I want to hear more about this, why they needed someone to count furniture every hour. Were students stealing it?

Let the Bengals fans donate since they were the team Tua was playing against when he got carted off the field tonight.

An FB friend posted about their son being on one of the power crews sent down to help repair. He’ll make about $20K for two weeks worth of work, doing 16 hours days every day.

Thankfully I never did that, but I did have a pallet of toilets break when I was putting it away. Working at a store similar to Home Depot called Builders Square, KMarts attempt to get into that sector of retail. Going to put a pallet of toilets up on the rack (the lift I was using did look like the one in the video) as the forks got up past my eye level, I saw the pallet did not look very safe, so I started lowering it back down. Once it got about 2-3 feet off the ground, the boards broke, dropping all these toilets on the concrete floor. Had to open every box and inspect them to see which might have survived the short fall.

It's Sharknado!!!!

You broke my screen!!!!

Another summer in college, I worked in a papermill. Started out in Maintenace as a painter, but they needed help on one of the machines called a rewinder. Working there was shift work with more pay, so I took it. A rewinder is just what it sounds like. We'd take the large rolls of paper, put them on the machine and look for defects to be cut out, then splice the roll back together. I was a helper, not the operator, so my job was going to pick the rolls from the warehouse to be done, once they went through the machine, take the roll over to the wrapping station, then put it on a pallet and back to the warehouse. Plus, the rewinder I was on, was the only one in an air-conditioned part of the building (other than offices) because we were doing specialty paper. It's also the job where I got certified for forklift, scissors lift, and boom lift. I managed to get the forklift up on two wheels going around a corner my first day. While the operator was checking a roll, he told me to go get one of the junk rolls and just practice driving around with it. Well, as I kept practicing, I started going faster and faster. Eventually I was going around a corner, and once the forklift straightened back out, I felt the wheels on one side hit the concrete. Luckily it was 3rd shift (overnights) so there wasn't anyone around that saw it.

High school (14-15 years old) I worked for an engineering company that would design how the stop lights and timing would be done at intersections. At first, I was just office cleaning, but during the summer they would have me help out doing other things like getting orders together and putting together parts. I was even given a few old stoplights that had been replaced with newer ones. Wish I still had them. A couple summers during college, I worked for a seed company, Northrup King, where I would go around to the retail locations (grocery, department, hardware) that sold the product, make a final inventory of the remaining seed packets, then box them and the display up to be sent back to the company. I was given a rental cargo van, weekly per diem, etc. This was before cell phones were prevalent, so each day you would find a pay phone- and call-in what stores you did, their final counts, and if you had a shipment going back, what trucking company you used. We got to keep what little per diem we did not use, so I'd keep a cooler in my van and just buy food for my meals, instead of going to restaurants. Sleeping in rest areas along the highway, or sometimes sneak into campgrounds late at night, grab a quick shower in the morning, then leave.

The old hometown looks the same As I step down from the train And there to meet me is my mama and papa Down the road I look and there runs Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherries It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

She's got eyes of the bluest skies As if they thought of rain I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place Where as a child I'd hide And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by Whoa, oh, oh Sweet child o' mine

Mama, put my guns in the ground I can't shoot them anymore That long black cloud is comin' down I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Fake news... In Canada, there's three types of screwdrivers, Philips, Flat, and Square head. They love that square head.

Here I am again in this mean old town And you're so far away from me And where are you when the sun go down? You're so far away from me

I'll be at the Philly game this weekend, it's "Boys Weekend" with all my brother in laws. Some of you met them in 2019 when the Eagles came to Buffalo. So far I have not seen an Eagles win in Philly since I started going there in 2018.

Oh almost paradise We're knockin' on heaven's door Almost paradise How could we ask for more? I swear that I can see forever in your eyes Paradise oh, sorry, wrong thread...
