Would this be illegal?
I had some problems with this company last year. I’ve already posted a complaint:
http://www.ripoffreport.com/landscaping/spring-masters-canad/spring-masters-canada-crooks-r-35388.htm
I’m about to post a rebuttal and include these pictures to prove that I’m telling the truth. My concern is on the contract it mentions “not divulging company secrets”. Would any of these do that:

ID badge: http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab267/springmasterscanada/SpringMastersCanadaIDbadge.jpg
Legal contract: http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab267/springmasterscanada/SpringMastersCanadaContract.jpg
Before you answer; the company wouldn’t even give me a copy of this contract. I had to file a report with the unemployment board and they sent me a copy. The work is aimed at highschool kids, most of whom won’t have any idea what they’re signing and don’t have a chance to ask a parent for help.
Will you please read and c/c Part One of “The Canada” and join me on this perilous journey?
Thought I would post Part One in case some who missed might want to catch it before I post Part Two later today. This poem is five parts, will release here daily depending on response. Based on a True Story. Enjoy the ride, and try to put yourself if my shoes. Thanks, Bri

The Canada
Stories of ‘The Six’ Sons
Part One
Prelude
There’s a reason this tale has yet to be told
We agreed never again to go back and unfold
No words will ever do this writing justice
What I am to tell you creative illustrious
Whether you believe or not like your choice of cola
I indulge you to read on—ensconced inside our pergola.
If only, barely, solely to feel
Extraordinary, implausible, albeit factual and real?
The six brothers were together again with Dad
Plus two mates, one happened to be nicknamed Head
That’s as funny as it will get here,
Tomb-like it was said this Hemisphere
From Lake La Croix to a bus ride meant for Hell unfavored
Iron Lake to brutal portage then Crooked Lake we labored,
We laughed, cringed and sang as we lifted boat, motor & tackle
A crew of well trained mercenaries here to unshackle
We finally set sail and found our rock of an island
Set up our quarters three to a tent on high-land
Placed a fire, put down our meal, talked, watched shooting stardom,
Told some stories and it was lights out in our celestial kingdom.
The next several days be great for fishing,
Lots of brotherhood – male bonding we’re wishing
We all missed our girlfriends, is not we feign
Now just the six, two bros, and Dad we remain
Turned in for the night, Head in the middle, brothers on the flank
Swiftly it came, –Beep, Beep, crack, shake, shatter, non-stop we rank
Lightning shower unabated was the coolest storm
Five inches no mizzle – we made it till morn
Keep in mind this mass of rain
The squall of a decade some might claim
Fishing would come again on the morrow
Historic, ill-fated night yet to sorrow
In
The Canada
(to be continued)

Note: The friends name in S3, “Head” – real name Andy, was not meant to be offense or vulgar. That was his nickname because he had a big Head, the kind attached above ones shoulders. I mentioned him because of his impact on the fishing trip. He was so funny and gave us all constant laughs, but even this event left him speechless, to this day, concerning the events of The Canada.

Update: Part Two will be released later today. Hope you don’t miss it.

TBO: Come to think of it, you are right, Head, or Andy, is a bit like you. I knew there was some subliminal reason to bring him into the poem. lol

Please help mature/experienced: Should I trust my “gut feeling” or go with lingering emotions?
Best answer 5 stars. I know it’s fairly long, but I appreciate help!
I am 24 & dating my long-term beau (he’s 23) — whom I do not see myself marrying/settling down with. I am unsure about the future with him.. We were high school sweethearts & go way, way back. We went to school together. We dated for almost 4 years & then broke up for a couple reasons. After a year & a half apart, he perused me in May & we started dating again. It all happened so fast (maybe too fast), next thing I knew we were just like we used to be. I felt that if I didn’t try I may regret & think “what if..” I didn’t want to be left wondering & of course being each other’s first loves, there were lingering feelings & nostaligia “remember when..” etc. Well, some things have changed–while some things have not changed. He has not matured as much as I’d like & I have changed a great deal. We still both live in the same small town (he’s not going anywhere, as his landscaping business is based here & so is all his family). I almost felt like he asked me out again because he literally can’t get anyone else.. He’s not very romantic (which I’m usually okay with lol), not all that charming and doesn’t know the right things to say, etc. He’s always struggled in the dating arena. But somehow he still had a hold on my heart & vice versa. Well, I am concerned about a few things at this point after a couple months of dating again; For one thing, he recently moved in with a friend (his first time out of parents house) and I can’t stand the guy. He’s not really the greatest friend or a good example & loves to party, get wasted, etc. He’s pretty lame.. kinda trailer-trashy, sits around with his beer watching tv. You get the picture. He has no girlfriend & could care less if/when my bf hangs out with me. This is something I think I can deal with, but the other concerns are larger; My boyfriend and I are on very different planes in our belief systems. It is something that kinda haunts me in the back of my mind. It isn’t something I can’t really shake. I’ll forget about it for a few weeks, but then it creeps up again (he’s a liberal agnostic in a non-church going family; I was raised conservative christian..I’m aware his parents can’t stand me esp his mom). He respects my beliefs, but I can’t help but remember how we used to argue sometimes about our opposite views. While I am not a religious freak or like the people portrayed on TV, at the end of the day I have my faith & stick to my guns. We have not discussed anything religious since we started dating again. I was thinking I may invite him out to church in a few months in a non-pushy way, but if he says no then I think I should give up on converting him & move on..Because it IS somewhat important to me. I can’t ignore it. Next, I am concerned I may be accidentally using him in a way.. He gives me most of my social life. Half my friends live far away, and when we hang out he has fun ideas or places to go. I work 32 hours a week so that eats up a lot of social time too. Lastly, we are both virgins & I feel this sense of urgency in a way that he wants to get on with it already now that we’re older.. He has always respected my body & I give him major props for that.. It is very safe to say he didn’t just want me for sex — he never got it in the 3 1/2 years we dated! BUT I still don’t really want to do it now either..No matter how old I am because I want to wait til I have further commitment from someone (at least be engaged). I don’t care if I sound old-school, that’s just the way I am. I used to suggest this but at this point I don’t know how he’d handle it if I said I need a ring before intercourse.
I think we may be BOTH using each other in a way? We are comfortable with each other — we know how to laugh, how to have a good time. We have some good memories. But I don’t think that is enough to sustain a future. What are your thoughts? Where should I go from here? In my small gossipy town, I don’t want to be known as the dysfunctional couple but I try not to care what others think.. I’d just rather possibly break it off sooner rather than later and end up really hurt. It’s like I DO love him, but I don’t know if I should keep pursuing this.. I’m not sure if I’m IN love with him anymore.. Too much time went by, I had started to move on in a sense. Like part of me moved on at least? I feel neutral but when we’re together I usually have a blast & he’s smiling too.. Idk what to do.. My gut feeling says that this may be no good.. I don’t want to feel used. I am so torn.. Thank you for input.. This is a tough situation, I really need mature unbiased help. It is hard to get advice from friends/family on this. I need input from outsiders. It is greatly appreciated. THANK YOU.
