    Me too, just substitute "scientist" for "engineer."
    Talk about timing for trying to fund a venture!

    Oh sorry! I didn't mean to - she just sounds like some of my favorite teachers growing up. I would like to be a student in her class room, I think.

    I do not want to scare you off, Minnie...

    Seablue - Please don't take me too seriously! smile I think you are just great and I have enjoyed immensely reading Minnie's posts as well! As I always tell people, I would never say anything I actually mean!

    Oh heck, I don't scare that easy!

    Thanks for the kind words, seablue (I'm a flutist, by the way); gotta say I don't feel too interesting today, though--I feel like what I am: a tubby aging hippie with creaky joints and a few bruises (note to self: no more multitasking while on a stairway!). Off for a cuppa and a sit, if the lads will let me.

    peace

    P.S. Minnie, I'm tubby, aging and I knit, too. I'm telling you, we need to get together for a chat...So much in common!

    Yeah... we were RIGHT in the middle of series B when October hit. Sheesh. Doesn't sound much better for the West Coast either. Best of luck to you!

    (No worries... I'm highly employable.)

    Yes, yes, what the heck are we thinking???

    We thought we'd try one more time for a DD. Lesse... my dad is the second of 7 boys, I'm the first of 3 boys... genetics are stacked against us. But we decided to give it the ole college try.

    Well, my DH's brother is a son of sons of sons--how far back, I don't know, actually--but he had two girls. First girls in generations! So it can happen...

    Best wishes! smile

    That hurts!

    Finished our final round in January. The Golden Handcuffs don't come off for a few years.
