So I got an offer to test for a police officer job in Texas, but getting there is up to me. It's going to cost a lot of money any way I go about it, and I don't know what to do.
Can you take the bus? I'm not sure how inexpensive that is these days.
The other question is how sure you are about getting the job? If you stand a good chance, then go for it.
If you decide to do it, I wish you luck.

I could take the bus, but it's not that much cheaper than driving. Plus the bus creeps me out and I'm not sure how well I could get where I need to be if I take the bus. The other thing is I'm not sure if I will get the job. I know I can pass the written portion of the test and the interview, but I'm not sure how well I will do on the physical part of it. I only have a few weeks to get my body back to a place that it hasn't been in fifteen years.

Yeah, if it's not much cheaper than driving, then avoid the bus. I do remember some creepy trips when I was in college and I took the bus home.
How long do you have to get back into shape? If you've been doing some regular exercise, it shouldn't be too bad, right? (not that I would know much about regular exercise, though, since I've developed an allergy to it)

I test on October 3. I've considered not going, but then evry day i go without a job I will sit and wner if that was the job I was meant to get and missed my chance.
Hmm...I like what I'm hearing out of Flash and David today. (Except for the hard to get here part.)

Had a good day. Went out to visit the Mother and Father in law. He seems to be doing ok, but they think they will have to do another surgery later this comming week because they couldn't stop the bleeding in his brain.
On the up side he is up and moving around and eating well. We had tuna and ham sandwiches and chips with Cocunut cake for desert to celebrate Moorlucks belated B-day with them. Kids played out in teh fields and they took a nap. LOL, was kinda humorous to see Moorluck and his mom and step dad all sprawled out sleeping on teh sofas. :)I hope you all had a good day. :D
Didn't they get pecan sandies?
if it is any consolation, any money spent on job hunting (eg. travel, hotel, and some meals) can be deducted from your federal taxes. don't know if it helps
I hate paying taxes. I'd rather spend my money on hookers.

Bonus points if you can tell me why they are called hookers.

It's definatly something to consider David, what about the possible job that we spoke about before? We still have our fingers crossed for you either way.
Shhh... we don't talk about that or the CIA will have to come and "have words" with us...
and I do so hate it when people talk with silenced handguns...

Should I really be posting here when I am supposed to be back at the party...
I just came home to pick up some play clothes for Caitlin so she doesn't get her good dress dirty on the jumping castle and here I am talking to you guys...
For shame. I've never done that before. :)

As long as I get what I pay for, who cares!
Don't stay too long. I don't know about your wife, but my wife can sense when I've been on the computer instead of doing what I was supposed to be doing.
'cause they hook in and get the job done...I hate paying taxes. I'd rather spend my money on hookers.Bonus points if you can tell me why they are called hookers.
Nope, actually they earned the title fo hookers from service men b/c they would service them in alleys, up against a wall and hook their legs around them.

Sorry but prostitutes began to be referred to as hookers during the civil war.
Gen. Joseph Hooker believed the best way to keep up the morale of his troops was have prostitutes follow the army so his men could be serviced regularly. The prostitutes were called "Hooker's girls" and later shortened to Hookers.

Dang, now I wish I was still in that History class so as to contridict my professor. He was quite sure of my earlier statement. Huh...Just as a side note...this was a college class...not high school. No contibuting to the delinquency of minors. lol

They don't know where the word came from.
I've been internet snooping, and the term "hooker" applied to a wanton hussy predates the General of that name, although apparently he was indeed a monger of such.....
It was prolly coined by some anonymous cockney-phrase-coining ruffian who died of consumption in an alley in the winter and whose ratgnawed corpse was shunted into a pauper's grave.
shaddap, yi spoilsport bastard!!!
.
Oh darn....
Still 4 days to game-day...
Oh! And new page!
Wow...real active tonite....what is everyone asleep or something?!
Been quiet as of late in general.
