Damn, Roger, pull the bug out of your ass. Everyone has to start somewhere. He's asking for ideas, not a dissertation on how stupid the younger generation is today. Suggesting he save his tuition money and skip college AFTER he's already graduated is pretty stupid. And you're the one complaining about how know-it-alls?

Roger you have a PM, save your breath he won't listen to anyone without a degree.

Whats wrong with you (I always held you with a high regard.. but thats flying out the window fast) and Steve? I started the thread with a purpose of maximizing my chance of finding a job. I didn't ask for your snide belittling comments based solely on the fact that I went to college.

I AM POST COLLEGE WITH A TECHNICAL AND IN DEMAND DEGREE, NOT IN DEBT, AND NOT A KNOW IT ALL. Does it take a college education to be able to comprehend that? Just wow. Anyone with a degree who comes to your shop for work clearly chose the wrong thing to study and has zero tact.

Steve- Who am I not listening to? Neither of you have given ANY usable advice. What the **** do I have to listen to from you, you filled this thread with your assumptions of my character without knowing me at all. Maybe stop being so shallow and understand that I'm human just like you, I've worked hard to get where I am- just because I haven't worked with my hands my entire life (I actually have for most of my youth) doesn't mean I'm worth any less than you.

and just how long has that life of work been, 10 years, 20 years, 30 years?
I dare say both Roger and I have worked just a few more years than you have, I think, but you could prove us wrong and say just how many years you have WORKED.

but all we did was tell you that the economy sucks, were we wrong?

That a degree does not guaranty instant success in your field, no matter what it is. we all work, we all worked very hard, Roger has owned his own business for years if not decades. just what have you done?

Go to school, big fkn whoop, I went to school, Roger went to school, he served our country, did you?

now if you did that I would give you some respect, but so far all you have said is you worked, nothing about what you did.

I am so tired of the I got a degree I disserve some respect, respect is earned and it ain't earned in school, get out into the world and then you will earn my respect, not that you care or I care about getting respect from some kid who has done nothing yet.

tell me just what you have done to disserve respect from anyone who has worked 30 or 40 years?

I mentioned respect because I have treated both of you properly on this forum, I don't **** all over your threads or disrespect you with your posts. I appreciate you having the same regard for me

You would think that with age comes maturity and wisdom. Both of you possess neither. Now stop polluting this thread with your garbage please.

I just get sick of hearing everyone say you have to have a college degree. You dont. Just telling you to take what you can get for the present. Just because you got your piece of paper dont guarantee you anything. College is now as big a joke as high school. Theyre full of people that cant even spell 4 letter words. Most now go to college just to get out of their parents house and attend as many parties as they can. The only thing thats appreciated in college is sports. OSU is a perfect example. If your going to stick to looking for something good paying in your field, be ready to move out of state or even country for it. I know some with degrees that are car salesmen. I also know some that didnt graduate high school and are also car salesmen. I cant think of a single person I know who has a degree....and is working in that field....except for nurses, and a few lawyers. My cousin graduated high school and worked for the government at a construction depot here in columbus. He now owns a multi million dollar company. You know all those 'games' found all over the place in like KMarts, Walmarts, etc....He owns the company that rents them to the stores all over the country. His company also almost bought Redbox, but he changed his mind on the deal. It took him 20 years, but hes on easy street now. He used his money to invest instead of paying college tuition.

I agree with you but this thread has nothing to do with that, would you like some help with your reading comprehension? Especially Steve barely having a command of the English language.

here is just some light reading for you about me.
Recovering after stroke
Email this page to a friendShare on facebookShare on twitterBookmark & SharePrinter-friendly version

A stroke happens when blood flow to any part of the brain stops.

Each person has a different recovery time and need for long-term care. Problems with moving, thinking, and talking often improve in the first weeks or months after a stroke. Some people will keep improving months or years after a stroke.

Information

WHERE TO LIVE AFTER A STROKE

Most patients will need stroke rehabilitation (rehab) to help them recover after they leave the hospital. Stroke rehab will help you regain the ability to care for yourself.

Most types of therapy can be done where you live, including in the home.
•People who are not able to care for themselves at home after a stroke may have therapy in a special part of a hospital or in a nursing or rehabilitation center.
•Those who are able to go back home might go to a special clinic or have someone come to their home.

Whether you can go back home after a stroke depends on:
•Whether you can take care of yourself
•How much help there will be at home
•Whether the home is a safe place (for example, stairs in the home might not be safe for a stroke patient who has trouble walking)

You may need to go to a boarding home or convalescent home to have a safe environment.

For people who are cared for at home:
•Changes may be needed to stay safe from falls in the home and bathroom, prevent wandering, and make the home easier to use. The bed and bathroom should be easy to reach. Items (such as throw rugs) that may cause a fall should be removed.
•A number of devices can help with activities such as cooking or eating, bathing or showering, moving around the home or elsewhere, dressing and grooming, writing and using a computer, and many more activities.
•Family counseling may help you cope with the changes needed for home care. Visiting nurses or aides, volunteer services, homemakers, adult protective services, adult day care, and other community resources (such as a local Department of Aging) may be helpful.
•Legal advice may be needed. Advance directives, power of attorney, and other legal actions may make it easier to make decisions about care.

SPEAKING AND COMMUNICATING

After a stroke, some people may have problems finding a word or being able to speak more than one word or phrase at a time. Or, they may have trouble speaking at all. This is called aphasia.
•People who have had a stroke may be able to put many words together, but they may not make sense. Patients do not usually know that what they are saying is not easy to understand. They may get frustrated when they realize other people cannot understand.
•It can take up to 2 years to recover speech. Not everyone will fully recover.

A stroke can also damage the muscles that help you speak. As a result, these muscles do not move the right way when you try to speak.

A speech and language therapist can work with you and your family or caregivers. You can learn new ways to communicate.

•Dysarthria - care

THINKING AND MEMORY

After a stroke, people may have:
•Changes in their ability to think or reason
•Changes in behavior
•Memory problems
•Poor judgment

These problems increase the need for safety precautions.

Depression after a stroke is common. Depression can start soon after a stroke, but symptoms may not begin for up to 2 years after the stroke. Treatments for depression include:
•Increased social activity -- more visits in the home or going to an adult day care center for activities
•Medicines for depression and visits to a therapist or counselor

MUSCLE, JOINT, AND NERVE PROBLEMS

Moving around and doing normal daily tasks such as dressing and feeding may be harder after a stroke.

Muscles on one side of the body may be weaker or may not move at all. This may involve only part of the arm or leg, or the whole side of the body.
•Muscles on the weak side of the body may be very tight.
•Different joints in the body may become hard to move. The shoulder and other joints may dislocate.

Many of these problems can cause pain after a stroke. Pain may also occur from changes in the brain itself. You may use pain medicines, but check with your health care provider first. People who have pain due to tight muscles may get medicines that help with muscle spasms.

Physical therapists, occupational therapists, and rehabilitation doctors will help you relearn how to:
•Dress, groom, and eat
•Bathe, shower, and use the toilet
•Use canes, walkers, wheelchairs, and other devices to stay as mobile as possible
•Possibly return to work
•Keep all of the muscles as strong as possible and stay as physically active as possible, even if you cannot walk
•Manage muscle spasms or tightness with stretching exercises and braces that fit around the ankle, elbow, shoulder, and other joints

BLADDER AND BOWEL CARE

A stroke can lead to problems with bladder or bowel control. These problems may be caused by:
•Damage to part of the brain that helps the bowels and bladder work smoothly
•Not noticing the need to go to the bathroom
•Problems getting to the toilet in time

Symptoms may include:
•Loss of bowel control, diarrhea (loose bowel movements), or constipation (hard bowel movements)
•Loss of bladder control, feeling the need to urinate often, or problems emptying the bladder

Certain medicines your doctor may prescribe may help with bladder control. You may need a referral to a bladder or bowel specialist.

Sometimes, a bladder or bowel schedule will help. It can also help to place a commode chair close to where you sit most of the day. Some people need a permanent urinary catheter to drain urine from their body.

To prevent skin or pressure sores:
•Clean up after incontinence
•Change position often and know how to move in a bed, chair, or wheelchair
•Make sure the wheelchair fits correctly
•Have family members or other caregivers learn how to watch out for skin sores

SWALLOWING AND EATING AFTER A STROKE

Swallowing problems may be due to a lack of attention when eating or damage to the nerves that help you swallow.

Symptoms of swallowing problems are:
•Coughing or choking, either during or after eating
•Gurgling sounds from the throat during or after eating
•Throat clearing after drinking or swallowing
•Slow chewing or eating
•Coughing food back up after eating
•Hiccups after swallowing
•Chest discomfort during or after swallowing

A speech therapist can help with swallowing and eating problems after a stroke. Diet changes, such as thickening liquids or eating pureed foods, may be needed. Some people will need a permanent feeding tube, called a gastrostomy.

Some people do not take in enough calories after a stroke. High-calorie foods or food supplements that also contain vitamins or minerals can prevent weight loss and keep you healthy.

OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

Both men and women may have problems with sexual function after a stroke. Medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (Viagra or Cialis) may be helpful. Ask your health care provider whether these drugs are right for you. Talking with a therapist or counselor may also help.

Treatment and lifestyle changes to prevent another stroke are important. This includes healthy eating, controlling illnesses such as diabetes and high blood pressure, and sometimes taking medicine to help prevent stroke.

Keep trolling Steve, stop making this thread into the special Olympics and take your disability excuses somewhere else. Maybe if you didn't work so "hard" you wouldn't be dealing with it.

I asked you politely to stop mudding up my thread, take your attitude elsewhere you bitter old fool.
