    IRON Money!

    Here because of copper thefts they limit how much you can sell at a time & they make you show id & sign a regiestry. Up in Phx they even had a guy die from electrocution after climbing a pole to get the copper wire from a transformer($20 worth).

    An amazing quote.

    I think we get as much out of things in life as we put into them. You work hard at anything & you will get rewarded. I like you think it is sad that so many people have college degrees & do not work in that field. Here in the US the last satistic I heard was 67% of college grads do not work...

    An amazing quote.

    Pat, let me rephrase my comment so you understand what I meant better. My Chem prof, spent over an hour of the classes 2 1/2 hr limit that one night going over & over one formula & that was what I was referring to as 4-yr profs not doing. Granted I know community colleges offer some lower...

    An amazing quote.

    I agree that there are people who go to school for nothing really just that everyone else is going & that employers are requiring the degree. why would you think that community college classes aren't *as* good as a university course? Some are even better. Just because it is not on the level...

    Red wheatberries or white?

    If the white is soft white then it is mainly used for pastry & baking. Hard red is your best for bread making. As to the buckets 2 will hold 50lbs with space left over, a 5 gal bucket will hold about 45lbs of wheat berries. Congrats on getting a great deal on the wheat, if possible I would...

    There are tons of grants & scholarships that go unclaimed each & every yr, worth millions of $$'s. All these kids need to do is enter scholarships into a search engine & they get tons of hits. Fill out a questionere & you get a boat load of grants & scholarships to apply for. They range...

    An amazing quote.

    Ok but I still disagree with that. As some of the "best" students(gradewise) have plenty of money to pay for a higher education, why should my tax $$'s go to pay for their education when their parents can pay for it? I think the current tax credits parents can take for their college children...

    Trying to pass a kidney stone-update

    I pass one from time to time. I am going to schedule my next xray next week to check the status of mine. I guess it just depends on how long they are in there without me knowing on how long to pass one. I know i pass one when it hurts like crazy and/or it is really hard to push the urine out.

    An amazing quote.

    I am not rewriting history. I have read many things & listened to many people who have studied the GD & the majority of opinions are that FDR's plans did nothing to get us out of the depression, they only spiraled us down into it farther & faster. It is also been proven that we prosper better...
