@okstatefan1 .. Not picking on you.. I have not liked this this stuff for a long time and maybe I should have expressed my opinion earlier. Not that you or others cant feel or do what you want.
I have been out of work for over year now. I spent 50 days in jail (could not afford the bail) for kicking the door in on my home with my now ex-wife in October of 2017. The charges were dropped and I have only been in jail for 1 other day when I was ~21 for a fight I got into with the lead bouncer at a club in Duncan. I am not a bad guy. I have been the Director of Global Sales and the Managing Partner of a company I had ownership in, in the Czech Republic. There are people on here that know who I am and can confirm what I have said.
I am busting my ass to get a job and have put out ~500 resumes over the last 13 months, but I truly believe I am having problems because of my age (49). It is a numbers game and it wont last forever, but it is what it is right now. I am not a cheap guy either FWIW. LOL.
Maybe Toon is lazy or maybe he has had some bad luck, but why not stop giving him shit about his situation and give him shit about his political stance.. Or maybe just give both of us the same shit about both of our situations.
BTW, I have never met Toon so while I respect some of his opinions I am not what I consider his friend. I have no problem in arguing with him that is for sure.
No war necessary.
I’ve lived in 6 towns with fewer than 10,000 population.
Plenty of churches to choose from.
Still clinging to my guns and Bible.
I’m 66 now, nobody from the government has ever asked where I worship or tried to take my guns or prevent me from purchasing ammo.
My government makes me proud.

Pretty much sums it up.
Thanks Washington.
Not sure what the 10K population has much to do with it, unless you are trying to make us believe that a large population of liberals live in small towns. Pretty sure 6 large cities could rule the presidential election if it were not for our founders and the electoral college
***please tell us if you agree with the electoral college*** I will ask you until you answer just in case you miss this question***
How come you couldn't afford the bail if you are not cheap? No motive here. No worries if that's private.
$25k - $2,500..bail.
Want to poke at me for my challenges? I have never been rich, but I have always made pretty good money. Years of 120-180K. Is that okay? LOL. Now I dont make shit so that should make some feel better.
Now I am telling my stories, but what the hell.
I came back from Czech and was deeply depressed and had major anxiety issues. My Dr. moved me from welbutrin to Paxel. Paxel is some bad shit for some and it was for me. Caused me a divorce, which is where I lost everything because I became a very poor/mean person. Really the best thing that happened to me is I went to jail and they were able to figure out what the problem was and get me off of it.
I don't want to poke at you, which is why I included "No motive here" and "No worries if private" in my post. $2500 bail seems small next to that level of income. Doesn't matter though, neither here nor there.
I understand you completely when you say that jail was the best thing that could have happenes.
I've had 3 DWIs, all in Texas. By the Grace of God (truly), every one of them is a 2nd degree misdemeanor...and only 1 is on my permanent record. For anybody that's had experience with this, you'll know that each subsequent infraction is supposed to be a degree above with the 3rd instance being a felony.
I was on a self destructive path and the clamps that were applied to me via a lengthy probation and zero alcohol policy helped me to understand that it's a lot better to prevent a disastrous outcome than clean one up. That period changed my life and made me a substantially stronger and more effective person than prior to it all.
Congratulations on ironing your things out, and good luck on the job search. DFW is a red hot job market, if you count mind people living basically on top of you.
Woa! It was an innocent question. At one time i thought he mentioned he was doing oil and gas work when he hurt his hand but he mentioned he moved back from Washington earlier in this post after he got hurt....so, i was wondering what oil and gas work he was doing in freaking Washington.....Nothing more, nothing less.
Industrial cleaning...Matrix Service. Worked in both Tulsa refineries, Koch nitrogen in Enid, a few other plants.
Thanks for sharing your story CB...hopefully we’re all better than we were on our worst days
Life is like the seasons. I had a bunch of springs, summers an falls. I am dealing with some winters, but I am going to get past it.. I am a winner and a Cowboy. Born a Cowboy and will die a Cowboy.
