It's seasonal.  Folks tend to spend more time outside, away from their computer, during the summer.  Anyone who talks on CB/HAM radio has always noticed the same pattern.

Conf Call:

How about this Friday gents? Time? If not no worries  [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co

Kobalt: Broken ankle? Kicked the TV after Barry told the American people that things were just fine or missed that last step on the stairs leading out of the bar?  :))

DeathStyle: Did you get laid off or just looking for something to replace your current situation? [url=http://www.freesmileys.or

DeathStyle: Did you get laid off or just looking for something to replace your current situation?

I was working a a theme park seasonally. Got my guard card to do security during that and got a $10/hr full time job. The recruiter at the security company was holding the job for me while I gave 2 weeks notice. I told the recruiter I didnt just want to walk away from my current job because bad job history is my achilles heel. He agreed and encourage me. I gave 2 weeks notice and contacted the security company to start my new job and they told me that recruiter I was asking for left and they didnt know what job I was talking about.

So now Im in a bind and I got a little work doing concert security but that company is a pain in the ass to get work from. Its crazy. Im honestly looking for work and busting my ass even digging trenches with tweakers for a couple of extra bucks (even that is hard to find) all because my work history looks odd. All I can get is seasonal, on-call, or temporary jobs and leave them for part time full time work and get screwed over.

Everybody is telling me to do the Sheriff's academy because they pay a minimum $4,700 a month for the 18/19 weeks. I said I dont want to be a deputy but people tell me to go anyways and just dont become a deputy afterwards.

Been real busy with part time and odd jobs, found out this morning im going to be the gun counter guy at the cabela's that is opening up here. I start in a month, wish it was sooner. :))


I got two guns up for sale now in the "for sale" section, first time i've sold anything on the forum before.
I'll be posting the same two guns on armslist and gunbroker in about a week, for significantly more money than im asking  for them here of course  [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co.

(speaking to the OP of the thread)

what I find strange is that every time I sign on (at least once a day, sometimes more) I see a HUGE number of people online (according to the bottom-left of the forum screen) yet no posts.

why the large number of people yet no posts?

I understand that, but surely SOMEONE has heard some interesting news? of course, news stories aren't the primary focus of a prepping forum, but staying on top of the news can certainly better your chances of getting out alive if something should go down.

anyway, I just thought it was strange that I see more people online at any given time than ever before yet the forum participation is slower than ever before. kinda sad really. there's a reason I keep coming back to this site. it's because there's no other site that I've found that (for the most part) let's me be ME and doesn't jump up my ass for being a potty-mouth. doesn't jump up my ass for certain topics I may bring up (sure, the membership may flame me for some things, but that's to be expected, I'm talking about disciplinary action from the administration itself)... if this site goes down, where the hell are we going to find anything even close to it? nowhere. lots of us tend to complain about the "lack of useful content"... I see where they're coming from but I don't agree. there's only so many times you can discuss which gun is best.. etc. what we have is a humble little community and it's a bit confusing that more people don't see that and become interested. ( kinda just rambling here.)

I hear ya NOLA but there is 1,000 ways to skin a cat, hang a tarp or build a shed and while they are not all right they are all different.
 
We could be posting things to the DIY section when we do them so that section will keep up with the 'bad new' section and hopefully our people will be receiving a grade A education from reading that section.

I'm not picking on anyone I am just doing my usual "where are all the DIY post" vent. We now return to your regularly scheduled programing.

Unfourtunatly i have not yet. One reason is the cost of the fishing license and the next is im working a lot on technique and improving on all sides so theres really no time left to hunt or gather.

oh yeah.. and fighting fish attracts sharks and this just happened EXACTLY where i just took my dive class. literally same damn spot one week after. not that its a huge deal but its not helping me shell out $50 for a license lol...

http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/state&id=8723381 (http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/state&id=8723381)

We can thank the animal activists for the more and more regular appearances of these large sharks. they protect the hell out of the seals in the area so now its a damn buffet for GW and other large sharks. the DFG HAS to open a season up on the seals to save the ecosystem... they eat everything in sight..
