Oh No He Didn't.... ya need a lighter roberte?? :blob2:

Paul Sr. OMG... I think I would use 4 ropes and 4 horses tied off at hands and feet...throw firecrackers in the mix :msp_thumbup: :popcorn:

Got plenty of lighters, but no. I'll assume for a minute, that husk was being coomplementary .
Paul Sr wishes he could drop a humbolt as smooth as me.
As for the sloping backcut, I'm guessing he's got that covered.

Do you suppose Dr husk rolls with a team like house....

Whiteboard, sharpie, hemostat....
 
clint, i'm not insured either, I know they stuff goin on but my health seems secondary? we think we are iron but we not. i'm sorry to hear what happened buddy. ya know we gonna pay a fine this year right?
 
What do ya mean a fine? Are ya talking Obumble Care? Or getting my meds from other countries?

obamacare, as I understand it we gonna pay a fine at tax time cuz no proof of insurance. do they really think we ain't got it by choice? last I checked it was gonna be close to 1500 a month. who can afford that? may as well jus pay the fine.
 
Insurance companies are telling me to wait because we aren't going to have a choice come next year. I went to see about some coverage and was Pro rated to $200 a month, no lung coverage, and the plan wouldn't come into affect for 12 months. It's like really? They nailed me fro a wreck I had racing where I was flash knocked out for a bit and had to get a cat scan. They called it a brain injury...I was only out for like 10 seconds...obviously I never told them about the time I wrecked and was out for 2 1/2 minutes or the time a dumb ass'd security guard "flap jacked" me in the temple area! LOL! :D He did a good job of it, I was wooosy for the rest of the night! LUULZ!
 
I lied and said I was a timber consultant. That way if I do get smashed and have a saw in my hand I can just say I was consulting the tree. :rolleyes2:

Yeh, no, $200 ain't bad...however it doesn't cover the only thing besides tick fever and broken arm that I have ever needed their services for. So it's like wtf am I paying for? The only meds I ever get aren't covered.
 
it's just another racket man. tick fever? I can't believe I never had any tick desieses. I have had thousands on me over the years, funny thing is if one gets on me now its almost always dead when I find it. too much limes for um to handle? ya got deer ticks there right?
 
There is time coming, IMHO, that employers will offer employees,
Here is the full wage/salary but health is on you

Or

A stipend and health coverage

But you don't get both.
 
Yeh I got tick fever when I turned 30. I was cutting cedar full time and building fence on my property. I have always had bad headaches so I let this one go for a straight week til I couldn't take it due to my brain was swelling out my brain stem... went to the ER and after having a spinal tap, I was given a room and pretty nurses for a full week! LOL! I was sick sick...family was around then and people were coming to give their reguards...Hell I wasn't dead!... :msp_scared:

Lol! That was the last time I ever saw my Mother...9 years ago, don't even know what State she is in or if she is alive! :rock:



Yeh, we have every typ of tick known to the Modern World. Deer, bear, speck back... gotta love the babies, and they have just hatched! Yeah!

dam!
 
slayer- here is how I fit in...
The crew I cut for is a "falsetto mech crew", meaning they hire a "shadow soldier" to cut and pay him under the table 100%. They have a non functioning de-limber and a Hydro Ax parked at each site. Then insurance coverage is down to a minimal being as there are no chainsaw hands on site. See...I'm invisible
 
Eh I don't shear sheep lol or anything else with em lol......that the welsh and aussies lol.


I'll stick with the long locks ......keeps my neck warm as far as shaving hmmmmmm well use a straight razor.


Healthcare oh hop topic lol........we got health Ins stateside. Here contrary to all belief it not free lol .....We pay NI which if ya employed or unemployed comes off at source if ya self employed then ya pay it monthly ya self (it also goes towards other things too lol) works out not much diff than US health Insurance
