Why use them legally? thats the joy of living in the country, sure I'm 35minutes from the closest store but I can play with all my toys.

That's only if the people give you lots of big tips though. Around here you couldn't get very much, people are poor.

Bikes: Nishiki Nut! International, Pro, Olympic 12, Sport mixte, and others too numerous to mention.

It's also extremely hard work...

When you start paying taxes, the IRS will assume that you are hiding some of your income when you're in a job like that (because you get minimum wage, but with cash tips).

That $120 a day turns into a lot less when taxes are taken out.

^ True but around here you could probably make that 120+ a day depending on where you work because we have some very nice and expensive restraunts around here.

The area in which the restaurant is situated in is not quite poor, to say the least. I don't have the interview today, but I'm sure I will soon. My mom's friend works there so she is going to hook me up.

Put some of your money in the bank so you don't spend it all on worthless crap.

There's no way. If i work at a bike shop, i'll be getting all these new parts i don't need, but are nice. And if i work at the pet shop, i'll be getting another beta fish, and getting him a pretty kick ass tank. Hahaha.

My mom makes me put most of the money I make in the bank. I get $35 a game from umping, and $25 of it goes in the bank. I know the same thing is going to happen if I get this job.

NeW ShOeZ!!!!!111!!!




I blew the tyre in the middle riding some trails yesterday, to much pressure in the tire caused a stick to go through it rather then allow the tire to conform around it. Oh well, it needed new tyres anyways, these didn't hook up and they're from 1983. thats $200 gone and I still need a brake job and a front tyre.

Are they any good? Do they wear down quick on concrete?

I lived out in the country and didn't get them on concrete... but we had asphalt roads and that didn't seem to wear them down at all.
