    stress caused by work

    I am an electrician and work alongside ironhead's, pipe fighter's, boilermaker's, etc. I used to not mind my job too much but over the years you are forced to wear more and more ugly, heavy, useless safety equipment and there are so many safety rules a 10 minute job can take an hour. I weigh...

    Reply to Mr. Black Velvet.

    Go ahead and read it, it's worth your time. :) Here goes: You try to help people and they get up on their high horse over e-mail. Now you wonder if it was a good idea to try to reach out to them because they seem too darn pig-headed to learn. It's hard to get people to listen - let alone...

    why am i getting carded, i am half dead from old age

    You say you want to see my ID before you'll sell me a pack of marlboro red's? I was born on earth in 1956 but I lived forever. I am the alpha and the omega. I have seen God reach out and seize an exploding lightning bolt. When the dust cleared there was the blue beautiful earth left...

    silly things people do

    I know it's hard to admit you did something silly. Therefore I will start with me. I was about to go to bed upstairs when Sara came down and informed me of the presence of a big-ass wolf spider near my bed. First I laid up there in fear. My thoughts reeled as I imagined waking up groggily...

    identifying tinted or coated bottles

    I sometimes use clear nail polish inside stubbornly chalky bottles when nothing else works - but I don't sell bottles. If a bottle for sale looks too good to be true or if you want to check and make sure the color is legit you can use your nose. They retain a really obvious paint smell. You...

    fraud

    Do you have a friend that invested in the stock market and made a killing? Me too. So I decided to try it. I got a book about the stock market and it said that you should only buy stock when it had gone up in price for quite some time. I investigated ABC company for hours every day for a...

    Miracle Cures

    Do you find yourself having trouble paying attention? Stumbling into walls? Have you fallen and can’t get up? Maybe it’s time for you to try Electromax Tonic Water from General Pills Co. and put the ram back in your rod. Doctors don’t want you to know about it! Imbued with natures...

    Hi!

    Hi everybody, did you miss me? Sorry I haven't been around, I've been in rehab. Anyway, as all you smart people know, some people make videos on you tube and eventually Youtube pays them to make more because of the quality entertainment they brings to the table. Here's some good ones to check...

    Jeremy and Vince work at Wal-mart. When Wal-mart managers are bored they review their surviellance videos. The manager sees this same kid, Vince, steal food repeatedly, saunter casually back to shipping/recieving, and eat his lunch. The manager was able to determine from the tapes that Vince...

    Fake bitters

    I would like to know how anyone could bid on a bitters on e-bay and be confident it wasn't a fake or repro of some kind, because it seems like a lot of people are passing these off as the real thing.

    fakes

    I was checking out bitter's bottles on e-bay and I realized that most of them are reproductions. It seems to me that some sellers are trying to pass them off as real. Does anyone buy bitter's off e-bay, and how can you really know what you are bidding on with so many fakes?

    Cleaning Demo

    Today I am going to clean a really sick bottle. Minerals have leached into the glass. The pro's refer to this as etching. First I fill the bottle with water so I can see where the worst areas are on the outside. That way I won't be wasting time working on areas that don't need it. OK, now I...

    What is this?

    I am digging up a farm implement in the woods, but I don't know what it is. I was hoping someone could help me out.. I uploaded a few different pictures of what I've un-dug so far, if anyone could shed some light on what this is, that would be great.
