  1. It sounds like you need to get your head together, stop feeling sorry for yourself and get on your bike. It is all to easy to slip into a depression and the only person to drag you out of it is yourself. Stop relying on "friends" to take you to jobs, or helping you out, get yourself to the jobsite and work.

    Any work is better than no work, knock on your neighbours doors, put some leaflets through letter boxes, get a paper round and get paid for doing your own leaflet drop. Volunteer to help with anything, show your worth.

     

    I am not sorry for sounding harsh, if you lived in any other country, or in another time, you would starve do death! Get you head together and prove it to yourself that your worth it.

  2. You remind me of me, when I was your age or a bit younger I got my first saw a 44 husky, I spent weeks stripping it fiddling and fetleing it, It was a solid old school saw and good to learn the ins and outs on. I went away to Ag. college to study forestry when i was 16 and learnt that I didn't know as much as i thought i did, regarding safety saw use and maintenance. If you do one thing, get yourself on a proper CS30 etc. course and learn how to be safe with them. I and a lot of others on here will have plenty of horror stories to tell from our carreers. Before you think me an old fart, I am 30. I respect totally what you are doing, if only more people were so inclined, but I know what its like to be 16 with a chainsaw too. If you need any advice ask.

  3. slow cooking chilli con carni. Our Rayburn runs all the time so we try to get as much grub from it as possible!

    Brown the meat (cheap cuts of beef) in the pot, add some water, salt & pepper, chilli powder and paprika, I add a cup of lentils to thichen it up. Cook on a low heat for a day or 2, fork the meat to let it melt appart, add a tin of tomatoes, and a tin of kidney beans. cook for another half day Minimum, Eat with rice, or potato wedges. Never will you want chilli made from mince again!

  4. Maybe i was a bit harsh, but if i owned him i would be keeping gestures like that away from my professional image, or maybe its the vast amount of wine i have consumed!

    Give the "sign" all you like son, plenty of people do while "using" the net, careful you don't go blind.
