In Reply to: He is GREEDY!!! - ME

My own physician is not U.S.-born (Indonesia) but has told me he feels if one is to be an American (which he now is) then once must have some commitment and loyalty to America. He thinks the off-shoring is horrible, is angered about the way U.S. MTs are treated in general, refuses to allow his work to be sent out of the U.S., and tells me he thinks the stress of MT is causing me health problems and not enough exercise. LOL
Now THAT is a patriot.

:) LOL...well, I was born in CT and lived in OR most

of my life, so I'm a yankee through and through! I lived in SC for 2 years, though, when I was in the Navy, but that's my only southern accent experience. Funnily enough, my first-born son had a southern accent for his first couple years. (He was born in South Carolina.) He would crack me up by saying, I doun't wanna go ta baaayed! I doun't wanna take a naaaayap! Where's my Batmaaayan? I wanna go ta MACdonaud's! :) :)

I was born and raised outside of Philly...sm
all my family is still there. Live in Oregon now, but would go back in a heartbeat! Nothing like being close to New York, AC, Washington DC, not to mention all the great food in Philly and the wonderful WaWa! Mmmm, TastyKakes and cheese steaks!

Born yesterday, nope and not everyone knows
what Toth is as per the person asking above in this thread. I work as independent, I work certain days and certain hours and if I run out of work I don�t have to make up and just do whatever I want for the rest of that day. I am not a slave to my computer, my home, my employer, no one. You gotta first grow a backbone and do what ever is necessary in order to try to retrieve your pay.

My father born same year so
you and I are probably 2 golden oldies, right? I love these years, so far, so good.

Originally from Waterford, born in sm
Pontiac. Now live in NC. My sister still is in Highland, other relatives/friends, White Lake, Novi, Waterford, Pontiac, Clarkston, etc, all over Oakland County. Actually am going up on October 10 for 2 weeks.

Good for you; you're a natural born MT and I wish you well. nm

Christmas is a holiday because Christ was born...
President's Day is a holiday, too. And I'm guessing very few people in this industry get paid for THAT!! It's not all about YOU!!!

True. My dad was born in 1914 and I heard him use it
I think they may even say it in some old movies. I grew up hearing it... it was slang for looking for, hoping for, jones'n for a new job, etc.

I was born in Roswell so that makes sense
