Just curious?

[tcooper1]

how many off us have prison in thier past..? that seems to be a reaccuring thing among us all.

Been in jail for driving while suspended(1 week) but never prison.

 

[slowmo77]

[BlipBlip!!]

Finished highschool, graduated from college in marketing and now work in the financial industry! Glad I listened to all those teachers who said smoking weed was going to get me nowhere...

 

[tcooper1]

Well I graduated High school in 2005 with an Honors diploma...Planned on taking a year or two off before college, and yet i'm still sitting around partying, now i'm thinking about Military, coast guard specifically...maybe air force...I've never had any experiences with police or courts, once in school for truency...but other than a speeding ticket i've slipped by(knock on wood)...I actually was really thinking about studying botany after graduating and still would like too, but the lack of resources for me just don't help things...

My son tried to get into the C.G. and cuz he smoked pot(in the past .. wink ..wink) he couldnt get in.They do hair follicle and can tell how many times you have done anything.That is what the recurtor told us when we went in to see him.......so he is going into the Navy The most you can way in the Navy at 5'10 is 185#'s also you have to maintain that wieght at all times.I know a person that got kicked out of the navy after 12 yrs in for getting to fat....25#'s more then his limit
good luck and stay safe

What I love, is that, with our different lives, with our pasts and our futures, with those priveledged, and those unfortunate, varying as we are, one thing unites us.

Our love for one little plant, and our love for standing up for what we believe in.

And thats something that we will NEVER be able to teach in a classroom.

Never truer words spoken......

Sorry to hear, but you must have a huge amount of character. You're right many of the posters stories are tough to say the least, I feel totally spoiled, didn't know my pops well but I had 3 more parents, mom, gpop and gmom, and it was great for me, I had much love and attention, hence my naivete. There is always a bright side I truly believe this. I feel for you tcooper I'm sure you are a fighter and a survivor and that is half the battle. Negative things can build character and wisdom if you let it, I'm still learning this BTW, and let me tell you there are many people on here I admire for that many...and then there are just plain old characters LOL.

hahaha
I got more character then Carters got pills....(old time saying):giggle: jk...but i am a joker..I play around alot....mmmm that doesnt sound good..hahaha

I agree Snuggles Negative thinking brings Negative things in a persons life.I refuss to give up.I will not go down with out a fight.....I just refuse...:hubba:
Have a great day and stay safe and thank you for your kind words

 

[That crazy vancouver guy]

graduated high school with honors, had accident 2 months after graduating, spent 7 years trying to get back into life (burns and head injury), went back to school and got: diploma in Computer Information Systems, certificate in Computer Electronics Specialist, took first year Engineering at university and decided to stick with electrical (was doing since was 16), so took first year electrical at technical college, but didn't pursue further cuz of family (also realized was wasting my time - spent more time outside smoking pot during class than was in it....)...and am now retired... and only work if I want some extra cash (mostly private contract work)....

 

[nOob grower]

Graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Network Communications Management, I am also Universally Certified in HVAC/R and during all that I got my PHD in Cocaine and Alcohol, but gave those 2 up for a better life. Got 2 DUI's and got caught with blow on the first one but they let that one go, because it was an empty bag

That's me too, it's so ridiculous but you know everyone always told me clean cut gets you further and they were right. Oh well I can cut the hair and shave but I can't get rid of all my ink LOL. Hey Mo when you get arrested and they take pictures of your tats isn't fun, everytime I get "do you have anymore", uh yeah I'm covered wanna see them all LOL.

 

[slowmo77]

ya its one of the few times i get to show off all my work. its like pull up a chair and i'll show you all of them. after a while they just stop writing what they are. when i go to court or something were i need to look nice i'll shave and dress up but i have a look that don't wash off.

this thread is a tearjerker

 

[Bella420]

graduated high school in 94 then got halfway thru AA for social work and had to drop out for health reasons and I really regret it. Every year I say I'm going back and every year I put it off another year... I guess in my mind I figure the state won't want a social worker who goes home and gets high arrgghh

 

[Roken]

Graduated 5 months earlie, went to college for 2 years for aviation maintanance, dropped out 1 class before my degree because of 9/11.

how many off us have prison in thier past..? that seems to be a reaccuring thing among us all.

Never went to Prison but I do have 5 under the influance and Never Rob anybody, Broke into anybody house, Didn't steal for it, But rode my Bike all over the county and picked up cans for my habits and had fun and meet alot of helping people..
5 DUI always got busted a block from the house and haven't had anymore since 1990.. Had to do 18 month of DUI classes to get my lic back and 1,350 for a piece of plastic with a pix, DoB, lic #,
1 poss. of high grade hash and got drug deversion.

A total of 6 yr locked up over a period of 10 yrs living on the streets and I call it a Learnning experiance..

The best experiance is living it..!!!!


I can say that we do come from all walks of life as I have read all ur post and I see that this a place is to tell ur side of the story and I Bet we all have some kind of Story's to tell !!!
But what amases me is that we go to school to Gradeuate high school and then go to collage to get some type of degree or all types of degrees and I have seen some these days that have those degree and there Not working in that field that they went to school for, but instead there working at walmart or working at the gas stations, then there some flipping hambugers, So why is that ? Life isn't always what a person think it going to be in life because a Blink of the Eye can change it forever.....

Well let's see, at 16 it was suggested by my guidance counselar that I should drop out. She said, "You oughta just give up, your never here anyway." Although I recieved staight A's in my mechanical drafting and biology/horticultural science classes, I HATED everything else. Phys ed was a joke. I skipped an entire semester and was marked absent for two weeks total! They didn't even know I was missing!! The counsiler wouldn't let me take Astronomy because, and I'm quoting, "You're not smart enough." Because the math dept sucked. I hated it. I didn't go. I said screw it. They won't let me take the courses I want, so, BUH BYE. I signed the paper, walked home and told my ma I'm done with high school.
I decided several years later to get my G.E.D. I didnt know anything about the test, so I decided to just take it, and probably fail, maybe find out where my weaknesses were and what to study to pass next time. I passed. High 80's and 90's though out the course.
I've mostly worked outside since I was 12 or 13 on working on my uncles farm during a few summers, then into landscaping for the next few decades, some odd jobs here and there, now I'm in an organic grocery store that's not toooo bad a place. No prison unless you count 3 days in juvinile lock-up for something I did as a young lad.

School isnt for everyone. I went to trade school before college, and the only reason i went back to college was because my parents told me they would pay off my trade school tuition, which they did. But now im 70 grand in debt for a degree that I skated through getting (Mom always told me C's get Degree's, and it's true). But even with this piece of paper they gave me for my $70,000 I have been employed in the filed for 5 months, then got laid off due to their poor decision making of spending too much money they didnt have. I have now been unemployed for 3 months and 3 weeks, everyone wants experience, how you gonna get experience if no one will hire you Soon this world will have a bunch of retired people and no one to fill positions because no one could find a job to get experience (just my opinion)
