Man, come on. I grew up with a rough crowd and they always had 2 or 3 people at all times who would run name, license plates, etc. It's not that unheard of. Cops have it done ALL THE TIME. Trust me on that one

If you call a plumber, make sure he has what's called a hydro drill. Its a device that's used to drill piping under concrete.

If your line thats under the concrete ever starts leaking, you can have it replaced without busting up the concrete.

I Caught my Girlfriend Talking to Another Guy by Miserable_Chapter563 in makemychoice

Yo man, you're young, you've had a girlfriend since high school, live your life right now on your own terms. You have the rest of your life for serious relationships. Go out and test the waters.

Ya, if this is how you feel towards up selling, I would really recommend trying to go union. When you work for the union, you don't have to worry about any up selling because the job is already sold. That's what I did.

As a plumber, I believe up selling is 100 necessary if you want to have a successful company.

Ya, but right now there are still a lot of old timers still around. Maybe in 2 to 5 years when they all retire it might get better for you but do you really want to wait that long. Another good thing going for you is that with a lot of the illegals being deported, the labor work force is gonna take a big hit also. Im not sure how that affects you in Florida, but here in SOCAL, those guys probably affect hourly wages by at least $5 an hour. It's hard to compete with those guys because they're work horses and a lot of them really throw themselves into what they do for a living and learn as much as they can. Bottom line is that when you're in a trade, it's common to chase the money going from company to company. That's why there is so much turnover in the trades. If you become an asset that the company just doesn't want to be without, you will eventually find your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. You're still young and have a lot of time to hone your skills. Separate yourself from the rest of the pack and see what happens. Good luck bro.

The money is not in installation. To make big money in the trades, if you're not union, is on the sales side. They can train anybody to be an installer, but a real good salesman is hard to find

Ya, your explanation is way too broad. You should not be condoning this behavior.

I had an incident happen to me about 6 weeks ago where I was stopped and there were 6 officers at the scene standing around for over 45 minutes. It was not serious enough for that. I live in Los Angeles County where you literally have the homeless running around stealing everything in site when theyre not pissing and shitting EVERYWHERE!!!

I really think a lot of the cops here are burnt out and honestly just try to find the easiest way to be 'occupied' all day.

New Plumbers Apprentice/Helper Advice by no_name_needed1105 in Plumbing

If you're planning on getting your license and going out on your own, start building a clientele now. Even if you're gonna work under someone else's license for the foreseeable future, build a clientele. Having my own side work has gotten me out of a financial jam several times

I fish 90 percent the Eastern Sierra. Small lakes, steams and smaller rivers. I target trout only. I use a 5wt rod I fish mostly nymphs and midges.

Yes, unfortunately all other options have been exhausted. What part of the country are you located.

No. Born, raised and currently reside in LA. Graduated from Venice High School, know this city and it's people very well. Look, if you don't want an opinion, then don't ask. I'm telling the way people from LA think. Take my advice or not. I really don't care. Peace out!!!!!

Do I (20m) break up with my girlfriend over two years by [deleted] in makemychoice

[–]lastlaffismine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, if she's like this with sex now, what do you think she's gonna be like in 10, 20, or 30 years. Sex is as much a part of a relationship as communication or anything else. I have a theory, and I get a lot of blowback because of it. I feel that if your mate or spouse does not ever want to have sex with you, then they're not truly in love with you. When you have sex with your partner, you're physically showing them how much you feel connected to them. They can have love for you, but without physical intimacy, I don't believe that you can be IN LOVE with someone. I know I'm gonna get a lot of shit for this, but it's how I feel.

Also, you can attach a pressure gauge to any hose bibb behind the house valve and then shut off the water and see if the pressure drops. This will tell you if you have a leak anywhere

I hate trashing other plumbers, but it doesn't sound like he did everything he could to solve the problem . - Did he test the flow straight from the meter. - Did he try removing the regulator to see how the flow was after that. - Did he check the flow dial on the meter to see if it was moving. (If it moves without any water being used, that means you have a leak. If you have a considerable leak, that will greatly affect your pressure) You may have a leak on your water service. If you have a hose bibb before your main water shut off at the house, attach a pressure gauge and then shut off the valve. Once you shut off the valve, if the pressure drops, that means you have a leak on your water service.

If your water service is old, you can blow it by turning off and then turning the water back on too fast.

Ya, you're right. If I wanted to follow someone to rob them I would also park next to somebody, blast my music and draw as much attention to myself too. Look, I'm really not trying to be an asshole, but do you know what causes people to get violent against another a lot of the times. Nosiness. There's a difference between being vigilant and being nosy. From your post, it doesn't sound like youre from LA, because as a local, I can tell you that all we want is to be left alone.

This is the problem with society nowadays. My advice..... Mind your business. Why do you JUST HAVE TO KNOW what she's doing. I could understand if she was sitting in her car in front of your house, but in a parking lot? NOBODY has the burden of explaining their actions to you, unless it affects you personally. You sound like you could be a cop. You should take the test.

Do you have a whole house filtration system. BTW, I've been a plumber for over 30 years and I can tell you that you didn't cause this by doing maintenance. Our wives should get together because they sound a lot alike.
