Ive gotten 2 estimates already. One is to tent my 3 bedroom, slab foundat?ion and the other to use Orange Oil and Termidor. One company found both types of termites and the other just drywood. This is in the Los Angeles area again, 3 bedroom 1700 sq ft slab foundation. The estimate for fumigation is $1680 and the Orange Oil and Termidor treatment is $2270 unless i get it done in the next week then it would come out to $1900. Do these sound like descent estimates and which way should i go between the processes. Thanks and i need some honest answers! Open Question: Los Angeles or New York?Why? :) @That Girl Over There. I actually live in Florida, dearie. Open Question: Separate the two Los Angeles?do you think they should make a huge wall separating the two los angeles:Beverly hills, Hollywood, Bel air,Burbank, the other part of los angeles:Compton, Inglewood, South Central.do you think they should do this? Open Question: How do I head off this disaster?I took a new guy shooting. I am a teacher. Right now California is $20 Billion in debt, and half the California budget is Education. So they are firing teachers left and right. In Los Angeles, school rooms are linked and you have a "room partner." My new room partner is a very young guy (I am in my 30's, he is 25) who is a long term sub. He never had a Dad, he was raised by a Mom only, and she hated guns. He always wanted a gun, but the closest he ever came was violent video games. I am just the opposite. My Dad had me when he was a very, very old man. The joke was his seed was "worn out," by the time he had me, and that's why I am gay and very small, when my Dad was huge. He had me so late in life, my brother could be my father. My Dad was VERY old school, and would hit you HARD if you didn't obey him INSTANTLY. I was brought up to not mess around with guns. First a .22 rifle for many years, then occasionally a .22 pistol, and then a .410 shotgun. I didn't fire centerfire rifles or pistols until I was much, much older. My Dad wouldn't let me TOUCH his precious .45 until I was 16. Well, I may have goofed up. I let this guy shoot my .22 Pump action rifle, and my .22 Colt Woodman Target model. But then I had to show off and let him shoot my big guns. To my shock, he has remarkable hand to eye coordination (something I have never had) and had a natural ability with a shotguns. I had a plastic clay pidgeon thrower. I lashed it to a old broom handle with duct tape and was throwing the clay pidgeon far in the air. Boom. He hit them. First time with a shotgun. And it wasn't a 12 guage throwing a pound of lead. He was hitting them with my Dad's Fox BSE double barrel 20 guage. I would throw ten and then we would rest. He could hit 6 or 7 out of ten, and this was the first time he ever touched a gun. He loved my .30-30. We shot stacks of wet newspaper wrapped with duct tape, and a few 20 pound blocks of clay (I cleaned up EVERY SCRAP of trash). But what he REALLY loved was my gun I bought cheap off a guy who lost his job. For almost nothing, I bought this Spanish Star Super B (It's hard to tell WHAT this gun is---it has conflicting stamping on it, the original Spanish Stamping says one thing, the Importer, Century Arms says another) in .38 Super. This kid LOVES recoil. He REALLY got off on firing the .38 Super rapid fire (me 20 yards behind crouched behind the car to avoid sudden death). He wants to buy a .38 Super now. Well, I didn't want to tell him that .38 Super is an oddball gun that I only bought because I am cheap. He probably REALLY wants a .45. Secondly, I think his first gun should be a Ruger 10/22 rifle, or at the most a Ruger Mk III .22 pistol with the longest barrel they make. But he is really set in his mind and wants his first gun to be a big old .38 Super. I think the only thing that will stop him, is that as a substitute teacher, he is making almost no money (all the fired teachers are substituting, and they aren't working that many days a week. Before this long term job, this guy hadn't had much work.). In fact, on the ride back, we even discussed his moving into my house, as means of him saving money, and me getting money (I am cheap.) But I am concerned about him buying such a high powered gun with so little experience, and I am wondering how to discourage him. Open Question: What is your opinion about Mexico bus company ignores the laws & continues to operate their bus now there is a?What is your opinion about this Mexico bus company who ignores the laws & continues to operate their bus now there is a fatal crash and Six passengers died and 16 were injured and if they followed the law would this of ever happened ? And will this be a problem if Mexican trucks are allowed to drive further into America then what the can now ?Federal officials say the U.S.-Mexican bus company involved in fatal pre-dawn crash on Interstate 10 in Arizona was operating illegally across state lines and was uninsured. Six passengers died and 16 were injured about 5:30 a.m. PT when a Los Angeles-bound bus owned by Tierra Santa Tours Inc. rear-ended a pickup truck, swerved into the median and then crossed back across the westbound lanes before rolling, the Arizona Republic reports. The bus originated in Zacatecas, Mexico, and had stopped in El Paso, Texas, before crashing south of Phoenix. The company is based in Los Angeles and Durango, Mexico. In December the Department of Transportation rejected the company's application to operate in the United States. The company's $5 million insurance policies were canceled in July and November, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2010/03/feds-say-bus-in-deadly-ariz-crash-operating-illegally/1 More Recent Articles
