30 years hvac/ repair/ contractor. also own painting / remodel business. Medic in viet-nam. ( gosh, I,m old !!!)

  • My dog crawled between the walls to get a cat and got stuck. We rent and are afraid to damage walls to get dog?

    The dog seems ok for now and we fed and watered him today, but he is looking real uncomfortable. We have to go on a trip later today and we have reservations so can't cancel. What do we do? Leave dog with extra food and water or what? We really like this dog and don't want to lose him like last dog that fell into well outside ( polluting our drinking water). Any advice will be welcomed.

  • Why bother?

    I have taken the time to share over 30years of experience and knowledge over the last few months and its ; for the most part , a waste of time. more and more , I see a young ( read uninformed) readership only interested in giving the nod to young unknowlegeable people. So be it! Why bother to inform the unwilling. Have your way. " those un-aware and un-willing to know the past are desined to re-live it" Live on your own mistake's ( I am sure you will;won't be back )

  • Child support problems no one is interested in !?

    I have just moved to missiouri to receive medical treatment here. ( end-stage hep-C got as medic in Viet-nam ) I have been faithfully paying my child support all thru the years my children were growing up. My child support order was started ( court order) in Washington state. They are the receiving state. My children are now 29 and 24 years old and I am paying a balance amount of child support that was tallied afer they both were 18 yrs old. The court in washington state held a phone interview and decided that; when my older son was 21 that they had only recieved child support until he was 18 and they long longer had a copy ( of the 18 yr. old stop date) sitting in front of the judge , sooo., they wanted 3 years back child support. I said i would send them ( fax ) a copy of the order , but judge said " it should be in your file, since it isn't pay the 3 years back owing!"

    Long to short, now in missiouri, they want it all now( iv'e been paying a low monthly amount) I need help !

  • A poem ( maybe some one here can relate)?

    The years have passed,

    and now everyone remembers me

    and not the mask.

    It was hot,

    the place I was then.

    Where everyone was a killer,

    no one your friend.

    The blood fell and was washed away,

    the nights were deadlier than the days,

    And young men came to do,

    what we have always done,

    as fools.

    The sky did not betray,

    nor' did the water reflect,

    the shadows of folly; for we did not suspect,

    The part we would play.

    Now the years have fallen away,

    and the scales over our eyes have failed,

    to keep the secrets;

    we now find.

    And the memories,

    we cannot bind.

    How we suceeded and how we failed'

    some to heaven, some to hell.

    We stand and we fall

    and it starts again;

    to one, to all.
