    Banks and bankrupt car washes

    The jobs report isn't helping either. The u3 at 8.5 but comparing apples to apples (the unemployement # changed in 93' under Clinton) the real rate of unemployeed is the u6 which is 15.6%. That the average unemployment rate from 1930-1936! And we have 3-6 more months of job losses ahead. We are...

    Banks and bankrupt car washes

    well isn't it funny how fast some of the banks who took TARP funds are trying to give it back after Congress passed that 90% tax on Executives of firms who took TARP FUNDS! Now they really didn't need it, but wanted it to make the books look better and to acquire other banks, yet they lending...

    Banks and bankrupt car washes

    BTW, the appraisel was ordered by the bank and was low IMO 2-3 months before I closed. Had I chossen an apprasier It would have been 10-20% higher. I tried to sell for over a year. I had collateral, I had equity, I had a signature line, I had a credit score over 770. I payed off my signature...

    Banks and bankrupt car washes

    JK, I WAS NOT IN DEFAULT at that time. If fact I approached the banker before I was behind in any payments seeing what was happening and asking to: 1 restructure, 2 go interst only. They said no. So when I got 30 days, they told me "get current and well go interest only" so I cashed in $8,000...

    What's so wrong with the AIG bonuses?

    They voided UAW union workers contracts. Don't they count on that extra income to feed their families? Fine, then don't give AIG any money for tax payers and let them have no jobs and no bonus. As far as Dodd's involment goes... that will all come out and he too should go down if it was done...

    Banks and bankrupt car washes

    They won't do it. I tried. The TOLD ME TO SEE MY ATTORNEY when I handed them $50,000, enough to carry me into this year. The banks don't want to help businesses, that's why they aren't lending the TARP funds out. They want the best of both Worlds, no risk and all colateral..... that's not what...

    Sump Pit Dirt

    have you had your pits or tanks pumped? The hauling Co is required to give you a slip saying that they are "certified" to handle hazardous waste and the test what is hauled off. The cost of some of the test were between $200-$700 individually. "Dry" sump material is not considered hazardous but...

    How do brushes grab ... and even kill?!!

    and the girl in Ocala who lost her leg when a hose got caught in the wraps and pulled her in. I too had a pressure washer pulled in when an employee was spraying down the tunnel and into the side of a car..... employees are not very smart and car washes can be a dangerous place.

    B-29 model aircraft

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7jxgDZvWPk This was one of my favorites. Note that the POLEESE fly over to check out the model RC planes. And note that if you attempt to fly RC planes off an RC plane track or order RC plane parts... Homeland security will track you. Check out his other video...

    Pad Perfect

    I never had much "sling" from PAD PERFECT if I kept the machine clean. Daily I would run a rag, or my finger's between the lower rail and the pad to get out any "goo" that would settle overnight. Because of the design (unlike the McNeil) the silocone would settle with the trapped dirt/rubber and...

    A Proposed Revision To The Federal Income Tax Regulations

    So MAC and Bubbles voted for RON PAUL? I for one would love to see the IRS be desolved, it would save tens billions of dollars overnight to manage a system that no one can navigate. But this will not happen. Whole cities are going bankrupt now because they are losing on their investments, yet...

    Silver Lining?

    But here is the scarest part, Jan, Feb and March will likely shed far greater jobs then Dec. Credit card defaults will rise also. The actual unemployement rate is not 7.2% because it is reported as the U-3 unemployement rate that was changed in 1995 under Clinton when it was historically...
