Speaking of Hookups...

I was just thinking...
I'm sure most of us have jobs, and some of us are probably in sales, or service type jobs that would allow us to hook eachother up with stuff at discounts... Maybe someone is a paint and body guy or a plumber or an electrician... Car salesman?  Maybe we could compile a list or our various professions and we could then all help eachother out... Not a bad idea considering the bad economy and all.   
Anyway, I'm not gonna put what I do until some others agree that this is a good idea, for fear that I may come off like I'm just trying to boost my commissions..LOL.  Seriously though, I figured it was a good you scratch my back kind of thing for us to do for one another.  If anybody hates the idea, or if it is un-p.c. just let me know and I will drop it.   

just add on to the topic below:

Not a Bad idea at all...

   I think this comunity we have been building here is strong enough to do many things,

 Including helping each other out with the " necessities of life "..

 I'm kind of at of loss as far as ' Trading Commodities "

  Unless your House is on Fire or your in need of some Barbaric Medical Attention
