Since I turned off my TV last fall, based on the advice from folks on this board, a lot of my friends who are still working are making less money. I guess the employers are getting back at the $100 an hour union thugs who were on the payrolls who didn't do anything [I know they're out there, because I read it right here...they come to work, they punch in, and they go to sleep somewhere until they have to go home...unless the plant goes on overtime].

Guess your daughter will have to get a second job...if she can find one. Heck, gasoline prices are down a bunch since last year, so her boss has every reason to pay her less...if he paid her the same,but her expenses went down, that's the same as a pay raise. Maybe she can sell the car and get out from under that payment. Can she carpool? Is she close enough to work to ride a bike? Can she "brown-bag" her lunch at work?

And she apparently CHOOSES not to have medical insurance; it's out there, if she chooses to buy it. Maybe she can cut out the cable TV to help pay for it. Maybe she can take the texting off her cell phone plan...or drop her cell completely, when her contract expires.

Not to make light of her situation, but there are a lot of "necessities" that young folks have today that would've been luxuries for us when we grew up, if we'd had access to 'em. Tell her to cut them out first, then see where she is. Fast food joints go through a lot of wait staff; it may not pay much, but it's honest work. And if she's only working 24 hours a week on her "regular" job, over a 7-day week that still leaves her a lot of hours available to work, if she really wants to work.

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS ... [Read Article]
