Congrats!!!! J

Drill holes, install grommets. J

Spray it down with water. You can work out the bubbles and move the graphics around as needed until the water dries. In AZ that will be about two minutes. J

How about jeans, a dress shirt and dress shoes. Yes, much better i was thinking the same. Unfortunately it seems as if my dress shoes are in transit with the stuff beng moved, so highly shined boots is what I have for the moment. I'm going to go look for another pair of dress shoes tomorrow. J

That's exactly what I would do, but my boots probably wouldn't be polished, just dark clean boots. At the end of the interview it might not be a bad idea to ask if you were hired when you would start. Good luck, got my fingers crossed!Thanks man. As for the polish, I always try to keep a good shine on my boots, so nless I buy new ones it's unavoidable. Plus their is a small nick on the learher that tends to blend better when shined versus dull. J when you were in the army did you have a pair of clean boots that you had to have shiny, and another pair that you used everyday? Before the switch over to ACU's yes. Once we switched to the new uniforms before my first deployment I had three pairs. One highly shined for display/inspections. They are refered to as 'parade boots'. The other two were relatively highly shined and worn daily. Wear em all day, come home, shine em back up, and wear the other pair the next day. Uniforms SHARPLY pressed with a shit ton of startch. J

Wednesday interview time at lowes. Considering their uniform for work seems to be t-shirt or polo and jeans with boots/sneakers, I am thinking button down or polo with nicer dark jeans and high polish boots. Bad move? J

I can deal with 16 hour days if the pay is right. Beats 24 on 24 off any day.J Not unheard of for 6 figure sales people in good markets with good stores.South Fla is a great market. So is Texas. Not a bad way to go. J

Jon, How many tours has she been on? As for him......dude, it might be time for a lil tough love on the brother, and to make the nephew feel extra special by you. J im not sure if it was 2 or if she signed up to stay longer while she was already there.... but she was there a long time.. came one once for 2 weeks and went right back.. but also she left him for basic too.. me and him got it down.. he knows my love is endless... hes my little buddy no matter what... shit i pretty much raised him while my sister was in basic and in afgain.. he was with me from 2 to 5 if ya look in my build log of my black lincoln there is pics of him helping me build it. and rebuild the motor in my 75 lincoln.. we do everything togather.... after that shit happend i snapped i went to my brothers house but hes such a pussy he would not come out he would not pick up the phone he would not talk thru the door nothing.. so i came home and had a talk with hayden and explained to him that nothing was his fault, and that he has nothing to worry about, so he told me " ok as long as i dont have to go to his house ever again" I'm just curious why she has not had him between deployments. Am I missing something here? J a few reasons.. after she came back the first time she took him... and she tried it... well shes not the best mother she had him very young and shes very wild... then something about either they were going to be moving her or re deploying her.. so she sent him to live with his grand parents.. she she went back to war.. and when she came back this last time she married her Sargent and they got him back for good. but between her leaving him for basic then first tour then second tour and everything between it scared him... not to mention he has issues from birth.... the army gave him a reactive attachment disorder I see..... J

Work in sales for a while, that will change. Sean probably has some sage advice like the best sale for company is always the one that meets the customer's needs first. But downward pressure to hit your numbers (if it's really a "sales" job) takes it's toll, and your ideals go out the window pretty damn quickly. I'm a non-salesman stuck in a sales job. I had always envisioned myself behaving the way you describe....here I am 7 years later behaving exactly the opposite. 15 years in sales and still feel work with the fact that my customers needs and mine are the same. I'm lucky, the industries I have worked in have all been in bettering people's life. I am also fairly certain that I do my job better and with less problems than almost every other person out there.... So it feels andis honest for me. maybe I am just a sales person. Great way to see it too. J

I may go see them anyways just for shits and giggles. I can usually succeed in getting people to a happy medium for what they need versus what they want. I just know unless push comes to shove I refuse to go work in a kitchen unless I own the bitch, or at fast food in any capacity. And push has yet to arrive, much less shove. J

I didn't know they had a service! Go sell mattresses if you want to get rich. Do they have a sleepies down there? Mattress firm? There is a matress firm down at the mall about 10 mles from here. Lowes has sales specialists for each department. They are 'experts' in their department and help you make an informed purchase. Supposidly this is more for the tool aspect of lawn and garden, as opposed to the mulch and spil aspect of it. I am the type of person who sells you what meets your needs, not what meets my sales quota. This may hurt me. J

Recieved a positive phone call this morning, Lowes is interested in interviewing me for an outside lawn and garden salesman position. Hopefully I will hear back this afternoon. J

Nice Sean. J

Also, Happy Independence day to everyone on here. I hope the bbq tastes a little smokier, the beer a little more refreshing, and that your fireworks burst just a little brighter today. Above all else, keep it safe. I don't need to lecture you guys on pets and fireworks, bbq safety, and not to drink and drive. J

The humidity with the ac being set at 75, and the time change has my body all haywire. J

Not being able to get my body to adjust sucks ass J

Good luck man. Just remember that USUALLY you can tell a person about what they order and what they drink. J

Not the wife. I kept things quiet. For awhile on that as I was trying to put shit together on my own. In October I started seeing someone new. The wife had known I wanted a divorce for some time before that. When I left AZ the new lil lady went to FL with me. She's a good fit for me and thw dog, and has the same goals and ideals I do. J

I appreciate the offer brother. Got some other opportunities popping up that I am looking into. Currently me, the lil lady and the dog are at my brothers. The couch for now sucks, but its free, with family, and shit will change if I go and make shit happen. J

The difference a year or even 6 months can make is amazing. Hopefully my upswing will soon begin. J

Use egg whites. Gotta close the doors and windows and let it bake UNDISTURBED for 5 days. Don't move the car, open the windows or doors. It will magically soak up the yolk and clean the carpet. Or pay someone to clean up after your childlike behavior. Fuckin amateurs. J
