Im in Los Angelous California

The owner of the company I work for which is conveyor belts, made and installed sent me to L.A. to get the shop ready for use in 2 months. Im in a bad part of town but thats where the owner rented the property, theres gangs all around and usually 1 person dies a day around here. Im now carrying a gun at work because I work late and will not be a statistic. I have to build 3-20 ft. working tables, 3- offices, set up all the computers and ship in the presses and other tools of the trade and set them up also. I really don't understand why california is so popular, the cost of houses is 5 times as much as in my city KC MO. The cost of living is much higher,food is twice as much as home. I know there are nice places around like the beach and the weather but the smog and traffic is crazy,if you live more than 30 miles from your work you will be in your car 3 hours a day and times that by 5 days a week and its not for me, I like getting to work in 20 min. and be able to drive all over the city anytime without a traffic jam, I guess im spoiled and thats all right with me. Im working my fastest and hardest to get out of here asap, Later

I-max 3-d movies

Im thinking of taking my neice and nefew to see a show at the ultimate experience iv'e been told watching 3-d at the I-max theater, I hope we see a great show because it should be an awsome experience since when I went to the I-max theater I was amazed. The technology is really vamping up the movie experience and im probably the only one who hasn't seen it but this week im going. I would like to hear from some people who have seen this and get there opinion if you would be so gracious, thanks  Craig

Should I ask for help from you all or not

Im worried about Amanda one of our members and she's going through a hard time and this is the first time I havent been able to get ahold of her. Im asking each one of you to see if you can get ahold of her,she's on my space if that helps. I look at our group as kind of a family watching out for each other,maybe im asking to much but I hope not. I know you all will do you best and thats all I ask,thank you for trying  Roboter

Movies,are there any left?

I have decided to post to our group about movies. Do any of you like any movies coming out lately,I personally havent found any I want to go see. I called my neice and nefew ar 16 and 18 and they didn't want to go saying theres nothing good on. Whats going on with Hollywood,there just remaking the same old crap over and over,I want something new. Do me a favor a message me if you know of some good movies on disk or at the movies,ill take all clues to find a great movie,I believe the last great movie I saw was Gladiator so please help,im desperate and I know I can count on my group to help,Thanks  Roboter

Heartbreaks over

It amazes me how much you can get into a woman and let them hurt your heart,hell I know better and I still fall for there cunning devious schemes. I guess us men are just weak when it comes to the flesh,at least I realise I am but I am going to try my hardest and not get into the crap in the first place. And then I think when im shooting pool and I see some sweet girl bending over the table to take a shot and all my brain cells go flying out somewhere to be found later crying in a ditch. Sometimes I say hell with them im not wasting my time and money anymore but then what am I going to do,go walk through a park looking at birds,hell with that. Maybe ill try one of these dating services,no I can practically walk out with any girl in a bar if there not with a dude. What to do next,what kind of crap is going to happen to me this coming month,Maybe religion,no, well ther's always laundry mats,I heard there a great way to meet women,see how screwed up I am, Oh well ill probably be telling you all my next heartbreak but im not going out looking for it,thats for sure.

The pains of dealing with women

Yeah I got hooked on this chick that I liked alot and sent her a couple of really personal letters explaining my intentions,well she came back after reading my personal notes and said she met this guy who is dieing of cancer in 6-12 months and they are soul mates and his girlfriend just showed up but he wants to be with my girl. I knew she probably was seing someone but I knew if that was the case she would have told me,obviousle she didn't. I told her I was just getting ready to spring some great wonderful news for the both of us,in the span of a day she got ahold of me and said its over between them and he is going back to his girlfriend. I wasn't born brain dead and I told her I thought you need to get this settled between her and him and hopefully it will turn out the way you want. This woman I fell for has hardly any money and it really struck my in shock where she thought this relationship with this dieing guy would take her,She didn't know but I was going to try and move her and her 2 kids into my house,maybe I am brain dead but it seems real convenient that all the sudden everything is settled,I don't by iy for a second. What should I do,I really need some feedback from some people who don't know me. everything you say will be looked at with the most common sense. Im going to get ahold of you all in our group one more time because im deep in some crap and need some real feedback,thanks  Craig

Is this Group still going

I know how it is to totally forget about this group, I have done it many times just like we all have. Amanda and I started this group for the simple reason if something needs to be said and heard from people who care what your saying this is the group to tell. No we don't have magical answers that will cure your problems but we might be able to steer you in a direction you never would have thought of and even if you write something and it doesn't help you one bit,there is a good chance you might have helped someone else you never even thought of. Amanda who I met over a year ago is going through some devestating,crippling stuff that personally I don't know if I could handle it. Even with all that she goes through she keeps a full time job,has a very sweet and caring personality and is always there to take the time to help anyone in our group. There is a reason we have 9 people in our group,we all have some need of something. Probably everyone of us has a different problem one than the other. Amanda is the one that will try and help with her spirituality and kindness and things to this day I still don't understand. I am the type who tries to come up with a sensible solution,maybe use quotes from scientists or great leaders from the past or present or just try and talk sense and make it worse but thats what this group is and Me and Amanda have dreamed that our little speck of a gathering could make a small difference in some peoples lives. If any of you all want or feel like writing something and post it please don't hesitate and just do it. There is nothing we won't talk about in here and nothing we won't try and help if requested. Im going again to send out messages to everone in our group to read this post and hopefully if there is something you need some help on you will say HECK WITH THIS and write and post your feeling to our group. Amanda and I don't know if we will be able to help anyone but you can rest assured we will try as hard as we can and the rest can join in and try and fill in where me and Amanda have failed,  I thank you all for reading this post   Craig   Roboter

When all else fails keep trying

I have made so many mistakes its pittiful but I have found out over the years you have to keep going and doing what you believe in or you just stagnate into a zombie. Amanda has a great grasp on life and theres wisdom in her words so send some comments her way so maybe you can give her some ideas that can help us all deal with this hell we call life. We really value any posts or comments you all can muster up,I know you all are not that shy to post something or comment on our posts,it wont kill you but it will inpower you to be more assertive in life in general so get off your butts and let us no what your all thinking,thats what this group is for and without all of you this group is nothing and we might as well close it down and just Amanda and me will converse somewhere else so lets hear from you all please so we can keep this going.

Glad to see the new people

Im very hapy you joined our little group here. If you don't know we are here to discuss anything that is bothering you or making you happy or lets just say the sky's the limit. I have been posting most things,I like to build things and I decided to bring this group along as much as I could as I was making the product. I have to be honest I have really been busy and not put my usual time into this group but seeing the new blood I hope you all will write. We all band together and use our knowledge to try and help if there is a problem so don't be shy,we all have been through alot of what your dealing with and might be able to give you some ideas you havent thought of. I brought this group to be something that can help someone in need or to just be there when you need to get something off your chest. I know its hard for some people to write to strangers about anything but after you do it once its alot easier and were not here to judge,just to give our opinion. Again Welcome and I hope you enjoy our group  Roboter     Craig Haynes

Woke up reading the paper and it seems everyone stole my idea

As you may or may not know I built a electric car out of a old honda. It took approx. three months,not every minute on it but staying busy on it. Now its a big fad to build a electric car,the paper said it costs between 7 thousand to 12 thousand,obviously they don't know anything about mechanics. My car was built from the ground up and I didn't spend a fortune,If you can find a small car in good straight shape you could build one depending on your needs for about 2500 to 4 grand. I have all my schematics and step by step pictures on building the thing.Anybody wants to do a fun project I will help as mush as I can and send you all the information. I don't understand why it upsets me that people are making electric cars,I guess the article kind of gave them the credit for thinking about building one,at least I know I was one of the first and I built one to boot.  Craig
