[DJD]

I wish I knew half of what you know...guess I need to start watching more of "Professor Beck" and his chalkboard aint got time for this bull$#@ no more. Gotta get ready for my Wildcats....GO BIG BLUE.......and remember...."Have your Republican spayed or neutered!!!....back to your padded cell Mr. Beck..and make room for Rush, Sean,Sarah, BillO, and Michelle....... I bet you're a Louisville fan too......tell me it aint so.:-/:-/

LOL I don't watch Beck but I would watch him over most shows that are made for political junk. Me a louisville fan? Yeah I do like them but also like UK and always pull for the GATORS!!!
I'm pulling for the Cats tonight.

Actually you have shown that you support anything the old Dem controlled Congress did and Obamy did as always right. So you support trillions of debt by them and every new tax possible huh? Everyone in this country deserves to be middle class? You can just sukk off the gubment teet forever? The recent elections proves your a minority in your thinking. The true middle class is waking up and finally flexing their muscles and much to your dismay Sarah Palin had alot to do with it. Yep I tossed that name out just for you.... Politicians love blind dedication to their ideals so I'm sure your on their A list.

Myself like many others on here can have varied opinions that don't fall in line with how their party of choice preaches. I'm an independant (registered Repub) with Conservative beliefs. If this state had a better system of allowing Indy's to vote I would have stayed Indy. I'm not 100% on board with what the GOP has done in the past and the same goes for the Dems.

Every american should question an increase in taxes. Why not? Thats the american way is it not? We have a freedom of choice and for the most part we can say what we want in this country. We should question why we are in debt up to our ears, we should question why this POTUS has done what he has done while in office. To this day folks still act as if George Bush ruined this country and yet the POTUS and his old Congress has done more financial damage then GW but BO gets a pass from liberal koolaid drinkers. Go figure...

As far as the war goes.... How many dates and timelines to withdraw troops or end the war did the american people hear from BO duing his campaign? Remember how he would get the crowds fired up spewing that garbage? How many have stayed true? How many dates have passed? He promised the world to us and delivered what? So does that now mean the Liberals support the war? We are still there...either he doesn't know what he is talking about or he is full of it. After all the POTUS supports the wars, the old Dem controlled congress supported it so that means you support it?? Right??

No deaf ears here Parker....just folks that want answers and if that means we have to bounce ideas off others so be it. Take note you might learn something just take your hands off your ears and open your eyes. I actually like hearing the views of the left...I don't always agree but I'm smart enough to know there other views out there.

For someone who is a carpenter I wouldnt think you would have enough time to visit a favorite web site multiple times a day. That right there is why you cant compete with organized labor , tooo much idle time during your day. Just saying.

Pretty good response Don...all of those tools and equipment allows a person to be productive anytime and anywhere. The flip side of this coin (and drawback) is that all of those tools and equipment allow a person to be productive anytime and anywhere.

Excellent point! And on a related note, I like days when I can work from home, but I'm also very glad that there are some parts of my job that require me to be onsite with my hands on the hardware. If I could do it all from home, then somebody else could do it from Mumbai for 1/10 the pay.

I ain't never worked from home...well at least not with anything that had to do with a computer anyway....sometimes (once in a blue moon) I might have to work on specifications at home, but very seldom. Some guys can work from home better than they can when they go to work at their office or whatever, but that's not for me....home is my place of refuge, once I'm home I'm done.

One things for sure....no matter what line of work any of us are in, it ain't getting any easier.

I work every night from home.......and officially work probably 20 - 25% of my hours from home.

Working from home is the only time I get a break from the 10-20 calls a day from Developers. I also generally don't utilize Instant Messaging at home either, which definitely allows me to focus on stuff that I NEED to get done.

As a support person, I have to deal with phone calls and developers, and support issues all the time, but also as a support person I must deal with critical system upgrades, etc, etc. THOSE require lots of thought and it is very hard to gather your thoughts when you're constantly switching gears on support calls.........

I really like working at home..........

Later,

Geo

Careful DJD.....rednecks are union supporters. Term originated in the battle of Blair Mountain in W. VA. Ineresting stuff.....here is a link to the story of Blair Mountain:

http://www.glendale.edu/chaparral/apr05/blair.htm

Here is an excerpt from the text:

Most miners had taken to wearing blue bib overalls and tying around their necks a red bandana which soon became the hallmark of the insurgent army, leading both friends and foes to refer to them as “rednecks.”

Over 1 million rounds were fired and the coal operators used airstrikes with surplus WWI bombs.

You don't want to be known as a union sympathizer do you ???

[DJD]

Lol times change so I'm safe with that term. been called redneck too many times and I'm quite certain it was for my views or actions. Nuttin about unions or miners... at least I hope not!!!
Very interesting stuff!!!

I got a beagle hound thats smarter than he is..

The correct way to state in a sentence how smart your Beagle hound is would be as follows; "I own a Beagle Hound that's smarter than he is."

Heck fire Kid, from some of the examples I have witnessed I could go so far as to write that I have a German Short Haired Pointer that's smarter than some union members I have encountered. But I won't do that....although I do own a German Short Hair Pointer, I don't see how man's best friend has a dog in this fight persay.
