Hi all,
first let me congrat my friend S.
second let me take advantage of opportunity Renee opened up by saying that …… that is what attracts me to you …. your interest in brains (an area I can hide … to some extent) … and not of other areas more easily found out 
okay now that i got my dirty joke aimed toward Renee (cause she’s my favorite although I’d be as nasty towards Gam but I’m afraid she’d kick my ass and Renee has too far too travel lol)
back to S. very admirable sir. And you’ve every reason to deserve to beat the chest and where else better than those where amongst you are respected.
also to the G who said he quit at 16 formal ed. My father was very successful at his chosen means of income although he quit formal ed at the 8th grade level and he managed to raise, and in the smarter siblings (not myself) send through college a bunch of kids … so I feel kinship to you G for that reason if not that I like the way you call ’em.
