you have insurance? We got a new AC unit for $50 a few years back. Thats how much the house call was. They installed a new one.

Well when he got his 1st paycheck which was $200 some odd dollars, ( he was in training so he got more hours) he gave us $100, but now his checks are around $80 for every 2 weeks. The money isnt as much the issue ( it is a factor) but, my biggest priority is getting his education finished. I'm tempted to just get him to take the GED. Pass or fail, he will have at least tried and gotten some idea what is expected of him.
This is his first job and he has no other work experience so he needs to hang on to this one. Jobs are hard to come by these days. Esp. with all the recent graduates applying now. If for no other reason then to beef up his resume. But, getting him in school is my first objective. He wants to work in HVAC. So, he will need schooling.

He needs to get his GED, then he can apply at some AC/Heating/Cooling shops. He might get hired on as a runner/helper. Once he's in, he can start learning the trade, and begin his HVAC education. A company may even send him to a trade school if they like him. Good luck with your son.

A couple years ago, I bailed my nephew out of a jam. I told him he could live with us rent free, as long as he was working and trying to get his life going. 5 months later he was unemployed, when I asked him to help make dinner he refused. I said, "fine, make your own dinner and your aunt and I will eat these steaks I'm grilling". When I turned my back, he started eating our steaks, and at that point I told him it was time to leave because we don't serve douchebags here. This was in March and it was cold and snowy and he was homeless. He's got his act together somewhat, but he's still pretty much useless. He's fun to hang with, but you can't depend on him for anything.

Well, might as well use my own thread for myself for once.

I'm having a hell of a lot of trouble sleeping, and i've pretty much tried everything to help get me to sleep. And when i mean trouble sleeping it's usually 3 days without any sleep at all.

i've tried pills, exercise, sleeping with music playing, music off. completely dark, lights on, sleeping alone, sleeping with my bf. eating before sleep, not eating anything after dinner.
pretty much everything. nothing worked at all.

anyone has a way that always works for him/her? please help..


oh, and dont say smoke some weed. not going to do that

This might sound patronizing, and I don't intend it to, but have you been to a sleep therapist yet?

[jibjqrkl]

well, how much do you really like this girl you're waiting for? If you really think you 2 could be happy together. then i think your friend would rather have you be with someone you truly love even if she maybe won't be there anymore to witness it, instead of you trying (and maybe even failing) to find someone else.

and I had a lot more in my mind when i started writing this, but my lack of sleep made me forget everything i was pretty much gonna say :s And i'm also quite sure it's affecting my grammar. i'll try to look at this again once i get some sleep.

unfortunately my previous account got banned for certain reasons i'm not going to discuss (wasn't my fault really though)

if anyone still wants to send PM's instead of post here please send them to this account instead

[Jibblypuff]

actually, i do want to say a few things about the ban, but let's please not discuss anything about it in here if someone wants to, just send me a PM instead

It got banned because it got hacked. now i just want to assure you guys that i had just deleted my inbox a few days earlier. and no posts which contain any personal information where on my profile at this time.
This account has a way stronger password, the reason why my previous didn't was because my boyfriend made it a long time ago and wasn't really going to use it. also, he doesn't really use strong passwords :s (seriously, he's the type of guy that uses 123456)

long story short, hot hacked. no info was on my profile at that time. this account is way more secure.


i would also like to ask one of the mods to put my above post in the OP for people who don't look through this entire thread

[HeyRiles]

So your boyfriend knew your password

[Jibblypuff]

technically i knew his. and don't even start saying he did that.

also, you have my msn, i asked specifically not to discuss this here. you couldve contacted me in at least 2 other ways. and still you post in here?

[HeyRiles]

Oh whoops, I didn't read the second part of that paragraph, sorry. That was my bad
