    Chicago union electricians make $67/hr?! Holy Obama!

    I'm a general contractor and I absolutely hate it when people say.. "What?!? You guys want to charge $120 to do an hours worth of work and you guys finished in 1/2 an hour??!?!?!" What people dont realize is that we actually make only $5 an hour... the other $115 an hour goes into the...

    Dell Vostro Shipping/Build time question...

    Thanks! I did ebay but didn't find anything crazy. I wanted to go thru dell directly so I can use some of my dell deferred account. I might buy 1 or 2 refurbs to "buy time" for the other's to come. The refurbs are cold deals tho considering adding monitors bring prices well past their...

    Dell Vostro Shipping/Build time question...

    I was planning to order today. Ready to ship date is 18 Dec + 5-7 days shipping is probably gonna be after Xmas. When was your last order? Planning on buying the refurbs because they don't have build times and are ready to ship. I have to order 10 units for a job and am very short on time...

    Dell Vostro Shipping/Build time question...

    Dunno if this would be the right forum to ask this but... I haven't ordered from Dell in quite a while. Past experiences, they build & ship fast (5-7days from date of order to box in hand). If you have ordered a Vostro 220 mini tower... How long did it take from day you ordered to box in...

    Huge cheers as Obama visits Washington Post

    People don't look towards the military to provide fair & balanced daily news..... 1) Gore distanced himself from Clinton... left-wing media's all time favorite... would have destroyed the democratic party esp w/ Joe Lieberman running mate. (Lieberman goes on to support McCain) 2) Just...

    What's wrong with cheering for the President?

    Just like when the media/left blame the administration for not "connecting the dots" when they received tons of reports of threats daily and did not act on those threats... Stop giving Bush so much credit/power for everything... Bush would've been impeached long ago and no1 would even...

    The first time I've ever had any kind of somewhat nice everyday clothes.

    Agreed... The tailor should have kept the original hem of the jeans when they shortened the legs (this keeps the original look) Cargo pants regardless of men/women are waaaay 2k1 maybe as late as 2k3 unless u plan on going hiking/outdoors etc... I have a few short asian friends who have...

    Being your Own Boss?

    please excuse my spelling/grammar errors... its a lil bit late for me but I felt inclined to write Being your own boss is not as easy as it sounds... many people chose not to be their own boss because of this fear. One thing that Azurik mentioned that is very true is having passion in...
