   That’s what my kids told us. They’ll pull out the valuable stuff and toss a match on the way out.

   A friend hires engineers for a power company – preferably with a masters, but will settle for an undergraduate degree. And yes, one showed up with his dad – he didn’t get hired. The last 5 they hired didn’t last more than 2 weeks. One took 3 days off without telling anyone and when questioned about it the answer was, I didn’t feel like coming in. One said on exit interview, I took the job just to see if my interview methods would get me hired. He is not happy with these college kids today. He finally filled his open positions by using a head hunter.

   It’s school break – how about a week doing everything – then they won’t complain about a few hours of helping out…

   We didn’t have ice cream at work – candy/soda machines and a coffee kiosk were all we had outside of the cafeteria that sold no dessert…

   Eat your dessert first – that way you’re not too full to enjoy it…

   They used avgas – a little higher octane than a car could handle – so what’s Broomie doing there? She should be in the auto lane

   Grew up with an older sister and have been married since 1970 and have never seen that – my mother (born in 1924) didn’t do it, my grandmother (born in 1894) didn’t do it – don’t know of anyone who did – none of my friends ever mentioned seeing their family doing it. I guess growing up the in the farm community where money was spent better elsewhere was the reason.

   I would rake lawns for $5 in the late 50’s – had a lot of business. A bunch of us kids did that and all of us charged the same and would discuss price changes – today that’s called price fixing :>)

   Used to be a fan – went to a lot of games – then I quit watching pro sports because of the greed. When the players went on strike (NFL ’87) and tried to block paying fans from going into the stadium to watch the replacement players, it got ugly. The Philly Eagles linebackers started fighting with the fans – haven’t watched a pro game since. College has lowered themselves to the greed gutter since the teams are openly competing for TV money.

    Oh yeah, not a job I want – and my son did security in the military – he wants nothing to do with it…
