Furthermore, a degree means NOTHING....other than you were able to jump through the hoops necessary to get it...not that you know one iota more than the next person.

Engineers are the MOST peculiar people ever I have had to deal with, worse than brain surgeons and so forth.

Frank Lloyd Wright decided not to jump through the hoops but I don't recall him saying anything negative about graduate degrees. Did you minor in Trollology ? That should have been your major. lw

i, for one, am aghast at the flag pin being pandered on this site to which you so shamelessly linked.
i have been corrupted by your influences enough to propose: "ITMFA" day, the dawn of a new national holiday, y'know, simular to guy fawkes day? instead of the effigy role for he who would overthrow the king, it would be for he who would establish himself as monarch! another site from which to avert your gaze: www.bonefire.org/guy Quote:

I haven't decided yet. Actually, I agreed with half of what he said and half not.

Did you listen to the audio commentary. They played it on our local/national public radio a couple of days ago (PRI/public radio int'l[?]). I included the hyperlink. It is a "tongue in cheek" interview w/ a british reporter.

Petals, Engineers can be lovely people. A little eccentric maybe, but we can be putty in your hands. I'll be over your way about the 8th of next month en-route to Jamaica. I hope your over the worst? Kind regards,

dR, I think you'd be surprised. Degrees are generally easily won decorations, provided you make a genuine effort. Kind regards,

Dear JBG: That will be fine, sounds like a lovely journey!! I hope NOT to be ship shape by then (if u know what I mean).....ocean racer shape, okay, (not ship shape!!) I dated only one engineer when I was younger, and one chemist; the engineer seemed to be quirky and liked to argue. The chemist, as I recall was rather too quiet. My father in law is a retired engineer and model railroad afficianado. Yes, they (engineers) can be putty in a woman's hands, 'tis true. With kindest personal regards, I remain, sincerely yours Petals
