I don't remember the name of it, but they have no ground forces. They are a Chapter that lives in space, on a fleet of their own commission. Colors are Dark Angels Green, Black, and Boltgun Metal. Like I said, can't recall the name.

As for you, jifel, I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know if I can ACTUALLY work this summer, I never went to get a work permit. We may be in the same position. Except I don't have a sister.

I really need money, but any jobs I could do require a car, or are already taken. I need to talk to neighbors about mowing lawns, but I don't really have neighbors. The three adjecant houses are for rent, condos, or have a lawn service and are empty.
To top that off, my sister gets 10 bucks an hour to babysit, about eight hours a day, 5 days a week.

Well, I will think of something. Complaining takes up time I could be making money. Now it needs to stop raining...

Pulling Weeds. That is the only way for me to make money today. While I can Arrange for a new opportunity later, I can't pull weeds while it's raining. $5 isn't worth it if you can do later.

Online job? Hmm...

I like your thinking.

If he says yes then everyone would ask the same question.

I heard you could do a job that is similar to this: http://www.legitonlinejobs.com/#ic

Also, if you can draw/paint well, I'm not exactly sure how commissions work, but you could try that.

Yeah, I wish.

Commissions would be amazing. If I could do anything commission-worthy.

You could design websites if you are good at that stuff.

Sweet! If the employee discount is big enough it can reduce the GW prices to merely ridiculous.

I've always liked the Tau, maybe because they already look like LEGO. Especially the drones.

Nice paint scheme.

Who's to say teenage guys cannot babysit? You could specialize in babysitting boys, and promote your interest and talent with LEGO. Possibly even bring some unsorted along for playtime. Girl babysitters just don't do that. So the parents will be pleased cause the boys have a great time.

I think what he meant was that his sister has TAKEN all of the babysitting jobs within a five mile radius.

And thanks for the compliment.

My older sisters say so. And they can get themselves to Babysiiting. Think about it, would you want an 18-year old who took classes for saving little kids and babysittong, or a 13 yearold that says he is good with kids. One is older, has proof, is a girl, and has a car. And I could play with the boys better true. I may actually do it when mysister goes to collage. It is deffinitely an option for consideration.
Anyway, lets not derail this thread!

EDIT: Olothontor is right, and more like 10 mile radius. At that point walking isn't an option.

I'm not sure there's anything to save. I'm pretty sure this thread is far too derailed.
