On my htc I got to hold down on the (send message) icon. Until a menu pops up asking me what I want to do. You could be right though. It very well may be a ipad thing.

Homie, yall got an imported dog? Why is it you get a German shepherd with pedigree/blood lines. Yet I get accused of being a dog fighter for searching the bloodlines for the pitbull puppy I wanted. Life just ain't fair.

You can start a PM from a mobile device. That's all I use.

Does it gotta be sweets? I just loaded down on holopchi and pyrohý's. Ain't a better way to celebrate anything then with the a classic Ukrainian meal. Yum yum.

There are. You just have to type em right. Such as ; ) with no space between : D = And so forth.

There are some who do look down on us. Granted they seem to be few and far between. Most the ones who do seem to have had a bad experience in the past. There are crooked and ignorant people in every profession, be it blue collar or white collar. Over 90 percent of the people I have done work for are extremely nice. Most are very curious as well. Once you take the time to explain what you are doing and why it works that way. It opens their eyes as to what all goes into a particular job.

Your dead on Homie. There needs to be more emphasis put on educating about the trades.

I've met some of these. I've never met a less capable electrician, then some of these guys. I kind of feel sorry for them. However at the same time. Just because you passed a test on running conduit. Does not mean you can come on my jobsite and tell me I'm bending and running my pipe the wrong way. After I had them run 4in rigid across a ceiling and up a wall, using "their" method. I believe they realized that maybe I had an idea of what I was talking about. It took them 7 hours to run that conduit run that should have only taken 2 hours. I guess books can't teach you everything.

Ol Mike Rowe puts it perfectly.

Homie, it sounds like you got the drive to be successful at whatever you do. I think your gonna do just fine. Be creative with how you use the accounting degree. We got an CPA working with us right now. He is one of the smartest guys I've ever met.

Sorry to hear that RW. We are most likely about to have to put down are dog of thirteen years. It's rough going through it.

More and more I keep hearing people talk about college, college, college. You have to graduate, otherwise you will be working at a fast food establishment. (no offense if you work at a fast food restraunt) It just seems to me that everyone is dead set on getting that degree. Be it the student or the parent pushing for them to get it. (mine did me that way) Ywt in all this hysteria over the degree the Trades are being overlooked. Yeah I got thrown out of college, and the first words out of my dads mouth were, "You had your chance. Welcome to the world of being a workin man." I bounced around two deadend jobs, and had one filthy job at a coke plant. (which surprisingly was a lot of fun.) Then my dads best friend from high school approached me about becoming an electrician. It changed my life. I've since gotten my journeyman card in electrical, and can pass any welding test given to me; be it stick, mig/wire, or tig. I've learned both electrical, instrumentation, welding, and some piping over the last six and a half years. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Now, as for those who are or are about to graduate high school. Heck even those who have graduated, those who are in college, or are just bored of what they are doing currently. Look into the Trades. There is nothing wrong with making a living working with your hands, and don't let anyone tell you there is. Sitting at a desk all day isn't for everyone. (in no way am I saying all college grads are destined to be desk jockeys.) Unless you are in plant maintenance work, you are at a different job site all the time. You get challenged both mentally and sometimes physically daily. Again its a fun and great way to make a living. With this current focus on graduating college, its is causing a shortage of skilled labor. Which is thusly driving the wages of skilled labourers up. There is lots of information out there on the different trades, and how to go about getting into them. Basically, what I'm trying to say is. Broaden your horizons and look at what else is out there. College isn't for everyone. For those it isn't for, the Trades can be a great route to making a living.

Huh? Let me research this, youve got my curiosity going in overdrive.

It's all smoke and mirrors. The tree huggers, (bird huggers?) will always find something to complain about. Give it time, once they start finding dead birds with tungsten in them, they'll blame it. These people just won't ever be happy. Plus according to they're chart more die from unknown causes then anything else. How much you want to bet, the next ban will be on "unknown". Here's a solution, use Stainless Steel, I here it is bad for all wildlife. Or better yet Uranium sinkers. That would kill most everything. I mean we wouldn't want to discriminate now would we?

Thanks for the post. It is very informative, and taught me something. Thanks again.

^^^^^^^ What he said.

That is too funny. Bet you that in a million years he never saw that comin.

I feel like contrasting another thread on here. Mine would be my Trade, or being an electrician, if you prefer. My son and wife. My guns and fishing gear. Nice people. The Raiders . Coffee. Catching a fish. Winning a fishing tournament. Setting a lake record for single day limit in a tournament. Breaking that record twice. Bass Resource. The rest of my family.

"spare the rod get the knife." My great grandmother, or Babushka, if you prefer to use her mother tongue. And my new favorite, Bhagavad Gita: "Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

I agree with, "If you truly love what you do, you don't mind putting the time and energy into it." No truer words have ever been spoken. Even with the occasional dull drums of my current job, which is completely my fault currently. I love being a electrician and welder. I would not trade it for anything. I prefer construction and industrial over service work. However even doing service work I've never dreaded a single day of work. Hopefully everyone can find a job they truly enjoy with all their being.

That's cool. Good article too.

Well well well. We have a supplement snob! There are definitely much better products out there then what GNC sells. Im trying to help those who are supplementing on a budget. And for cost GNC and Vitamin Shoppe can be hard to beat. I had completely forgotten about Vitamin Shoppe by the way. Personally I order my stuff from other places. With the exception of my Whey Protein. With that I just get whatever is cheap, as long as the protein count is high I can't tell a difference between the brands.

Give me four Ethiopians and 12 Cambodians, I'll have those carp gone in a week. I like the idea of netting em, canning em, and shipping em.

This is a family friendly forum, so I can't divulge what I got for her. Endless, thank you for the rose. I feel loved and special now.

Well then. Happy Valentines Day Bass Resource members. Now where are my roses?
