Congratulations and best wishes to you ! How blessed you are that your petition is going to VSC. Now go treat yourself to a manicure. (F)

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Man, you've got to be the Henny Youngman of this site with your one-liner posts! I see you pop in and out of almost every thread on here and I don't see any advice. And you're a platinum member of VJ since joining last month? Posting one-liners just to receive "platinum" status? :yes:
