Are these guys any good?

[Stormin Mormon]

I'm not racist. I think minorities are great. Everyone should own a couple.

I'll bet the people who were living in America when the Vikings and all who followed them came here, wish that they had had better border controls in place. I'm no believer in either the Noble Savage or natives-as-peaceful-tree-huggers myths, but all in all, the visitors from the other hemisphere gave them a rough 600 years or so. Thus, I giggle every time I pass an Indian Casino. At last they are getting some revenge.

Of course you do.

[Sanity]

As the bigot you are, you are in the minority now and I have a lot of dirty work for you.

[Stormin Mormon]

Who owns you?

[Stormin Mormon]

I'll bring my bulldozer.

[krw]

I do, of course.

[krw]

You need one, given the amount of bullshit you spread around here.

However, most of their skills are manual ones; if you need anything even

So how come so many of the gardeners in California are Mexicans?

[mm]

Only because when I didn't have them, the roof kept falling down.

What time is this? I keep planning to check the places near me, but I think I always wake up too late, and then I check my email, etc.

I don't need anyone now, but I'd like to see how many are there.

Someone interviewed on the news last week said, "They're not here to invade your home. They're here to remodel your home."

But teasing aside, I see your point. My mother would probably not hire anyone off the street, no matter how many good stories she heard. And there were no illegal immigrants in my town then. I'm male and I'm an idiot part of the time anyhow, so I'm no standard to go by.

You're work is outside work. I don't know how you can tell them you can't use the bathroom, but you could do that. My mother always gave anyone who worked for her lunch (at least for a job over a half day), and the use of the bathroom. And there probably is no more crime now than there was then, but people feel there is. And I've noticed, of the few people who do work for me, or for utility companies at my house, most refuse food, refuse drink, and never ask to use the toilet, even the ones who are inside already.

It would take a lot of nerve to take pictures of them and email them some place, but you could do that. That way after you're killed, they'd have something to go on.

[Stormin Mormon]

I'm glad that you are owned by someone.

[dadiOH]

They make gardens from concrete in California?

[Bob F]

point!

Good stories, bad stories. I have only had good experiences, personally. Better for jobsites than personal residences, as they may be "casing" personal residences for a return trip.
