I have a friend with top notch internet software development skills who was laid off between Thanksgiving and Christmas. He’s one of those guys who has never been without work for more than a week since college. I think his job hunt will start in earnest next week.

If you remind me in about 2 weeks I’ll ask him how the job market really is at this moment in time.

It appears to me that Mercedes’ strategy the last decade or so has been to come up with a plethora of designs and cycle them rapidly to keep one step ahead of the Japanese luxury brands who come right on their heels, copy their designs and slap their badges on.

Mercedes haven’t focused so much on quality as freshness. And it has worked – I can’t drive a block without seeing a Mercedes…something I don’t think I could say 20 years ago.

[quote=killwind] I live in the Bressi Ranch community and I have a mentally disabled family member living with me and I also have 2 mentally disabled cousins that I grew up with, that being said…[/quote]

Well then, I guess you couldn’t possibly discriminate against the disabled with a lineage like that…please continue…

[quote=killwind]…I still dont want that house in my community. [/quote]

Whoops, my mistake.

[quote=killwind] Why would Carlsbad spend 800k on just one house when they could have easily provided money to other very worthy causes that need the funding. [/quote]

Uh, maybe because these people need a place to LIVE in a safe and secure environment?

[quote=killwind] Why arent they still living with thier families are they violent or do they have criminal records. [/quote]

Yes, the mentally challenged are required to live with their family the rest of their life, everybody knows that. Unless of course they are a criminal in which case they move to Bressi.

[quote=killwind] How can Terry house (if and when they move in)insure the safety of the children in the neighborhood? [/quote]

How can you insure the safety of your children if the TERI house (please note the spelling for future reference) does not locate in Bressi?

[quote=killwind] Why did the Realtor reject 2 offers that were better than what Terry House offered? [/quote]

Obviously, the owner of the house wanted to take less money just so’s they could piss off their Bressi neighbors.

[quote=killwind] And why did 4 of the 5 houses in escrow fall out of escrow once it was disclosed that there was a group home going in?[/quote]

I dunno. There certainly is no problem getting financing in this day and age. That couldn’t be the reason.

I’ve had my Dell Inspiron 1525 for about 6 months now and still love it. Swweeet little machine…nice wide screen, fast starting, just wonderful.

My only complaint is Vista…I hate that damn OS. Why oh why did they think they had to change where everything was? I spend half my friggin time trying to figure out where things are now. So frustrating. Microsoft better watch their back or other companies are going to eat their lunch.
