    "0.5 degrees north"

    "I don't qualify for subsidized pills.
    I got no sick days, I have to work through it when I'm ill.
    Can't afford my own insurance, and I got no benefits.
    Haven't been to the dentist since I was a kid.
    Uncle Sam ain't looking out for me,
    I'd probably eat better in jail than I do living free.
    I don't qualify for no food stamps.
    I'm a proud, hard working native son of this land!

    And the beggar asks can I spare a dime or three?
    He makes more money than I do, and his is tax free.
    I pay my visa with another credit card.
    I pay my payday loan on payday, and the cycle restarts.
    I don't get ahead, but I'm not too far behind.
    I'm 0.5 degrees north of the poverty line!

    I'm the unsung hero, I'm just an average guy.
    But without us, there'd be nothing for the rich to buy.
    My name is unknown to more folks than its known,
    But that's OK, the paparazzi don't follow me home.
    My clothes have some fraying, slight tears, some other quirks.
    Like a pencil, it's easy to look sharp when you haven't worked.
    I don't always want to go in at all, but I always show up on time.
    I'm 0.5 degrees north of the poverty line!

    I don't write injury reports, if I did, it'd be all I do.
    I got band aids in my wallet, and steel toes in my shoes.
    I find half-healed cuts I never even felt,
    I don't see the company psychologist, I'm beyond his help.
    I'm the middle man between the shelves and the cube vans,
    My collar is as blue as the bruises on my hands.
    I'm not rich, or poor, not doing great but I'm doing fine.
    I'm 0.5 degrees north of the poverty line!

    I'm not always politically correct, but I don't judge.
    My temper gets the better of me but I don't hold a grudge.
    I'm getting by but I'm not going far,
    Don't have a mansion but I got a house, don't have a rolls but I got a car.
    I rob Peter to pay Paul, but at least I pay Paul on time.
    I'm 0.5 degrees north of the poverty line!

    Just had a call from Colo, picked it up as I still have contacts and business down there. The guy said he was returning a phone call that he missed from my number. Bummer, guess it's being spoofed :confused: I have not made a phone call today.

    Same here, except I have family and friends with that area code I don't talk to often so usually pick those up. Except one, they call at the same time from same area code (different #) every morning at the same time, those I "dismiss"

    Think it might be our turn with pink eye Loon . Not a bad case, but kiddo's one eye and both mine are irriated. WWW is going to bring home that OTC pink eye drops if it becomes clear that's what it is.

    AARGH! You guys sure dont need that ww.:whistle: Remember me and the sil kept passing it back and forth?
    The money spent on otc stuff was crazy and the only dope that worked was this and we had to go to the optometrist for a prescription which was a pain in the azz but the stuff worked within 2 days.:salute:
    Hopefully www's stuff helps though.:cheers:

    Last night I cleaned the 025 up real well and removed the muffler. Screen was very clear and the piston was great. Stuck the new 18" b & c on and spent a little time cutting limbs on the downed hemlock today. It ran great and cut very well.

    Our neighbor had his tractor out and we loaded limbs in the bucket to go to his brush pile. Tomorrow I will get the rest of the limbs cut and piled. My son will take the tow de-thatcher set high and clean the small pieces up so we don't have to rake much.

    My dad plans to stop by and cut some limbs up for firewood in the morning. I'll buck the rest of the trunk up and my son can haul it to the splitting pile. I may need to build a rack 8, but that could go behind the barn somewhere using t posts and hemlock runners for now.

    I don't answer numbers I don't know...but I have had a local number call me in the past that I decided to call back, when I did they said "we didn't call anybody!"
    Somehow the scammers can "hide" behind a local number...caller ID not to be trusted I guess...

    It's possible for the person making the call to spoof the caller ID to that of the person being called. So it looks like you are getting a call from your own phone. Caller ID is a fairly old tech and wasn't/isn't very secure.
