    Why not go be a mall cop or security guard somewhere until you can find a better job? Isn't a shitty paycheck better than no paycheck?

    Saving money out of your paychecks. I suspected you were un-American, but now the truth is out.

    Hmmm I wonder if people would have helped my mom and I after Ike if I had set up a goFUNDme account?

    My life still isn't the same since then and I haven't recovered financially. My mom is in worst shape after Ike being that she spent most of her retirement trying to rebuild.

    Insurance didn't pay for shit, coverage was great, but they fought amongst themselves about the flood being an actual flood or wind driven flood. Took Allstate a little over 6 months to get out to the property. Everything that I had pictures of inside was devalued significantly, even if they were less than a year old. All my childhood pics, toys, keepsakes, momentos, family heirlooms/jewelery, boat, cars, motorcycles, clothes, washed away. I still had stuff that was good, but it is way less than 50% of what I had. I actually kept the bedframe from my bedroom and it has evidence of salt spray on the powdercoated frame that was on the second story of the house towards the front that got literally no water but was hit with seaspray.

    I never asked for a handout and I'm still not mad at that guy for trying an alternative route for modding his truck lol.

    I must admit that I owe Dylan and David and lot for their help through that time. Those guys came and worked hard to help clean up after Ike. I should have listed to David and took my M coupe, miata, and motorcycles to his place...live and learn.

    And I'm sure your parents help you when you really need it. I'm pretty certain you get a little for helping them do stuff. I see nothing wrong with that since it's been working for you.

    Oh it's almost March, which will make it one year since I've been a member of this forum...which means since we've met it's been at least one year without a job. I think we had a bet going, but its been so long I don't remember lol.

    I know Pearland Medical Center and MD Anderson are hiring security officers. Yes its not what you want, but it is an interim job and it'll pad your pockets for now.

    I'm sure those benefits would be good. Unless it's through a contract company.

    1/2 inch for lug nuts and such but 3/8 will get most the rest. Just make sure you compressor has enough psi to push the tools you want to use

    Depends on what you want to do with it. Some tools are high PSI, but don't require lots of volume, some tools don't require alot of PSI, but do require lots of volume.
