    I would probably think I was an arrogant dick...
    But I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard... to be the Shepherd.

      That was my first reaction, but then I got to thinking ... I'm always trying to speed up the conversation to get to the bottom line. I think I could get along quite well with another someone trying to get to the bottom line by the shortest possible path.

      The gentleman that I do gutters with must be similar to me. When I'm not thinking he's a jerk, we communicate with monosyllables and grunts, and communicate well.

      Great question. =^..^=
      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

          I've wondered that same thing many times. I have no idea. Maybe she's some kind of saint. =^..^=

                He likes Winnie the Pooh, Elmo, Cars, Lion King, even have the old Transformers animated movie and The Phantom Tollbooth.....however if a copy of Barney ever shows up in my house there will be a day of reckoning.

It was written by a South African novelist Peter Abrahams, titled '' Mine Boy'', written during the APARTHEID period. Main character was a mine worker called XUMA, another one JOHANNES. Both blacks working in horrible conditions in the gold & diamond minds of South Africa. Their only consolation in life was drinking, drinking and drinking especially on Saturdays & Sundays. If you met Johannes on a Saturday and again meet him on a Monday morning at work you would not believe he is the same person you saw yesterday! Hence the saying, ''Johannes DRUNK & Johannes SOBER were TWO different people!''.

                    Saturday Night and Sunday Morning was also a pretty good film from 1960 staring Albert Finney, worth a look if it is ever on TV

                      Almost the same... It's for that reason why I'm selective of what I show my kid - I don't care if he'll like it or not, will I be able to tolerate watching it 10 times a day?

                      Apparently I was obsessed with that purple monster when I was a child. Thankfully I don't have a TV, or cable for that matter.

                            It's a combination of that, and the limited space my small 1 bed room apartment provides, coupled with the destructive power of a toddler. I'm afraid to own a TV, because I know something will get thrown at it and I'll have to buy another one. I haven't had a TV or cable in 4 years already, I can manage to wait another one or two for the kid to grow up enough to stop throwing everything.

                                I didn't miss television programming at all from 1975 to 1988. My wife is enthusiastic about her television programs. For me it's mostly background noise.
