01/29/2004 04:51:04 jim Opportunity | Thu |||||||||||||||||||
Opportunity gives you more than two knockers, so grab all you can!!! I may end up in LA, consulting for W2 wages plus $3,400 a month per diem. That works out to 12.17% in taxes (W/H,Fica,Med). Some locals need work too. Sweet!!! It's a small world people, so be good. Today Chuck Sheppard, a friend in South Dakota, called. I cosigned for his first car loan, (he's 20 y/o). He's moving in with his brother Tom, who happens to live 4 doors away. |

01/23/2004 00:00:00 jim Talked to an old friend, Sharon Mendenhall. | Fri |||||||||||||||||||
- Sharon created the post card to the left...wow! Rob Allred (see bottom) and I knew her back in the 80's when we at URS. Sharon's daughter, Regan, who is 26 years old, is a very phenomenal artist. That's her painting to the right. Check out her ethereal paintings website at ragensart.com. She's HOT! |
01/22/2004 00:00:00 jim Identity theft strikes again!!! | Thu |||||||||||||||||||
Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the United States. I've reordered my Visa Card twice in 4 months. Both times, within two weeks, my number was used for more than $1,000 of purchases on the net. Coincidence, or is someone rubbing a pencil over the envelope to get the raised print off the card, waiting a week or two for the card's activation, then placing orders...hmmm. The address is always to a sleazy motel. |

01/15/2004 00:00:00 jim Went to an oldtimers lunch | Thu |||||||||||||||||||
With Dan Crowley, Larry Lewis, Larry Loff, Dale Pickett and Butch Tomasseti. Shopped for brakes on my 1999 truck. Eight auto shops TRIED TO SCREW ME. Armed with coupons ($77 to $99) for all 4 brakes, the estimates ranged from $160 to $410 for just 2 brakes. I finally lied to the last shop. I showed them an estimate for $280 that included shocks from Midas. THESE GUYS CAN'T READ!!! Ended up paying $250 for brakes and shocks. I felt sorry for the people I heard getting screwed while waiting. |
