Well, Im way too close to 40 for comfort, married to the same woman twice (long story, I also have 2 anniversaries to forget) for a total of 11 years, 5 kids (2 Goldens, 1 Dalmatian, 1 Spaniel mix, 1 Maine Coon). Born in Utah, lived there till Dad passed away when I was 7. Moved back east and lived in the Philly suburbs for most of my growing formative years. Was a very rowdy, hell-raising truant in my teens, I saw school as a sort of prison that was to be avoided at any price, and avoid it I did. Ive had my share of scrapes with the man (never anything truly evil) and eventually reformed into a calmer more peaceful sort. I am a voracious reader of books on any subject, and what little I do know is mostly learned that way, have a degree from the school of hard knocks. I enjoy boating and jetskiing, snorkeling, camping, building model aircraft, drawing, painting and other artsy fartsy stuff, Big Band and Blues, re-hydrating and beer hunting, having fun with friends, and now this PC thing.
Ive been in more businesses than I can recall, from various sales jobs (remember Ive fallen and I cant get up? Yep, I was on their team) but found it hard to take direction from bosses I didnt respect (that damned independent streak) and so have mostly been self employed in various contracting businesses. I have always liked creating and building things with my own two hands, and I have learned many skills that will come in handy in any type of economy. I get a lot of satisfaction from turning a hovel into a castle. Got tired of freezing my ass off on the job, and headed south.
On a scale of 1-10 Ill hazard a WAG of 6.5, sliding down that slippery slope leading to who knows where. Gut says bad coming. I have always been a live for today, have fun party animal, but this has changed my tune, Im glad I lived it up while things were good.
Next stop-uncertainty. All aboard!

Look, son, when you get to be my age it has nothing to do with laziness. If you live to be 63 we'll discuss it then.I looked at that ripper and don't even know which of those programs to download. I don't do this Internet stuff much; my nephew told me to use this URL and post from an anonymous URL and that's about the extent of my "sophistication".
I would like to thank you once again for your help though. I guess I'm not going to get back in, but at least you tried your best. I have to give you credit for trying.
Best wishes,
Tom Burns
