Hi everyone! Been busy these past couple of day driving out to the Iraqi border forts, getting to see how they operate. Man, it is really freaking sad how these poor SOB's have really nothing to work with. In my region, they havemore vehicles down than up. I've made it my baby to help INSTRUCT them on how to fix things. The mech I teamed up with kinda knows how to fix things, but they have **** poor means to requisition parts, so they basically drive a vehicle into the ground. I just hope that the corruption stops, because that's a big reason why a couty so rich as this doesn't have the money to give the little guy to fix a set of brakes....

Hey Danny! Great to see you online again! I think it's great what you are doing to help that mech. Maybe one day he will be able to pass along the know how that you are giving to him.

Hey Danny good to see you on today. It is messed up when a rich country operates like that. It alomost reminds me of how some of the bigger places that I have worked for operate.

Ok... WHY???

Family: Octuplets' mom has 6 other kids - Women's health- msnbc.com

She had 6 children already, and then gave birth to octuplets (8)!!!! Seriously, does she think she's doing the world or these children a favor?

Congrats dude.... you likely won't be allowed to go to the 2012 Olympics...

i doubt they wont let him in... He has no criminal charges against him for it. And they cannot tell him what he can and can't do in his spare time. Then after 2012 we can laugh at everyone for getting beat by a pot head! LOL JK I am sure it was a one time thing and after getting caught for it he wont be doing it again. Poor guy is still human.

I got it. It's all mine. Just picked up another fifty people. That brings me to 190 reports.

Needless to say....I am pretty stoked right now. Also got invited to have lunch next week with my boss and the company president, who will be in town to review the plans for the new line.

Anyway, I just wanted to share with you guys. Still cannot believe all of it.
Good job! Good things happen to hard working, good people!

Poor guy is still human? Seriously? Poor Charles Manson, he's still human.... Pot's not like cocaine, crack, or meth, but it's real simple: get busted for drugs and you're on a 4-year ban from the Olympics. Now, will they have the sack to enforce it? Probably not. Star athletes always get away with crap they shouldn't. I'm not talking about getting a "freebie" and not getting a speeding ticket here & there, but that drug is illegal here in the U.S. As for his free time, he can do whatever he wants, sure - but is it legal? Maybe, maybe not. If not, there may be some backlash from that choice. For the record, I'm not an angel and have probably had more speeding tickets than most 3 people combined. I knew the potential cost and hoped for the best, but still used to speed. Speeding's not my only 'infraction' but that's all I'll put here.

EDIT: Apparently, according to current rules cannabis is only banned during the competitive season, so he's in the clear for the Olympics, for now. Let's see what other stupid trouble he can cause for himself. Yeah, he's a great swimmer. Train for a couple more years, win more medals, and then come pick up my trash.

That woman has a few screws loose.. no one in their right mind would have that many kids, lord knows I wouldn't. I can not imagine trying to find the time to have one on one time with each child. IMO what she did is VERY VERY stupid and irresponsible on her part. I also what to know what freaking doctor would do that knowing she is a single mom of 6 already, all under the age of 7.

That "mother" thinks she can get a reality show like all the other ones seem to be getting. She may or may not...Im guessing on NOT since she had the kids JUST for the hopes of getting the show. What a woman...

I was thinking along the same lines, but then there's the woman that got multiple plastic suregeries to have a KKK-size chest! She was told "these just might explode on you" but her reply was something like "bigger is better!". If someone is willing to pay for it, there's probably someone willing to do it.

I dont really care either way when it comes to the wholes Phelps thing. We have all done illegal things. Personally I choose not to do illegal things so that i never have the chance of loosing my job. Maybe Phelps should have thought about that. Or maybe it he was ignorant enough to think it didnt matter. OR maybe it was "just a dumb" mistake. Should there some kind of recourse for it. Ya. Will they stick him hard enough and not let him compete i doubt it also.
