I’m a nice guy, 45 no Children, Hard working, reasonably good looking. 6’2” 200#s Blue eyes, Medium length Red hair. I’m not Poor; I have my own Business, Home, 4 Trucks and a Shelby GT500. I was followed out of Wal-Mart the other day buy a beautiful woman who stopped me and said she wanted to get to know me. She told me I was very hansom. We went out a few times. She decided I was too tempting and I was keeping her from her relationship with Jesus. That, I can live with, being beat out by the Son of God I can understand. I believe in God and I’m a sinner like everyone else but I try to live my life with love and caring for all. I always try and do the right thing by others. I pay higher wages then most Construction companies. I’m open and Very Honest with everyone!

The woman before that “Jacqueline” said she was looking for someone exactly like that. I told Jacqueline on our first date I was dating another woman “Lynn” (no sex involved). Lynn was seeing another man. He’s a sorry Drunk that abuses her, as she tells it. I know he’s a drunk he has 3 DUIs. Lynn couldn’t let go of this man. A few weeks went by and I told Jacqueline I was fed up with Lynn’s excuses why she couldn’t leave him and the relationship was all but over.

Jacqueline and I were out one night when a man that once worked for me approached and said hi to me. Then he said “didn’t I see you with a Blonde with, and then he put his hands out like big boobs at the Oyster Shack”. I said yes, and politely asked him to leave. Jacqueline said she had a restraining order out on him. So she must have had a relationship with him before. A few weeks go by and I’m done with the Blonde with the Drunken man in her life.

Jacqueline has now has dumped me for the man that worked for me about 3 years ago. I fired him after 3 weeks for showing up Drunk and being lazy, so I Know he’s a Drunk also. That’s Exactly the opposite of what she said she wanted.

These kind of things Have happened to me all my life!!

The Question is What am I doing Wrong in life?
I do drink on an occasional basis. Not every night or even every week. I just don’t like the taste that much. I do try to take it slow though, been hurt too many times. I think Jacqueline wanted a more aggressive man. But the simple fact is I was Dating other woman and she clearly like to drink more then I did.

Three of the trucks are for my Business. I was pointing out I wasn’t broke. I drive one and two of my men drive one each, ones personal. The GT500 what can I say, I got a great deal and its bad ass. Who cares if a Chick likes it, 99% have no Clue what it is other then a Mustang. I like it like that.

Been used to it for 30 years man.

PostHeaderIcon Fire Dept Christmas parade decoration ideas?

Every year, my fire department holds a Christmas parade where each of the companies decorate their apparatus with elaborate light-up panels on the side of the trucks. Now we also have a department bus that we also like to decorate and run in the parade. The thing is, we've used the same decorations for the past 3 years or so, we think it's time for a change. The OLD theme is the Smurfs, seen here:

Any ideas for the new decoration?
Music can't be heard over the sirens, but thanks for the audio suggestion =]

PostHeaderIcon Would this make a good story (2)?

OK I made a first story and some of you guys liked it and some of you guys thought i could do better. I would love to know if I'm doing it right this time. Even though your comments were good enough to make people feel bad it actually helped. I've been writing these stories from my dreams and it helped! So thanks guys! So here is another story I hope you guys like.

**YES ITS TRUE THAT PEOPLE CAN CHANGE EYE COLOR WHEN THEY CRY**. my eye color is really light- brown and when I was little my eyes turned kind of green

There was a young woman named Jennifer Bell she was 20 years old. She was very beautiful. She was half Jamaican and Italian. She was tall, 5'8" She had straight dark brown hair with dark blonde-almost light brown highlights. She wasn't that light but very beautiful. But the prettiest thing about her was her eyes. Her eyes were dark green with gold streaks. But ever since she was a baby, when she cried her eyes would turn sky blue. She just finished all of her coarses in college as a hair dresser at 20 years old. She was almost ready to buy her own place. Almost, but until she had enough to pay for the apartment, she would live with her parents.

Living back at her home was very dull to her. So, every day she would take a walk in a park just a couple blocks away from her. She would walk in the park and stop at a well to eat lunch.

One day, she wasn't alone at the well. She met a young man. His name was Micheal Gates. They were talking about their jobs and their lives. He was telling her how he grew up around that well. He was Jamaican and 23 years old and owned a construction business. But in some way he made it sound like his workers didn't like him that much.

Fast Foward into 3 years later, she's 2 months pregnant and marrying him that day in Hollywood FL. They were just so nervous she forgot her wedding ring at the house they were staying at. The house was about 15 minutes away from the church. He said he would go get the ring inside the safe at the house.

An hour later he still hasn't shown up at the church He should have been there already. She waits about a half hour and thinks something is wrong. The family and friends are arriving. She calls the police and borrows her fathers truck and speeds to the house. She finds the half of the house on fire and panics. She tries to get in but she has the baby and there is no way in. The police show up and later the fire department. They cant get in either. They put out the fire and she rushes in. She sees furniture in ashes. She walks into the bedroom and finds the ring on the floor and his body half in ashes. Her eyes turn bright blue and starts to weep.

Two days later at the funeral she hasn't slept, only cried. After the funeral she went home crying. Later on in the afternoon, she visited the well. She remembered everything from the first time she met him. Three days later 6 men were arrested accused of the murder of Micheal Gates. Three she recognized from his business. The other 3 were named to be in the Jackson mob. Every day she visited the well. One day she had a baby girl. She named her Michelle Gail Gates. She went every day with the baby, or until the baby wasn't a baby anymore. Until one day she didn't show up. That day Jennifer had died. She died at 86 with one daughter 3 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. She never married another man. She never loved anyone like Micheal

PostHeaderIcon 85 Chevy Elcamino, will not spark from the distributor…Why? Any suggestions?

I have an 1985 Chevy Elcamino with an 87 chevy elcamino small block 305 in it. I replaced the intake manifold and also the carburetor. The engine ran before in the 87 but it was totaled so now it is in a 85 but now I can't get the engine to fire. It turns over but I have no spark from the distributor to the motor. I have replaced the distributor, cap, rotor, coil, module. Everything is new, it still didn’t work. I made sure the ground to the coil is in place and that the dist. Even went as far to ground the dist. manually. I bought a whole distributor (accel) new battery, new plugs and wires, and the battery wire to the distributor reads 12+ volts. But a test light(which I made sure works) from the cap also says the cap isn’t spitting out power. The rotor is pointing at #1 and engine is at TDC. I tried to cut out the whole system to test it, cutting out the wiring but jumping it straight from the battery…nothing. What else could be keeping it from firing and how do I fix it?

It is assembled, ready to run…..just will not spark.

Serious Answers only please!
Turns out the Parts store gave me a distributor for a chevy van and when I took it back, they gave me a better brand of the same one. The module had 3 prongs which let to another pigtail. This was not for my application and the power was going out and couldn't complete a circuit. I made sure it was the right one, they said yes, so calling the manufacturer, they gave me the right part number. Turned the Key.....automatically started....after the engine sitting for 3 years...gotta love a chevy!. It cut off, has to be timed and adjusted. Problem SOLVED!!!

Thank you all for your help!

PostHeaderIcon Mufflers How many is too much?

I have a 1989 Chevy S-10 Pickup with a 2.8L engine. I bought new. Here is my problem. After the truck was 2 or 3 years old I needed a new muffler and that lasted for 8 or 9 years. Now here is the problem. In March 2000 I need another muffler so I went to Midas and they put one on. Then in May 2001 I needed to replace that one and another one in Dec. 2004, March 2005, Nov. 2005 and the latest April 2007. I had a tune up sometime last year which the truck wasn't missing.

Midas told me that my truck was missing and back firing and if the muffler fails again they will NOT honor it. My question is this. Is there something wrong with my truck that is making the mufflers go out so fast or are they selling cheap mufflers?

I have a appointment to take my truck in for diagnostic check up this monday.

PostHeaderIcon Moving to a different country?

Within the next 3 years I am moving from the USA to Australia and I want to know how exactly I am suppose to get my things there?

I am probably going to sell all my furniture and use the money I make from that to buy new furniture but I need to take things like my sons toys, his fire engine bed, his little hummer if he still fits in it, my computer and stuff that is important/valuable to me.

What exactly can I take on a plane with me? I would really like to keep things with me such as my sons baby stuff like pictures, his baby box and birth certificate. Will they allow that in a bag on board with me? I really do not want to take a chance of losing stuff like that
