Here's an article from a magazine that hit my desk last week, and in that same magazine an ad from a certain electrical contractor who's going out and getting him some instead of sitting around:

How does this jive with this ,.from a link I posted,.. and an add for a service is just that an add,..beats sitting around,.. as you say but it is not work..

......a change in construction codes in New York City accounted for the increase in
housing starts and permits in the Northeast. If it were not for the change, total housing starts
would have fallen 4.0% according to the Census Bureau

No, it is a representation of the action required to gain work. A man without work needs to spend that same 8 hours a day that he would have been working looking for work. Either that, or move to where he knows there is work. In much the same manner, a business with work slacking off needs to advertise more, expand into new markets, or close and relocate elsewhere. For instance, I've never installed a water treatment system in my life but maybe we will soon.

Have you seriously not taken the 2 minutes it takes to Google this same information up from the Commerce Department?

Why should I? You made the claim, back it up.

You post here regularly, I may not believe most of what you post but there are others here that may believe and I think out of courtesy you should provide back up to your statements.

Let the house get foreclosed on???????? Is wife supposed to just quit her county job, loose retirement, insurance and follow me around the country. I'm 57 years old and NEVR have I rented and do not intend to start now. Sounds like you should be a politician

Because you seem so interested. The data is available as a PDF or an Excel file, for your viewing pleasure. You're just being your normal contrary self.

Okay, I'm impressed, great substantiation. (I still don't know where it is):)

BTW, you didn't have a high taxi bill today did you? :grin:

I really could care less about your wife, but just don't try to pretend like you don't have options. A man I know, who formerly ran a small mom n pop gas station, closed up shop and now collects scrap metal and takes it to the recycle places and makes more than he made running his little store.

It really seems like the only one you do care about is yourself. That's okay but you really need some sensitivity lessons. Group hug-- I think Marc needs it.:smile:

I have options and I am working, Just not for a company I wish to be with. Just collecting a pay check and still looking.
 
Marc, it may be time for you to go to bed, the forum will be here tomorrow.

I'll leave this alone now.

I did and I don't understand it ,..are you his father or something ??

No, not his father, just thinking Marc may need to sleep it off.

BTW, I included the grin as a sarcastic comment.

It sounds like Marc had a really bad day. Maybe he inhaled too much VapoRub. The cure is a hug from Iwire to make him feel better. :)
