    Framed homes for roughly 15some years. Hence my screen name. Then got into re-model.
    Now, I am on my own doing maintenance/small construction projects/whatever someone calls me for.

    You can carve mean "Jack-o-lanterns" with one too. Just make sure you're outside & have goggles on.:D Draw your design first, then follow the yellow brick road.
    I confess, we have one. I use it (with home-made soft wheel) to weather my 1/35 scale armor.
    When I'm in the mood to do it which has not been for years...maybe three or four. I still have many (over 60) boxed up and in various stages of completion. Along with accessories, paint, tools, troops (about 150) Ger/Russ/Amer, and diorama "goodies" as well.
    I think the dremel is among them. and the dust


    I still can't decide on the display case I'm going to build, and where the boss will let me put it (above the garage most likely, after I remodel it).;)

    For more than 27 years, I was a newspaper editor and reporter.

    Then I actually found a job that is even more universally despised.

    I now work in government.

    A lawyer?!

    You mean, someone who defends child molesters?!

    Take thy beak from out my heart, Mr. Gardner.

    Did I say I had it on the wall? Er..uh..I..uh meant to say a friend had it on his wall, yeah, that's it, a friend and not me.

    Don't be so hard on yourself. I don't despise editors and reporters, unless you are so biased in your reporting, that is impossible to be believed.

    Hey! Not all lawyers are bad fellows! I have never represented anyone in court. I only handle corporate matters for the companies that employ me and I spend most of my time trying to help sales people get their deals through. My wife was also a corporate lawyer until she gave that up to shuttle our kids around and to write.

    More importantly, keep in mind that everyone has a right to representation in our country and that should be one of our more cherished priviliges of living in the USA!

    Nothing pretty at all about divorce proceedings. The only lawyers I know who have been attacked are divorce lawyers. When I lived in Boston, there was a string of incidents in which divorce lawyers (who were representing the wife) were shot by the angry husband.

    You're trapped in a room with a poisonous snake, a rabid jackal and a lawyer...

    ..... what do you do?
















    ...... shoot the lawyer....

    .....twice!
