What a way to spend a Sunday. It was good for the soul =)

FACEBOOK ….employment opportunities who knew

mfrancois0519 — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 01:53:03 +0000

Well, I have heard about facebook like everyone else, but to date, had not joined the community.

So this past Sunday, I joined and within 4 hours had reconnected with close to 40 friends from high school. So I started thinking, 40 people who are employed, know people who are employed, you see where I am going with this?

Well, just since Sunday, I have already been directed to or introduced to 7 employers and have submitted my resume. Remember the old commerical (okay I am dating myself again, but it aired in the late 70′s or early 80′s) the faberge shampoo commerical, they told two friends, then they told two friends and so on and so on. Well, it does seem to be working and it is yet another avenue to get yourself (resume) out there.

So go ahead, be bold and just do it. GOOD LUCK =)

A GOOD FRIEND……..

A good friend is something that not even the economy can bring down. Through good times and bad, they are always there. So here is to the people in your life that keep you grounded and smiling =)

YOU NEED KNOWLEDGE !!!!!

mfrancois0519 — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 22:22:21 +0000

As many of you know, I have been unemployed for going on a year now, but to date have not been able to secure employment.

I have been looking into ways to make money from home, and think I may have found a way to do so.

WWW.YOUNEEDKNOWLEDGE.COM

Many site make claims that you can begin earning $$$$$, lots of it right away. The thing I like the most about this site, is it is straight forward, doesn’t make unreal promises and most importantly, it offers you knowlege and the opportunity to learn more to improve yourself.

So good luck, I am going to give it a shot, I have nothing to loose and everything to gain…….KNOWLEDGE =)

NOT ANOTHER CHILD……PLEASE !!!!!

ECONOMIC STIMULUS

mfrancois0519 — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 20:11:14 +0000

“Sometime this year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment. This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A format:

“Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?
“A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

“Q. Where will the government get this money?
“A. From taxpayers.

“Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
“A. No, they are borrowing it from China. Your children are expected to repay the Chinese.

“Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
“A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

“Q. But isn’t that stimulating the economy of China?
“A. Shut up.”

Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely:

If you spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.

If you spend it on gasoline it will go to Hugo Chavez, the Arabs and Al Queda

If you purchase a computer it will go to Taiwan.

If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, Chile, and Guatemala.

If you buy a car it will go to Japan and Korea.

If you purchase prescription drugs it will go to India

     If you purchase heroin it will go to the Taliban in Afghanistan

   If you give it to a charitable cause, it will go to Nigeria.

And none of it will help the American economy.

We need to keep that money here in America. You can keep the money in America by spending it at yard sales, going to a baseball game, or spend it on prostitutes, beer (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses still in the US.

THIS SAYS IT ALL ……….

THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!!

mfrancois0519 — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 18:47:40 +0000

If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears
with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking Twenty-five miles to school every morning

Uphill… barefoot…

BOTH ways

Yadda, yadda, yadda

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up,
there was no way in hell I was going to lay
a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it
and how easy they’ve got it!

But now that I’m over the ripe old age of
thirty, I can’t help but look around and notice the youth of today.

You’ve got it so easy! I mean, compared to my
childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!

And I hate to say it but you kids today
don’t know how good you’ve got it!

I mean, when I was a kid we didn’t have The Internet. If we wanted to know something, We had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue!!

There was no email!! We had to actually write
somebody a letter, with a pen!

Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there! Stamps were 10 cents!

Child Protective Services didn’t care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our ass! No where was safe!

There were no MP3′ s or Napsters! You wanted to
steal music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself!

Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ’d usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!

There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car. We’d play our favorite tape and “eject” it when finished and the tape would come undone.

We didn’t have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you
were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that’s it!

And we didn’t have fancy Caller ID either!
When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your Bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn’t know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!

We didn’t have any fancy Sony Playstation video
games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like ‘Space Invaders’ and ‘asteroids’. Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen forever!

And you could never win. The game just kept getting
harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!

You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel! There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I’m saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled
little rat-bastards!

And we didn’t have microwaves, if we wanted to heat
something up we had to use the stove … Imagine that!

That’s exactly what I’m talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You’re spoiled. You guys wouldn’t have lasted
five minutes back in 1980 or before!

Regards,
The over 30 Crowd
