too many abbreviations PFD ? IM?
Cars suck when they don't work and I hate working on them.
Your mate Paul , does he work at North Slope on the oil stuff,
who does he work for. I'm with BP in the North Sea.

Sorry about the jargon. I dont write journal entries with readers in mind, I just talk to myself.

IM= Emissions inspection. Every 2 years you have to pay a tax on owning your car, if you want to drive it on the streets legally. If you live in the city and have an old car, you have to pass a pollution inspection before they let you pay your tax and drive legally. It's about $200.

PFD= Permanent Fund Dividend. The profits from Alaska's $24 billion in oil money investments are distributed equally among the 600,000 residents each year. This year, it's $1.100. I receive it today.

Yeah, Paul works for BP as a cook at their main camp on the North Slope. I have worked for oil service companies like Halliburton and Schlumberger, doing both construction of their facilities and operating their equipment up on the North Slope, but never for the oil companies themselves..

i checked on someone's hydrocodone prescription sheet regarding the hearing problems~ that guy must have been popping them like candy, as it is one of the least common effects and usually reverts back to normal after discontinuing use.

sure man .. i, all by myself * totally* made up all that stuff about the CIA releasing mind control documents via the freedom of information act~ all 18 thousand pages on projects since the 50's. (not)

read it, it is actually quite interesting.

unless, of course, you don't believe in government documents. in that case i would have no idea where you get your information.

i see you're into belucci... have you seen milena or irreversible? the second is out of control and graphic. i don't want to see it again though it was not a bad movie.

tell me about alaska....

i've never been to democraticunderground

because you have a problem linking it all up in your own head, does not mean it isn't the case.
the site you are talking about is probably one of hundreds talking about the same things~ because they are talking about facts.

hey, thanks for contributing an educated, and balanced opinion on the 'recall' thread. supporters of the whole 'stolen' election ideology are like freakin fanatics, like it was born of an x-files episode or something.

They are very angry folks, those Democrats. So bitter.

o god. it must be stopped. get the scissors and do it yourself. something must be done, stat!!!

Mullet is history.

maybe he's "sensitive"

He's the poster child for sensitivity. I'm going to call the board of the National Council on Masculinity and demand his membership is revoked.

Hey there, I have a quick Alaskan politics question for you (sparked by the legalization discussion). There was an IRV measure on the ballot there last year. Can you tell me about the public perception of that measure?

I hope you don't mean the French, Foreign, type of Legion.

Hope you did your research, bro. I have a couple of buddies that went that route, and... well... it's not my style to talk anyone out of anything so screw it. Have fun, and learn the language if we're on the same page. It will save you tons of bruises.

I wouldn't have considered it if I wasn't in deep serious shit. And no offense bro, but you're in the Air Force. While getting beaten up and pushed hard might seem too harsh, I wouldn't want gender-normed training.
