[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4268341, member: 5412"] Oh, heck no! :angry3: All I get is can you help me put in some electrical stuff, can you help me run a combine, can you help me remove the old fence before my new one gets in, can you help me put some pavers around my new building, can you help me, can you help me, can you help me, and so on....... Your retired, you have plenty of time! Now you know why we spend 7-8 months out of the year in the RV way to get the heck away from here. The last month and a half after getting home from the winter trip has involved a tad less than 100 hours of physical work doing some of the above. I spent 6 hours today and $62 removing debris from a yard at 92 degrees to take to a dump site. Yes, there is a method to stop this. No, is the way, but my conscience just doesn't have the ability to say that. Since I was a kid, some relative would try to pay me for doing a little job in the yard or whatever. It actually embarrassed me to take their money because I thought that helping was just something you did. Even as a kid. Guess that's why I've volunteered for non-paying jobs over the years at civic and gun club organizations. At the gun club, it always amazed me when members wouldn't come out to help the facility, they were members of, yet bitched when something was not to their liking. Get your butt out there and fix it!! I have hundreds of excuses that I can relate. [/QUOTE]
