The College Experience

[CCTAU]

I feel ya dog. 
Suffering was trying to scrape together that $1.39 at the end of the quarter for a gallon of Beast from Mom's Party Shop. 

Eagles West V-4 alum here!
Too expensive so we moved to Auburn Place Condominiums. You know where the bowling alley is? Cross the road and RR tracks and that dump is right there. Glad to have that 2/1 for $275/mth!

On an Auburn note, I met Snagette at the start of my senior year.  The first time I went over to her apartment, Chateau, I took her a chocolate shake from the original, hole-in-the-wall Saniflush.  I was one smooth playa.

You are bringing back some wild ass memories.

I remember the first time I went over to her apartment.

It was like a different year and a gay guy lived there, right?

Why do you insist on trying to one up WT?

That's funny cause I gave her the chocolate Saniflush as well.

Yep all to get their foot in the door maybe.  It's an abomination anymore really.  Nothing that they learn in college remotes to anything in the job world, that you don't learn on the job, and this includes doctors.

I'm sending my son to trade school, by the time hes old enough to go Plumbers will make $600 an hour because there won't be any of them left.

My Dad was a plumber, and taught me how to plumb.  I worked with him for several years before going active duty.  I have now taken over his business, (only doing it part time until I retire) and I feel bad sometimes for charging the going rate per hour.  I make out the bill and think to myself that I am overcharging these people, yet I'm one of the cheaper rates in Cullman.

One of the things I find funny is that when I tell someone I'm a plumber and they act like I'm below them.  Idiots can look at me that way all they want, and I'll keep cashing those checks they hand me.  Oh yeah, it's already proving difficult to find good help.  Most of the young adults think they should be making what I'm making when they are nothing more than an apprentice.

I never knew that you’re just a plumber.

How hard can it be?
Hot on the left.
Cold on the right.
Shit don't flow uphill!


But you are correct. People today cannot even figure out how to use the little wrench to free the garbage disposal.

People actually pay me to come change out their shower heads.  $100 service call that takes all of 10 minutes.

Shrubberies are my trade.  I am a shrubber.  I arrange, design, and sell shrubberies.

If you do not tell us where we can buy a shrubbery, my friend and I will say--we will say--"ni".

Are you saying “ni” to that old woman?

I am amazed at how poor you people on here are.

[Snaggletiger]

Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say Ni at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land.

Of course, I sound like my dad complaining about walking 5 miles to school every day, barefoot, in the snow, up hill...both ways.

The first place I lived in Auburn on East Glenn was so bad it was bulldozed the year after we moved out.  From there, I lived in University Apartments on Donahue (Still there), Gentilly Trailer park and finished up in a spacious 1 bedroom duplex out by the Krogerz.  This past football season, we went by our niece's apartment for a visit. Sweet Haysus on a stick.  3-bedroom. 2 bath.  Full kitchen.  Back door opens out into the courtyard where the pool and several fire pits are.  There's a workout room too.

Yep, it's a different world, but you never heard us complaining.  We thought we had it all.  And we pretty much did.   

East glenn was where it was.
