Memorable Automobiles from The Past:
For today:
We have
been looking for someone to pour a concrete slab for the coach. I have been very disappointed in men who
said, “I will come out and look at the job.”
2 or 3 did not show up; trust falls thru the cracks.
I understand
about construction jobs, having been involved in them for many years. The
unexpected happens, equipment breaks. A water line can erupt and REQUIRE
attention and take priority. Many things
can happen, but common courtesy, and for ‘trust in your company’, notification
is called for.
Many people do not trust our major
news networks. I don’t watch the news, I do read it. I have NOT seen any
flagrant ‘false news’ that I can put my finger on. Boy have I heard some saying that it is ALL
false? YES! I DO NOT (MPO) believe that
all major news is reported wrong. I
would like to see more writing that REPORTS news without a slant or opinion.
I do
not expect to be loved nor liked by everyone. BUT when my name is mentioned, I
hope most folks who know me can say, “You can trust him!”
My attorney
once said, “I search the homes you sell and NONE have construction loans or
outstanding debts; how do you build without owing on the land, materials and
labor?”
“I borrow from friends.”
“Where is
the paperwork?”
“There
is no paperwork, WE shake hands. I make a note and put it in the safe in case I
should die before I pay them, Sherry will know who to pay. I make loans to them
when necessary.”
“Folks
trust a handshake for $50,000? You can’t do that!”
“You
can when you are trusted.” (I didn’t tell them I paid 10% interest, it wasn’t
any of his business. LOL )
At the time
Construction loans ran 12%.
He explained I needed a paper trail, etc ………

a Christian School:
7. MOSES LED THE JEWS TO THE RED SEA WHERE THEY MADE UNLEAVENED BREAD, WHICH IS BREAD WITHOUT
ANY INGREDIENTS.

In order to trust someone, I would say it depends on their actions. I agree, people need to walk the talk. Anyone can say something, but we don't always trust them. Hope you can find someone that lives up to their words soon. It gets very frustrating when they don't show up.
Still no luck finding a contractor? People!
I've not watched the network (ie mainstream media) in more than a year. Instead, we get our news from One America Network. That way I'm not corkscrewing myself into the ceiling.
Lol with Myra's comment. I lost trust in our politicians and our news media. Both are going to have to work hard to gain my trust back. Wow, amazing you can't find anyone to do your concrete slab project. That is so frustrating.

It's sad when trades people do not keep their promises to attend when they say so. Same here too. Happened to us last week.
God bless.
