China TEFL Network Salary Expected: (Average salary in China is RMB3000) 5000-6000 lolz

Yeah actually no. It"s standard practice in plenty of perfectly safe, normal countries as well. Some hotels will want to keep your passport on hand, and there"s other situations as well. Not sure what standard practice is for temporary foreign workers, though. That would be shady for sure. Yeah...

haha, while re-reading those gems, came across this one: Still stepping up to defend the Grobster Etoille? Also, after I had made the post Phoenix referenced, I lamented "And damn, no shit storm!" after I had posted the new infoz about Grobster having fully 4 bastids. I guess that storm...

Watch her face at about 1:35 when he mentions his "other son." Sad.

Just wondering, how many businesses have you run for yourself? I"m curious from what standpoint you"re coming from. You certainly seem eager to dish out your expert advice on how to properly run a business while making friends with everyone, so please let us know. Unfortunately in business...

Oh shit, Erronius opened a fucking can! I"m not even gonna lie: I"m pretty pleased with myself that I"ve been a part of not only this train wreck, but was also fairly central to Millie"s final self-destruction, AND found some pseudo-creepy stalker stuff on Kate back in the day after Kiksar...

Here are some PM"s I got from people in the past about this shit, unasked for. Heh, just noticed that some random who asked me about "joining this guild" was in fact SoulKonsumer. I just made that connection. I responded that I had no idea, had never been a member of FOH, and to contact someone...

lol shit, maybe I"ll find half an hour in the next couple days to do so. To be quite honest I"m not even sure I can piece it all together. I will most definitely provide some of the creepy PM"s I got awhile back. But like I said, I still don"t quite understand the entire thing: 2 vs. 3 women and...

I"m just THRILLED I could play a small part in this... Whoa not cool. If only because his half dozen or so bastards might be ever so slightly better off with daddy alive to pay support.

I think it"s somewhere in between, really. She made herself available and dropped by at the drop of a hat, maybe just for a quick fuck because she"s been on a dry streak getting over her psycho ex. Maybe she dropped by because she wanted to see if I was interested in giving things another shot...

Typically if they have any business sense to go with their estimating knowledge, they"ll either expect to be able to buy in to the company, or at least expect a share of profits. Failing that they"ll start their own company. But that"s not really any different from a good project manager. That"s...

Well like I said, I had to get going so only half :/. Exchanged a few texts with her as follows: Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Me: So when do you want to check out that new wine bar? Her: Well I may be free thurs, but the rest of the week I"m busy... Me: Thursday could work, if not...

Try training a decent construction estimator. Every company, trade, and specialty have different methods, software packages etc. so it"s entirely training and experience. It can take upwards of a decade for an estimator to get really good at it.

The vast majority of my employees are hourly and paid on a sliding scale based upon a set journeyman rate, so it"s mostly irrelevant for them. They all know how much each other makes based upon their experience (fourth year makes 80%, starter makes 55%, foremen/supers make 105-115%). But for...

I think it"s very dependent on where both people are in their lives. If they"re in their 20"s and still finishing school, getting themselves established in a career, moving out of the parents and/or getting their own place etc etc etc then yes it"s probably a good idea to wait until things are...

Whoa whoa whoa. That"s not true it all. It"s more like Livejournal.

Mainly I"m not a deceptive asshole, she"s 31 and looking to get hitched ASAP and I"m pretty confident that the pillow talk after will consist entirely of "so where is this going?"

So we hung out that night and it was really our first actual date. It was nice. We were going to check out a really good restaurant but unfortunately they aren"t open on Sunday, so we settled for a decent steakhouse. After that we walked back to my place and watched The Road. Heh, brutal date...

Never tried. Is there not some decent cougar bars nearby? I dunno, it seems like a lot more work messaging a dozen chicks to find one that"s ready to go (assuming you"re not hitting up super uggo/fatty, really desperate ones) than it is hitting up a bar and buying a few drinks.

Not trying to jump on you but you really, really, REALLY need to change how you think about getting a proper legal settlement/custody agreement with your ex. You aren"t "taking her to court." You are "coming to an agreement." It doesn"t have to be an adversarial process AND there"s no reason why...

haha I only read the first post or two, but I like that guy: I chatted with some decent chicks on PoF and that"s how I met Xerxes, so I don"t think the site is useless or anything. But like I said since there"s no barrier for entry I"d say the majority of girls on it are just doing it cause...

For about the dozenth time, it"s a very, very regional website. There"s plenty of good looking chicks on it around here, but like I said because it"s not a paid website the vast majority aren"t serious about it.

I just found that in general virtually all convos I had with chicks on PoF went nowhere. Maybe they can hold conversations face to face, but online it"s terrible. I would typically try to move it to a phone call or meeting ASAP for that reason, otherwise it just piddles out. You can ask them...

As usual we"re only getting one half of the relationship so we don"t know what kind of shit you do to her that might set her off, but I think that the fourth sentence of your post is pretty telling: "We"ve had a very destructive relationship."

Like I said, not really much to report. I"ve mentioned the shit going on with Diane, and haven"t mentioned a couple other girls I dated and/or hooked up with over the past 6 months because there"s really not much to talk about. If you want to mark your calendars I"ll probably run in to Anne the...

I still really have to go back through this whole thread. I"ll just say that in the last 3 months of 2009 and first 3 months of 2010 we lost about 300k. So don"t feel too bad! Thankfully we"ve picked up a couple large, long term projects that shouldn"t have much risk. The construction market...

PM"s.

Meh, I wasn"t using it as a "value judgement" or anything like that. And I agree with you in regards to marrying for the sake of a child etc. So don"t take it that way. Perhaps "unplanned" would have been more accurate, but hey we all get off belittling others right? So you"ve had three...

Please confirm the exact number of illegitimate children you have fathered. Nice! That little fucker pop out? Or just an ultrasound? Fuck time flies!

I thought that was my defense? That fucker!

Heh, I"m with the others: regardless of how your friend was talking about her, he was looking out for you. All you had to do upon meeting the girl was either directly tell her you"ve got something else going on or indirectly let her know by not showing any interest. If the bud persisted you just...

Heh, I"ve spoken with at least a couple girls who were under the impression that blue balls weren"t even "real" and that guys just said it to get them to put out. Charges are pending.

Actually I"ve found that once a good case of them set in, rubbing out doesn"t help either. They just ache for a good couple hours. Or rather my gut does, less so the nuts themselves. Only had it once or twice.

^To be clear I didn"t mean that her being back and forth like that were her "flaws." I mentioned those specific quotes because they told me the same thing they told you. There"s a bunch of other stuff I haven"t and won"t bother mentioning about her and her history. Deciding whether or not it...

Totally know what you mean. Kind of in a bit of a similar place with Diane at the moment. There"s parts of her that are awesome. But she has some pretty deep emotional flaws as well, in a lot of ways the stereotypical really hot girl who is inwardly incredibly insecure. I"d say daddy...

Welp, in my case with Anne last year, she started bringing it up early on in the relationship when she thought I was maybe still dating Xerxes and/or not all that interested, and she was insecure about us. So in my personal experience it seems that some girls, of course not all, bring it up if...

My bro"s wife"s family is like that. Her sister and brother are both financial basketcases still dependent on their parents despite being in their mid to late 30"s. The parents are accountants of all things but not CAs or CPAs or whatever designation works for you, more book-keepers I guess. And...

This doesn"t really have much to do with the topic at hand, but I just got a phone call from a good friend. Apparently he asked his girlfriend of 7 (8?) years to marry him. They"ve been going out since their early 20"s, and I"ve known that particular guy since we were 12 (we were actually in the...

Dude, you should see the PM"s I"m getting. I"ve got thick skin, but even I"m creeped out. The webs the Grobster has weaved are pretty fucked up.

The person claims to be someone else actually, that was just my first assumption. In a subsequent PM they offered further details but I"m just going to leave it where I originally posted it. Been away from the boards for a week so I haven"t even seen if a shit storm has followed. Yet. Rest of...
