    I went to school at 24 and worked part time doing what I did before and do now. I lived pretty well, small town, no wife, no kids, no loans.

    Is he talking about having the piping run? I have had both. I liked natural gas because I've been thru multiple hurricanes without loss of natural gas. I went 2 weeks during Andrew and never lost it and 3 weeks without power after Katrina and never lost it. Propane works but can be a pain...

    A guy posted on the LSU forum that he and some friends were coming to the LSU game this weekend for the first time, they're from OH and IL. He wanted to know about the open container laws LOL. Never even thought about it. I can't imagine even asking. He caught a lot of shit.

    When you try to get back into things you had done earlier in life and get shocked prices and how much more "high tech" things are now.

    Like I said I don't know jack about Steve Jobs, but apparently his wife wasn't included in the movie and she talked Christian Bale and Leonardo Dicaprio from acting in it. Who knows.

    I thought pac-a-sack or something similar was a convenience store chain similar to 7-11. Which it may be but getting a good burger sounds dubious.

    I don't know jack about Steve Jobs. But people who knew him said the timelines make no sense and would have to be adjusted by decades to fit into the movie. Sounds about right.

    Any chance they mention that stuff in the hopes of getting you down on salary? I don't know. I can't imagine the need to hire someone dragging out that long but that's probably just me.

    What do you do?

    I guess. A lot of money involved and "they" like working with known people they can trust. I can't count the number of times I pulled out the "remember when you screwed up" card to a field person or the customer to cut me some slack. Works both ways. That screw up might have been 10 years...

    I personally don't know a company that laid off anyone in the last crash. They may have got a smaller bonus tho. You could know everything about the industry top down but if you don't know the person in the field or the people at the customers site you can't get anything done. I mean more than...

    What do you do?

    Depends on the industry I guess. In this one job hoping is a quick way to wind up working a shit job for the rest of your life or a career change that involves flipping burgers at some point. If you have LOTS of places you could apply I could see it. After a certain number of jobs you really...

    Pretty much. I think carpet in the bathroom and think 60's or 70's. I have never seen a house built in the 80's that had carpet in the bathroom. Now they might have had linoleum.

    I didn't care for him when LSU played him, but the man always said what was on his mind. Respected that. Damn I should have went to the game even if it meant sitting in a handicapped spot.

    Those are pretty impressive. A lot better than the bland and boring shit I do.

    I've done some stairs with a 12 on 12 pitch, so 45 degree angle. Hard as hell to talk up those becuase you basically have to step sideways on the tread. Limited use stairs tho. Be glad you don't have to dick with circular stairs.

    Just giving you shit. I have no idea what homeowner code is. I do commercial and industrial stairs and handrail by the semi truck load. But a framing square will do 9 on 12 stairs which is the standard without hassle if someone else wants to build them. They also give the cut you need for the...

    You know there's free apps for the phone to get the bevel using a right triangle for free. Doesn't require a math degree lol. Lacking that a framing square will do it as well. Now the real question is did you measure from the toe of the step or the nosing line to meet code?

    Even if it wasn't a "scam" how could they ever produce a game at this point that would balance gameplay with the amount of money people have sunk into the game.
