ElkGunner, Naturally I bought the kids the gameboys, winter days are long, road trips are boring , it gives them something to do when we visit people without kids and there is down time. Out in the sticks , too often there isn't anything productive to do as far as play with cornfields all...
Yeah and as soon as they start to draw and create a sale situation, the markets crash or devalue rapidly and the rest of the 401Kers money goes away , plus, I believe, the rest of the money the Baby boomers have in their 401K's unless of course they draw it all at once, which would make the...
Someone write this down...
By 2005 or 2006 the number of Baby Boomers retiring and the number of Generation Xers entering the work force will become imbalanced. There will be more retirees than replacements this will start causing a glut of unfilled jobs estimates are 12 million by 2008...

Wives seldom understand what is truly needed. You need to remind her how lucky she is to have a man like you. Pat her on the head and tell her that if you wanted an opinion from her you would have given it to her , and then run for your life!
I'd be tickled sh!tless if my kid played softball instead of gameboy. Atlest he'd be outside in the sunshine and fresh air which is a lot more healthy than sitting inside. Said as I sit in front of this computer with daybreak happening 30 minutes ago. But hey! It's raining so quit picking on me...

Well, I was going to go that route but when I logged on after your first post I figured the thread was dead so I didn't even open it :D
$5 - $20 depending on how quick witted the wait- person is. Bonus points if they can zing...
Gunner you touched upon a key point to all this, THEY CHOOSE THEIR PROFESSION. They make the life choices just like you and I do. I take lots of risk when I could go get a 9-5 in an office and double what I do now. I don't choose to though, my bad. Same thing with teachers, biggest difference is...

The NRA topics die for reasons unknown to me either , thousands of dollars spent begging for more money when they could probably do just as well without the...
yeah but if Republicans weren't so closed minded, where would we be? a one party system?
I applaud your efforts because the ATV riding fat assed dam breaching salmon stuff was stale after the second year of it.

Shoot Gunner , sorry I missed the link there.Guess they should be colored. I started reading a piece of Bullchit I knew belonged in the joke forum and just did a knee-jerk reaction.
Please next time, tell us if it's real or not, it's so hard to tell with what you post.
