evening all.
just to followup with an earlier post about my impending job interview...unfortunately, I wasn't offered the position, ie over qualified... (which happened to be true).
thank you again for your show of support, guess it just wasn't meant to be.

Crap... I know how you feel. I went from a great full time position to a couple of part time no benefit jobs. Our economy, it's great!

Best of luck semi-lucky larry. Keep up the search.
 

Good morning everyone!

Here's a very interesting piece by Don Mclean from his American Pie album in 1971. Even though I played that single, I didn't have the album. I'd never heard this song before, and my kids turned me onto it a couple years ago. This was written in the Bible. It's from Psalms - but not 137 as I found someone said - that means I have to read more Psalms to find it !!!. It was first put to music in the 16th Century. This particular round melody was written in the early 1970's.

This is very haunting....



Revision!!!

I guess this is Psalms 137,

Here's a clearer "cover" with more understandable words....

Togreenfeet,

Glad you made it through a tough childhood and kept a healthy attitude....what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

I guess we remember the 70's TV Series "Kung Fu" One of my favorite lines from Master Po, the blind master - But how is it you can hear the grasshopper at your feet?" How is it you don't? I come from a horrible childhood. I left home at 16 joined the Army at 17, they had to find my parents to sign the papers and all..........So my role model was Qui Chain Kane, I wanted to be like him. I was a peaceful kid, studied martial arts, couldnt handle the beatings at home, alcoholic father, mom always taking up for him, I bled to much. He stole my childhood..................so anyway, I had a Pitbull with Blue eyes. I named him Master Po. Just like the character. So one day, good ole pops tried to cut my throat, still got the scar and Master Po attacked him, tore him up good.......Know what he told me? You better put him down by night time or they wont find you or your GD dog........the longest day of my life..........I LOVED my dog..........anyway why not join they could kill me but couldnt eat me, besides they couldnt do anything he hadnt done to me. Needless to say, the 4 SERE schools I would attend were shall we say walks in the park.........thanks guys, sorry about the old memories, but that @$$hole's been dead, I never attended his funeral..........I would have pissed on his grave..........Long live Grasshoppers, from master to pupils...........
 

lucky larry,

To bad about how the interview turned out.....just keep slogging away and something will turn up.

Don't know your skill sets but even doing odd jobs around the neighborhood beats not working...maybe be
something to consider at least short term.

Lucky Larry,
Job searching is the worst. ..so stressful and generates so many feelings..I wonder about a temp agency until you find something permanent. ..
I wish you all the best,
Barb

I'm sorry there wasn't anyone there to stop the abuse. society has an obligation to protect those too young to fend for themselves. those that knew yet chose not to act were just as guilty as your father. If you had children I'm sure you showed them the love and kindness which, as a child, you never knew.
thanks for sharing.
 

Squig well thought out and well put thank you

Hi greenfeet,
I appreciate your thank-you, but I think you are referring to Larry's post, which I also thought was a great response to yours...
Abuse in any form whether verbal or otherwise is unacceptable. ..
Hope you have a great day! :)

I wanted to speak to something and hopefully not everyone has gone to bed..
I know that some of us on this thread have posted on the political threads as well.
My thought is that we put our differences aside and have fun here.
I think a problem occurs when one person insults another on another thread.
My question is..how does that ever get resolved so that the group experience here is genuine?
Any thoughts you all???
Thanks...Barb

hey, I try to be nice... major fails at times, yes.
 

Crispin,

Thanks for dropping in buddy....remember it cuts both ways....we're here to give you moral support when you
need it also.

Folks,

I was going through some of my past finds and say quite a few silver chains, etc.....which led me to this song....lol...

The cookies - Chains.

 

I just want to say thank you to everyone. I became a Spec Ops medic, but it didn't bother me killing either. I had a long career from LRSU , to COLT team to Spec Ops medic. My career was cut short I was retiring after my last deployment anyway. However, there was this matter of an IED and A helicopter crash that broke my back. I spent all of 2009 in and out of surgeries, rehab and I'd do it again for all of you! I've seen hell and it ain't pretty. Embrace your friends, your family, tell your loved ones one more time you love them . Do something special for them. You never know when the next words could be your last so make them special. Make them count. God bless you all

Larry,

Although it doesn't seen it, every negative has a positive. They said you were over-qualified......that means that the next interview will find you in the driver's seat....keep bucking......Gary
