full time college student. i'm considering a construction job. $14 an hour sounds good, but it's really a last-resort-kind-of-thing.

i had my own lawn business from the time i was 12 until 17 or 18. i worked for a few years as a lifeguard. i sell rover parts occassionally, but only what i take off my truck, not really a job, but it helps. i also worked as a parking lot attendant for a friend's mom at her salon. i got free drinks, sat in the shade, and watched movies on my lap top. $40 for a three hour work day is nice! and it wasn't too hot in the summer. worked on the rover in the parking lot as well and set up a hammock a couple times. it was gravel, so when a car would pull it, it would wake me up. man i love under-the-table jobs!

i can draw a mean picture, so i'm thinking about doing portraits for anyone who wants one. i'm also considering teaching beginner guitar lessons for a couple bucks.

if i had the space i'd be making sliders for cheap, but i have no where to weld.

i'm hoping to get an architecture degree and do that with my life...

i've had as many as three part time jobs at a time. i worked for two different pools at the same time, cut grass, and worked for my grand father every few weekends. i haven't had a job in six months and the fixed income i'm on from my parents is killing me! i wish someone would hire...

I think he's just a couple years older than I am. When I was a kid, I'm pretty sure he went by "Ed Pfister." I had seen him around when I lived in East Auraora and he was the talk of the town during some high-profile tournament (Junior Masters or something?) at the EA CC, and it was the big news to have a local boy in it/or win it.


I forgot you're from the area. They hold the International Junior Masters at EACC every year. The Pfister family basically ran EACC back during the 1970's-1990's.

(got any good kidneys? I'm A+ blood type, I'd prefer a left one, but I suppose we could find hoses to put a right one on the left side)

Yeah, Dan will properly replace your kidneys with an oil filter for your left one and a fuel filter for your right kidney.

And attach a radius arm to Nomar's arm.

US Navy air traffic controller, amateur chainsaw artist. Trying to get a "package" together for the Enlisted-to-Commissioned program this year.

I dropped out of the corporate rat race after diagnosing myself with hyperhydrosis-- a not uncommon condition characterized by increased perspiration, in my case being the palms of my hands. Excessive glad-handing was uncomfortable at best. TMI?
