Tobacco

[FaiL.?]

I'm being employed to pick tobacco this summer, as a new job, hopefully with better advantages (Money). Can anyone here describe what the conditions are like? I tried google a while ago, no help at all

Since no one else will ask, are you illegal?

[[m'kay]]

well he lives in Europe and is underage, so you're right nobody else will ask

I live in the tobacco capital of the world. I can say, it's not a good time.

North Carolina? Or Kansas?

It's funny, I visit another forum where it's common for us to know each others names and addresses. But for some reason on here, I don't want you people (not all of you) to know anymore about me than can be helped.

I guess the difference is that on the other forum I visit, we all have jobs and are too busy for the bs stalking and harassment that goes on here.

If there was a way to only show some people your name, address, etc, I'd do it. Plenty of people on here I trust. Nite, Haas, MD, Panama, etc.

But there are quite a few where I'd prefer you to know as little as possible about me.

Don't trust me with wookie rockets dude....seriously.

Don't trust me with wookie rockets dude....seriously.

I'm going to kick your wookiee loving button this weekend...


This is your only warning.
Have a nice day.

I had an opportunity to work on a Tobbaco Farm back in the 70s for a summer. I visited the farm and was shown what was expected. It was expected I'd get up before dawn, ride a tobacco seeder during hot days, and do other chores into the evening. No pay. Just a free hearty breakfast, lunch and dinner along with an appreciation of hard work. I did not appreciate hard work at the time, so I passed. Do I regret it...hard to say. Depends what you want to gain from it. What's your goals doing it? Will it help you be a better person (sure it will, but what's your mentality?...you a Farmer type?). Do they have a hot daughter?...etc.
