ROFL<BR/><BR/>Then I thought... "Is this Bone's way of telling us his girlfriend is pregnant?" <BR/><BR/>Hmmmm.... interesting.<BR/><BR/>Oh, I finally got all my blogs posted for the week, starting off with the one about the Sept 11 freaks, finally.<BR/><BR/>Cya this weekend!

I think it's good for everyone to have at least one experience like that. It makes you a better person and, later in life, helps you to appreciate your job a little bit more.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07324057161778622957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-1147463874389093132006-05-12T14:57:00.000-05:002006-05-12T14:57:00.000-05:00That was such a nice compliment you got. And thou...That was such a nice compliment you got. And though I've never met you, I think it must be absolutely true!<BR/><BR/>I've come to gain a greater respect for people that really must work hard and get paid little. It's funny how the people that get paid a lot of money, don't do as much work as those that sweat and slave for 40 or more hours a day. This was a new concept for me until recently. <BR/><BR/>I've also gained a great respect for those that really have to scrimp and save for everything. It can be a really ugly world out there when you don't have money to buy the necessities in life.<BR/><BR/>I think everyone should have a job like you described. Just for perspective if nothing else!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-1147458830577695832006-05-12T13:33:00.000-05:002006-05-12T13:33:00.000-05:00Renee: Love the bunnies!

No pressure really. Just hard, sweaty work. And when the horn sounds, the day is over. No thinking about work when you go home.<BR/><BR/>Mayden: Thanks for stopping by. Always great to have new readers and commenters.<BR/><BR/>I think you bring up a great point. They each have a story. They'll never be front page headline news.

But of course they do have names, and faces, and they have lives...and you added to their importance today by showing us their character...and yours as well.<BR/>The only person I ever knew who worked in a factory was my Grandmother, who was a seamstress, and sewed for years and years. To this day I have never asked her what she made in that factory...I guess I need to stop blogging and write her a letter!<BR/>Enjoyed my visit here...thank you :)<BR/>-Cora :)Mayden' s Voyagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169575773884459343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-1147441865129509972006-05-12T08:51:00.000-05:002006-05-12T08:51:00.000-05:00There's something to be said for manual labor.

I'm sure you started off with character though, that's the kind of guy you are. But it does shape you. I like to volunteer to do manual labor. I get double the high...helping and working hard. <BR/><BR/>And no, there is no Milli Vanilli. None.

I've worked for a lot of the minor ones...never McDonalds or Burger King though.<BR/><BR/>When I worked for Hardees (aka Carl's Jr, depending where you are) They thought that I had management potential. hee hee So I went threw a process of learning everything. When I did my stint of being the biscuit maker I had to be at work every day at 5am. I didn't have a car, so I walked to work about 2 miles...maybe more. It's a wonder that I'm still alive.<BR/><BR/>I've got bunnies on my blog.Renee Nefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167893445846427824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-1147406931080371172006-05-11T23:08:00.000-05:002006-05-11T23:08:00.000-05:00Blondie: Yes, it is.

I didn't go into detail for the sake of space.<BR/><BR/>The crane operator worked up high. So while he was idle, he could oversee a lot of what was going on in the department.<BR/><BR/>Again, great comment. Keep it up ;-)<BR/><BR/>Groovie: Yeah. I came to know the places that were open after midnight. That's for sure. Always felt more places should stay open. There are a lot of people who work similar hours.Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096591352278195759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-1147401353261425652006-05-11T21:35:00.000-05:002006-05-11T21:35:00.000-05:00I remember a time like that.
