The Flea Trap / Re: Blazor
July 10, 2018, 04:17:48 PMMost people I know here are also living paycheque to paycheque. Even earning, say, double the minimum wage doesn't leave much left over, as cost of living in the big city is high.

Is that the flashing red light at the back IHJ?
What is the purpose of that device?
I've heard it called Fred, for 'flashing red end device.'
It's necessity it self explanatory. Any motorized form of transport requires at least basic lighting for visibility, especially at night, and Fred fulfills that requirement since no more caboose!

July 10, 2018, 03:16:39 AMI use to think I never wanted to be rich, I just wanted to be a normal working man. Now I realize I should of dreamed bigger, because living paycheck to paycheck sucks, and Im living below "normal" standards. I just want enough now so that I can easily pay my bills, have enough to fall back on in the event of something happening, and be able to take a decent vacation once a year. Im in my 40s, I should be living better than I am by now.Quote from: "Blazor"
Have you considered freelancing?
A couple of guys on a couple of ground crews that I regularly work with do just this... They'll pick up some freelance weekend work, most likely for cash money off the books, I would imagine.
Also consider employers, which may not be so easy to switch around to if one is in a small town (the reason I stay in the big shitty for now), but I can speak from first-hand experience that there are a few employers left that pay properly, although not many... Unionized is generally best, if you can get in.

July 10, 2018, 02:40:30 AMYou see, I rolled late into the night, like until midnight at least, since I like to sleep in. Roads are quiet. Lone American scale house dude is alone too, and probably bored also.
He just wanted to talk, and thought a rare white Canadian might be OK to talk with! Understand that the large majority of drivers that run long haul into the US from Canada are East Indians. It's just the way it is, and I cannot stop this.
He pulled me in more than once, and was a funny guy! First thing he asked me, in a mild Southern accent... "How come you guys keep sending us down all yer Hin-Dews!"
Hindu's (actually most are Sikh, but whatever). HIN-DEWS!
I liked the guy, and he liked me, but unfortunately I was never able to give him an actual reason why "I" was sending down 'all our HIN-DEWS!'

This is how I am...
I get bored sometimes with my job, as I do nothing but drive dirt around in circles. I think of the dumbest, childest shit to amuse myself with.
Turning onto David St. in Coquitlam today, I had the dumbest thought in my mind... Now what was it again...

You weren't aware?
Adolf "Adi" Dassler (3 November 1900 – 6 September 1978) was a German cobbler and entrepreneur who founded the German sportswear company Adidas, and the younger brother of Rudolf Dassler, founder of Puma.Quote
With the rise of Adolf Hitler in the 1930s, both Dassler brothers joined the Nazi Party, with Rudolf reputed as being the more ardent National Socialist.

The Guest Nest / Re: Renee....let's do it in here.
July 10, 2018, 01:46:18 AMWhat are you talking about, most of your daily needs are cheaper than Canada if you know where to look. I mean PV.Quote from: "Velvet"
Been to three ports in Mexico. Found beer priced practically the same as what I'd pay here close to the port, and the further I walked and drank, the price became lower, and lower and lower... For the same beer. This is one example I use, as it's been proven to myself. I cannot comment on many other items, as I didn't purchase much else other than a couple of T-Shirts.
But as I've stated... There starts to become a limit as to how far one really wants to walk into 'genuine' Mexico. It can become a fucking shithole pretty fast. You'd only see this if you trekked far enough outta port.
THAT's what I'm talking about!

The Flea Trap / Re: The Asian that lives in the townhouse...
July 10, 2018, 01:25:08 AMAsians avoid manual labour. It's a cultural thing.Quote from: "Velvet"
Not always... Have worked with one Asian construction labourer a couple months back. A rarity, but occasionally seen.
Often Asians where I live (Vancouver) don't have to work, as is the case with my Asian neighbour across the way (about 50 feet separate her townhouse backyard from my condo patio).
She lives there with two small children, and she cannot speak English. She does not have to work. This is very common here. The husband will visit once in a while, but spends most of his time working in Hong Kong, most likely. Very common to see here.

July 10, 2018, 01:11:18 AMI haven't been following this. What were the young soccer players doing there in the first place?Quote from: "iron horse jockey"
Exploring a cave, and then heave rains flooded it.
