That pooch is lucky to have you. I have been at the bottom my friend. It is ugly there, I know. But keep a positive attitude and things will turn around. It took me many years to figure that one out.

Come to New Orleans for a few months. There's more work than people. Fema is paying basic electricians $21.50/hour to wire temp trailers. Quit smoking and get rid of the dog and you'll have more money.

Hang in there, brother guts! Once you've got what you want, you will have all sorts of skills to go along with it. Many more than the guy that has it handed to him has. (hope I'm making sense)

I have got to add...
Your post is absolute classic stuff...LOL....not laughing at your string of bad luck, but your post in general was pretty entertaining...and then the shot of the dog (good lookin dog, btw), which of course has a swingarm in the shot by coincidence....LOL classic stuff...
Like I said..hang in there!

Junkjeeps sounds like he has the hookup for young guys needing some ridin money for sure.

I've got one better than that Jay. The fastfood joints down here(McDonald's, Burger King, Popeye's, etc) are offering $10.50 an plus a $5,000 sign on bonus. Plus offering money if you bring in more employees for them. Flipping burgers for $10.50 an hour. How much markup is in a value meal?

I'll have to check into that for you. I'm sure if you had diesel experience it would be pretty high. Lots of big trucks and heavy equipment in town right now.

I subscribe to the theory that we make our own "luck" but that Karma can play a part in our lifes. So bad luck is either something you have created by doing little to make it better or you seriously screwed somebody(s) over. Either way it looks like JunkJeeps has shown you a way to get back on your feet if you choose to.

BTW please don't apply at a newpaper or english teacher position, you will only be disappointed.

well when you get laid off not much you can do . funiture about only thing here in nc . few new places opening up though, which is good ! yeah i'll admit i screwed up when i quit school . but can't go back in past i can only live for the furture ! i'm enrolled now for my ged, but when you don't have gas money to get there well... it's just like that you don't have it . i'm not even from middle class family, for what i have had i worked hard for ! i haven't had 16 different cars,19 different bikes sitting on my butt !

i've been diabetic sense 88, take 3 shots a day . sometimes instead worrying about gas go to school, gotta worry about insulin, needles etc . my health is little more important ! and yes i know my writing sucks, tell ya what i'll trade my being diabetic taking 3 shots day $100 worth medican a month, knowing there good possibility i might loose an arm, leg, eye sight one day, on top of that feet stay cold about all the time, cause ciculation sucks, for your writing skills any day of the week !

i'm going threw the unemployemnt place trying find a job, temp services, and still have nothing . and bills add up quick, when can't find a job . it would even help if i had my own car to get there ! it's not like i'm not trying, i hate driving my girl friends car i don't like bumming ! i borrowed the money get yz to help get my self back on my feet ! bought 2001 for $650 needed front tire, tell me why you would wouldn't have done same when you know 01 worth more any $650 any day of the week . know see if add rest what i said you should see more where i'm coming from .

i haven't give up and nerver will, i just stated that i was trying . while at same the time something else just keeps popping up . i respect what you said though so don't take this wrong way . my writing skills gotta improve lol can't get much worse ! and sure you agree . but practice makes perfect right .

I like this guy......you should have used TIMEX as your screen name...."takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin" ;)

Hang in there...guts...as long as you are trying...things will get better. Ever climb a gnarly hill on one of ya' bikes?

You might not make it up the first couple of times but eventually it becomes a piece of cake and may even be a good chance to make a pass during the next Harescramble :cool:

Guts, I was one of the first few people to read this thread and was tempted to give the knee-jerk response about grammar and how your message "looked" at a glance. But as I was reading it (very slowly, I might add) I detected a sense of humility and sincerity that usually aren't apparent with posts that "look" like yours.

Also, noting that you've been a member since 2003, I was moved to search and read all of your posts in an attempt to learn more about you. I though it was interesting that you bought and sold bikes fairly quickly. But the overtone of your posts were always positive, genuine and unassuming.

Now that I have read your latest post describing some of your personal history, I'm am glad I didn't pass judgement too early!

I have never been in your situation, so I can't fully relate. I have always felt that I've been an underdog and have had to work hard for what I have. You have the right attitude. Perhaps your heart and compassion have steered you on a less desirable path at times, but things have a way of working out in the end. And you, my friend, are going to find your pot of gold.

there is so much to me, you just wouldn't belive ! after you go threw so much bs, it becomes just one those things . everyone goes threw it ! i think it's not how much bs you can take, it all in how you deal with it . i have a bs cloud that follows me, i just make most of it and go on . am i crazy ? i don't know, define crazy ! and if you think i am crazy well how do you know it's not you instead of me ?

it's like the one forum i was on or seen guy in his signature said, ' don't take life to seriously know one gets out alive ' ! i thought that was pretty funny but it is true . so what the hell make the most of it and go on . i live bye this, you can knock me down, but i will get back up !

thanks for the replys, bad good i can take it !

Guts,
Hang in there bud.
In my life, first mom left, then dad. Thought I was ok. After 26 year marriage, she left, my oldest son has major partying issues, have almost lost home, business........Yes, it all fell apart, and I couldn't put it back together. Labor day I busted myself up good while riding. Sometimes it takes great pain to reach a new understanding.......He will do whatever it takes to grab our attention. Everything is back together now.......and it wasn't me who did it. It could be and IS possible that something very awesome is planned for you........your choice.
Trust in Him with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. Acknowledge Him in all your ways, and he will straighten the path.
It's not voo-doo, it's real.
