My husband needs a job in East Texas?
My husband is a former soldier and now works for a civilian contracting company. We will be moving to East Texas next month and he has been unable to find a job- of any kind. This is where our son’s grandparents are so we would like to stay close to home. He wants to get on with the Red River Army Depot but has had no luck. Tyler, TX and Mount Pleasant are options too. Any help? He is a diesel mechanic skilled on generators, wheeled vehicles (light and heavy) and trailers. Jobs searches have provided nothing!!!
There is a large Trane plant in Tyler. I have also known a lot of people to work for Priefert in Mt. Pleasant. There’s also the Campbell’s soup plant in Paris. Of course, I have no idea if any of them are hiring right now.

hello im concerned about my newborn baby’s health +mine+mom my question was longer that page allowed so. part2?
up stairs and I just would like to know what kind of fuel does it run off of. the lady said,” who are you anyways” wow!! couldn’t believe it! after what had just happened to me my girlfriend an most importantly of all my newborn with her lil fresh lungs! I then showed her my wrist band and stated that I was the father of the baby that they had smoked out of one of their rooms upstairs due to testing of the generators, and all I want from you is the what kind of fuel lady! I’m gtting a lil more an more upset as time goes on. but, still not going out of control and holding my composure. she says,” I don’t know” so i said” well, you better find out!” so she called another nurse of some kind to come down and i asked her same question I have been asking since I ran out of the room at 1:35 @ this point it’s around 2:00 am so it’s about 25 min’s after we were smoked out of the room and my girlfriend me and or our baby still have not recieved any type of medical attention that I have been demanding and feel we all need. so, I stopped asking for help/medical attention @ this point because, I knew that I was not going to recieve it for them. so, finally I got the info on what the generators were run on. and it was my worst fear! “DIESEL FUEL” and all I kept saying the whole time after I realized we were subjected to such toxic fumes before i went downstairs is I hope and it better not be DIESEL and sure enough, it was. so, GREAT THE ONE THING I DID NOT WANT TO HEAR!! now I’m kinda in a bit of shock and still in discomfort because I know how deadly diesel fumes are especially a high level of it, and especially for a newborn baby that was in it for over 30 min’s so, I can only imagine what my baby had gone through. @ this point I demand them to write up a report on this, and I went back up to check on my family because I knew they weren’t gonna do it for me. as I seen that whole night:( so I hurried up there and got to that new room they put up in and the heater was about to fall off the was and shock someone the clock didn’t work so, how do you feed a baby every 3 hrs? thank goodness for cell phones:) and the toilet I seen the next morning had blood on the top of the seat and a large bead running down the outside middle of the bowl. I took a photo of that on my phone. I feel so neglected that we did not recieve or get offered any care what so ever after a bad situation like this. it took me going downstairs and putting up a lil fuss just to get my baby’s heat beat checked they did a quick check on that and pretty that’s about it! I believe because me and my girlfriend look so young that is why I cry’s for help went unheard! I felt like an old man in a nursing home that ask for help and they just walk right by. I too care of my me and her took care of my grandma and everytime we went to a hospital we got the lil kid treatment. to the point I had to call my aunts in just to be heard! I feel like this now. I don’t really know what I should do about this I honestly believe I should sue them over this because it’s had been less than 2 days since it happened and still my baby has not been checked no blood work done nothing! please if you have any ideas on what I should do it would be most appreciated:) thank you for your time and sorry for long sad story:( yes
the baby is still alive at home now. but, the damage has already beed done if you know anything about diesel exhaust which I do it is one of the worst things a human can breathe known to man! in under 30 it will cause 1. degrade the immune system 2. induce allergic reactions 3. neurotoxins that cause brain damage and attacks the spinal cord&nerves 4. premature death “more a year that drunk drivers &homicides a year” 5 alter the brain and activity within 30 mins 6. clogs coronary arteries that supplys the muscles of the heart 7.high risk for cancer, bronchitis, allergies, asthma, respritory problems and even lung disease 8. PM10 way too much to list but it is very bad for all humans especially a newborn what would you do in a situation like this? what should I do I need help please? thanks,
hahaha nicee.

Mugabe In Israel – Rate 1 to 10 ?
Robert Mugabe goes on a state visit to Israel. While he is on a tour of Jerusalem he suffers a heart attack and passes away. The undertaker tells the accompanying people, ‘You can have him shipped home for US$500,000/-or you can bury him here, in the Holy Land, for just US$100/-.’ The Zimbabweans go into a corner and discuss for a minute. They come back to the undertaker and tell him they want Mugabe shipped home.
The undertaker is puzzled and asks, ‘Why would you spend $500,000/- to ship him home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $100/-? With the money you save you could buy enough diesel for a year, buy enough medicines to wipe out cholera, buy enough generators to never have blackouts again.’
The Zimbabweans replied, ‘A long time ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead………….
………………………….
We just can’t take that chance!’
Any recommendations for a generator for a house?
Within the past 3 weeks we’ve had sever storms that have caused my home to black out. I live in an area where we still have power lines above ground so I wanted to get a backup generator in case this ever happens again. I live in a house with 2 floors and a basement. It doesn’t have to be top of the line. I just want a generator that can run on gas or diesel. Also i would like one to have a good run time (~12-24 hours) and is able to power my entire house. I would like a suggestion for good value generators but if you have another suggestion I might consider saving up to purchase a more expensive one if the pros really out weight the price.
Also I heard there are some generators you can set up so when your power breaker goes out you can flip a switch so it runs on generator power. I don’t have a clue how to install one but don’t worry I won’t be installing it myself I’ll hire an electrician.
A couple of things:
If you want a generator to run your entire house with enough reserve for starting surges and so forth, you will be looking at a pretty large, pretty expensive unit – probably US$6,000 or more. Add a day-tank and an automatic transfer switch and that goes up even more. Assume a 1,800 rpm diesel unit and yet more-so. Why 1,800 rpm? They last much longer and are much quieter. One of these is linked below.
If you want a back-up unit with a _manual_ transfer switch that will run on gasoline or propane or natural gas and handle some lighting, a refrigerator, freezer, heating system (except electric) and perhaps one or two small room-type AC units, you are at an entirely different level and cost – perhaps under $2,500 total installed. One of these is also linked below.
Don’t forget the concrete slab and wiring to be done.
