Military, law enforcement, firefighters, healthcare, garbage men, truck drivers, etc. Yeah some of those jobs have private sector equivalents, but is the private sector paying a fair wage for that work? I don't think so. I don't know if you were an officer or enlisted, but either way, I know...

Last night's election results were a blow to unions, which I think is sad being a union member for the last 5+ years. Walker, Christie (N.J.), and Quinn (IL) will get up in front of the national cameras and tell different versions about unions pension systems sucking their economies dry...

You're right, only in Cook County. I got clocked at 103 mph in DeKalb County back in '05, went to court w/ no lawyer, and found out the hard way that they don't have court supervision. I had to pay $500 to get my license back. The Trooper that got me was cool and told me that if he would've...

You're exactly right, nobody likes the "safety guy" on the job. However, the company and state laws back up the reason for your main issue. I used to drive trucks and have worked with riggers moving heavy equipment, and can completely understand the safety aspect. Everybody can hate you...

That sucks, hope he pieced it back together.

I have a '91 GT that I've had since '96 that I bought while stationed at Ft. Hood. Since then I've replaced the weak stock 5 speed w/ a Tremec 3550, King Cobra Clutch, FRPP rear lower control arms, Dynomax cat back exhaust, FRPP lowering springs, converted to 5 lugs, 17 in./18 in. rims, Pro 5.0...

Have you tried seeing a chiropractor? If you haven't, you should find a good one in your area that will get your background, take some X-rays, and recommend an exercise program for your neck. I forgot to look to see what area you're from, but try to google a Back Institute near you.

Hands down the Caddy. It speaks out more than the Sierra if you know what I mean. As far as big wheels go, I agree with you and your brother. If it's done right, meaning if it looks good (fits the wheelwell) and doesn't screw up the vehicle, then it's the right thing to do. Your bro is...

The new Challenger is way nicer than what Pontiac did with the GTO!! The Challenger actually performs while the GTO just looks and sounds nice. I like all the retro cars and would prefer having a Saleen Mustang and the new Corvette (I think the ZR1 is coming back this year). Right now I'm...

+1 I'd try it if I could afford it though. :please:

I have a sister who's also irresponsible, so I have an idea of what you're going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I agree with everyone here, and would say at the least get legal advice. Legal representation in court would show CPS and the judge that you're...

Plenty of good thoughts on the subject of welfare and how it's ran. The number one problem in this country is that we have a tendency to think that we do it better here. If we were to put together a group of diplomats and have them travel the globe to compare our problems to other nations...

Same thing happened to me with testing for a county position. At the same time though I tested with my state, but hoping to get the county job first since the state was pretty hush hush with when they were going to hire. The hiring process in LE can be pretty long, but in the end worth it. In...

I've got it and it's probably the best workout DVD set I have, because You not the trainer set your own pace. Even setting my own pace, it wears me out, but it works. I work a lot of hours (gotta get my Busa) so I don't have the time to do the complete 90 day challenge, but it keeps me in good...

Sorry to see that your bike had to go. I've gone through some rough times myself and know how you feel. At least you still have your wife. :beerchug: Best wishes to you and your wife in the new year.
