Having a ton of time to spend with your boys while they're still kids. Also, Jason Pominville.

Do hot flashes from a trade announcement count?

Until they add a book after revelations, Pommer will be ontologically the most under rated Sabre.

Best Friday ever. Interview that ended at 3, and they called me back at 3:15 to schedule a time to meet the team. Then the Sabres gave me a reason to care again. Hooray!!!

I can't believe we got him back without including Jack and Sam. This is absolute robbery.

Omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg!!!

Good Advice. After reading through some of the paperwork, my attorney offered similar advice :-p I have nothing disparaging to say. Good point, wasn't thinking clearly. This is definitely one of the paths we are looking down. She has actually worked us into a position where we can pay the mortgage and keep the lights on with just the income from her business, so I'm in a lowered anxiety position than if our welfare depended on my income. The big question there is, can we work together full time and be profitable, or will all of our income end up going to divorce lawyers :w00t: Will do. And thanks! Trying to stay in our house if possible, although my wife is open to relocating to one specific other location. I'm not terrible keen on that, but I could potentially get a full time gig pillaging the locals :pirate:

Last fall there was a leadership change in my company, and I ended up with my new director in 2 years. New guy seemed like a good guy, and the general feedback on him was that if you were one of "his guys" you were set for life. At the time business was exceptionally slow 4th Quarter 2017 was the worst quarter for my product line since 2009. We shut the plant down for 2 weeks at the end of December and still entered January with the lowest level of booked orders to start a year in over a decade. That all changed in January (YAY TRUMP!!). All of a sudden every steel mill in the United States started ramping up production all at once, and a couple of our OEM customers in the Mining industry had sudden and huge growth with global sales. I've been putting in about 100 hours a week this year because business was going really well an my plant had an opportunity to really capture the market. We struggled at first. The collective bargaining agreement with our Local expired in February and the Negotiations were a huge distraction right as the demand was really ramping up. We finally hit our stride in the last 6 weeks or so, and May ended up as the most profitable and highest volume month since the recession. To the point were the the manger of engineering for our product line, the director of Sales for our markets, and I all got public kudos from the President of the organization. Then last Thursday, June 1st, my new boss let me know that I just wasn't one of "his guys" and fired me. So I'll probably be around more now. I really missed all you guys. Anyway, the reason I started this thread, and didn't just wait till Thursday to put the above where it belongs, was to reach out to you folks, beg forgiveness for my absence (The reading this week at Church was that of the Prodigal Son), and see who had connections in the various manufacturing industries in the region (particularly those in the Monroe County/Finger Lakes Area)

Hey folks, sorry I've been away. I was working on a thing with all of my time. It didn't go so well, but it's not quite over yet. I am looking for progressive/liberal/democrat/concerned folks who have connections in the great state of Louisiana to help me with some get-out-the vote efforts for Foster Campbell who is running against a modern day Aaron Burr in the Louisiana runoff election. PM me if you can help. For folks who live outside of Pelican State and don't know anyone down there, YOU CAN HELP TOO!! And from the comfort of your own couch. Send me a message and I'll hook you up with the info you need to join our digital phone bank. I'm looking forward to getting back to debating with all of you in the near future, but for now, there is still work to do.

I think I'm the only one who has posted here who is the son and grandson of Union Members and now runs a factory employing unskilled, semiskilled, and high skilled labor. I have a lot of input into this discussion. In short, you're all very very wrong. However, I just got back from a family trip to Thomas the Tank Engine Land in Plymouth, MA, and I am totally out of steam. I'll provide my input tomorrow.

1. Dishwasher (restaurant now out of business) 2. Clerk at Blockbuster Video 3. YMCA lifeguard at camp arrowhead ("salaried" position that worked out to $2.95/hr, less than half the minimum wage at the time) 4. Town sewer department summer help <<earned degree in aerospace engineering>> 5. General Electric Aviation Development Program 6. Gould Pump Assembly Engineer (hey, it moved me home and at least it's still spinny fluid dynamic stuff) 7. Operations Manager at a Gasketing company. (Turns out I just really like making stuff, and it doesn't matter what...and that I worked way to hard in college.)

Of note, the $400M wasn't taxpayer money, it was held in trust after an agreement Reagan reached at the beginning of his term, after hostages were released.

What don't they want to change?

So you're saying the two different unions are equal, they're just separate. :P I've found that there is a disconnect in the conversation between modern liberals and the catholic church that is different than this. The Church has thousands of years of beautiful theology on sex and marriage and procreation, and it they've used the term marriage to group all of that together. it is impossible to hold that definition and bring homosexual marriages into the discussion. I think they would benefit from a new word for a relationship that involves the naturally evolved method for the creation of new people.
