And then why close it once here and for no good reason. Makes no sense at all. I think when a thread is closed a post should be made giving the reason its being closed.
todd00, I have asked the same questions and voiced the same concerns as you.
On the news ... China is proudly announcing the pay scale in China is going up because they are doing so well. That's great news, I think. As the pay scale goes up, just maybe companies will get back to manufacturing in the USA.
The gutting of American economy that has occurred with what you write below has gone way too far. What the h ell do these company "leaders" think they will do when we have another civil war because of these actions and also dealing with other countries coming at us with attempts to take over?
Their pay scale is going up but not near what people are paid over here. The CEO's could walk away at anytime and go live in Europe or some exotic location and be set for life. And if the bottom falls in that's exactly what they will do.
Sorry I need to vent about my mother and how delusional she is about my youngest brother (her favorite). My brother has a good job and is responsible on taking care of himself but he is completely unreliable for anything else. My mother is single and in her 70's. Occasionally she needs help with something at her house. For some bizarre reason she always thinks my brother is actually going come through and help her. When he doesn't, then she has a ton of excuses for him. "Oh he must be stuck at work" or some other crap. He only lives a mile from her house. So of course he pulled another no show when she asked him to clean out a clogged gutter for her ( I live out of state now otherwise my husband would have done it for her).
A few years ago (when we still lived in the area) she was getting new carpet and was going to pay for the installers to remove the old. My brother told her the cost was a rip off and he would remove her old carpet for her. Umm ya. He never showed up. My mother called me in a panic at 10 pm the night before her new carpet was going to be installed. So my husband and I drove over to her house and spent the night tearing out her old carpet and moving furniture. Man, I was pissed. I was already in my jammies and ready to go bed. I was not in the mood for ripping out carpet and moving furniture. Of course mom had a ton of excuses for my brother. I get a mother's love, I am a mom too but come on. How many times does she have to get burned?
Maybe when no one comes to bail her out, she will see her son more clearly as just a talker.
The story of Diane Tran being thrown in jail makes me mad too. The change.org petition had 40k signatures when I signed it today. Please read the story and sign the petition. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1549160.html
The neighbor reported me to the police! They opened their pool last week and said that they found debris from my yard in the pool filter. I had a little party in the yard at the end of April--maybe a mylar balloon?
If the pool was covered until last weekend, how did my junk end up in the filter? They called the police? Really? I've lived next door to these people for nine years!
