I'm open for some opinions from you guys

---One would have to be very familiar with pricing in different parts of the country. I am on the west coast and from what I have read here we are bidding much higher than the midwest. We could bid much lower and still make money and bids have come down this year because of the famine for work. But I could see an insurance company wanting us to work for $1.50/sq where we are used to bidding $2.50/sq. That is a big drop. Lanny>>>

Not thet it matters, but I've spokem to Caik on the phone once or twice nad seems somewhat less than kooky.

It I had money to burn, I'd probbaly invest in dinars because little is needed to possibly/potentially make a lot. And money to burn, means i wouldn't miss what I lose if that happens. I think it's a scam myself, but NOT Ciak's. He's going with it to see what happens. :laugh:>>>

I just noticed the e-mail Ciak.

It will involve a detailed response and substantial documentation to be added. Rather than air that information publicly, I will do a short response now, but must address many more items in fuller detail.

I decided to start that Ethics topic now. I should have figured that was going to happen, while the iron was hot.

Ed>>>

Cool, Ed good idea. I sent you an email . Take your time with it .>>>

I think a Topic on Ethics would make an interesting discussion.

Let me start one up later today, when I get done with getting a roof shoveled off, so we can finally do some work and I promise that the subject matter will bring out some insightful dialog.

Ed>>>

More of the same jet ? Why am I not surprised. I have a CCC and it is public info . Look it up. It is kooky to you for someone to insist on ethics , morality? The Dinar, I never said it was something for everyone ( honesty )I did warn and made evident it was and is risky .( Morality ) I offered to buy back the dinar from some ( responsibility ) Offered exit strategies ( ethics ) If that is kooky to you then you may want to take the suggestion about the basic ethics morality courses . I don't get the idea your a bad person just confused.>>>

"Define who you are?".......man, it's gettin' too deep for me here. I thought that scam you were running on trying to get people to "invest" in Iraq currency was kinda dicey but now I'm convinced you're a kook. BTW, just for shitz and giggles, what is your FL state contractor's license number?

There are no drugs that can make you immune to stress or pain jet. Or for that matter by themselves magically solve your life problems or promote healing . jet pointing the finger at me will not solve your problem only maybe, give you a snicker or a feeling of I told that so and so or whatever the charge is for you. It takes a conscious effort on your part to move in a direction of healing and inner peace. Ethics and morality are great conscious directions in the healing process. Perhaps you might want to pursue these issue. I would suggest a course in basic ethics. A sincere look at the inner self is a good place to start. I refuse to let you define who I am .>>>

Are you on any medication(s)?

Well Jet Not mentioning the Ethics issue and avoiding any dialogue constructive points in my estimation " Nothing personal JMO. " to an attitude that is not so up front. " i dunno " usually when the fingers start pointing from the blind eye of anger , disgust etc : it is because of a cover up or uncertainty. Easier to accuse and blame than to enter into honest clear dialogue . I know Ethics , morality are supreme in the insurance business. Some mistakes are made when dealing with humans whether they are roofing contractors or insurance companies. As stated before I only wish the roofing trades had and adhered to the same ethics , morality that the insurance industry does. I'm not speaking to those individuals who practice them but to the industry as a whole.It is so obvious I'm embarrased to have to mention it . jet Nothing personal JMO. ;) ;) While we are at it try some of this,........... > > Irish Luck - > > His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish > farmer.

The only thing "prevalent" in the insurance industry is the best way to avoid paying claims. Just look at what the insurance industry did to the people affected by Katrina for a good example. I'm sorry but you'll never convince me that ANYTHING has changed in the insurance business. They didn't take this lucrative business (protection racket) over from the mob for no good reason........did they? I'm glad you came to your senses........

You did not mention the location for Friday, just 2 expressways that you would be heading in on.

I would have to ask my wife how to send a text. I know her duplicate phone does it all the time, but I never got into that type of messaging.

I'll send you the cell number and you will know what to do.

Ed>>>

I love good burgers etc I'm for sure going that direction the end of this week. My itinerary still stands until the goods are delivered. If your speaking of the higgins road location It will be middle morning Sat. If were speaking about Fri. I sent you a location. I have an email to the boss ( Vickie } looking for feet on the ground confirmation about the other stuff and will hopefully be apprised of that situating. Either way I will keep you informed of where I'm at. If I could text you it would be a whole lot easier for me. My cell excepts txt's>>>

Just got off the phone with you Chuck and if your schedule still points you in this direction, I would be very happy to meet with you.

The intersection you mentioned, just happens to have one of the best Burger Restaurants in the Chicago Area, so if you like a good meal, and can get away from the Mission Control Magic Bus, I'll meet with you and treat you to lunch or dinner about one block away at The Assembly Restaurant.

Thanks guys It has been determined that this program though appealing won't work after several conversations . For the obvious reasons laid out by some posters . To do evil intent, quite the contrary . There was no way to separate the powers that be no matter how ethical or moral. Ethics and morality rule in this business. I only wish it was as prevalent in the roofing trades, as it is in the insurance business . That may have something to with regulation and lawyers looking for the bucks also. The little guys in roofing are not as lucrative targets.i dunno JMO>>>
