    Martin,
    You know I'm just teasing you good naturedly about The Lady, right? I have a car in the barn, with a quarter million miles on it, that I feel the same way about. Her name is Mitzi. (She's a Mitsubishi Eclipse, first year)

    If anyone wants me today, I'll be in the garden, eating worms.

    Johanna

    As to the avatar - I was just looking for some wrapping paper. Already got the ribbing!

    ;)

    Edit after SD2 -> intentional dual pupose spelling. Its Ohms law that throws me for a loop. :cool:

    With respect to spelling, I must point out that perhaps you meant to spell "ribbon" instead of "ribbing. "

    Now I must also confess to second thoughts about my earlier gramatically incorrect post that Martin quoted and added further exposure of my ignorance.

    Quoting his quote:

    Rock, if you can spot the errors, I'll let you slide on your tiny slip. If not, I'll expect you to enroll in ESL at your earliest opportunity. Wave at me, I'll be the guy sitting in the corner with the funny cap. :D

    Hey Johanna: I drove an Eclipse in the 90s, loved that little car and it's 5 speed stick shift. You should have seen me maneuvering her through traffic on I-95 in Miami to work and back. She sure was nimble.

    But I had to sell her when I moved to Georgia, they wouldn't let me in to Fannin County without a Pick Up Truck and a 30-30 hanging in the rear window.

    I have to say Johanna,
    You paint a perfect (albeit) comical picture of us lot (including yourself)! :D

    Hi All: Well, just to satisfy Surferdude's quest for mistake free English and to lead this thread a bit further astray from the topic, quoting a grammatically incorrect quote:

    I believe this to be the grammatically correct rewrite:

    "Safety first prevents death and litigation, the latter always being the more painful of the two. "

    I just hope that the members of this board in the legal profession are not offended, no slur intended. :D

    Martin
