The CFL Fraud
 
A compact fluorescent light (CFL) on the ceiling burst and started a
fire in a home in Hornell, N.Y. December 23, 2010. "Those are the
lights everybody's been telling us to use," said Joe Gerych, Steuben
County Fire Inspector. "It blew up like a bomb. It spattered all
over."

I used to know a gal from Hornell,New York.That was back around December
1969 when I worked part time at a Krystal hamburger restaurant on Terry
Road.
Her New York accent, she pronounced box as bax.A Seargent (Seargent
Funk) in our 114th Aviation Company ammo supply unit at Tan Son Nhut was
from Mechanicsville,New York.
Everytime I stepped into that office to dial a phone number to let a
certain office know we had a load of ammo sitting on the Hard Stand, I
always had to say, WORKING!

That telephone in that office was for Official Business, ONLY!
Seargent Bates had told me before the first time I hauled a pallet load
(with a forklift) of ammo to that Hard Stand and when I step into that

then I hop back on that forklift and get on back to our ammo dump.

Just another scam perpetrated in the name of the environment that is

One more in a growing line of "AlGorisms".


Fluorescent is a great way to go ... however, the old fluorescent were
much more green ... first of all, you didn't replace (throw away) the
ballast every time you changed the bulb.

Should just have an adapter containing the ballast and just replace the
SHO fluorescent "curly Q" tube, tons of ballasts filling land fills is
completely senseless!

'Special-Dave -proclaims- Fiscal Martial Law in Michigan !

The implementation of Fiscal Martial Law in Michigan and the raising
specter of such legislation’s enactment in Wisconsin make it clearer
than ever the true nature of the enemy. The Republican assault on our
democratic values, local governance and workers’ right to have a voice
in the work place can best be described as a fascist coup-d’état. In the
words of Mussolini, “fascism should more properly be called corporatism
because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” The Republicans’
bare-knuckle dedication to cutting taxes on corporations at the expense
of the deficit and the middle class exemplifies their loyalty to
corporate interests over those of every-day Americans. Perhaps more so
than any measure rolled out in recent months, Michigan Gov. Rick
Snyder’s implementation of Fiscal Martial Law legislation leaves no room
for ambiguity in the Republican gameplan.

Yes, the fine Republican Governor Snyder of Michigan that Lare helped

office the duly and freely elected city officials of Benton Harbor,
going against the *core values* of this country.

The only "justice" that may come out of this is when Snyder starts

Medicare and Social Security that Lare may be on.


As far as I know there will be no gutting of Social Security as I know it and am
currently collecting. However, as I calculated a few weeks ago, I could continue
to draw my current benefit out of savings for 198 months and that doesn't even
include what I receive from my two pensions.

My standard advice to all: Go to work and save and invest your money. If
necessary get two jobs. Bottom line, save as best as you can, and do your best
to avoid living paycheck to paycheck.

Excellent advice for public service workers protected by unions,
longshoremen still with a strong union, excellent wages, adequate
benefits and retirement, for small business owners (a disappearing
breed), people like me who worked union and had my own small business
(transferring it to family now I am retired), etc. but not so good for
the 18%+ who are unemployed in my area. They are not unemployed because
they want to be, but simply because their jobs are in china, india,
indonesia, etc.

Working two jobs has always meant putting together full employment for
yourself, even if it takes two jobs, until you have a ~40-48 hr. work
week. Now, the slave masters have stepped in and they are expecting
people to work 80 hr work weeks! Insanity! I only did this when it was
my own business, my boss was myself, I had complete control over my
working conditions, I chose the people to help me (employees), my hours,
breaks, etc., and I got all the profits from my intensive labors. I
have to admit, I would have NEVER done that for two minimum wage jobs
.... one of my neighbors is doing that, it is hard to watch ... a year
and a half of watching him and I can't see him getting ahead at all, he
fears being laid off one job as I write this. I think what he has been
though would have killed most men.

If you have a problem, and you apply a fix --- and you still have the
problem, so you reapply the fix ... at some point, it becomes obvious,
the problem is the fix and NOT the problem!

We will know, almost immediately, when the right things start being done
.... from that point on, things will only get better ... that stands in
stark comparison to conditions now ...

I remember one interesting moment at a factory I was working at (2nd shift) when I
mentioned to a gal that I'd worked that morning at another job. She said, why do you
do that, you can't take that money with you when you die.

My reply was, yes, I know that Susie, but I don't plan on dying tomorrow!

If so, then there have been other take-overs by other Michigan Governors (Democrat and

Much like that city in California, where fairly recently the clown 'tards decided to vote

Yes, we just differ on how they should "jump in". I favor the criminal
justice system or the recall process, as appropriate. You favor,
literally, a dictator. Your attitude makes it a little bit clearer how
dictators get in power, by people looking for quick answers.
Unfortunately, IMHO your 'solution', in this country, goes against the
core values and very foundation of our country.

Yes, the fine Republican Governor Snyder of Michigan that Lare helped

office the duly and freely elected city officials of Benton Harbor,
going against the *core values* of this country.

The only "justice" that may come out of this is when Snyder starts
taxing Lare's pension (assuming Lare gets one) and Ryan guts Medicaid,

Well, here's hoping Snyder doesn't tax both your pensions like he is
trying his damnedest to do.

My standard advice to all: Go to work and save and invest your money. If
necessary get two jobs. Bottom line, save as best as you can, and do your best
to avoid living paycheck to paycheck.

Bravo! EXCELLENT advice (not sure about the two jobs, though...a sad
commentary on life today). However, please don't lose sight of the main

If so, then there have been other take-overs by other Michigan Governors (Democrat and
Republican), especially with the Detroit school system.

WOW!

Economy is even worse than I thought! The neighbors daughter completed
jr college and is working for the county while completing here degree at
the four year, nights and weekends! She grabbed the county job to make
ends meet and have a decent apt.

I thought $30k for a two year college ed was pretty standard. You do
know the city cops here start at $50k with 6 months training and a
couple of jr college classes, right?

Where do you live, the Ozarks?

I guess I should have said, " ... at or NEAR minimum wage."

You can't find a taxi cab in my city, either. The taxi drivers end up
beaten, robbed and murdered. A few years ago one of the taxi drivers
carried a .357 and blew away his attempted robber ... they arrested the
driver, but due to public outcry, the DA dropped charges ...

Still, there is just too much chit around taxis, the cost of insurance,
etc. for anyone to want to make it a business ... if your car breaks
down, better hope its still light out and the busses are still running!

Just the cost of a garage to keep your car in, in NYC is more than a
nice 3 bd room apt in California!

No one owns a car in NYC (you always wonder where all the cars come from
which clog traffic?) it is much quicker to walk in most situations ...
where you must use a car, it is a taxi!

LOL

I bet, if you drive taxi, one of those is deductible on your tax return!

I can imagine an ad for bullet proof vests. Ad shows a taxi driver in a
fierce gun battle with two thugs. Thugs end up bleeding and dying on
the ground, plenty of blood running on the sidewalk ... taxi driver
steps up from behind the cab, bullet proof vest has a few lead slugs
hanging, dropping off ... driver has a big smile showing shark-like
teeth and says, "I wouldn't leave home without my bullet proof vest."
.... as he reloads his .357.

Cabs should require plastic (debit or credit).

In this day and age, with the interest and criminal fees, charges, fines
on credit cards, everyone is cutting them up and attempting to crawl out
from under thousands of dollars of debit ...

I think that would pretty well limit the number of taxis which could
make a go of it ... in NYC that just might work ... still, I think a big
portion of their business probably comes from people who have lost all
their credit cards ...

I know a lot of credit checks I am running on potential renters/lessees
are coming back showing that trend ...

Well, actually, I don't know -- because I don't know where "here" is.
Furthermore, in many big city metropolitan areas, they are LAYING OFF
police and fire, to say nothing of closing libraries, reducing city
services and reducing city staffs, either by layoffs or attrition.
Please try and take a wider view, rather than your local "here".

Well, thanks for that!

However, this is a NG. I do it for fun. My posts of spur of the
minute, off the top of my head, express real thoughts and beliefs and
facts and truths as I realize them to be. I don't spend much time on
them as they are just a "hobby."

If it appears I put that much effort into them, great! But, even a
letter to the editor, or an email/letter to my congressman/senator --
state or federal, gets much more thought!

I don't belittle nor minimize the unemployment problem(s.) Unemployment
it at 18%+, admitted (probably notable higher in reality.)

But, it mainly affects older workers, less educated workers, etc. I am
semi-retired and only have minimal duties in my own business ... I am
working towards full retirement, but have to shut myself down in an
orderly manner for best tax effects and the effects of other assuming
the business assets ... so, I probably am not as sharp on all this and
the new changes happening as those having a more active role ...

Hey, chill dude!
