Doing pretty good, thanks. How about you?

[Paul_Denton]

Doing fine :) Always nice to seea new face on this thread :) I am looking forward to seeing Serenity on December 20th when it comes on DVD. Going to buy it.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Sounds good. :-)

[Paul_Denton]

Did you see that movie or Firefly? I have the Firefly series on DVD. I am hoping to get Space Above and Beyond on DVD too.

[Victoria Delsoul]

No, I haven't.

[Paul_Denton]

Well it is very good. It is one of the few movies and TV shows that has a pro-freedom/pro-gun stance. Everyone in it is armed and it is about fightng against a communist-style enemy called 'The Alliance.'

Anyway I just been hanging back and listening to Within Temptation (music group) and writing my novel (checking in on FR while taking breaks) here.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Sounds like a nice movie. What kind of novel are you writing?

Nice depiction of the RNC, BTW-- I have had a COUPLE of S##tty weeks!! Last wekk I could NOT make hardly any money. This week, I have been unable to collect any money, about $340, that I have made!! On top of that, I told the boss about a Big screen, that was going to be tossed, by someone, and that he should get it. I figured I could fix it easily, (and I was not wrong there, about $30 in parts), and that we could pretty much split the money when he sold the set. Well, last week, he was kinda evasive, about wanting me to fix the set. Today, i found out why. HE had ALREADY fixed it, and was going to cut me out, of the sale of it ALTOGETHER!! He plans to get $350-400.00 for the set, and was NOT planning to give me ANYTHING from it!! I reminded him, that If I had not alerted him to thwe set, it would be in Rumpke's landfill now. He responded by saying that his FATHER was the one who had fixed the set, and that he (his father) was planning to give it to someone he knows!!. Now, he said" I'll maybe give you $20 from it, for "finding it for me!!" I feel cheated! I should get half, or near it, of what the set sells for, but it appears that I will be cheated(again).

It seems that God just keeps on putting me with people who take advantage of, and use me. Not to mention, yesterday, him and his friend were watching hard- core, XXX rated junk, behind me(the sound was down, so I did not know what they were watching, UNTIL, they began "describing", to each other, details of the tape(I am SURE you know of what I speak, that I do not have to describe it here!!) When I told them, that I did not wish to be exposed to this(again), they just laughed at me(again). AND-- he has a cadre of women, some not attractive, and some who are-- that come calling on him, daily!! It does not seem to matter, that he thinks of women as "objects'd'pleaseur'.. they STILL flock to him!! ALL of this just makes a bad situation for me, that much worse......... But, at least, I am still healthy. I am not so sure about him.

A hybrid of sci-fi epic and military thriller. It centers around a squad of Marines fighting against a tyrannical enemy. It is not that shallow. They also fight against enemies within (leftists) and there is even some cloack-and-dagger stuff as a result. Not only that there is some alien technology dicovered on a dangerous backwater planet called Sheol. Technology that is not necessarily a superweapon but would give whoever wields it absolute power.

[Victoria Delsoul]

That's very interesting, Paul. Good for you.

Need to go now. Nighty night.

[Paul_Denton]

I am sorry to hear what you are going through. I know what it is like to be stretched thin money wise. It is hard.

Sounds like your boss is a backstabber through and through.

He think women exist to pleasure men? Then he is an a***hole indeed. The women who hang around him clearly have problems too. I know how it feels though. I have had people gloat in my face about how lucky and happy they are to have women flock around them.

[Paul_Denton]

Thanks :) Well goodnight.

All your Pelosis are belong to us.

[pcottraux]

Whoa...where'd all these conversations and people come from?

I believe it's called hijacking a thread. There's probably a law against it. You might contact the ACLU and see if they will represent your interests in this case.

[pcottraux]

Actually, I like it. It's brought my views up to 230+ in one night. That's a new record for me.

[Paul_Denton]

LOL we did not mean to hijack it. Just talking.

Dang, sounds like a scumbag. I'm sorry to hear about your troubles, believe me, I know what that is like too. I think if I could, I'd be looking for a lawyer or at least look for some legal advice, you are getting screwed by this guy. What does he say when you ask to see if you can collect on past work? Also, I would see if there are other TV shops around. I don't know the current status of the TV repair business or the economics of it so maybe that would be easier said then done.

It seems that God just keeps on putting me with people who take advantage of, and use me.

Ugh, he sounds like a dirtbag to be sure. Again, I don't know the true situation of the TV repair business but if I could line another TV repair gig up, I'd jump ship. Sounds like he doesn't do much except watch porn and carouse with women all day.
