Lol. When I started college...it cost $240 for tuition and $162 for room and board. And I had summer jobs at the mill I later made my career. 1972. It wasn't always like it is today!
Yep it's stacked against the kids now days; no way can a kid make enough money to pay for college and live. My undergrad $260 semester + books; grad $640 quarter + books. I worked as a carpenter summers and breaks til grad school, then had a job field related in grad school

Yeah, the good old days...nobody left school in serious debt. I remember guys less fortunate who barrowed money to get through. The owed as much a 4 yr. old used car upon graduation. I'm sure they were out from under that in a few years.

That's the next bubble to bust..they brainwash n scare all these kids into thinking you are going to be a loser flippin burgers if you don't go to college..they get buried in student loans and can't find decent jobs after they graduate.

I got this little munchkin through the night... 20160510_211654.jpg Found her in the street yesterday, frozen in the rain, she was milk white and almost see through. When I got home 2 hours later she was still there, still alive, so I figured the least I could do was bring her home to warm up so she didn't die cold and miserable. 20 hours of 2 hourly feeds later, she's still here. My fella is not amused!

I think it's a rat, my fella thought a mole. It's a tiny, tiny baby with its eyes and ears still closed, whiskers but no fur, very unlikely to make it but I couldn't just leave it in the middle of the road to die in the cold. I wrapped her up in a box to warm up next to a hot water bottle, I checked on her later and expected that it'd have died. When I saw she was all pink and warm, squirming and mewling, I couldn't just leave her hungry. You see the rod I've accomplished for myself?

Having a team meeting today (all 3 of us) to decide what kind of primer to use on exterior block. I stripped the paint off with airplane stripper & power washer...and then angle ground it. But, there was decades of 'white wash' build up under the paint that won't come off and is now ground smooth. My pro painter buddy says he will stop over this morning and tell us what he'd use...
