Nope! I was born in Arkansas!:D

Besides I am on good behavior this month.

Do not want to entice Dusty to post another swan song!:rolleyes:

Change "Community" to "Potpourri" and I will agree!

I see Community forum as a catch all re topics, but a thread's topic is still relevant and potentially hi-jackable(assumming the prevalent opinion that that 'exists', rather than being a normal progression(changing)).

You failed to include the final ). If you have a parenthetical statement within a parenthetical statement the final one must be closed with two - two, not one parentheses. We punctuarians (N) are adamant about adhering to the rules. Now I have hijacked it! So there,

all you who insist on rules of your own.

You may think that you are a "head guy", but you obviously have been suppressing your inner computer programmer. He's just itching to bust out!

Well, just as every occasion requires at least a new dress, and/or new shoes, and/or matching handbag, and don't forget earrings or other jewelry items...Every job/project requires at least one new tool, accessory and possibly square drive screws or other fasteners.

Since we both like the workshop here we have to have policies and negotiate. Luckily I'm not big on shoes or handbags

OMG! How did you ever discover that? In 1969, just before I started on a Ph.D. in Psych I discussed my plans with a long term friend who had just quit the CIA. I told him I was going for the Psych doctorate with a minor in computer programming. (We still used the IBM with Hollerith cards -aka IBM then). I didn't have an answer. It just seemed to balance out something, which I never discovered because I didn't do the programming stuff.

Although, as a reminder to those who are programmers: In 1980 Collins Radio ran it's entire payroll on an 8K processor. How's that for programming? High, tight and out of sight!

Doing more with less.

That should be the motto of the USMC - under this Obominable administration.

I understand the first paragraph. New Dress, Handbags, shoes, jewelery, earrings, Yada, yada, yada. What's with the next part? Then Negotiation - What negotiation? That loot is offset by ONE new tool or accessory or possibly (possibly?) square drive screws or fastener? I have been the victim of the one screw (not square) but don't understand the others.

"Since we both like the workshop here we have to have policies and negotiate." Negotiate or capitulate? Don't want to compare your strategies with Putin vs. Obama but just mentioning it means I did. Quit similar with mine versus - well, I don't want to say or I will be quoted on MSNBC.

Do I understand this correctly?Dress, Handbags, Shoes, Jewelery, Earrings equals one screw? Been there, done that; don't go there.

db5 buddy, you confuse me. Perhaps I confused you?

2 woodworkers at my house, married to each other, both of us love tools.

Hope that helps!
