        leftyo, your interesting. I also take offense at your non capitalization. I got crap all through high school and poor grades for flunking "English". I made a half hearted attempt to learn"english". I can write in cursive. I'm dangerous with a comma. B(capital B)ut you are eruidite(fancy word for someone who can express themselves) although "Scottish crazy". I've known enough short tempered Scotts to recognize it.
        If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.

          its an internet forum, people who want to judge others by how things are written on a forum have some serious mental issues. if someone wants to pay me for my time, they get a different product.

            As far as past experiences, education, branch of service, training and previous/current jobs, anybody can make up something.

              England and Japan have gun bans. People still get shot. They're islands. If bans worked that wouldn't be possible.
              I dream of a better world. One where chickens may cross the road without their motives being questioned.

I'm a trained engineer, going on 30+ years at it, never missed a paycheck. Show us a glimpse of the man behind the poorly punctuated curtain.
                During the French Revolution there were three who were to be guillotined for crimes against the revolution. One was a baker, another a candlestick maker, the last a TRAINED ENGINEER. Being a government the cheapest executioner was used with questionable equipment. The first to go was the baker, when asked if he had anything to say he asked to say his prayers. After having done so the blade was dropped and stuck half way. Under French rule the man was executed and taken away to releas to his family. The 2nd man said he had nothing to say and again the blade malfunctioned and he was released. All this time the TRAINED ENGINEER watched the mechanism intently. When asked for his last words he proudly replied, "I am a TRAINED ENGINEER and can fix the blade for you!!" Proudly the TRAINED ENGINEER'S family had this engraved on his headstone...

                  Unlikely scenario given the guillotine would have been desgined on a cost+ contract, and required to go through first article on counselors and therapists to demonstrate operational readiness.
