The price of tea in China and asphalt paving here
"HaKrause" wrote in message ... Yikes! Got bids last fall on paving my driveway. Bids ranged from about $2900 to $3500, but it was getting close to the end of the residential paving season (need consistent temps at least in the upper 40s or low 50s, I was told) and I took no action. So, I called the three bidders this week, and the lowest bid is now $3500, ranging up to $4200. All because of the increase in petroleum prices since last fall. All this for 4-1/2" of asphalt compacted to 3 to 3-1/2" finished over my existing gravel and bluestone driveway, so the "low white fence for climbing roses" my wife wants will look "more finished" than it would with the gravel driveway. The only good part is I plan to rent a gasoline-powered posthole digger for the fenceposts. That'll be the fun part! I figured since I am now 60, I don't need to be digging no steeeking fence post holes by hand. My former 'next door neighbour', the lawyer for a major construction firm in this province, got the deluxe treatment. Surveyors, gangs of workers and supervisors, and lots of heavy equipment excavated down a foot or so, filled with clean stone and topped off with the most perfect paving job I've seen. His driveway is approx. 10' x 60'. He wouldn't tell me what he paid, but I know it was 'deep discounted'. Made me jealous. My last paving was a patch to fill in ruts worn in the asphalt thanks to our many freeze/thaw cycles. |

Also Sprach Tuuk :
Why the hell would a 40 year old law student be interested in a shriveled up toothless old senile old fool prune like you???

Well,, just going by what you said krause,, what's the matter? You loosing
track of your own lies??? I mean you said you were 60,,, you said your wife (3rd) is 20 years your junior, and you also said she was studying law. You also taught a family law course a little while back but that is irrelevant,,, for this conversation anyway (I mean if you are screwing your students to help them pass, that's another story). So krause when you say "'"''Such as being married to a "40 year old law student." That's a funny one.''''"" Which one is the lie??? you have yourself stuck in a circle here krause,,, that is what happens to liars,, the eventually catch themselves.... hmmmmmmm not too smart are ya there krause,,, did you mix up your meds again??

You know, for months, Tuuk has claimed I was 76 years old. How he arrived at that conclusion is beyond my understanding, unless the other "Harry Krause" he stalked is 76. That might be it, and also "the source" of his other errors about me. Such as being married to a "40 year old law student." That's a funny one. |

Mr. or Mrs. Tuuk
Just from reading the last few days of some posts here it sure looks like you either get your facts wrong or don't understand what you are reading or are being fed incorrect information just to get you to post really weird ****. Maybe you just make up stuff. All sorts of posters here are offering corrections to what you've been posting. I'm no student of language, but when I read one of your posts I wonder how far you got in school. Have a happy day! " Tuuk" wrote in message ...

So,
English is not Tuuk's native language, and he does sometimes get his facts confused. His hatred of Harry started years ago when Harry decided Tuuk was an easy mark for his personal attacks. Tuuk took it personally. Usenet is not reality and no one should ever let a flame war to upset them. As soon as you do, you have lost.

My suggestion to all.....killfile Tuuk or ignore him. If we all do so he
will be talking to himself and will eventually leave. "SoFarrell" wrote in message news:1112218216.6c68aa30a5eae86d87ca209ab26a12b2@t eranews...

I agree with your comments about Krause...he has stalked me, my wife and
made personal threats against us...he also published our address here in this NG and claims to have gotten a picture of my house. Indeed....a low life. However, it has gotten out of hand with Tuuk. He is attacking everyone who disagrees with his political views. I have the best of both worlds....both Krause and Tuuk are living together in my bozo file. May they enjoy it there. ;-) "N S Sherlock" no****sherlock.com wrote in message ... So, English is not Tuuk's native language, and he does sometimes get his facts confused.
