Yeah... at the end of the week I'm going to be heading out with a group of churchies and doing some rebuilding down in mississippi. So yeah... wish me luck.

Are you doing this to knock down some community service hours from your record or is it just you being charitable? Either way I commend your willingness to help others.

*GASP*

 

Calax is pulling an Eru!

 

Also: What Kor said, but don't forget to ask the them for a reward. That way you'll look like heroes to the locals while lining your pockets with coin AKA RPG rule #1 . But whatever you do, don't execute RPG #2 (shamelessly looting their homes whilst they're oblivious to stop you). That, umm...doesn't always pan out the way to think it should.

Not to derail your fine thread Calax but I wish Eru/COF was here now. He could give you all sorts of advice . He knows about those RPG rules man. He knows!!!

Take it easy dude.

What exactly are you going to be rebuilding? Do you know yet?

Stuff that broke.

Plenty of that down there.

 

Theres a certain kind of irony in it.

Tip: try not to brow-beat the poor religious folk about the mindlessness of religious faith whilst doing good works. It looks churlish and one doesnot want to impede good works. (Also religious girls are gullible, but not when you insult their religion. Let them do it first.)

 

Which church is it?

A lot of people went off the idea of god controlling the weather after the Tsunami. Some do though , and in those cases It is kinda funny.

It is the trumpet call of the Omega: God of Ages has signalled the return of heaven to creation.

Um... Bye.

Rpg #1b, don't let the Paladin do the talking when the task is accomplished...

Beware dysentery and fundamentalist christians.

 

Also if someone invites you to a party on the "down low" don't go.

Hooray! My sister is thinking of doing one of those 'Alternate Spring Breaks' too.

its for the local methodist place that I used to do sound for...

 

I'm just doing it to help out (it's better than McD's) and it's somthing to do while waiting for the Electricians union to get back to me.

Good luck, and take care of yourself while down there.

Never a truer word spoken.

 

Have a great time, and make sure you talk to the local people and find out what they think of the project you're working on.

Not like we talked that much or anything, but still, take care and good luck. And in the meantime, I'll play enough Empire at War for the both of us.

man this place is boring. All I do is work from about 8 to 330 come back take a shower, eat, then sack out for the evening...

Yes I found a computer to use while I'm here just to do email on (technically)

 

right now we are working on a house that had been in about 18 ft of water. We're doing drywall. Mudding and some taping, which will be done by the time we are supposed to get back home. I've run out of books while I was here and had to hit walmart to pick some up. it was the only store that even had books within an hrs drive of where we are.

 

Reminds me of boy scout camp all told

We're doing drywall. Mudding and some taping....

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

My specialty, Id rather do it for fun then bills, but the bills have got to be paid.

A lot of handy-men are going down to New Orleans and making a killing. A lot of work down there...

yup... I think I heard you could get about 15-20 bucks an hour doing drywall in the area.

Economics 101: Supply and Demand.

and all the unions were getting mad because mexicans were coming up and taking all the jobs
