indeed sure,my sons writing is at 5th grade,but he is in advanced autobody and is going to do co-op course for it next semester
10:08 am

seriously, I'm blessed with pretty darn good kids. They're smart, they tend to stay out of trouble and they are usually sweet and loving. If they just didn't have hormones...

10:09 am
crosshair
one thing to think of people..these children will be the one to decide what home we go in lol
10:09 am

That's okay, Crossy. There will always be a demand for skilled tradesmen/women.
10:09 am
lbdawger
nothing wrong with the trades! plumbing and hvac are really good trades
10:09 am
uusue2
still don't know what mine is going to do, if he's going to get through college he has to learn better time management, and how to function when bored

you map out the building blocks of the universe and he is stumped then you go home and bake cookies
10:15 am
lbdawger

8:31 pm
MollyL
It's a belt Welki. That's what mine did before it gave up the ghost.
8:32 pm
welki
i wish it was the belt, mol. we took it apart and it's metal against metal .. the dryer barrel is rubbing against the frame. but similar enough - it's only a matter of time
8:33 pm
welki
it's served us well - i have no idea how long dryers are supposed to last, but this one is almost 13 years old
8:33 pm
