Loss of spelling ability and grammatical sense is one of the first symptoms.

Its catch 22

I want to leave the forum because I am going mad, but only a sane person
can make that sort of judgment, so you can't be mad, so why do you want
to leave the forum, because I am sane, hang on i thought you said you were going
mad.

It seems to be the catch of the day! At least it's fresher than the fish in the welcome tent. :biggrin:

WHAT? I started my first business when I was ten - mowing yards. Can't you do this sort of thing?

nobody in our neighborhood would hire a kid to do their yardwork, they'd hire a proffesional.


EDIT- and hardly anyone in our neighborhood has lawns, mostly desert landscaping

And you can't legally get any kind of job?

That's really too bad.
 
  • #17
the labor laws say 14. I don't think I'm going to get a job soon. I'm going to put more time into school and education

I had my first job at 12. I became Chief IT Consultant of my dad's company. :smile: Quite a good job actually, it turned into more of a graphic design position once I'd trained the staff how to use the computer!
