Morning all...I'm going to go catch up with the thread in a bit, but I wanted to say thanks for the support.

Hehee...my thought exactly. Here was my response to him:
"Let's see:
1) A lot is two words
2) Expiration is spelled with an "i", not an "e"
3) Experation [sic] date? At least I don't look 10 years older than my age.
4) Are you saying that I should finish college or you should? It must be you because you clearly need to learn how to spell and parse sentences properly. Also, your reading comprehension seems to be lacking. I did say I wasn't a secretary, correct?
5) I already have a degree as well as some minors and post-graduate work.
6) I'm not a snob who seems to think secretaries belong in the "less than" category. I judge people by their character, not by their job or how much money they make. You're not make a good showing, that's for sure.
7) The word "overcompensating" comes to mind when reading your profile. I wonder why?"
8) But above all, I know that "a lot" is two words.
My co-workers wanted me to add something about his hairline, but that was a little to low for me.
Anyway, he e-mailed again but it was completely boring. So I told him that even his insults were boring and then blocked him. Meh. Off to actually read what y'all have been chatting about....

Where'd all this chatter come from? I only stepped away for a moment to the pub and the imponderables and the thread of one who shall remain nameless in PR address book, and now it's going to take me the rest of the afternoon to catch up here!
"Well, here I am...Does that seem right to you?"

you'll do fine Jonny. I guess we're all just chatty today:)
Rugbug- good response...I would have added" you have my most sincere pity for your serious personality defects and I can reccomend several good therapists, however I doubt they'd be interested in seeing you."

I was about 5 the first time I handled a gun. I used to hunt with my Dad. He pushed rules that were very similar to what PR added earlier.
I have alot of respect for them. I just do not do anything that requires owning one (Unless you count my Tippman 68 carbine Paintball gun that is).
OK time for the funny (and scary) Dad story......
About a year and a half ago I was out at my parents house trimming the branches of a tree behind their bedroom when I noticed a hole clean through their bedroom wall. They lived alone and way out in the country. Anyway, I asked my Dad what the hole was and he acted all sheepish and said he didn't know, must have been there when they bought the house.
So I asked my Mom. She said that my Dad had just gotten back from hunting and was cleaning his gun and it went off. (It was a .22 with "Bird Shot") Yup my Dad mister safety fired off a shot in the house. No one was home but him at the time and it was an outside wall but man was that scary. So the next day I was over again and I told him that if he wanted I could get the Sherrif's Hunting Safety Instructor (a friend of mine) to come over and teach him proper rifle safety.
It really damaged his ego
Now you have to understand my Dad a bit. He has a real powerful respect for firearms and is a real strict man when it comes to the rules. Normally he won't even pack up after a hunting trip without cleaning his gun there and pulling the firing pin before it goes back into it's case and is put in the trunk. He didn't follow his own rules just this one time and look at how much fun I get to have at his expense for years to come.
Even the safest people make mistakes. That is one of the reasons I have no weapons in the house.

yeah I can see how that'd be embarrassing. I would agree even the most responsible of us have done something dippy while in a hurry or some such. Glad it didn't have more serious consequences.
EDIT- and Jonny I figure with all those cute doggies, I doubt you'd need guns...I did feel the need to pass this doggy costume website on to you

So NICO I gotta ask...
Title is from Ren and Stimpy right?
Man I miss that show. The new ones they put out a year back were just terrible. I want the classics!

The gun thing is quite alien for me. No tradition of it in the UK. Guns are the province of the armed forces and criminals, barring those few who hunt. (And considering that the largest carnivore in the UK is a badger, it ain't exactly big game.)

I agree with everyone..I have NO problem teaching the boy basic gun safety just like has been outlined above...that's just common sense. I just think 5 is too young. Husband thinks that next spring, when he will be 6 is a good time to start. Bleh.
(PR- Usually, I say Gopher's Crotch, Arkansas, but he's from Kansas...(El Dorado, which is South of Wichita)
And Jonny, you are being a saucy fellow today. Is Mrs. Quest away, perchance???

I like those guidlines, PR. Especially knowing where the clips are!
Mavourneen, I understand your stance. I am a collector and user of firearms of all sorts...or I have been on and off for all my life. The first time I fired a gun, I was 5 years old. It was a very big deal for me, and I treated the moment with respect and awe. (To give you an idea, the first thing I ever fired was a .45 Ruger Blackhawk that my stepfather gave to me several years back. Oh, and PR...I did not hit myself in the head with it ) I respect guns, and safety was drilled into my head at an early age. I have had one minor accident in 30 years of gun handling...a new acquisition that I was not used to put a hole in my roof. Don't ask. 
So, I am a firm believer in teaching children about guns. I agree with MSG about the lack of understanding of consequences under age 8, but I still think they should be taught at an early age. Knowledge is power, and knowing what guns are for and what they can do is important.
RugBug, that was classic! I am glad you had fun with him.
JQ, this is how this thread goes...silence for a spell, then 35 posts per hour. When we get to talkin', we really get to talkin'!
KelKhil...see my above post involving a gun inside a house...I sympathize with him. I am the same way about safety, and the same thing happened to me.
