The big anti-hijack thread.....
Talk about anything, but if this works than we don't have to keep looking around all the threads to see who is still on tonight, and every night, or even every day! Talk about the chiefs, talk about tomorrow, talk about football, politics or even how to do flooring and the applicable budget. What you're drinking, how hard it is to sleep, etc. Every thing is acceptable in this thread.....

I have no idea what that consists of, but detasseling was the worst job I ever had. You'd be standing in a bucket on a machine out in the hot sun bending over pulling tassels out of corn as fast as you motherfucking can (which usually wasn't fast enough) ALL DAY LONG. And supposedly it was easier with the machines, I didn't stick around long enough to find out what it was like without them.

It'd be great if I get it, because I can walk there.
Ten? Wow. All related to a drug problem, I assume?

Housing is hanging to tobacco plants in a barn to dry. They cut them, and put 8 or 10 on a big wooden stake, and pass them up into the top of the barn, to be hung to dry. It's like a billion degrees up there. (or it seemed like it.)
I've heard stripping is even worse (not that kind), but I never did that.
BTW, if you've never seen a tobacco worm, you're missing out on one of God's nastiest creatures. I saw a dude bite the head off one once...

Yeah, I'm only twenty. It was something stupid I did when I was young. I just gotta get the ball rolling, and hopefully tomorrow morning could be the start.

20? :-) Hell, your life's barely begun... Keep your head straight, and you'll be 100% fine
