  1. Cliff, I know where you are coming from. I started an apprenticeship in '68 with NO knowledge of the typography trade; went back to school studied and learned and learned on the job. I have never looked back since and the only time I've had off is my earned holidays. I moved into Advertising Agencies (they needed skilleded typographers) in my 40s when computer took over typesetting. I've hired my teachers after they retired, I still keep in touch with them. I have passed on my skill to whoever wanted to learn and proud to have a daughter who took marketing and was hired at two companies that I had enhanced and has herself a bright career. If you lose your job do what it takes . . . my motto has alway been "the best time to look for a job is when you have one" I actually did it in '76 (when I worked midnights) and the next 15 years were the best years of my life . . .
  2. I have 4 girls, 20 -32; teething is nothing compared to the shoes I had/have to navigate around!
  3. PM big Cliff he may have some laying around! My neighbour threw one out (he can't change a light bulb) during the summer 5 hp MDS in mint condition, probably used once or twice. I replaced the plug and float, cleaned it, changed the oil, put tubes in the tires and sold it for $350.00 all steel no plastic!
  4. And they need it! Geography wise. I was in Florida yesterday morning and the snow thing came up . . . and a gentleman asked me where we were from and told him ONTARIO CANADA . . . his answers "I guess you'll be home before us" (flight leaving at the same time) and then I asked him where he was from and he told me Arkansas . . . ? I almost broke up! No snow in my drive way!
  5. Coonass, great handle! You all drive carefully now!
  6. I did it for nine Lew, not pretty at all . . .

  8. Cliff, when we had our huts (3) off Oro nine in the 80s we had a plane land beside us, scared the crap out of us. I asked why he landed and he told me he was out sightseeing and noticed our flags on our huts (we had lots) and showed him wind direction. It was a very bright day Your guy was probably chasing the yote

  13. Gave up drinking coffee a few years back! Why you ask . . . Walked into a Starbucks (first time ever) at trendy, Yonge and Eglinton early one Sunday morning on my way to the office and asked for a "double double" :w00t: He wasn't too impressed to say the least, filled the cup to the rim and told me to "put in your own stuff", tasted like Last $3.00 they got out of me!
  14. I know someone like that – he married my daughter! Glad it got resolved.

  18. Hopefully everything works out well. Family dinners can be had at any time of year. I have one with my children every Sunday. My only living parent is getting close to 90 and every time we see her it's a blessing; but we also know that illness can happen at a moment's notice and can also be devastating; especially during the holidays; We can only hope for the best for our loved ones. take care A
  19. If you hear a 'splash, hop' really, really fast; it was too thin . . . Seriously, don't take any chances, it could kill you, it will get thick eventually. Play safe.
