Love it! While I hate that particular style, I have to tip my hat to you for coming up with an innovative way to turn a dollar or two from that fad.

I have been in the mortgage industry for 14 years - the company I worked for (AHM) filed bankruptcy and I lost my job 18 months after my move. There are no good, solid mortgage companies left and I can't find a suitable job in Michigan despite an outstanding resume and work history. If I accept a management position elsewhere, I will either have to let my home go into foreclosure (since it can't be sold due to value) OR I can abandon my family and commute to another state. My unemployment runs out in 4 weeks - but, I won't notice because I used to make PER DAY what I receive every 2 weeks. My savings is dwindling down to next to nothing and my outstanding credit history, savings and clean 'all-american' life is on the verge of no longer existing.

So, what's the good news? I decided to open my own company and sell controversy and it seems to be working.

My hat is off to you!!!! INVENT!!!!

Trashpants is too funny. If I had trashkids I would buy them some. My kids dress differently I do not think that they wold be interested in this, but it is really funny. the first time my kids saw that look they said that we should take the kid to salvation army and buy him some pants that fit - poor guy. Little did we know that such pants are worth $50+.

Good for you on coming up with a clever idea. If we had more of you, we would not need automakers anymore.

worse part is that I have to spread it around more before giving out rep again to you. I owe you cookies for the chuckle I got this evening reading this exchange.

Thanks, I like sugar cookies with frosting. I am looking at every well log they turned in for five years. If you follow any car long enough, they will make a mistake.

Wish I knew your address, I'd send you the best damn sugar cookies with frosting you ever ate. In the mean time I will have to spread around some rep to others then get back here.

I do agree drilling in Michigan is way down. That is where knowing how to buy supplies in huge amounts, no employees, and having the best (and fastest) equipment makes us able to drill at a higher profit. We also enjoy a great reputation.
