Joke for the morning.
A Russian arrives in New York City as a new immigrant to the United States. He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, "Thank you Mr. American for letting me come into this country, giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and a free education!" The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am a Mexican." The man goes on and encounters another passerby. "Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in America." The person says, "I not American, I Vietnamese." The new arrival walks farther, and the next person he sees he stops,shakes his hand, and says,"Thank you for wonderful America! That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Middle East.I am not American." He finally sees a nice lady and asks,"Are you an American?" She says, "No, I am from Africa." Puzzled, he asks her,"Where are all the Americans?" The African lady checks her watch and says,* "Probably at work." |

Here in south Florida they are some of the hardest working people you'd ever want to meet. |

The line should have read, "You are mistaken, I am a Mexican on the way to my second job." But, after all, it was a joke. I had a Mexican over yesterday to do some yard work. His helper failed to show. So he and I spread about 12 cubic yards of mulch. He busted my ass, but gave me $100 for helping, which meant I owed him only $250. Did a great job. Will definitely have Carlos back again. |

You are full of ****. A full sized pickup truck bed might hold two cubic yards of mulch if you can tie a tarp over it. That would be six full pickup loads. If you buy the mulch in the typical two cubic foot bags Home Depot sells, 12 cubic yards would amount to about 165-170 bags. I buy the equivalent of 100 bags a year to recover our planting beds. Unless you are covering your entire lot, leaving no room for grass, you aren't spreading 12 cubic yards or anything close to it. |

It is just something we do not see here. I am not sure where people get their day labor but it is not from people hanging out at the BORG. We just know guys we can call but I think for most folks, they grab the hefe from their landscape crew and he hooks them up. I know that is how my neighbors do it. Once you get a phone number or two and a good reputation with those guys, if they can't help you, they have a cousin or neighbor who can. That goes from simple grunt labor to masons, roofers and drywall guys. The plasterer we got to stucco the inside walls of the new room made it look like skim coated drywall. |

When we did mulch in the (community assn) park we brought in an 18 wheeler with the "pooper" that just pushes the mulch out the back of a 40 foot trailer. It was around 100 yards. It disappeared faster than you would think. We did 2 play areas and mulched around the trees. |

Hell, you could even accuse me of lying! Go for it. I don't buy mulch by the pickup load. I have it delivered by these guys: http://mulchandstone.com/mulches/dou...ood-mulch.html I use the pickup when Meadows Farms has their 5 bags for $15 sale. The pickup will hold 30 bags, if I use the back seat. You should buy your mulch in bulk. It's much cheaper! Now, don't you feel like an ass? |

This year we've got a bigger 'bed'. |

Carlos did the edging and spreading while I cycled the wheelbarrows. He definitely outworked my ass, especially with all the edging. |

I have it delivered by these guys: http://mulchandstone.com/mulches/dou...ood-mulch.html I use the pickup when Meadows Farms has their 5 bags for $15 sale. The pickup will hold 30 bags, if I use the back seat. You should buy your mulch in bulk. It's much cheaper! Now, don't you feel like an ass? I've bought it in bulk when decent cedar mulch is available locally, but usually the bulk mulch the locals sell is too chopped up and fine for my taste. There's no way your bitty lawn/planting beds need 11 cubic yards... |

When we did mulch in the (community assn) park we brought in an 18 wheeler with the "pooper" that just pushes the mulch out the back of a 40 foot trailer. It was around 100 yards. It disappeared faster than you would think. We did 2 play areas and mulched around the trees. If Harry wasn't so full of ****, he would knowbetter that John isn't full of ****. But Harry's "100 bags" seems a lot to top dress the little bit of landscaping he has? He probably mulches clear down to the creek where the owls reside. |

Just use a little respect. Just about anyone who actually wants to work, has a day job and all the work they want off hours. Nobody in their right mind will hire a renta drunk from a day labor company when they can get a latino.

Are they all working in the underground economy? Are we adding 11,000,000 people to the economy that aren't paying taxes? How many of those are on the dole also? My daughter worked at a landscape company that brought in Puerto Ricans, no paperwork hassles, they worked hard, and most went back home in the off season, then returned the next year. Anyone with a business is not going to hire someone who can't pass E-Verify unless they don't want to be in business very long. I also reject the idea that illegals do not pay taxes unless they are working off the books and again, this will not usually be a person who wants to stay in business. You might not be afraid if ICE but you better fear IRS. They are the ones with the resources to find you. That is not to say illegals do not have papers good enough to trick E-Verify but the government still catches up to them eventually. Then all the tax money FICA etc is simply forfeited to Sammy. These folks are still not going to be able to get their SS/MC unless they are legal. For a long time IRS/SSA was not even pursuing them. All that happened was the employer got a letter saying they had a suspect SSN, check your records nut "DO NOT USE THIS LETTER AS A REASON TO TERMINATE THE EMPLOYEE". They knew this person was paying taxes but they also knew they would not get SS. |
