Posts from brick in thread „What We Take For Granted“

Yes Chester I understand, My great granfather on both sides were masons and on up the chain. Many buildings in England and Ireland were built by some Joneses hands. I love it, it's hard work but it has it's rewards, I guess now my proffession is in jepoardy as some will say by illegals whom claim they are doing work no one wants to do. I don't see how they figure, I love it and I'm damn good at it. It's not presitgous it won't make you rich it will however make you tired and worn out but the best is at the end of each day you can stand back and look at the beauty you just created with your hands. Merry Christmas

Hello all, I lost electricity for 6 days it came on yesterday thank God. My house is total electric. I had to send my wife in to stay with Parents but I stayed here to watch my house from thieves and to take care of four animals whom depend on me a blind cat and a 3 legged cat, my dog is tough and the other cat he's tough as hell. Sitting around in the dark cold. a man can think as the rest of the world is worrying about gifts and such. I realized it can always be worse and to count my many blessings the Lord has bestowed on me. I have semi good health, I can see , I can hear. I know the man upstairs is watching over me and and his son died for me and his birthday will be here soon. Sometimes it takes a tragedy to bring folks together in this busy time of ours. Sometimes we don't know ourselves very well until the lights go out, but thats when we reach down inside. I knew I could survive, my wife was worried about this old disabled fool but I layed brick for 30 years and I have fought some men. I knew my father had lived like I was living every day, I knew this country of pioneers didn't know what electric meant, this was the norm to them. I knew I would be ok but I also know how grateful I am about electricity.
