I have a partner, and we hire guys. I am a jobs creator you know.

(Assuming such an offer is still on the table by the time I get there.)

Even if the idea of multiple bee stings scares the crap outta me.

I don't call you guys pussies because I'm mean. I do it because compared to me, you are! [grin1]

And just for fun, my BA at the Union Hall just sent me up to Antelope Valley Station for a six month gig at the power plant. No rest for Dumbass Dakota this summer. I'm gonna be extra ornery until November.

We also use some contract labor - Mexicans - who could work circles around Gunny and Texas - at any age.

You happen to be correct, as just about every Mexican I have seen can in fact work circles around me, but I can work circles around most Americans, as I am extremely fit and work at a hard labor job, when done correctly, which I do.

Mucky Tundra (21h) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (21h) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (23h) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Malik Willis might be someone Jets come after

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Packers introduce 1923-inspired classic uniform, leather-look helmet

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Happy to see site feels more snappy snappy

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : It's funny the PA complained about the locker room. It wasn't that long ago it was top shelf. Things change in a hurry.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I saw that and thought it was kind of lame.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : Packers new locker room is pretty awesome. Great for morale, imo

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Shuffled things on the web server. Hope it makes it faster.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Other times, it's turtle ass

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Sometimes it's snappy, like now.

beast (23-Jul) : I feel like it's loading at the top of the next minute, or something like that.

beast (23-Jul) : Also the thanks/heart takes FOREVER to load, and posting in the shout box takes three times FOREVER!

beast (23-Jul) : Thanks for saying something, I thought it was slow, but assumed it was on my end

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Yeah, I noticed that too. Is it slow for PackerPeople.com too?

wpr (23-Jul) : I don't know what you IT guys call it but the page loading is very slow for me today.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : SSL might be settled now.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Still working through SSL cert issues

wpr (23-Jul) : Glad to be back

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I think PH original finally working.

dfosterf (22-Jul) : Can tell you are having a fun day Kev

Zero2Cool (22-Jul) : Yep, I had to manually move them. It'll fix itself after more posts.

Mucky Tundra (22-Jul) : Same deal with the songs/videos thread, says you replied last but when I go there it's what I posted earlier is last
