You could always join the Reserves or National Guard...but then again, you'll have to do basic training, AIT-and most likely you'll head off to Irq or Afghanistan...the military is always hiring...lol, good luck?

Actually it's pretty good. Vendors are the first one's to know when something hits the fan or picks back up and it is trending upwards very well, just as the stock market is 1500 points above the 7k mark it was at 2 months ago.

Sorry to hear you got the can, OP. Just imagine if you'd left the word "off" out of it, things wouldn't be so bad now would they?
