      You get taxes taken out of your unemployment checks then get a return on them, and it's usually nice since unemployment is like 60% (or whatever) of what your wage was anyways

      Seem legit as fuck to me.... Good thing there are people that make that happen.

      If anyone wants to hate on me because a got a little in tax return then go for it. it doesn't affect me anyways. I got under 2k back and what I got back is what I paid in.

  4. let just all bitch about issues but do nothing to contribute to a solution. maybe we can make a bitch fest out of it.

      Well, moved for family and no one acts like family anymore. They all just want what will benefit them. Goya take care of my wife and kids before worrying about other family members. It's a job working at a car audio shop in Alaska, start pay 12 an hour. I know the owner, real cool guy and has helped me out a few times.

    3. alaskanzx5

      alaskanzx5

      I've sort of been looking for a job in the car audio field fir a little while now. Tired if working dead end jobs, this will give me a chance at a job I can turn into a career. The shop dies everything from car audio to home audio and even sell nice high end furniture to go with the nice during sound setups they can custom setup in your living room. Not to forget the discounts I can get. Push them to but smd product to help petiole in the industry learn the right way to setup amps and eve...

      lol, i know right. if i would have just listened to that gut level feeling that i should stop and get up at the first sing of light to finish the job and i could be done already. have work tonight that i cant make it to with no phone to call with either. lol, its been a great past 3 months trying to get along with family i walked away from when i was 14. cant wait for this to be all done and over with.

  21. hopefully heading out to Michigan by tomorrow night. just got to pull $800 together. long story short my mom told me that me and my.kids can go live in a tent. can't come upbeats the money for tickets to Alaska as fast as I can get the money to go to Michigan.

      alaskanzx5

      That's why it's a maybe going to Alaska. we could get work in Alaska faster through friends but in Michigan they keep telling us we can work temp jobs. having kids we need to keep a more steady income.

  23. 5.52cuft for 2 t2d415. would it be worth it to go through the hassle of cutting some plastic and metal to gain .16cuft (5.68)? not sure if it would be worth cutting the car up?
