 2 semi trucks to haul all her stuff...hypocrite...if she can make money it's okay to pollute? http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/celebrity/sheryl-crow-queen-green AUGUST 11--Touring the United States and Europe this year, Sheryl Crow arrives at venues with an assortment of environmental demands certain to vex concert promoters, according to a review of the musician’s 2010 backstage rider. The document, excerpted here, actually has a 2-1/2 page “environmental portion” to be “strictly followed and policed.” Seeking to “minimize the overall environmental impact of our tour,” Crow demands that only biodegradable cups and dinnerware be used by the caterer. Produce should be “organic and purchased from local suppliers as much as possible.” And for the five backstage “watering stations,” water “must be sourced from a local spring water vendor.” According to Crow’s rider, her tour party travels between gigs in two 45-foot buses, while her equipment is packed into two tractor-trailers. Crow, 48, also offers promoters “venue greening suggestions.” She wants “traditional light bulbs” swapped out for compact fluorescent bulbs in “all offices, dressing rooms and common areas.” “Eco-friendly cleaning and bathroom products” and “post-consumer recycled toilet paper and paper towel” should also be used. Crow’s rider also notes that, “We strongly encourage you to use renewable sources and/or to buy sustainable energy credits where possible. Many local utilities offer ‘green power’ as an option--please check with yours and opt in.” The document also details how Crow’s backstage hospitality room is to be stocked. The singer needs an assortment of “biodegradable non-petroleum cups” and 24 “disposable napkins made of 100% recycled fiber.” Crow’s rider also lists a wide variety of drinks and snacks that she needs, including organic coconut water and two bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon (“Sheryl’s Favorite” is Stag’s Leap Artemis). Two “good quality, dark, organic chocolate bars” are described as “***VERY IMPORTANT***” more

Voting Question: Any single country/farm girls left??? PLEASE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!?

I am a going to be a senior in high school this year I am a single guy. I am a farm/country boy I collect and farm with antique tractors and equipment.

Voting Question: For cars/trucks, why is wear and tear, vehicle lifespan, and maintenance schedule measured by miles?

Why aren't these things measured by hours in the way that aircraft, boats, tractors, and other heavy equipment are measured? Mileage seems like such an arbitrary unit of measure, considering that it varies from one vehicle to another depending upon wheel/tire size. It seems like either hours (or maybe even wheel revolutions) would be better, more meaningful units of measure. Why miles?To clarify what I mean by wheel/tire size, a lowrider with 20" tires will experience way more wheel revolutions per 1000 miles than say a truck with 36" tires. More wheel revolutions is probably more wear and tear, no?Re: tire size, the difference in mileage between a 30" tire and a 33" tire (both of which could be used on the same vehicle) is about 10% -- that is a pretty significant difference over the course of several thousand miles!I'm not talking about tire wear and tear necessarily, I'm talking about drivetrain/powertrain wear and tear -- smaller wheel diameter = more wheel revolutions = more wear and tear on drivetrain more

Resolved Question: 2600 Ford Tractor oil pan leak?

I work on a farm. The equipment that I am working on is a 2600 ford tractor that has a oil leak. I thought that it might be seeping from the front crank or front cover, but it is not. The leak is comming from the front of the oil pan. I put a new gasket on, but it did not fix it. I do not see or feel a crack in the pan, it is comming from the gasket area. I did do a very clean job putting it on. I tried a bottle of oil leak stop. There are about 6 quarts in the pan, the bottle says to put a quart to 4 quarts of oil, but I was told that the bottle I used would work. I told my boss and his response is to put gasket sealer around the pan. I know that this is not a good idea, but he will not buy a pan and I have to do what the boss says. Does anyone have any recommendations? more

Resolved Question: How on earth did the 1959 Revolution succeed in Cuba?

It seems to have been a mess from start to finish, from the shambolic and poorly planned attack on Monacado to the crash-landing of the Granma. None of the significant commandante's had any significant military background, their soldiers were a few teenagers and ne'er-do-wells armed with tractors, rusty old rifles and little else in the way of equipment, and yet the 'revolutionaries' are somehow still running the country - how on earth did it happen? It's like a gang of thugs in Brixton overunning parliament, surely with the resources of an entire nation,Batista could easily have succeeded against the revolution - why didn't he? Even today most people in Cuba seem to hate the Castro brothers, who preside over a crumbling infrastructure and a living time capsule - why are they still in power?@ Nostrils 'mate' I have just been to Cuba. Sure there are posters everywhere and news items all professing love for Fidel, but talk to people ('instant friends' who accost you in the hope of getting money don't count) and I bet you'll find nine out of ten people hate Fidel and blame him for their squalid living conditions. more

Resolved Question: A Question Regarding Sexual Harassment In The Workplace?

There seems to be a potential sexual harassment situation brewing at my place of employment. A little background. First, I work for Hoffman's Manure and Farming Outlet in Cabot Cove, Maine. Its like a "mom and pop" version of Tractor Supply Company. We sell all types of farming and gardening tools and equipment. I am the branch manager for this particular store, as we have three in the greater Portland area. I have worked here for over 20 years and am well respected in the community. Last week I hired a young man named Elroy to work in the warehouse. He's 22 years old and he's a damn good worker. So yesterday I was picking up invoices and inventory from Greg Adams (he is the foreman of the warehouse) and as I was leaving the warehouse on my way back to my office, I noticed Elroy bending over and picking up some pallets and stacking them to be shipped out. He has a damn nice ass and he's a handsome young man. So I asked him casually if he would like to get some shit on his dick. He actually tried to punch me in the face. His outburst was so outrageous that I fired him on the spot and now he's threatening a sexual harassment lawsuit and a wrongful termination lawsuit against me and the company. I called him tonight and apologized for having to fire him and told him if he would come over to my home and give my pecker a good rubbing and a good sucking that I would rehire him and we could put the whole thing behind us. But he flatly refused and called me a number of hurtful, awful, names that truly embarrassed me. Should I just consider this a lost cause and get an attorney to fight his flimsy lawsuits or should I give him another chance? more

Resolved Question: i am writing a letter to farm loan for a tractor how does this sound?

i need a little advice for putting more in this letter. i have to send them a letter with what im going to do with the loan for them to approve it i have to send them a letter telling them what i want. this is what i got so far. To whom it may concern: My name is Jordan Isaac Reese. I am interested in starting a small farm. My interest in starting a small farm is my love of working with animals and farming is something that I would love to do. Me and my family will be working on this farm. I am interested in building a pond to stock with catfish and all sorts of fish. I would like to invest into some livestock such as cattle, goats, and maybe some pigs. I would like to build a chicken coop with some laying hens. I have a interest in gardening to sale the vegetables. The farm equipment that I would need to run my farm would be a new Holland tractor with a cab PTO a loader. that would be useful with everything that is needed to be done. With the economy the way it is I feel the need to grow and produce as much food as possible, to make a decent living. I would like to tell you a little bit about my self. I have always had a interest in the outdoors. I have built two homes with the help of my grandfather and I do landscaping and yard mowing. And my father is a diesel mechanic which he will fix any problems I might run into while using the tractor. He has been teaching me about working on diesel engines. more

Resolved Question: Religious Believers: Do you ever give thanks to God for the works & contributions of other human beings?

I don't mean to be asking here, should you or can you give thanks TO other humans. But if you are in the habit of giving thanks to God, as you conceive of God, for the different blessings in your life, do you ever think to thank God for what other humans did to make those blessings possible? For instance, if you thank God for each meal you eat, do you ever think to thank God for the farmers who grew the grain or grazed the farm animals, and the equipment manufacturers and oil companies who provided those farmers with tractors and/or milking machines, and the feedlot operators and meatpacking plant workers who helped to convert the pigs, chickens, turkeys, cows or sheep to meat, and the railroad employees or teamsters who carried the meat and grain to the big agribusiness company who converted it into food appearing in your local supermarket? Do you also think sometimes to thank the supermarket manager, the stockboys, and the cashiers who made it possible for you to purchase your meat, milk or bread products? Not to mention the manufacturers of the big refrigerator units at the supermarket that kept the meat & milk cool until you purchased it, and the USDA inspectors and local health department inspectors who worked to make sure that the food for sale in the market was safe to eat? Or suppose you're a Christian, Muslim, Jew, Zoroastrian, Hindu or believer in some other theistic religion, and you're a coffee drinker or a tea drinker. When you offer a prayer of thanks to God for a cup of your favorite brew in the morning, do you also give thanks to God for the plantation laborers who picked the tea leaves or the coffee beans, the plantation managers who organized their labor, the winnowers and cleaners who separated the tea and the coffee beans from stray bits of dirt & straw & weeds, the laborers who packed the cleaned tea leaves & coffee beans into boxes or bags, the railroad employees or truckers who carried the packed tea & coffee to the local port for loading onto ships, the crews on the ships who carried the stuff to an American port for unloading, the longshoremen and/or crane operators who unloaded the cargo ships, the truckers who carried the coffee & tea to some big corporation for further processing -- and so on and on? Because if you truly believe in God, and if you think that God created the entire world and that in a sense He rules the entire world, all of these different humans employed by the food industry are "doing God's will" in providing you with your breakfast, aren't they? So should you show some gratitude to them, and some concern about their welfare, while you enjoy the products that God has provided to you partly through their labor? more

Resolved Question: How can i decrease my gardens PH?

I recently got my garden tested for PH which i used last year and my neighbors garden which he is just starting this year, both came out to 7.5 Alkaline. We probably shouldnt have been surprised because the valley we live in actually long ago used to be a limestone quarry. Our gardens are about 10,000sq ft. Mines in a square and his is in a rectangle. He used to have cows and i still have a few llamas so we both have what some might some consider fresh, and "aged manure" although i would think "Aged" means in some drying area but we dont do that. Anyways we are working together on this and sharing equipment and work so we can both feed our families. We are looking for some way to decrease our PH to about 6.5 or 7 would be good, because thats where our plants like. I grew some food in mine last year but it could have done better which sounds consistent with being outside the ideal PH range. I have heard of Aluminum sulfur or something like that and we really dont want to use that if its a chemical thats not natural. Also we looked into composting and that was to confusing and time intensive especially on our scale which we mostly do by hand and tractor but fixing tractors takes time and money, so we try to limit our use of those. Anyways we're a month away from planting which i know is not ideal but is there anything we can do to start the process of changing the PH but still be able to plant? Any idea will do. Oh i also heard about Manure tea and pine needles. And he has 50gallon drums and i have a few hundred feet of pine trees. So thats a option to if we need to. Let me know what you guys think, thank you! more

I respect everyone whos out there working to make a living and not sitting on there fatass collecting unemployment or wellfare, But heres my b*tch All vehicles on our hwys and roads are to be licensed and the cops have no problem busting your ass if your plates are overdue. Now tell me where the hell farmers driving there NON-LISENCED tractor, combine and whatever farm equipment they have on our hwys and road ways causing long lines of traffic behind them waiting to pass which causes a traffic jam waiting for an accident to happen. These farmers do not pay to have these tractors and combines and whatever licensed they do not pay a wheel-tax but yet they get to use our hwys and roadways. I understand they have to go from one field to another to do there job, i also have to go from place A to place B to do my job, Do i get to drive on the hwys in a non-lisenced vehicle HELL NO. These farmers could take the dirt road or gravel roads to get wherever there going, It happens all the time when their is a detour but do they? HELL NO. They drive down there freaking hwy 20 miles an hour as if they own it. Pull your head out of your ass and give your brain some oxygen. farmers TAKE THE FREAKIN BACKROADS. thats what there made for. We pay license on cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles and even mopeds. If you want to drive on the hwys then lets get a law passed were you have to pay to lisence to drive down the hways or stay the hell off of them. more

Resolved Question: who needs to help me with this problem?

I am a 47 yr old divorced, single mom of 3 kids. I bought my home, October 2003, 6 yrs ago, I put $13,000 down, I gutted my home by myself and I built my own cabinets in my kitchen and in both baths, and I did my own plumbing under the sinks. I used a pry bar to pull up 5 pieces of plywood from the kitchen floor. It took me another $9000 for to replace carpet, replace all the plumbing under the home and paint and replaced the floor in the kitchen, kitchen sink, 2 bathroom sinks, 2 toilets, 2 doors front/back, to move in it, then 3 yrs later I put another $4700 for siding on my home. I did all those things so My Kids and I would have a place live and a place of our own. The City of Cocoa has made an entrance to a Conservation Park right outside of my home in a closed in Subdivision. In December 2009, construction started pulling water out of the ground for 2 weeks for a lift station, heavy equipment banging on the ground in front of my home, digging 10 ft deep, 10 ft wide, 50 or more ft long. Walls separating for the ceiling and molding coming away from the walls, across the ceiling brace has fell 1/4 in or more and pulled away from the wall, paint pealing away with the molding, kitchen cabinets dropping 1/4 in from the ceiling, a wall is warped where the ceiling is leaking and other places where it never did before, creaking on the floor where the home is joined together, and a wall area where the home is put together, I can put my hand in, concrete in my driveway where there were small cracks are now an ¾in. wider and in one area is now a tripping hazard, stress cracks on the concrete skirting, from the pounding. There is still construction going on with dump trucks carrying 70,000 lbs of dirt 4/5 trucks an hour 4/5 days a week 8 am-4/PM. A storm water drain is to go behind me this year, which means more trees and dirt will be removed. All the construction caused this thing to happen; they were not here in November or before that. I had an inspection of my home before I bought it in 2003, the Inspector gave me a book with pictures of what was wrong and items that needed to be done and none of those things were listed. I called my Inspector to come out to see what has happened since he was here last, he said no way these were here nor could be normal home settling. This is not my home that is only involved, my elderly neighbor lady to the east of me has just as much damage. The City of Cocoa's Mayor and Councilman, made sure the Turtles in the area were taken care of and wanted to move them to safe area, but found out that was against the law to remove them from their homes, but it is ok to do that to people. A comment of "you will have waterfront property" was to be the storm water drain going in, that was very unprofessional and rude. I have email the Governor, Lt Governor, District Commissioner Chuck Nelson, 2 Newspapers, 9 Lawyers, News channel. So it's not like I am trying to rip the City of Cocoa off or anyone else, I just want my home back the way it was or fixed or something before the construction made me feel unsafe in OUR HOME. City of Cocoa comments/sarcasm as follows: Dear Ms. Kelley, The type of construction is very limited, primarily excavation and limited earth work, construction will be accomplished very quickly, and will not require much more than small bulldozers and smaller tractors with back-hoe attachments. That construction will also include the additional dry ponds on the City's land to provide additional storm water retention for the Cocoa Bay development, which should be a benefit for all the residents. A new storm water retention area will be created immediately west of the Cocoa Bay property line and south of Cocoa Bay Blvd. For more details on the construction aspects of the project I would suggest you talk with the Public Works Department directly as they can better answer specific questions about what the construction impacts will be. Ed Wegerif is the Director of Public Works – his email address is ewegerif@cocoafl.org and his phone is 321-433-8777., 6/19/2009 Dodie Selig Planning & Zoning (321) 433-8535 dselig@cocoafl.org Dear Ms. Kelley, This email is in response to your 1/15/10 email regarding the construction adjacent to your home in Cocoa Bay The lift station and CCA improvements were designed with the existing homes and development in mind. Noise, dust and vibrations from construction are typical and should be expected, but the contractors have contractual obligations to minimize these effects. Another contractual obligation is for the contractors to maintain liability insurance for unexpected damage to private property such as your alleged damage. We understand that the contractor (CMA) met with you on 12/23/09 regarding the alleged damage and they have now involved their liability insurance company. Please be leery of relying on past and future descriptions of the consMr. HUMMM, thanks for your comment.I grew up at county girl w/3 older brothers and I wait for no one to do what I can. I got a letter from the Gov, telling me it was my problem we elected the officials. Contractor Ins. denied the claim and I had my Ins come out 2 wks ago..nothing yet. Neighbor next door her Ins denied her. There is more of this story but wouldnt fit on the comment page. Thanks. more

Voting Question: help with information about cows anyone?! PLEASE!?

For my AG class we have to do a project over cows. We basically have to create a farm. We have to create a minimum 20 slide powerpoint and present it to the class. I have a herd of 100 angus beef cattle.

I also have NO idea what kind of tractor I'd need. He said there is some "large equipment" that we need, but I don't know what that is considering I know like nothing about cows.

I got a joke tell me som of urs~ Saddam Hussein was sitting in his office wondering whom to invade next when his telephone rang. "Hallo, Mr. Hussein!", a heavily accented voice said. "This is Paddy down at the Harp Pub in County Sligo, Ireland. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you!" "Well, Paddy," Saddam replied, "This is indeed important news! How big is your army?" "Right now," said Paddy, after a moment's calculation, "there is myself, my cousin Sean, my next door neighbor Seamus, and the entire dart team from the pub. That makes eight!" Saddam paused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have one million men in my army waiting to move on my command." "Begorra!", said Paddy. "I'll have to ring you back!" Sure enough, the next day, Paddy called again. "Mr. Hussein, the war is still on! We have managed to acquire some infantry equipment!" "And what equipment would that be, Paddy?" Saddam asked. "Well, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Murphy's farm tractor." Saddam sighed. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 16,000 tanks and 14,000 armored personnel carriers. Also, I've increased my army to 1-1/2 million since we last spoke." "Saints preserve us!" said Paddy. "I'll have to get back to you." Sure enough, Paddy rang again the next day. "Mr. Hussein, the war is still on! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We've modified Harrigan's ultra-light with a couple of shotguns in the cockpit, and four boys from the Shamrock Pub have joined us as well!" Saddam was silent for a minute and then cleared his throat. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 1,000 bombers and 2,000 fighter planes. My military complex is surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites. And since we last spoke, I've increased my army to TWO MILLION!" "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!", said Paddy, "I'll have to ring you back." Sure enough, Paddy called again the next day. "Top o' the mornin', Mr. Hussein! I am sorry to tell you that we have had to call off the war." "I'm sorry to hear that," said Saddam. "Why the sudden change of heart?" "Well," said Paddy, "we've all had a long chat over a bunch of pints, and decided there's no fookin way we can feed two million prisoners." more

Resolved Question: Do you know that the value of hand quilted quilts is much more than the machine quilted?

Machine pieced and quilted quilts are worth less than hand quilted quilts. My Mom made quilts for a while. She had to go to doing them on the machine, this brought down the value considerably. She made some for my sister who bought the fabric for her. I do not know what my Mom got from sister selling them. She got a piece of the money. No one could know what, I never asked. My mother had a really bad back. She had cataracts. When they were finally removed, she could not crochet as she did before. She continued quilting, but had to quit. Being able to crochet, even intricately, does not mean one is employable. It depends on a lot of things. It could be used to intimidate, bluff, blackmail, harass someone, if they were a threat in any way. It could be used to get the upper hand on someone who knows where the bodies are buried. I have only one or two of her quilts which she machine quilted; they are tattered, not worth anything monetay, but I love them. They are not worth anything but to me. I had more of her things, including the hand crocheted tablecloth which took her a long time to make.She made one for each of us. Someone took them. My Mom was very hurt that the tablecloth was taken from us. The quilts Mom made all or most of her life were used on the beds for warmth. Does this mean she was able to work. No. Making one tablecloth, does not mean anything. There is the market, the expense, the time taken and how many she could make, profit. Disabled people are allowed to earn so much money. People on welfare are allowed so much income. There is overhead expense in any production.. She could make nothing in an amount to make a living or get enough money to make her not able to work,unless someone lied to get her into trouble. Then there is the stress of knowing you are making them for other people to be considered. Poor Mom. She took care of a blind husband who needed her at home. He could not live alone. She never got to go any where. She went to town once a month. He did not like church. He did not like going much of any where. They took a lot ofhassle off people. Could he walk a straight line? He was blind, completely. About their property. Yes. They bought a farm, the farm: The pet cemetery of pet cemeteries. It was rocks, hills, not much flat land. It would have taken a fortune to clear the land. We did not have it. It had only about three acres cleared, one of those was a lot of clay mud. There would have been the rocks , thickets , trees to remove. Cut the trees, not really valuable timber, only for firewood is all. That is where we got our firewood for the rest of our lives. Pull the stumps. Pay the people to cut the trees, pay to pull the stumps, fill it in. Pay to remove the huge rocks. Pay to level some of it. Pay to till it. Pay to plant and replant for several years cover crops to combat the red clay mud. Then , there is the matter of farm equipment rental...tractors, dozers, etc. We had none. These things cost a lot to run. So...their ground was very very cheap when they bought it. It did not sell for a lot. The house was a small two story frame home with siding. It had a cistern, not a well, we carried our water from a well.. It ws home. When we left we had electricity.We did not, for many years, nor did the neighbors. This was long ago. I spent l7 years there. The balance of my life, I did not live that way, until I was forced to go back and take help from a relative who was so impoverished that the only means she had to help me was to allow me to live in a shack on her property with no running water, no ac, only wood heat, no flushing toilette. I worked for five to six hours a day, min. wage, or slightly above, very slightly, for years. It was very painful work. I didn't have the money to do anything. I would rather die than to live like that. I had committed absolutely no crime. We were like most people in that country except the ones who lived in town, or had jobs. My Mom was a minority, very bad scoliosis. DAd was blind. We did not have it "good." You might supplement your income from selling quilts. The object is to say hand quilted and pieced are worth more, and you could send them to California, or somewhere. Knitting is the same way. I can sew, limited. I burned myself out winter before last. I hurt so bad I could not stand it. So, I have to do little bits at a time. Same with this. I can hunt and peck when I do this straight typing, it hurts my chest. The piano does not bother me. I am not on disability. If I do not want to work, I do not have to, on or off. I have not filed bankruptcy. I am not wanting to work. I have had enough abuse and I feel no guilt whatsoever when I do not work. I worked my entire life, hard, on the job and off, I deserve some peace and quiet. I am not a workaholic. I worked to have money to play, have comfort, luxury. I do not understand the warI do not understand the war to drag out my illness, I do not understand forcing me to work when I am not able. I apologize for the lack of proofreading here. I have bad vision problems. I have to buy two pairs of glasses to get one. That was the way it was when I was young also. more

Resolved Question: Are vegetarians concerned with all the animals that are hurt...?

This question is for vegetarians who don't eat meat because they are opposed to the unethical treatment of animals. Are vegetarians concerned with all the animals that are hurt during the harvesting of fruits, vegetables, and grains? During harvest time, farm equipment and tractors run over at least a few deer per farm each season. Other animals, such as rabbits, get caught by the blades of the choppers. Even when animals escape unharmed, their birds nests and homes they have made in the fields are destroyed. Why is it that some vegetarians/vegans will not eat animal products based on the fact that animals were treated poorly to obtain those products, but they will eat fruits, vegetables, and grains even though animals were harmed to harvest those items as well? Just curious.The examples I used are from experience, not from cited statistics on all farms. My husband and I do custom chopping, combining, and bailing for local farms around the area. Deer and other critters do get run over and killed by combines, though we try to avoid it. We do not raise animals on the farm; we are agricultural only. more

How many unqualified people like Forsty Wooldridge are out there putting out reports on immigration and claiming they are "experts"?

Resolved Question: Question on battery trickle maintenance chargers -?

I was looking at buying a Duracell D2A 2 AMP 12V Battery Maintainer / Charger to use during cold weather months to keep a level charge on things that are not being used like the lawn tractor battery and the motorcycle battery. I have never used one of these trickly type chargers that you leave hooked up to your equipment all the time. Just wondering - do you have to disconnect the battery from machine, or can you leave the positive & negative cables from the vehicle hooked up to the battery while the trickle charger is connected and working ? I did not know if the constant positive charge going in from the slow charger would cause a problem with the vehicle's electrical system if left hooked up to the engine.

Voting Question: What happens if you work for cash and don't pay taxes?

My best friends brother works for a guy who is self employed and does construction type work.

Sometimes 1 week out of the month, sometimes 3 weeks out of a month. Here and there for about 6 years. But she's panicking because if he wants to apply for a "real" job with a "company" what will happen? Especially if he has this great experience and knowledge of equipment and stuff, how can he put that on a resume when he has not paid taxes for those years? (He's almost mid twenties now) Please any help would be great and I'll forward her the answers, or give her this link. Thanks!Okay so far very helpful, but I guess I also want to know if he tells about his working experience, wouldn't that "tell on" himself about working and not paying taxes? And also, what would he need to do to "get right" with them. That's what he wants. He really wasn't trying to cheat the system, just being young and uneducated about it all, that's all.

Wanted to be a cop for a while then a paramedic or fire fighter. But where i live it is almost impossible. Everything is in a hire freeze.

I have graduated high school and have a clean background. My High scool gpa is a 3.0 and i have been accepted in many colleges. But I want to enlist in the air force probably just for 4 yrs maybe 6. My dad is having a rough time right now cause of papaw and i am to. I don't think he understands that but I am. But I want to enlist. I go Wed to the recruiter and my mom and sister is going with me. Dad is too but he said it was stupid and a waste of time. He said he is going to wait in the car. He owns a big business with tractors and heavy equipment and wants me to take it over. I told him I will after the Air Force but he said if i go in he is going to sell it all. I really do not like working with that kind of stuff but it does make good money. But i still want to enlist and go with the air force. My question is what could i tell him before i go to make him understand. He has to know that I will come back and take it over but just to wait for me. Im not ready for it. Plz no negative feedback and nobody tell me to not listen to my parents.
