jumpin_catfish wondered why the LJW doesn't "go to Walmart, Target, Home Depot or some west Lawrence location and ask these questions."

Good point, and to register your disapproval I recommend you boycott posting in or reading these forums until this situation has been corrected!

Hee hee~ Your comments remind me of Office Space.

"I deal with the g--damn customers so the engineers don't have to! I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people! Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?!"

eke not eek :) transposing is the bane of my existence!! Although one can often hear shreeking, wailing, gnashing of teeth and see flying objects coming from within my cubicle. Due solely to the fact that I am surrounded by people who have yet to discover that I am a very special and sensitive person.

Ceal~ "eek out a living..." Is that where you get paid to be the designated screamer/chair jumper when the lab mice get loose? ;-)

We have a lot of medical people in our extended family--including a noted cardiologist. But I rarely call any of them. Between the internet, my trusty Stedman's, and, of course, the witch doctor, I can usually get any questions answered without being one of those annoying friends/relatives who consult professionals on their personal time for free advice. (They insist they don't mind, but it still seems presumptuous.) If I actually need medical care, I go to the doc and pay for her services.

Web md is good, also Mayo Clinic's site gives you more than you ever wanted to know about whatever medication you are taking. It doesn't really matter because whatever my ailment may be I get lots and lots of advise from family members (dare I say oftimes too much?). My mother, two of my sisters, one of my daughters and one of my granddaughters (Class of 2007 YEA) are nurses!!!! Just another area in which I am odd woman out : I never had any desire to do "medical" things . . but managed to find a way to make to eek out a living . . . without panhandling.

Stephanie,
I think your parents are optometrists not ophthalmologists...so, "medical school"?

So LJW why don't you go to Walmart, Target, Home Depot or some west Lawrence location and ask these questions? Lawrence has many streets last time I looked.

blue, Just a few areas, fender, door post, rockerpanel and door. When I've shot urethane it looks like a PopsicleÂ® dropped in loose dirt. The nanny-mobile is just about back together, should beat the start of school. Frame is straight, hand formed doorpost / rocker panel welded in place. However, I found out that thumbs and an english wheel don't mix...
