I don't have to do anything.... I just get an extra sum at the end of each month. It is all going into my retirement package anyhow.. so I guess I will not be able to spend it.. yet.

Holy Shit man.. I am sorry. It was all a joke.. I did not mean to talk about money in front of you.. I mean I saw all those starving people in Cleveland on the news.. I mean I can spare the amount of a cup of coffee a day to help the poor souls of OHIO... you know.. I heard that there are still people there that remember what it was like to have jobs!!! Do you know any of them?

Yeah.. I know. Alot of my family worked for J&L in the Tri-State area. I have alot of family in Pittsburgh.. they are all jobless alcoholics too.
Man.. I have not been there in a long time.. but I remember when they were shutting them down.. I was just a kid. I knew it was gonna change everything. It did that.. people who have never been there of any amount of time have no idea.
69muscle... I am still aiming for 6.50's... but that does not mean I cannot put together another motor. That car is NHRA rated to go in the 5's

That's great dballer -- what do you do if I may ask?

i'm right in between pittsburgh and cleveland... right in the heart of the depression.. it wasn't just back then that the plants closed.. the steel mill 10 miles down the road from house just shut down a year ago.. 3000 jobs gone.. the other one up in cleveland just went under a year ago as well.. 5000 jobs there.. and both left thousands of retirees with no pension.. now a few of the car companies are closing down two of the plants in the area.. another 2000-5000 jobs there..
alcoholism has always been high.. there's a bar every 100 yds.. smoking is the highest in the country (but that's more due to the fact that the area is just filled with a bunch of ignorant ass factory workers).. youngstown is always fighting with garry, indiana for the top spot on murder rate per capita in the country.. gotta dumbass fucking representative who brings nothing but shame to the area yet he really does represent the majority of the stupid fucking factory/mill workers in the area as he has the exact same mentality..
*side note* - i'm not sure about those job numbers - but i'm sure they're close to that..

Machine... I work for a web development company. We do consulting and we also do wireless PDA programs for builders.
Decm.. I am not sure if you are very familiar with Pittsburgh.. but I was born on the southside.. I lived in Castle Shannon and Brookline/Beachview area. Not a pretty place.

You do? That's not what I expected. I figured you for a high-dollar car customizer kinda guy...
dballer said:
Congrats. But I bet you are. As you begin to make more cash, you'll realize there is so much more you can do with it, and work gets kind of fun.

Decem... 54K is a TON of cash. I know you are not that old are you? I think you should save up and retire early too.
Project.. I always figured me as a car kinda guy.. and I used to be.. but I have a bad temper and I do not like to work on other people's cars.. that is unless I want to. So the whole car thing is kinda out for me. So I got a boring job. I would really like to work at some kind of mill or for a logging company.
Matt... thanks. I build drag cars.. so I know there is TONS of stuff to do with the money.. but I want to retire really bad.. so I gots to save all of it.

poke fun if you like.... but it's gettin me by just dandy for now.. i'm happy... and content when it comes to money matters... and i like what i do and how i do it....
plus.. it's so much better to have friends and family see you in a shirt and tie rather than a cum-stained bib and cruddy blue jeans with the knees worn out.. don't ya think??
you keep the jeans, the dirty knees, and the cash....
i'll keep my pride..

Ok.. it is cool. I just want you to know.. I grew up there... all of my Dad's family worked for JL Steel.. I was a kid when my old man got me out of there.. but I remember it.
I wanted you to know I am not poking fun at you and how hard you try... just the whole way of life up north.. it is just alot diffrent than it is down here... not that it is bad. Trust me.. GA is not Atlanta... you go about 40 miles out of Sodom and there is still morals and ethics. I live on a farm.. 45 miles outside the city.

Hey - do your thing. As you accumulate more though, you'll see you can move markets and influence the way a certain product or service is sold or marketed.
Are you over $250K/year?

boy.. you got that right.. about it being different..
i lived in s.c. for a few years.. and moved back and forth to fl a few times while i was growing up.. and it's definitely different up north..
actually.. i've lived quite a few places.. including honolulu, san diego, san fran, sc, tampa, ohio, etc etc..
btw.. i too live on a farm (or so i did growing up.. now i live two houses down)... 45 mile or so out of cleveland.. but only 17-20 miles out of y-town unfortunately.. granted.. it aint a big farm.. 150 acres or so.. got 7 horses.. bail hay every summer.. etc etc.. and there really is an astounding difference in the ethics/morals... really the way of life altogether. unfortunately.. this equates to some not so good aspects of the culture.. i.e. racism, gay bashing, etc etc.. but in some aspects it is good.. ie. families actually sitting down to a home cooked meal every day.. honest children... people who know and care about what their children are doing.. etc etc..
where the fuck was i going with this??
sorry.. i'm tired..
