When it was my turn, I pulled up and started to unload. After a couple of pieces, a lady appeared and started helping me. I told her I appreciated it, but she didn't have to do that. She just smiled and said neighbors helping neighbors. We finished with mine, so I pulled up a bit and she pulled her truck up, filled with limbs as well. We went to work on hers, and a really old guy started walking over with bags of debris. I helped him with a couple, and then a middle aged black guy helped him with his last two and started helping us. The three of us finished up, thanked each other, and left. That's the South I live in. It's really different than some would have you believe. 1. a lady appeared... white lady? 2. really old guy... white guy? 3. middle-aged black guy not a white guy? Why didn't you ID the first two "helpers" by race? The two guys who showed up yesterday to install the rest of our granite were careful and did a fine job. What color were they? It doesn't matter. The guy who is scheduled to come by tomorrow to do the plumbing for the faucets on the two sinks and install the disposal is also a meticulous worker. What color is he? Who cares. That's the street I live on...no one gives a flying **** about skin color, gender, religion, et cetera. On the street I live on, nobody gives a flying **** about your ****ing remodel job. I suspect nobody on rec.boats does either. Cept maybe your soul mate from the frozen north. -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ Hold on a sec there, Justine. Y'all don't mind reading Johnny Child's baking recipes...his constant blathering about camping, motorbikes and hillbilly music. In fact, we've never heard y'all say a single word about boating. Y'all have a nerve complaining about someone else's posts. In my opinion Harry is an asshole. I treat assholes like assholes. He's getting what he deserves. Get it? Apparently Don agrees wholeheartedly with your post! |

Y'all have a nerve complaining about someone else's posts. Did someone complain about your post? Does your misuse(s) of 'y'all' make you feel like one of the guys? Aparently Donnie prefers to listen to Harriets hate messages about anyone who isn't a liberal athiest. That's strange, because Donnie is a good catholic boy of the finest upbringing. -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

I've never heard anyone say " l'm going to move to Maryland when I retire." -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |
