What Decision Would You Make In This Situation?
Posted by admin in Texas Electricity on June 12th, 2009
What decision would you make in this situation?
I get $643/month, my rent is 1/2 my income, I pay $60 in electricity & $100 in food. $20 for laundry, $30 for a prepaid phone cardwith 300 minutes, & about $15 for cab service, lugging those groceries. I’m mentally disabled & go to college-I have my BA-Spanish degree, but I have a weak GPA, so I’m taking extra courses to try to get into grad school. I don’t like Spanish Lit, but that’s all they offer. I want to translate & interpret. I’m desperate for work, but no one wants to hire me because they say I appear mentally slow b/c of my movements & mannerisms. They think I’m retarded & don’t know any better. They also won’t hire me because of my weight. I have other necessssities that I can’t have because of lack of money. If you were in my situation, would you quit your current school & try to go to T&S school out of state, quit school PERIOD & try to find work, or stick to a Grad major of a field you’re not interested in & stay poor? I don’t know what’s the best decision. What else?

***T&S means TRANSLATION & INTERPRETING school. Should I pursue a Certificate in California @ Cal State-Los Angeles, Expensive Grad program @ Monterey Institute-$40,000/yr. tuition in California where I can get a MASTER’s in my DESIRED career field, OR stay here @ University of North Texas in Denton, kind of rural town with not much job opportunity & extremely limited transportation, majoring in something I don’t have interest in, which is why my GPA is so low in the first place?
I Dug A Hole Through A Utility Line And Don’t Know What I Hit?
Posted by admin in Texas Electricity on June 11th, 2009
My neighbor and I were digging holes with a tractor for a fence and we were diggin 2 feet down when we sheared a small copper line (probably 3 mm in diameter) and came close to a large line that was well coated with some hard yellow plastic substance. We almost ruptured the larger line but didn’t. The smaller line was sheared but we can’t figure out what its for. The electricity, gas, water and cable all work fine in both of our houses. Does anyone have a an idea of what these may be for? This was halfway between our houses and we live in the country in texas.

What Should I Do? To Sue Reception Hall That Does Not Want To Refund My Money Due Hurricane Ike?
Posted by admin in Texas Electricity on June 9th, 2009
Ok. well my wedding was scheduled to be on September 20, 2008 . I live in houston Texas and where hit by IKE a week before I pretty much knew my wedding was off but by Wednesday i got hold of the church and was told everything was going back to normal so i was told to either get married as planned or I would have to wait till next year after June or so and well the hall told me they were expecting the electricity on any day now because the businesses where the priority and urged to go ahead with it. He pretty much guaranteed it over and over again and well i decided to go through with it. he also said worst case scenario would be Generators, but made it seem very unlikely. Then on friday at 4:00 pm i got a call saying there was still no power but the wedding was still on they said I would have very minimal lighting and no air conditioning. My husband asked for ac units but were told by the planner that corporate was just laughing and they would do no such thing. We then asked for our money back but were told that the only way we would is if we would take them to court . we spent over 8,000 to have this wedding for it to turn out bad and not get our moneys worth. How do I go about this?
My Landlord Is Screwing Me On My Electric Bill, What Can I Do?
Posted by admin in Texas Electricity on June 9th, 2009
I live in a travel trailer (which I own) in Texas. My landlord controls the electric bill, and will not disclose what electric company they are using, and during rent time just hands me a number they say I’ve used in electricity. I’ve checked around and they’re charging me at least 10 cents higher a kilowatt than the most expensive company that services my area. I know they’re screwing me, what legal rights do I have? Can I legally demand to see my readings or take over the bill myself?
What Would Happen If 20 Million Illegal Aliens Left The Usa? Do You Agree?
Posted by admin in Texas Electricity on June 7th, 2009
In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupted hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominate language again.
* In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and grand-kids—would move back “home,” mostly to Mexico. That would save Coloradans an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 BIL) annually in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs. It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone.
* Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals.
* Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67 percent drop out/flunk out rate via thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado. Denver’s four percent unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.
{snip}
* In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.
If 20 million illegal aliens returned “home”—
{snip}
No more push ‘1’ for Spanish or ‘2’ for English. No more confusion in American schools that now must content with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches.
We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country. In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the “18th Street Gang” would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters!
Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal aliens!
Drain on America’s economy; taxpayers harmed, employers get rich
{snip}
At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupted out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act. Americans wouldn’t suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country—brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders.
{snip}
Over one million of Mexico’s poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from Brownsville, Texas to San Diego, California in what the New York Times called, “colonias” or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, electricity, roads or any kind of sanitation. The New York Times reported them to be America’s new “Third World” inside our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20 million residents of those colonias. (I’ve seen them personally in Texas and Arizona; it’s sickening beyond anything you can imagine.) By enforcing our laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico.
High integrity, ethical invitation
We invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own countries and/or make a better life in Mexico. We invite a million people into our country legally more than all other countries combined annually. We cannot and must not allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing lawlessness at every level in our nation.

What About This One Or Should I Quite Now As Getting Tired ?
Posted by admin in Texas Electricity on June 4th, 2009
A man is working on the buses in the US collecting tickets.
He rings the bell for the driver to set off when there’s a woman half getting on the bus. The driver sets off, the woman falls from the bus and is killed. At the trial the man is sent down for murder and seeing as it’s Texas he’s sent to the electric chair. On the day of his execution he’s sat in the chair and the executioner grants him a final wish.
“Well” says the man, “is that your packed lunch over there?” “Yes” answers the executioner. “Can I have that green banana?”
The executioner gives the man his green banana and waits till he’s eaten it. When the man’s finished, the executioner flips the switch sending hundreds of thousands of volts through the man. When the smoke clears the man is still alive. The executioner can’t believe it.
“Can I go?” the man asks. “I suppose so” says the executioner, “that’s never happened before.”
The man leaves and eventually gets a job back on the buses selling tickets. Again he rings the bell for the driver to go when people are still getting on. A man falls under the wheels and is killed. The bloke is sent down for murder again and sent to the electric chair. The executioner is determined to do it right this time so rigs the chair up to the electric supply for the whole of Texas.
The bloke is again sat in the chair. “What is your final wish?” asks the executioner. “Can I have that green banana in your packed lunch ?” says the condemned man. The executioner sighs and reluctantly gives up his banana. The bloke eats the banana all up and the executioner flips the switch. Millions of volts course through the chair blacking out Texas. When the smoke clears the man is still sat there smiling in the
chair. The executioner can’t believe it and lets the man go.
Well, would you believe, the bloke gets his job back on the buses. Once again he rings the bell whilst passengers are still getting on, this
time killing three of them. He is sent to the electric chair again. The executioner rigs up all United States electricity supply to The chair, determined to get his man this time. The man sits down in the chair smiling.
“What’s your final wish ?” asks the executioner. “Well” says the man, “Can I have that green banana out of your packed lunch.?” The executioner hands over his banana and the man eats it all, skin included. The executioner pulls the handle and a brazillion volts go through the chair. When the smoke rises the man is still sat there alive without even a burn mark.
“I give up” says the executioner, “I don’t understand how you
can still be alive after all that?”. He stroked his chin. “It’s something to do with that green banana isn’t it” he asked.
Nahh” said the bloke,
“I’m just a really bad conductor”
