My future brother in law bought a snowmobile.

[HEyHEY]

My sister's fiance just bought a snowmobile. I know I went on a rant about them yesterday. But this is a good thing. He has had a really rough life, single mother raised, being beaten by her boyfriends, a dad who never gave a shit about him. Nothing was easy. But his friends always had money for things like dirt-bikes and nice stereos...etc. He must have really felt left out. Well a couple years ago he decided to go after his carpenter's ticket...we were all glad he was going to get a trade. Then he was diagnosed with MS, and had to stop. After a few months he never had another attack and the Doctors said it could have just been a single attack, so he went back to school....

All this stuff held him up... but today he went out and spent the money he'd been saving on a snowmobile. Good show, I'm glad he finally got something he really wanted instead of needed, it's about time. No one has earned the right more. He's so excited, like a ten year old, the gleam in his eye is nice to see.

That's my good rant.

1. Is this a different sister from the one with the loser boyfriends?

Come on, I need a better description of your sisters for my files :-)
Pictures would be nice ;-)

[HEyHEY]

2. haha

I can't post pics without their permission. But I have two, the younger one is the one with loser boyfriends. There's a new one here right now. :eyes:


But the eldest sister has been seeing this (MY future brother in law) guy for ten years, and they are finally getting married in six weeks. He's a good guy and we all like him.

3. Thats nice they are getting married

Say heyhey, I think JVS wants a girlfriend lol, well so do I, and :hi: how was your xmas, and how things making out with that copgirl :).

[HEyHEY]

6. Have not seen the copgirl in a while because I am in another place for xma

s.... Xmas, was good, until last night. Big family blowout. We didn't solve anything but got to say some things to make each other think about things... My famuily isn't crazy nuts but like all we have out issues. They came out last night... anyway other than that it was good.

4. good story. thanks for sharing..

is a carpenter's ticket like our contractor's license?

[HEyHEY]

7. I assume

You get it after all your schooling and apprentiship and such.

[frylock]

8. is it a requirement to work as a carpenter?

or is it like IT certification, where it shows employers/prospective employers you are qualified to work in that field?

[HEyHEY]

9. I believe

That you need it only to work on other's houses. I know to be an electrician here you need to have a ticket. But for this I think only to work commercially.

[frylock]

10. i find your culture quite fascinating...

jus kiddin! That's what a contractor's license is as well. Can't have some fool that doesn't know what the hell they're doing wiring up your house!!

[HEyHEY]

11. haha

13. Jeez, I never thought I'd feel good about someone getting one of those

Snowmobilers are a real hazard were I live. But here I go feeling good about it. I hope he enjoys it and rides safely. :thumbsup:
