Post all absences here

Jonathan will be absent while his family is sick. I will be NPCing him in his absence. Our thoughts go with you.

Andrew (GM)

Absence due to storms.

Sorry I've not been able to post, my grandma is not doing good. I have to go sit again this morning. Sorry I failed to post earler when I thought I would be able to. I might be away this coming week. I might be able to post tonight but the rest of the week I might be with my grandma and mom.

From the 13th through the 20th I'll be one house, moving and cleaning the old house, I'll do my best to post at least every other day.

Thanks guys.

Oler....you focus on family and come back wben ready.

Johnathan....all good

  Just a heads up I started a new job. Went from grunt at one company to second in charge at my new company. So over the next little bit I might take a little longer to post things.

Slackers! ROFLMAO!

Just an update while we thought Grandma would pass she has improved the last couple of days. I still need a few more days as it is a very stressful time, thank you.

No problem....family first.

Combat is over for now so posting is a little more relaxed now

Sorry for my lack of posting I'm in the middle of painting one house packing the other and moving, basically working about 14 hours a day. The storage pod and cable will be at the new place Wednesday until then this will be my last chance to post.

Ok

Sorry AO RL had me on the ropes fora few days but I rolled a crit and slayed the evil RL Dragon.

Real life can suck....just try let me know

I'll be out Friday to Sunday - should be back and posting Monday

I'll be gone for the next three days I'll be back on Wednesday and will post then

Just to let everyone know that between the 26th of dec and the 19th of jan I will only have limited phone access, so my posts may be shorter or delayed a bit

Sorry for the delay folks I'm at the end of a 2 year project trying to finish up a Kalahari water park resort. It'a like a great wolf lodge. and we are trying to hit the deadline for completion. So it's 12 hour days 6 to 7 days a week thank God it will be over by the middle of next month.

That sounds like a bunch of OT pay to me. *whistles while going to the bank*

I'm the superintendent so I'm salary and that sucks. no overtime just a lot of free work

In reply to Jonathan (msg # 20):

Ouch, that sucks! At least you get paid more than the rest! ;-)

Ya last years 8,000 dollar bonus took some of the sting out of being salaried.

And I'm sure there are slow times where you can go home early and get paid for it. :)

yes indeed

In reply to Jonathan (msg # 24):

In my 28 years in the workforce, I was always hourly, lower middle class, upper lower class.

I'd have to say that I'm middle lower class. I'm not on welfare, but I'm a scrapper. There are times when I do the same work, but get paid different depending on the prices of metal at the time.

In reply to Nino (msg # 26):

Ooooh, the price of scrap varies continually. That means you work hard for little a lot of the time. Sometimes you get rewarded decent, but not enough of the time. I've known many scrappers over the years.

I'd have to say that I make most of my money right now handing in Catalytic Converters from cars, when I get them. I let them sit until I get a truck load of them.

In reply to Nino (msg # 28):

Yup, the metal inside them, used to be platinum, not sure now. scrapping cars for their weight, with all of the other stuff in them, the wiring and everything, a lot of work cleaning them up.

Yep. I take out the radiator, heater cores and wiring, along with wheels, if they're aluminum and batteries. I drain the gas tank and dump the fuel in my fork lift. Then I stuff the car with all sorts of junk metal to give it more weight and then I wait for metal prices to go up.

In reply to Nino (msg # 30):

Wish I could give you some work, got a van that needs junked, but you don't live here in PA. I'm not knowledgeable enough about it, and frankly, too damn lazy, to do it myself! ;-)

Yeah, that's a bit far for me. I live in California.

In reply to Nino (msg # 32):

Hehehehehehehehehe, just a bit out of the neighborhood!

There is so much junk lying around here that I don't need to leave California. I just need a bigger yard to store more. I can drive around my town and find at least 5 water heaters a day next to the curb. All I have to do is stop and load it in the back of the truck.

In reply to Nino (msg # 34):

Surprised your neighbors don't bitch. I know you're fenced in to hide everything.

Nino, don't say that too loud or you might have a visit from those wacko California environmentalists who think everything is wrong.

Where at in Cali. I live in Texas now but was born raised and spent most of my life around the OC with a board under me. I actually lived in a suburb of LA. called Norwalk.

I'm in the county with lots of sand around me. Not many neighbors would complain. If they did, I would put a tarp over the cars until they are taken to recycler.

Indio, California.

My little sister lives in Beaumont, and I've got family all around lake Isabella

I drive past Beaumont at least 2x a month going to the crusher.

that's ironic....i am NOWHERE near Beaumont.

The flaw of living in australia

In reply to AO (msg # 41):

GM lives in OZ!??

yep....melbourne.

That's why my posts are out of sync with most of you....when your awake I am asleep (unless I am on night shifts....nursing is great for that)

In reply to AO (msg # 43):

Ahhh, a nurse, thank you for being a brave soul. I served in the army 8 years. Gotto respect anyone that serves others!

My respect is aimed back at you for your service. My brother in law is also a military man and has had some hard times. Its great that they banded together and helped him and his unit in his hard time

Hey guys. Just letting you all know that the next few days or so may be a bit quiet.

My daugher was hospitalised yesterday and found to have microfractures in several of her vertabrae. She is ok and home but gotta keep an eye on her a bit

That sucks my friend.  I hope she's going to be ok.  Take your time we will be here when you have the time to come back.

thanks. I will have time every day but may be a day or two extra between posts while in combat

Gives little girl some beef jerkey.

Don't worry about us, my friend.  Family comes first

Ugh! Yes, take the time you and she need.

I'll be vacationing tomorrow until Aug 2

no problem

Have fun Sonori.

I will be gone from this Friday for a little over a week until the second Monday.

No problem

 With the caveat that it could happen before the date I am giving. I will be missing most likely from the 15th through the 18th at least due to birth of my last kid.

No probs....and congrats

  Thanks.

Congrats on the newborn! :D

In reply to Quinn (msg # 60):

I know because we are both making sure it is our last one surgically.

In reply to Yacob Stoneveins (msg # 62):

Lolololololololol, Spay and neuter! How many kids you have Yacob?

In reply to Quinn (msg # 63):

8

In reply to Yacob Stoneveins (msg # 64):

Oh my God, that is a lot of kids! God Bless you! My wife and I were blessed with 4 legged children, none with 2 legs. He had other plans for us.

8 kids? Holy Cow.

In reply to Nino (msg # 66):

You know I hear that all the time. If I could bottle the lightning I could corner the market on IFV and put that guess work out of business. Promise to get pregnant, just no promises to term.
