Has anyone here met coonman 220 or know him? I more and more think he is a alter personality of another member here. Doing a little trolling for chits and giggles...Perhaps I am wrong. I have a hard working employee that writes like, and if I could imagine talking to coonman 220, talk like him. But my employee makes far better $$$ decisions, and actually is doing well for himself and his needs are met without any debt. Sometimes I wonder if Coonman 220 is real....But always the train wreck many of us fall for.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

If you ever had the chance to spend a little time talking with him you would understand a little better.

And what you hear is what you get. I'd say he's just another member here who helps make this place as colorful as it is.

Coonman, you live by Dubuque and instead of driving the short distance to make more money at someplace like AY McDonald as a machinist you choose to stay at a place that pays you a lot less and treats you like crap. I think you like that place personally. I know you work 2 part time jobs. It's past time to get 1 full time job that pays more. The other job is custodial work and you say you like that so go be a cleaner full time.
Go put an application in at Hormel they're looking for workers so are a lot of other places. Iowajobs.org or Dubuque jobs
As far as burning up gas and putting more miles on a wore out truck trapping coon this year that's your fault. If you thought you'd make a profit doing that you're delusional. If you had a full time job and ran a short line on your way to or from work it would make sense. I get wanting to trap but not if it puts you in a financial hole.
Once again Good Luck I hope things turn around for you but you have to help yourself sometime. straight talk. Sometimes a change is needed to improve ones circumstances.

Get your weekly adds and go through them. I know you go to Walmart to get groceries but it is most likely the highest prices. Buy items that are on sale and buy enough to last you five weeks. The sale cycles are usually that long of a period in retail grocery. Example is bread. When it goes on sale and you eat a loaf a week then buy five loaves. If burger goes on sale buy what you need for five weeks. Look at those tabs(sales flyers) and focus on sale items. Look through all of them and then ask if they will price match other stores. Do not buy things from any end caps or bulk bins because they are a trap. Do not buy National brands but instead buy store brands. If you have an Aldi's to get your fruit ,veggies, eggs, and milk there because they are way cheaper. Plant a garden and can as much as you can. There are several ways to spend less on grub if you are not wanting to pay for convenience. Remember a lot of food stamps and ebt cards are used at Walmart and those folks don't care about higher prices because it is not their money but rather the taxpayer's. I worked retail as a merchandizer for years and it was my job to put higher priced products where it is convenient for you to grab and go. Hope this helps.
As for your 15 dollars an hour it is not going to happen but your 1400.00 will be in the account soon unfortunately. Put it away for a rainy day and don't spend it like it was not your money. After all it is not yours but my grandchildren's. LLL And stop trapping. LLL good advice. Sounds like a hobby he can't afford right now.

I've met him several times. I have is real name and address and have pictures of him. He always stirs up threads and gets a lot of information for people who may use it. Whether he chooses to take any of the advice himself, really makes no difference as likely someone reading it will be helped by it. Never thought of it like that. Maybe he makes posts and continuously ignores and disregards all advice, unless it is what he wants to hear, so he can help others who may have the same problem or situation. Maybe that’s it. Doing the Lords work if you will. Keep on keeping on Dave.

Well I can say I have never really seen a train wreck....But count my hunch as wrong...I still don't believe in Bigfoot though. On Coonman 220, I stand corrected.

I would sit down and have a beer with coonman before I would with a lot of others.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I'd like to meet the guy. Experts thought Einstein was unteachable, remember. He can catch a coon. Pretty small percentage overall could do that.
