Ah yes more words of wisdom from the Goddess..hmm there seem to be no groveling smilies.
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

In THAT case Mert, here's my old standby for just such a situation like that: "If I'M talking, YOU should be taking notes!" 
Cheers,

Actually Mark...that ISN'T an "old standby" of mine. In keeping with the coffee mug that my wife bought me a few years ago which reads: "The Man, The Myth, The Legend", her sister gave me for Christmas this year a sweatshirt emblazened with the above "note taking" verse!!! Ya THINK they're tryin' to tell me somethin'??? Cheers, Dwight (HEY...one of the reasons this egomaniac here has gotten along with the wife and all of her relatives for so long is that THEY TOO appreciate sarcasm!)

I have some old sayings to. If at first you dont succeed, Give Up. If in doubt, give it a clout (Clout, as in whack the  out of it) Or If in doubt, give up and go down the pub. Always one of my favorites that one.

That second one there is just a little off the mark, Mark.
I BELIEVE the "correct" proverb goes like THIS: "If at first you don't succeed, GET A BIGGER HAMMER!"
(at least that's what every mechanic who's ever worked on old brit iron has always told me)

Here's the only 2 thoughts I want to ponder (that can be printed here)...  1. When will I get my obligatory huge snowfall so I can enjoy it upper here in my little riverside cabin in the Northwoods, and... 2. How many more days till Spring.... The rest is really quite meaningless!

I've always liked these two.
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
If it don't fit force it.
Farina huh?

They said it couldn't be done
But he, with a grin replied
I'll never say it couldn't be done
Not at least until I've tried.
So he pitched right in
With a trace of a grin
By cracky he got right to it
And he tackled the thing that couldn't be done
And you know...
He couldn't do it.
if life gives you lemons keep them because hey,free lemons.

I'm not a glass "half-full" or "half-empty" kind of guy...
If that's all the scotch you have, why is your glass so big?

Hummmm....Question here, Greg:
Is one who reads his own posts out loud as he types them into the BA.com website and then chuckles to himself, subject to this surveillance procedure o' yours??? 
(just wanted to know 'bout this so I can warn Rob if he'll have an extra duty when a certain "Evil Scientist" shows up at the Manchester Airport in about a week from now)

No Dwight, an occasional chuckle is OK, but when it turns into maniacal laughter or is followed by lengthy discussions with oneself, or a gleam in the eye whilst polishing one's hunting rifle(accompanied by aforementioned laughter or discussions)... Hope this clears things up for you buddy!

Well THANK GOD! Ya see, I DO every bit o' that EXCEPT with the rifle.
So...if you're reading this Rob, according to Greg here you'll have nothing to worry about OR have any "extra duties" to perform next week when the "Evil Scientist" arrives into your little slice o' heaven up there in NH!!!
