When my wife's sister had kids and we didn't, we thought noisy toys for Christmas was funny.

Why are you setting up a booth?

If it's to make sales at the show, your headline, big ad, first thing I see should be what you're selling and why I would buy from you:

I spent the day today at a trade show. Took a couple of classes in the morning and spent about an hour in the exhibit hall this afternoon.

I was amazed again (same thought every year) at how...

I disagree that this is a good deal. Mom's a grown up and can do whatever she wants with her money but for me, that $800 a month invested looks a lot sweeter than driving a new car. If she's a...

Last summer, I was asked to teach a 4 week series of lessons on personal finance for our teenage Sunday school class. It stretched out to most of the summer and the kids were really into it.

If it draws 100 amps at 240V for 3 minutes, that's 1.2KWH for each fire. at $.13 a KWH, that's about 16 cents for each fire.

I think the fire sirens are a nuisance now that we have other ways to...

I'm sure it varies hugely depending on the size of the facility. I think your price range is about right for southern NJ.

I'm a facilities manager. About 1.2MM sq feet of buildings at 13 sites. 100+ employees under me including custodial, skilled trades, grounds. Roughly $1.3MM in outside contractors. One secretary...

I hadn't caught it but I agree with Maxter - something added about your attitude, attendance, all around great guy stuff would be a nice addition.

I believe the days of sending out resumes and waiting for the call are over.

Go see the shop owner with a resume in hand. Dress professionally. Hide your tattoos. Cut your hair.

I'm not surprised the bullet traveled that far, I am surprised it had enough velocity left to kill someone.

We have a "cold shot" by general I think. We've used it on a few jobs. It's worked well. We freeze two spots, one on either side of the repair we're doing and then drill a test hole to make sure...

At some point, I'd stop funding your "education" too. I understand how hard it is to pick a career. I've had a few myself and I'm still not sure what I "want" to be at 41 years old.

I hate working on cars.

Was fun when I was 17.

By the time I was 25, I was tired of fixing my old junkers because all I could afford were junkers and couldn't ever afford a mechanic.

Always...

I haven't done service work in a long time but I have 1 that I remember.

Did a project for a guy who was just creepy. Can't put my finger on it, he was just odd and very untrusting. He told us...

I think I'm low, My gut says 50% electrical.

The other 50% is mostly mechanical and a small percentage refrigerant issues.

Who knew that most refrigerant repair work would have nothing to do...

We had a rash of breakins in my rural neighborhood a few months ago. I wasn't hit but a lot of neighbors were. I live far enough from town that the police take a long time to respond and one...

My only guess is that it's talking about the plier-type piercing valves that lock onto a refrigerant line like a pair of vice grips.

These are used to evacuate small equipment like window units or...

In southern NJ this afternoon. Thought the 4 story building I was in might come down.

This was my first quake. My desk sort of wobbled in front of me and I was trying to figure out what was...

I thought the idea was to buy low and sell high.

I've been there. It's hard but it's temporary. In a few years, you'll look back on the hard times but they'll be over.

I don't know your situation so I'm not making judgements but something I...
