Some surprises in there! Curiously, I called up San Diego, what's the cheapest mobile home for sale there? I've always assumed the lot rent down here will kill you, even if you buy a mobile for $5k. Not so! Found 3 55+ mobile home parks with a lot rent at around $500, but they're co-ops, the board needs to approve you before you buy. No sweat there!

Sheesh! You can pay $400-$600 lot rent right here in Las Vegas! Or Phoenix or Tucson!

Spotted an older 60's mobile home with lots of photo's, only one large bedroom, in San Diego, for $13k. Step up a bit in cost for a 2 bedroom!

So! Now San Diego is in the running! I hate San Diego! Boring! Boring! But, I'd be cantina-hopping weekends, getting some cheap medical care across the border in Tijuana! Spend some time in Rosarito/Ensenada!

All depends on what I get for my paid-off house here in Las Vegas!

That doesnt sound too bad! Newer trailer parks arent anything like they were 30 yrs ago either. I know a retired guy who sold his house, spends 6 months in florida and 6 months up here for about what his property taxes used to cost him in ny. These places are nice...well landscaped, pools, health clubs etc...they're not for everyone, but not a bad option either. Just stay out of places like this one

If I did leave, I would like to move to Australia. That is about it.

LVD I was only joking with that post, I hope you didnt take it to heart

Australia is beautiful, I meet Australian tourists all the time, they tell me nothing but good things

Yes, Pommy, I'm working on kissing her behind. I just remember when our late mother said that her first words were her attempt to say my real_name.



Thanks, Kimba. I start out on the range tomorrow, doing pre-trip inspections. I just wish that I hadn't broken my shades!



As you know, LVD, both of our parents are gone too, and I'm the one who found our mother's body. What would I do in your situation? I'd be your sister's best man. From what I understand, she's your only family. Our mother was an only child, and I really don't know our late father's side of the family. Family is family, no matter how bad things get. Yes, I know that I complained about things, but people do that. Part of being an "old" fart, I guess.



Sigh...yes, Pink. I'm not sure where LVD is living now, but it's probably a lot further than where I am now. I have a bus pass, given to me by the school, and I'm very happy not to have to sleep on a park bench, in this weather, especially since I've got a touch of a cold/flu that I've had for the past week. My sister is letting me use her computer while she takes a nap, and I'm quite happy that she did.

LVD lives off Twain, east of the strip (Sorry LVD, I wanted Aqua to get an idea, but for your safety I wont be too specific) Aqua your trucking school is in North Las Vegas right? My father attended MTA back in 1995, it is now called RoadMasters in Orlando, FL. But FWIW I'm glad to see things are on the up and up Aqua, take good care of yourself, this trucking thing is gonna be really good for you

I'm still enjoying life up here in the NW and I don't regret moving so far from work (sometimes though I do wish I could go to the strip and hang out, but I prefer to save gas, 40 miles round trip 5x a week is enough driving) I've begun going to the gym again and drinking my Boost protein shakes like before. I'm planning to buy this product called "Animal Stak" supposedly my co-worker said it would help build 15 lbs of muscle in 1 month. If thats true than I will pick some up

Airics if you're reasing this I understand your frustration with the Cosmo now. I was supposed to start the "Pool Host" last week and they have now put it off again and I have now once again gone from 40 hrs a week to about 24, only working weekends or at the will of the managers. I was considering filing a complaint with HR but several other coworkers have done that and they told me HR did NOTHING.

This is really discouraging because I love the Cosmo and I believe in the brand they try to sell but at the same time, the disorgranization of the place is RIDICULOUS, especially in the pool dept. Granted they have done their best to give me at least SOME hours, I need a solid 40 a week, and it seems like that just isn't gonna happen

HR will not let me transfer until I hit my 6 months either which wont be until September

I have had NO LUCK finding a 2nd job either because everything Im qualified for is retail and food and beverage type work and I cant work for them because they want FULL weekend availability, which is when I work at the Cosmo. I'm not going to quit the Cosmo to work for $8 an hr when I can do the same thing there for $14 an hr

Idk what to do, sorry for the negativity

just a quick tip:

check out GOMAD and Stronglift 5x5. putting on muscle is directly related to protein intake and lifting. google for the link. some people really like gomad; others use the diet guidelines on the S 5x5 site.
i'm not a big fan of supplements, although creatine is well liked by lots of peeps.

Remember that epic day when someone actually responded to one of my resumes out there? Well I responded to them immediately and heard back....exactly nothing.

Oh well! Like I said, I'm glad to have just heard from someone, anyone. Back to the hunt!

I have heard creatine simply builds mass and not strength

that may be true. but isn't it also true that in order to build mass, one must lift weights, and therefore, creates strength? creatine + weights = strength

Good point, I was just stating what a coworker of mine who is a body builder told me.

I'm going to try animal stak, I may throw in some creatine too. I like going to the gym in my apartment complex, granted the machines dont always work and a few dumbbells are missing, but I can use it for free and it is much less superficial and image conscious than Las Vegas Athletic Club in Summerlin at Rainbow and Lake Mead

Hey Davie, I used to work for this guy back in Phoenix for a while. He taught me a lot:

Larry Reynold's Affordable Personal Training: phoenix weight loss, phoenix personal training, weight loss arizona

He has some free videos on youtube on how to work out. Basically, you need short but very intense workouts 3X a week. I personally would advise you against taking any supplements with the exception of protein (take 1 gram of protein to each pound you weigh.). It takes hard work and a proper diet, not animal stak. If you are only trying to gain, avoid cardio and only do strength training.

[elkotronics]

If you have COPD or other obstructive lung diseases, go heavier on the aerobic workouts 2-3 times a week for an hour a day and you'll do yourself the most good. Get the heartrate going faster and get the sweating going and check your pulse rates before, during and after.

Young men who don't exercise lose 12% of their muscle mass per week if they're inactive and working to get it back takes at least twice as long to get it back so the key is to get exercising and stay exercising no matter what your age. Check with your doctor if you wonder about exercising under your current physical conditions. It's really important!

Aqua-good show, buddy. I keep praying for you and it looks like it's helping, I am really happy for you and your current situation. Be thankful to your sister and kiss some ample hindquarters, in this case it's really necessary. I'm listening to some Foghat 'Rock and Roll Outlaws' and 'Fool For The City' on YouTube as I type this out. Pop on some Jethro Tull if you aren't already and groove to the music, aqua, and keep doing just as you're doing. Before long you'll be self-sufficient and on your way!
