1. Nope, no more beer for me. I'm driving a whole busload of us down to
re-elect OBAMA!

Best post yet heybub. I take it you are fromTexas?

You might add, "I never employ illlegals to do work about the house."-

Nope, doesn't apply. *I am a Texan and I made that statement several
years back. *As a result, I have to do all of my own yard work and
work on the house since it's almost impossible to find anyone who
doesn't use illegals for those jobs.

On the other hand, I used to pay $35 a week to have my yard mowed and
trimmed. *I now do it myself, do a better job, and it only takes me 30
minutes to do it. *I don't mind making $70 an hour and the yard looks
great.- Hide quoted text -

Even if that kind of math made sense, you're "making" $35 a week, not
$70 an hour.

But of course we all know that you aren't making one red cent

I pay myself the $35 that I would have paid to someone else for 30
minutes work. *The last time I used the calculator that came to $70
per hour of work. *I never said that was my only income just that I
was making $70 an hour for doing my yard. *What I still haven't
figured out is why the yard crew that used to do my yard took almost
45 minutes to do the job with two people.

As for not making one red cent....A penny saved is a penny earned..- Hide quoted text -

Your total net worth just before cleaning your yard was $X.

What was your total net worth after you spent the 30 minutes cleaning
the yard?

If your net worth did not increase after cleaning your yard, you
didn't earn one red cent.

If your net worth did indeed increased by $35 after cleaning the yard,
please tell us where the money came from. There has to be a debit
someplace to offset the credit, unless you printed the money yourself.- Hide quoted text -

So you jusst ignore the fact that if he paid to have it done he would
be $35 poorer. *Your nit-picking argument is just that and a poor one
it is.

Harry K-

Not to mention the simple fact that I never said I earned $70 an hour
but that I was making $70 an hour for my efforts. *That doesn't mean
that I have to be paid for it only that it is a measure of the value
of the effort.

making. The means of gaining success or realizing potential:

I guess when you've completely run out of ways to refute my arguments,
the best option is to play the semantics card.


You were the idiot who started the semantics game, not me.

Let's see, I'll search this thread myself, instead of paying someone
to do it for me, and "make" a few pennies.

Oh, look what I found:

"$35 dollars saved is $35 dollars earned."

I wonder who said that

That was after you had already started on your ignorant tirade about
"earned" moron. My original statement which you now want to ignore
said "making" not "earned". Now take your ignorant arguments and put
them someplace useful, up your ignorant ass.
