Okaaaaay, I understand...shux *as I kick a rock with my hands in my pockets* [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Becks from Saturday, August 29, 2009 9:06:49 PM) | | Becks wrote: | | LMAO yep, sorry Ron! LOL! oh and we've never played tricks on Craig, we were all in the same year at high school (so have really known each other since we were 13) so he is able to tell us apart easy. | | ron h wrote: | | Really?? Identical twins and a bagel joint is the best you can do?? | | Becks wrote: | | Actually, we did try to trick her workmates a few years ago. She was working at a bagel place while at uni, and me and Craig were visiting her. We came to the street where she worked and she said her workmates didn't know we were twins, so I wandered in to the store and was staring at the menu above the counter. The girl behind the counter was looking at me like WTF, you work here! LOL that was kinda funny. | | ron h wrote: | | Awwwwwwwwe man, I just got a fresh coke and was sitting down for some fun reading...darn!! | | Becks wrote: | | LOL yep, there is a stereo me in the world Spa. Except she lives in London where as I am here LOL!
Nah we never really tried to trick anyone, Ron. We probably could have, but didn't LOL! | | ron h wrote: | | The tricks you two could play on Craig if you wanted to
So, any cool things you two have done in the past you'd like to share??? Please...do tell... | | Becks wrote: | | That's harsh of that so called 'friend' to turf them out when they didn't get jobs straight away - it's hard at the moment to find any work! Thank goodness for CASE by the sounds of it! I love hearing happy endings
Yes Ron, I have a twin, LOL! | | spapad wrote: | | That breaks hearts. And you really can do nothing to help them most times. I would like to say that a company called CASE West Virginia just got a family off the streets.
They moved to this area to stay temporaliy with a couple of "friends" and the friends turned them out quickly as they didn't get jobs off the bat. Had CASE not helped them they would have been homeless. But due to Zella stepping in and helping them they will have an apartment at the beginng of next week and My facility hired Moma and the Dad already has a job. Thank god for Guardian Angels sometimes. | | Becks wrote: | | We saw so many beggars in Paris, it was really sad. The one I remember most was an older man sitting on the pavement, holding a sign that just said 'J'ai faim' (I'm hungry). | | spapad wrote: | | Even in Nashville you have the "homeless" the pan handlerers. It was strange, as I have not seen that since I lived in Richmond 25 years ago.
It's sad, but do these people try to do anything to improve their condition? I should shut up as that could be me with just a couple missed paychecks. | | ron h wrote: | | When I spent a week up there last September, I'd walk from the hotel to the arena/convention center on the main drag and all along the way were the homeless, sleeping in the parkway and in the crevices of the old church there...truly disheartening. I'm not sure what happened to Detroit, but it was once a mighty city with a lot to offer. I can't believe it all is a result of the auto industry as there's so much more there than just that...it's a truly sad situation that's been getting worse (if possible) rather than better... | | guidogodoy wrote: | | One word: work.
Seen Detroit's unemployment rate recently? | | ron h wrote: | | Well, you really remind me of a high school buddy of mine I call "Poncho" (real name David Ponce) and you kind'a look like him too. He's a metalhead who likes to travel as well, but he lives here next to Chicago as I do...but still he goes. I don't think I ever heard the story of why you left Detroit, but as I've been there quite often over the years I can imagine why (though I could be wrong), but why Tennessee?? It doesn't seem to fit your personality at all... | | guidogodoy wrote: | | Better question...ever wonder about my tagline and why I travel so much? | | ron h wrote: | | Is that why you live there, to show them the way?? Just teasing, but...a little parental guidance never hurt anyone | | guidogodoy wrote: | | Yeah, "dry county" I learned only means that they just sell beer. Have to drive 10 minutes away for wine or liquor. Ooooooooooo.....
Frankly, I have never seen so many young unwed mothers with no father-figure in my LIFE before moving here. | | spapad wrote: | | You might want to bring it with you just in case you end up in a dry county! LOL Guids would be better on that info than me! LOL | | ron h wrote: | | They don't sell Bacardi in Tennessee?? Well, as long as they have Guiness or at least a Budweiser | | spapad wrote: | | Dont let the skeeters get you! LOL And I assume you are talkin about a beverage incased in aluminum! LOL | | ron h wrote: | | I think I'll hang out by the pool with a tall cool one | | spapad wrote: | | I'm the bottom floor with the delux green house anex! LOL | | guidogodoy wrote: | | Oh, perfect! I am third trailer on the right! We could put Priest up in a couple on the lower side to ease their climbing burden! | | spapad wrote: | | HA!!! I found it!!! LOL
Here is Guid's and my Redneck mansions! LOL
Notice there is even a small pond in this kingdom!
