Uh Pat, after poking me about spelling and using spell check, ya missed one yourself...

I'll leave it to you to find it....and I won't even use it as an excuse to insult you.

Hey Bull, ya got any more insults to throw at me? Ya must have run out of anything of substance. What an angry persona.

I have told several times before how far I took my education and where. I don't think repeating it means anything, especially after all these years. Back then it wasn't considered bragging, the teachers among us here were just chatting.One was working on her masters. They've been chased off....got sick of the anti teacher rages. ( You would benefit from checking your spellin' too...find 'em.

)
Now you want an IQ battle? I do know what mine was just after college and I think I told that too, and how I happened to be tested in the first place. In some areas I would do even better now, others probably worse. It's plenty high, that's good enough. (Do you dare tell yours?)
My father was the truly brilliant one. I couldn't hold a candle to him. It wasn't just book smart either. He could build or repair anything. He always said he got his smarts from his Kansas mother. He grew up outside Howard.
As far as using search engines, why not? There is good information there for things that hadn't been invented yet when I was in school. I can get details about things that hadn't happened yet or more detail on things that had. That doesn't mean I don't have my own store house of knowledge, I do. I used to read many encyclopedias on many topics...now they are about extinct. So you could have been a teacher...SO? How nice for ya! More attemps at insults? Why bother? I'm still backing into retirement and expect to be totally retired by the time I'm 70, but it depends on how much $ gets offered to me.

Where did the insults about wilderness living come from? and why? You are all over the place! Yes, I'm over weight.There are many out there who could lose some pounds too. So what. I didn't get really heavy until my doc put me on Avandia about 10 years ago and it blew me up like a sausage. I was bordering CHF. I'm still fighting to get it off, slowly, but I never stop trying. Besides I could live off my own blubber for days! That might be quite an advantage. D

Off to get some work done before the fire company picnic.
