 jim  Speaking of Bush...
isn't it kind of funny that the country is run by a Bush!!!
We have the most powerful Bush in the world right now...bwaaa-hahaha!
Hmmm, men in black at the door, honey, could you get that~~!

 jim  Pollen...little green things that infest our nasal
 The government has what they call a neutron bomb...
which when it blows up, it kills everything, but leaves buildings standing.
That is SO inhumane.
I would like to submit this to them...the POLLEN bomb.
They can get everything they need from my backyard. If they were to drop this bomb over, say, like, Iraq...see, all of the people there would simple leave (hacking, gagging, sniffling and sneezing), and all of the buildings would remain intact for the BUSH regeme to take over.

 jim  Another Saturday has come and gone.
 We filled up the dumpster Thursday with these amazon-like tree limbs with polleny leaves from my backyard. It took most of the day Friday: coughing, hacking, sneezing and wheezing to recover from that! I Started to fill up the dumpster again with the remainder of leaves, BUT...I'm in no hurry to go stomping around in that dumpster: getting more cut-up,red-eyed,itchy,sneezy,wheezy. Now, for anyone that's never seen my backyard, it has 3 tree's and 1 oleander, that in the summer time, form a tent like cover over the whole damn yard. No sun gets through it at all. MILLIONS OF LEAVES!!! Probably billions...it's a hell of a thing. I just want to BBQ back there, but I can't risk it all catching fire and sending up a smoke cloud like Mt St Helen's volcano did, that would circle the earth's atmosphere 25 times. That would be bad. :)

 jim  Looks like Skip is all squared away
It's about time I made a new entry :) It looks like Skip is squared away and things are settling down. I still need to get Becky squared up. Two weeks ago, I was looking for a job and interviewing. Nothing much has come up since then (jobwise). Trying to get back into the swing can be a tough task.

 jim  It’s that time of decade to look for a job
It's that time of decade I guess to go out looking for work.
There's just one problem though, I've forgotten how.
Since 1978, the jobs have just come to me.
What do you do when the phone rings and it's not a job offer. Hmmmm.

 jim  It’s the first day of spring
It's the first day of spring and the backyard has a layer of pollen bearing pods on it. You'd think it snowed green last night!

 jim  Ate like pigs, danced like fools, laughed like jok
Today turned out so much better than could be expected. IN SHORT, we had a BLAST! And that can't be bad.
Ate like pigs, danced like fools, laughed like jokers, it was all in the name of having fun.
If only every day could be this beautiful.

 jim  BBQ skewer day with Dustin, Jennifer, Robert and J
Well, it's turned from a Corned Beef and Cabbage day to a BBQ'd skewer day. Yum yum!
Becky, Dustin and Jennifer are here.
Hopefully when Robert and Joy come back over to pick them up, they'll have a healthy appetite, cause this stuff smells like heaven.

 jim  Robert bought a 2001 Ford Ranger
Oh, didn't I mention that Robert bought a 2001 Ford Ranger!!! $16,000, no down, just a trade in, $150 a month for 6 months then he's got to refinance. High blue book was $7,800 and hopefully he got a square deal. I think he did well. It's his first loan, and the truck looks very impressive. 3 snaps and a clap for Robert!

 jim  Most amount of money. Least amount of time
Now, the concept is "The most amount of money for the least amount of time". If this is the rule...it doesn't matter what anybody thinks about you along the way. The goal is to get the most out of our time. EG: If I can pick up old beer cans and make $85 an hour, who cares if thats sounds like lowlife work...I'll be singing from my balcony at the top of the mountain at all the people working there way up to shift supervisor at 7-11.

 jim  Car hunting with Robert
Robert and I went to Thrifty Auto for a crash course in Salesman chicanery and subterfuge. We got one half-truth from the guy...and that was how they decode the 4 digit number on all their vehicles into it's offer price, EG: 5011...transposed=1150. 1150*100 + 1,000=Top sale of $12,500.
Armed with that knowledge and a Kelley Blue Book, one can find the best deal on the lot!

 jim  Unloaded Skips stuff
Crawled out of bed this morning at the ringing of the phone. Robert came over and helped move me my step-brother in. We unloaded the truck, and he helped move furniture around so that the room could be properly populated with decades of Skip's belongings.

 jim  Back from San Francisco
Got Back from San Fransisco last night at 10pm. 25 hours of nonstop driving. This has been a killer of a week, and I love it. What's bizarre is I just watched a movie called Insomnia with Al Pacino and Robin Williams. Pacino's in Alaska during it's 6 month day cycle. He's getting delusional after days of sleep deprivision. That would be me right now. Phone just rang. Gonna exchange favors with someone. I've had 16 hours of sleep Since Sunday.

 jim  Picked Skip up in San Fransisco
Picked Skip up in San Fransisco. Lots of driving. Watch DVD movies on my laptop on the way (man, did that make the 12 hour trip FLY). The trip was beautiful! Seeing Skip after 30 years was quite a shock too. We loaded up the truck with all of his stuff and it reminded me of the Beverly Hillbillies somehow. I know it may be illegal, but having that laptop, with it's map software, and it's DVD player is the only way I'm going to travel from now on. Movies keep you alert.

 jim  What do employers want?
I was thinking about my resume.
 I did everything I said I did on it.
When I was 12, I fixed a broken clock and put it back together again.
If I had to do it again, it would take time to figure it out.
If that was all I did for a living, I could do it quickly.
I've done 1,000's of things since then, much more diverse, much more complicated.
WHAT DO EMPLOYERS WANT?
Someone who can do anything, or someone who does 1 thing only.

 jim  Read SQL 2000 for Dummies
Well now...it's been a very interesting day at the Cutlar abode. The world is turning! I've got some books for brushing up: "SQL 2000 for Dummies", "C++ for Dummies" and "Acting Intelligent for Dummies". That should be all I need to read to succeed. Memory jogging can fun!

 jim  Expected to have company today
Expected to have company today, but got nothing but virtual guests. BBQ'd up some of the finest beef ribs, and the most scrumptious marinated steak I've ever eaten. Watched Spy Kids 3D(**), Insomnia(***) and Stargate(*****) just to blow off some time. Another week has ended with the resounding thud of unemployed butts hitting the couch. This next week will be about producing income.

 Warren  The planet of Wallmartians
The planet to which the Wallmartians are attributed is however spelled Walmart and none of their diplomats or universities have given comment as to why.

 jim  Took Chuck Sheppard around the town last night.
  Ya know, these people from South Dakota just want to go to Wallmart and we went to Walmart. But we also went to a Chinese Buffet in front of it. They had whole shrimp! I've never seen that before. Great food, good prices, great company...my kind of night.

 Warren  How the hell are you guys!!
Whoa, ok, here we are, safe and sound as a message in youre box.. How the hell are you guys!! This is Warren Davis Neph#x12 almost live in Denver Colorado. Doing well and fuel is still over half! James D is in washington yet and Wayne is awol the moving world incapo-communicado, (though I hear he used to be a cat of silver faculties and lots to say). Both Walter and Lavonne have left us, and Elaine and Wunderbar Wambold have moved to Florida! Thats the news. Viewed the Cooler yet? I liked it but I suspect only because of a combination between environmental synaptiacal onslaught over period of time {life} and that Im a fan of William H Macy. Hi Sonny!- Hi Jim!

 jim  Renee, Dustin, Jennifer, Robert, Joy and Chuck cam
Renee, Dustin, Jennifer, Robert, Joy and Chuck came by yesterday. They say things are so much better since Becky's Brother and Mom kicked her out. I'm still pondering on exactly how that could be. Becky is the kindest, most giving person I know. And they yelled at her, stole from her, or crapped on her...and they used me. Jerry Newberry's advice to GTFO was absolutely best thing to do.

 jim  Up at 4am. Spice not nice.
I guess my evil ways (eating spicy foods and drinking Pina Colada's) always catches up to me. Good ol' acid reflux has once again wrecked my sleep. Thankfully, Zantac is available with out a prescription.

 jim  My step-brother isn’t moving in.
So, I guess nobody else is moving in here for awhile. My step-brother isn't moving in. I was hoping Chuck Sheppard would be moving in. It's hard to plan anything when the world is spinning at 1,000mph.

 jim  Aliens who love our CRAP
The highlight of today was when my brother told me he was writting a comedy about Aliens who love our CRAP, and their CRAP is healthy for us. It starts when aliens are invited to a restaurant, use the bathroom and they think it's the buffet! HILARIOUS!!! This guy has some great ideas!

 jim  Had to fix most of my wooden fence
Another busy day I guess. Had to fix most of my wooden fence (I hate those things). Installed a 20gig hard drive on my sublaptop. Installed a webcam on my brothers computer. Did more house decor.
