Paid work Huh? Well as a boy I worked the hay fields and a lot of other farm related work. I spent 20 years in the United States Navy serving aboard Nuclear Powered Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarines as an electronics technician specializing in computer electronics and navigation systems. After that I became a contract programmer and worked as a consultant for about 11 years and of late have been dabbling in website design although not real versed at that yet. Essentialy I am retired even though I am only 54. I will still take on work though if the price is right and I know the language.

How many siblings do you have?

my answer: 2 sisters. One 5 years older than me and one 5 years younger than me.

So many possible memories! - The one that I go back to is the sense of completeness while riding with a good friend on a small Greek island along the top of a ridge among the pine trees, with a blue sky and blue sea, and a small bird singing.

Question - preferred music?

my answer - eclectic - apart from heavy metal which gives me a headache.

I'm a 80's person- Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, Bangles, etc etc. Pink floyd, 3 Doors Down, U2, Inxs.

But do love soft music. Enigma, Enya etc.

I listen to classical and whale/dolphins and waterfalls/rain etc. while working. Tell you what, anyone in trouble with peeing- try that. waterfalls and rain pitter patting. (not good for facials aor massage Razz )

Question : Faviorite food?

Me - Anything i don't have to cook. Razz I like Chinease (aussie, not traditional) Thai, and good old Aussie BBQ (Barbaque- outside grill)

No raw food- fish meat etc. YUK!

Answer: Can't remember hehehe... but it probably did have something to do with forgetting something. I am usually pretty hard to embarrass Very Happy

Another one (there are quite a few) Had quite a rude customer on phone and I thought I had put them on hold (but hadn't) and then proceeded to tell workmate a few (not so nice) things about them - funnily enough they stayed as a customer..... Embarassed Jen....

OK, men (husbands), I am about to violate a sacred trust that I am sure has been around since Adam.

One day, while I was still married, I decided to wash the dishes. It was not that difficult of a task but one that I really did not like doing. It just involved loading the dishwasher and filling the holder with soap. I did that and turned on the washer. In a few minutes, suds started rolling out of every side of the washer. I rushed over and turned the dishwasher off, but the suds kept coming. At about that time, me wife walked in and with a scream, ordered me out of her kitchen. I used dishwashing liquid and not dishwasher liquid Very Happy. The secret is, if you do not want to do something ever again, make a real big mess of the task and your wife will never ask you to do it again Wink. Just once wash your white underwear with her red dress. I am sure you will be banned from the laundry room as well Smile.

I am sure that one day Adam was working in the garden pulling weeds. But instead of pulling the weeds, he pulled out the newly sprouting carrots. Eve came out and saw what he was doing and said: "Adam, why don't you take the boys fishing and let me do the gardening?" Very Happy

You wives only thought we did not know what we were doing. We knew exactly what we were doing all along Razz

We are not that silly- i knew that trick from the little brother. He would do something really bad, and mum would ask me to do it again, right. He would grin and walk off.

SO- for all those women, wifes, out there. Say this " I will show you the right way, and if you don't do it right, then you'll do it over and over, till it's right" Laughing

Garentee it will be done- how come you have to treat adult men like children sometimes??? Wink

Q : Anyone been to a psychic? Palm Reader? Tarrot?

A: We, Were I live, small country town, were very lucky to have one of Australians top Psychics. She has read for Princess Di and many other Famous people- also the top gossip mags in Australia. (she was a real down to earth person, and freakly right. I saw her 3 times. And she had prodicted everything right. SO you ask why I still had the Car accident after the last time i saw her- well, she said "a very close 'friend' who had bottle blonde hair whould have a car accident- will be seriously hurt, but ok. And she would have permant problems, but still live a full life. "

I had brown hair, and was never a blonde- 5 months after seeing her, i dyed it blonde, for my Brothers wedding- BAM, Car accident. Shocked
