Anyone heard from Eric?

Eric, you were pretty worked up Christmas eve, maybe you just had the time. I hope you found some Christmas cheer.

Dave

Hopefully not the later, He deserves a break, he is a good man even if he is confused politically .

Did you hear this years Christmas message from President Obama? He is on TV every day yet I seemed to have missed it this year. Oh wait, I forgot, he was on vacation. What was I thinking? Maybe Eric is in hawwaii too!

Justin, I actually believe we need both parties, just in some sort of better balance than we have now. Thus the winky after my staement. I just like to tease Eric. If i were in charge the budget would get split in two halves. one half entitlements and the other everything else. Republicans would determine the amount of the entitle ment buget, and dems how to spend it. flip it for the other half. There would have to be some consideration of the other side or they would come back and mess with you. By the way, on another note I mailed your coil today. You should see it before the weekend.

Thanks for your concern. I purchased a support through my chiropractor, consisting of a narrow band specifically targeting the sacroilliac joint , it does not atrophy the other muscles. I am supposed to wear it night and day for three months to allow damaged tissues to heal. The thing is amazing. The pains gong down my legs left the minute I put it on. The back discomfort decreased and actually moved up one joint. things in the flooring business are slow so I was carrining 24 foot roof trusses by myself last week and handing 4x8 sheet of 1/2" OSB up to a garage roof and that would be hard on a 49 year old floor guy with a good back (If you could find one).

I agree we need a two party system to keep one party from over-reaching. This (our discussions on CCF) is just a microcosm of what happens in DC. Also, Eric dishes it out with the best of them. It doesn't make me mad. Just helps me get a better perspective of where the other guy is coming from.

That said.....I just saw on the news today that the Obama is about to ask Congress for another $1 Trillion + to fund the government. After this, the national debt will explode to over $15 Trillion.

Our national debt is what worries me most. Can we not get things together to live within our means in this country? Higher taxes are NOT the answer.

EDIT: By the way, I was wrong. The new national debt limit will be $16.4 Trillion if approved by Congress, so its even worse than I thought. Our Gross National Product is apprx. $14 Trillion. When our debt exceeds our GNP....we are in trouble. Obama refuses to even acknowledge this serious issue, let alone do anything, other than continue to spend more money, about it!! I am worried for our kids, and their kids and where this country is headed.

I think this is a statement we can all agree on, whether its on a personal or goverment level. We have lost this ability as consumers and it has bled through to our government. We think spending without limits is our right or something. It is hard to cut back when you are used to a certain standard and the same goes for government programs.

And you call yourself politically correct.

you know when you get a box of chocolates, there are always a couple left that know one wants, im gearing up for 4 more my friends, i really would be looking forward to Newt if he was voted in, cause i really am looking forward to argueing with you guys for 4 more years, I can really see you are thinking a miracle is going to happen...maybe start calling your campaign "the change" cause thats all your going to get in your paycheck.

Now, with a democrat, we dont run out and buy guns,we make love and not war, we are a civilized people who like to discuss not argue, we look out for everyone, the ones we feed and the ones that steal our money, we make laws with the intent of betterment for everyone, not just for profit, we dont fool the American people and put our young into harms way...you ever notice how you always see the crats after their tenure, ie: Clinton, Carter, Still to this day helping people out.
Not to long ago it turned into a "me" society, I dont know what happened to compassion for our neighbors, during the holidays I noticed i did not get one single "Merry Christmas" from any of the stores i went to it was Happy Holidays, but walking down the street or down the sidewalks you could sense people went out of their way to say Merry Christmas and not Happy Holidays to you. I know things change, Ive been flipped off more in the last 5 years, and have been fcd by customers in the last 2, recently i went out of my way on a boat, it was you may not believe me but it was perfect when it left my shop, it was a large bill and the next day the guy stopped payment on the check, because he knows how to work the system, little does he know its a class 4 felony, and I know the prosecutor very well. I dont even care about the money now, its the principle, he did his homework, and the reason I know this is because i called his hometown police department and they were very familier with this guy.
Anyways that and a couple other things i have going on have kept me busy and not to mention my daughter lost my phone with all my contacts in it, but, you guys gotta do alot more than that then to spread your smoke and mirrors to piss me off.
really just been really busy lately cause i have some news that is to early to let out at this time.
I'll get back to regular schedule here soon, I like and feel like you guys are like brothers so dont worry about me

Eric, I'll never understand people like your customer who get up in the morning figuring out ways to screw people that THEY HIRED to do work for them.

I'm definitely a glass half full person, really think there are a ton of good people in this country. The day to day pressure on moms and dads and kids and business owners and religious leaders, etc. is getting overwhelming and I think that comes through in attitudes toward other people. Our leadership tends to ignore this, makes decisions that are right for their personal gain, for their party, for their re-election prospects, while we suffer through their bad decisions and lack of forward planning. I think families are in desperate need of the feeling that they can go to work, earn a living, pay the bills, provide for their kids, and retire in comfort.

So, what's the news? Can you tell us now? How about now?

Eric
don't worry about your phone. You can get one of those free phones that are subsidized by others. You know, the phones that are for the those less fortunate; the phone for emergencies; for 200 minutes of emergencies per month.   

I have seen what you guy's are talking about but I don't understand it.Used to be your reputation was worth something. I can't even tell you how many jobs I have been sent out on only to find the reason it dosen't work is because they have been turned off for non pay. You might think the strange thing is that our company can't figure that out before they send us out, when in fact these deadbeats are trying to scam you into turning it back on when by then it's out of our hands.

To soon for the news, after the new year, it is business related, cant babble cause I'm on a kindle that I'm growing to hate as l am typing this, but cant do nothing till after the 1st with this guy...but I could put an add on craigslist until then and it will say, father passed and free to a good home, need a car removed from his garage, I have no ldea what it is but it does say rt 426 on the side of it, whoever tows lt away can have it, looks like it needs to be painted, Must meet me at night at the house after 11:00 pm because I work 2nd shift......I'll give the address and no phone number.

Really though, l'll go the legal route.

Chris, Gary, you guys know exactly what im talking about, not to mention the bounced checks and charges because of a check not clearing.... its very hard to read people nowadays, a couple years back i had a girl do the same thing to me, she got the insurance check and spent it, to get her car back she wrote me a 3800.00 check and the phone records showed that she cancelled her personal check 20 minutes later in my parking lot, luckily I knew Brunswicks finest and he went and gave her the ole "theft by deception" which now i am very familier with, unfortunately this patrolmen retired 2 months ago and i dont have him to lean on, but, i know the prosecutor pretty well and will wait until after the New Year. i did get all of the money back from the girl plus any additional charges related to the stop payment of the check,
I think this guy is banking on me not pursueing the issue.......i will post as i go

63, these are the type of guys in charge of this country but at a larger scale, a handshake doesnt mean a thing, really, they keep shooting themselves in the foot and we are starting to catch on.
