re: Is Methanex a good company to work for?

Yeah. that would keep me from moving if I had 5-10 years at a plant.
I have to stay at mine. Been here for 20 years.I still have a small retirement with mine, but nothing close to the ones 10= years ago. Those days are gone.

They are paying well and stealing veteran operators from the surrounding plants. However, they only have one product, so that's always been a concern with plants.It's nice to make and market a lot of products for job security.
My neighbors on both sides cut theirs like astroturf and water all the time. The length of the grass blade ~ equals the root.
Now to really piss them off, I've seeded rye grass so mine will be green all winter. "Pantera" doesn't grow crazy like regular rye grass.

If you cut it at the right height, you shouldn't have to water it at all.
I told her the square footage was under the agreed amount, and she said "so that's how you're going to break the agreement?" Yup. I'd like to say that I told her off, but honestly I was too scared she'd come after me with a lawyer. I was much younger then and didn't have a lot of real world experience. She's retired now. Mean old bitch.
If you sign with a buyer agent for this one deal and doesn't work out then you find something 4 months down the road on your own, they will probably want their cut.
That's what mine tried to do. We signed the agreement for 3 months thinking we were doing a good thing. She was real interested the first 2 weeks and showed us a bunch of crappy houses and then showed us one of her houses that happened to be on the market. We balked at all her attempts bc we were not going to settle on mediocre. She quit calling and didn't show us anything else after that.
I found a house by owner and bought it. Luckily it was under the square footage the bitch and I had originally agreed upon, bc she read in the newspaper that I had closed on a house and she called me up looking for her cut.
Home buying is a nasty business, probably right above used car sales IMO.

I think some of my early batches were terrible bc I didn't cool the batch quickly enough, and the aroma hops wound up bittering. Will check out the Food board. Thanks for the links.

I've ordered from both of these places and have been happy with their service and products. Each kit makes 5 gallons of beer, or 52-54 longnecks.
Start with light ales until you get the hang of it. They have good directions in the kit. Start saving longnecks with the pop off, not screw off.
Only do lagers if you can cold ferment. That requires a dedicated refrig with a thermostat control.

I brewed for 10 years or so. I think I've made just about everything possible. Mine were 5 gallon batches.Never seen people make a good beer with the small kits, but they may have improved. If this doesn't turn out well, don't give up. They have a lot of guys on the food board brewing.

It's most admirable that you want to help, but you can't just show up to scenes like this and be able to help. The guard will turn you away unless you have some strong credentials. Why don't you consider donating blood tomorrow? They are going to need it.
I have relatives in the area. I feel what you do, too. Get some sleep.

re: Ford....
Posted by bander on 1/29/11 at 2:12 pm to NELAtigers
this is quoted from Motley Fool, and Ford is on their core stock list. I don't think I would buy, but rather hold right now if you had some.
" Ford's total number of global models has actually shrunk considerably since Mulally's(CEO) arrival, and it'll shrink more in the next few years. It is true that Ford's quality has improved considerably on Mulally's watch, along with other trivial things such as the balance sheet, the stock price, customers' perceptions, and the company's chances of, y'know, actually surviving.
On one hand, yes, market-share gains and big profits are going to be harder for Ford to win in coming quarters, as costs rise and rivals continue to get back on their feet. Shareholders expecting the stock price's upward trajectory to continue are likely to be disappointed.
On the other hand, even with Friday's surprises, Ford is still a solidly profitable and much-admired company with strong prospects around the world. Speaking as a Ford shareholder, with the company's situation solid and still improving, I don't plan on selling my shares just yet."

I agree. I've been thinking about that since I saw it. He could have been flagged big time.

not boring at all. I enjoyed every minute. I kept thinking about Pouncy's bold statement about "revenge". That guy is a joke. He had a terrible game all around.

These made me laugh. I forgot how bad the mullet craze was. Want to see Alexi's fro next, please. I think Balboa still had his mullet when he played with Alexi.
Never did like Meola. I thought he was a crybaby. Keller was better.
