No doubt.

Not as credible a reason as it might be if you weren't on here whining
about it.

VERY part time, apparently.

Only when there's some *** like you who needs to be gotten out.

:around here is difficult.

With an unemployment rate of only 3.3% for the state that doesn't seem
quite credible.

:Actually, I'm doing better than a lot of people in this town at the

If many of them are making them, who's left to sell them to?

Bismark has an unemployment rate of 1.2%

Other than that, there's $81 you could save, then. That also seems
pretty steep for someone with your income. You're spending a good 10%
of your income on a phone you don't use, cable TV, and internet
access. You could dump the TV and get phone and internet access for
MUCH less money.

:good, and don't like being impoverished.

You're whining. You're also apparently not bothering to do much of
anything about your situation, so it's hard to believe you want to do
the work to "have it that good".

:But I'm sure they deserve it, aren't you?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Given the low unemployment rate where
you are and the fact that you're only bothering to work a relative
handful of hours a month, I guess you get out of it what you put into
it.

:>:Life is good.
:>
:>Apparently. You have time to sit around here and whine on the
:>computer.
:
:You're big on this whining thing, aren't you?

No, YOU are "big on this whining thing". I just notice you doing it.

:I know, from now on, I'll just eat cake!

Given the low unemployment rates for North Dakota and your apparent
lack of effort or desire to better your situation, that seems
appropriate.
