Any more chance at some private furniture sales?

On the up-side, maybe he can build you some shelves now. <g>

Wish y'all were closer. I have a major carpentry job that needs doing.
Maybe he can find some private repair or remodeling jobs?

A one egg omelet?

A one egg omelet would probably actually meet dietary guidelines and
standard portion size vs. the typical 4 egg omelet of doom which is
contributing the the obesity problem.

How about the poster "of doom which is contributing the the" literacy
problem?
Eggs are not the reason for obesity, rather it is mostly sloppiness
and lack of self discipline, the kind displayed in your post.

--Bryan

I didn't say that egg specifically was contributing to obesity, I
indicated that absurd portion sizes were. If your literacy is so poor
that you couldn't understand that, then you're pointing out another
contributing factor, people too stupid to read and comprehend nutrition
information.

What you have sounds fine; the original Fettuccini Alfredo was
merely pasta, parm and butter. Peas would only help it a lot.
Then you have an omelet of bacon, onion and egg for breakfast.
Save the garlic
for a celebration. Use the salt/pepper gleefully on everything.

This post saddens me!!!
How come your BUM!!! can't get a job?!?
Andy

------------------------------------------------------
I really would like you to visit Detroit or in fact any city here in
Michigan and make this statement to any individuals face who has stood
in line for hours before daybreak for a few jobs @ the opening of a new
Wally World whose factory packed up and left overseas to avoid paying
union wages and insurance.

I like you to make this statement to MANY graduate college students who
come in to the family restaurant where my B/F works to put in
applications for ANY job opening because they are hungary & the illegals
have taken over the higher paying positions with college being paid for
by the government thus lowering starting salaries by hiring these people
making it impossible for the average AMERICAN citizen to make a living.

You would probably be shot right between your eyes.

illegals are getting scholarships paid for by 'the government?' i
call [censored].

Financial aid is generally not available for undocumented students and
illegal aliens. The majority of all student aid, including Federal
student aid, requires the recipient to be a US citizen or permanent
resident (green card holder) or an eligible non-citizen. There are,
however, a few states that allow undocumented students to qualify for
in-state tuition rates. There are also several private scholarships
available to undocumented students.

<http://www.finaid.org/otheraid/undocumented.phtml>

illegals are mostly cleaning toilets and such, and i'm quite sure
those jobs are open to any u.s citizen willing to work for less than
minimum wage and being threatened with deportation if they should be
rash enough to complain about it. that they are taking 'higher paying
positions' from grad students is laughable.

your pal,
blake

Sheesh, what an [censored]. God will have no mercy on you, son.

Maybe he works in an industry that slows down certain times of
the year and otherwise works his ass off the rest of the year.

And you just crawled out from under WHAT ROCK?!? Fidiot!

That's the best you can do, asshat?

Andy and kili are chat friends and he was just joshing her. Those of us who
know her know how tight the construction/carpentry job market is where kili
lives. Andy knows, or at least I thought he did.

Hubby's been out of work, so I have to use up what we have - going to the

bacon
(only) 1 egg
about 1/2 cup of a block of parmesan cheese that I can shred

Oh, and peas! I have frozen peas. Sometimes restaurants add that to the

Any thoughts, suggestions? Do you think this will work?

I agree, Blake. There are people everywhere who want to shift the
blame. In this case, unemployed legals are looking down on employed
illegals who took jobs they wouldn't take.

If they won't work for less than $$, then the job is open to someone
who is willing to work at that salary and don't cry a river about "job
stealing". Jobs are taken, not stolen.

For over 20 years, I was a partner in a landscaping company and our
employees were Hispanic. It would have been nice to hire people who
spoke English, people we could easily converse with, but they never
applied. It is hard to give a job to someone who does not want it. This
is why we will never get rid of "illegals" in the US. The Hispanics do
not work cheap, either. Our starting wage, for someone to mow grass was
$9.00 per hour, which is higher than minimum wage.

We keep talking about "legals" and "illegals". Our workers had social
security cards or green cards, every one of them. I can not guarantee
the SS cards were legit, but we paid our taxes quarterly.
