That's funny, you started a 10 page thread looking for a belayer. Maybe you should work at E-harmony.

Just trying to lighten the mood a little.

Fer real I believe all the stuff I said. I don't know maybe technology/the future/feelings of lack of control/the way I was reared intimidates me and I long for simpler days. Trying to digest everything that has gone on in the last couple of years is too much for me. I am a fairly simple guy. I'm almost renaisance in my thinking. I just feel so overwhelmed. When you guys start talking like I'm being silly, I know you're wrong, or at least I think you are and I hope I'm wrong.
I was once told the difference between reacting to a problem and responding to one. reacting is "knee jerk", responding is calculated. I am as calculated as I can be. It doesn't help when I post something and I'm blown off like I haven't researched what I'm saying. I feel my data is accurate. When I'm given a bar graph of the HISTORY in response to or told that if I was so smart about the future I should have seen this thing coming and should have taken some sort of personal responsibility for being caught in an industry that retracted overnight! That smarts!
Look, I'm actually scared about the future, I have a child due in two months. I have a three year old and I've been on unemployment for six months. Who wouldn't be scared! The situation is not getting better either. Both sides are just pissing at each other.
So please don't be upset at me because I don't believe you that everything is going to be alright. I believe I'll eat. I don't think the goverment is going to feed me. I'll do it myself.

Strip mall in Dry Ridge? The reason it's 70% vacant is people quit going to outlet malls. It has nothing to do with the overall economy.

Not that I'd suggest anyone else consider this but, If I were a construction worker in the current environment I just might be tempted to draw unemployment while doing odd jobs, remodels, etc., and being payed off the books. All the while I'd be looking for "real" work, possibly in a field other than construction, so as to get back on the tax rolls as soon as possible.

Hope I'm wrong, but I don't think the economy will recover until construction recovers, and that might be a while yet, 2011 at the earliest. Like I said, hope I'm wrong.

:lol: :lol: :lol: That is very interesting. Clevis thought I might have taken that all personally and challenged someone to fight. All of that was never on a personal level for me. About the Christian thing, I do not want to be thought of as anti-Christian. I accept the criticism and am modifying my behavior. Can I help you in any other way pigsteak? I think you have elbow tendinitis from all the pot-stirring you do online. :? The thicker it gets the harder you stir.
You try awfully hard not to be anti-christian for an atheist. I think you might be a fake atheist.

Are you out of your mind! It's a joke,right?


You can't drink gasoline. In fact you could go you whole life and never use another drop of it. Now water, thats a different story...

Aren't you circumspect about defining yourself with a negative? It keeps you in the trenches.
