Those are my 5th great uncles. I can fairly say we have our share of dummies, but that is really anywhere. You know Daniel Boone's father was Squire Boone, he was from Europe.
Oh,Yes . I decided to go up to the north east of the USA to see if they were so much smarter than us.. They may be smarter in some ways but they pay people fifty bucks an hour to fix things they do not know how to fix. I fixed everything for ten bucks an hour .Kitchen sinks.Faucets.Electrical. Auto fuel pumps.audio amps .Thing I learned to at eleven years of age. They are good at reading insurance and tax papers. I just dropped by.I am working on a PC. There are some nice folks that come by. Watch for them.

Hmmm, it seems $10.00 an hour is nothing. Really, you should charge a little more considering the electrical jobs you say you do. I try to fix things, but I am 100% girl and I do not know how to fix the sink, washing machine...ect...right now I have a hole in the pipe under my bathroom sink and I got a bucket under it too. I have to pay this guy to fix it...it is going to cost me at least a $100.00...yikes!!!!!

Well.I could charge a lot more but I am either stupid or a Christian. I do a lot of trades. I am afraid to sty on jobs and make a lot of money over a long period of time because we have terrorist here call tax collectors.If they get to depending on you for a lot of money you have to continue as they find no limit on ways to spend more than they take in.------ People overcharge on many things.I guess if i had a wife and five kids I would hog up more money but I don't so I get by on less. The only thing I ever tried to do to get a lot of money is inventions but people cheat you out of them. Patents in the USA run about two thousands bucks and up.I always thought I could deal with businesses by their word. They study lawbooks to make the use of their word to the best efect. I have never been to Kentucky.I came close or flew over the state. I always wanted to see how it is. I had a big list of things I always wanted to do though but never finished it. When you are young you look forward to all kinds of things you dream up.I guess it makes you happy to think you will check off everything on the list.--------------------------- About the leaking pipes.They are designed to be cheaply made eventhough the price is high when you buy the junk.I used radiator hose from automobiles and wrote on how to make home drain plumbing of that.Some companies make them now. But most dealers like to sell the junk. If I was a Russian businessman I could build and export high quality things to the USA to replace all the junk.I think Russians build unbreakable and reliable things.We used to in the USA before the economy experts were allowed to influence the dumb CEOs.

Being a Christian is an excellent thing, Justo, admirable.
Being a human living here on terra firma costs money.
You sell your talents too cheaply,
your work is worth much more than
$10 an hour!
I keep telling you to be blessable
while you are being a blessing!!

You know I can't run away with you!! There are too many people here dependent on me. So just go ahead and get rich without me, of course "rich" is relative. If you are happy with what you have you are already rich. If you have an overflowing bank account and are not happy, you are not "rich".

Besides I am getting too old to run anywhere!! LOL

OK. If I get rich it will be an accident.Money worries me a lot when i have a lot of it. When you don't it is easier to count your friends.
