Jobs That Suck There are probably lots of jobs out there that suck, really suck. Like, cleaning out chicken coops in the hot summer; or laying hot black tar onto a rooftop of a commercial building; or jobs where you had to put up with jerks at work and a fat, bald headed guy that smokes a cigar.

I think my dad decided I had it too easy just playing for dances on weekends and making more money than my high school peer did working at burger shacks after school so he decided I should work in wheat harvest. So for two weeks I got to get up too early in the morning crawl under a WWII

See, Ann and Richard, this is why I prefer yahoo groups to Facebook. You post a picture and people can respond to it and that's that, Bob's your uncle! FB is too complicated and I'm on a learning curve with it! Ann, I still cut my own bangs. My maternal grandmother was a beautician and I think

Thanks, Ann, I'm still trying to figure out how stuff is getting on my front page. And how to unfriend those people! FB help was no help at all. And I see that people have lots of problems with it. Doesn't look like much fun! On Monday, January 20, 2014 12:20 PM, awoelfleba...@yahoo.com

Thanks, Ann, I called my best friend who LOVES FB and her SO answered and he walked me through unfriending. And explained about Front Page and Timeline. So I'm taking baby steps with it. But really, so far, I don't like it very much. It seems too complicated. But maybe I'll change my mind.

I don't know what they expect people to do for a living these days. It looks like there may be more jobs available in the medical field (after the current down turn is over). It's not complicated - there will be more and more older people for young people to take care of in the future.
