There's little of value in rec.boats, and what with the behavior of the
right-wing trash here, I see no incentive to try to make it better. I
don't know why you fellows cannot understand my reluctance to "engage"
here, as it were. I've posted the reasons many times in fairly simple
English.

So you are just a troll like Slammer.

Oh...my daddy didn't have to fork over many dollars to pay for my
undergrad degree. Thanks to his union connections, I was able to get
summer jobs that paid enough to cover most of my costs, and with
part-time jobs during the semester, I had pocket money, too. I had a
fellowship from my employer at the time to cover much of the cost of my
M.A., and the pittance I was paid as a graduate teaching assistant
covered the rest.

Ah daddy got you a no show job.
It was still a waste of money if all you can come up with are these
brain farts.
At least when your buddy Boriwitz comes up with stupid **** and lies,
it is presented as satire and fairly well written. You just spew
insults and bull****. High school dropouts can do that.

You seem to not be able to understand what I am telling you. I've
explained it simply and often enough. That I don't post long or original
stuff here doesn't make me a troll. Sorry. Clean up the right-wing trash
posters here and see what happens. Not my job.

My "no show" jobs required me to show up every day and work my ass off
for eight to ten hours a day, loading 40' trucks, driving and cleaning
forklifts, and crawling inside boilers to clean and repair them,
including welding. I doubt you ever worked those sorts of physically
demanding jobs in your entire life, unless, perhaps, you chipped ice off
the decks of those Coast Guard yachts in the North Atlantic in the winter.

Some of my little handyman projects around here are as demanding as
that and I am not a teenager

Now, how would you know that? Spend nine hours a day on a loading dock,
carrying 60-80 pound crates and boxes of merchandise off a pallet and
into a hot 40' trailer and stack them floor to ceiling from the nose to
the doors?

I worked for Swift delivering meat. Walk a block in downtown DC with a
hind quarter on your shoulder and get back to me.
How about carrying 10 square of shingles from the truck, up the ladder
to the roof, then nailing them down.

I was 67

Again, how old were you?

I dug out a footer that ended up being 2 yards of dirt last summer and
that was in Florida heat that is too much for you, sitting in a chair
reading your book.
Don't **** with me about work, you brag that your education allows you
to sit and think in an air conditioned room for a living.

Climb inside a funky old boiler out on a railroad siding,
armed with manual and torch cutting tools, and spend the day breathing
in all the **** that's accumulated in there for a couple of decades?

That is just a ****ty job, not necessarily hard. If you like that, I
have a septic tank story for you.
Maybe if you were armed with more real life skills, you could have
found a better job.

Hey, I'm not bragging, but those were the sorts of "no show" jobs you
claimed I had. So, as usual, your assumptions were...bull****.

Sorry,

BTW how long did you do that?

These, as I stated, were my summer jobs between college semesters. I was
a teen-ager. I spent two summers as a Teamster, loading trucks at two
different plants, and a summer plus some as a cleaner-welder at the old
Bigelow Boiler Company, cleaning, guess what, boilers. I assure you, the
boiler company job was hard.

These were pretty good jobs for a college kid, and paid a lot more than
minimum wage back then.

I kept up with the welding after college, with a local union and during
the day, until I got my ticket. I worked on the morning paper in Kansas
City, and had four to five hours of "slack time" during most weekdays
and on Saturdays.

Do you think someone here, besides Don, really believes you?
