You could just say Manbeef... ;)

HI GUYS

HEY FABS, I AGREE ON THE BIG WORDS. I ALWAYS KEEP A POCKET DICTIONARY AT THE KEY BOARD, BECAUSE THERE IS NO SPELL CHECK WHEN POSTING. HOWEVER ROCKY HAS CAUSED ME TO GO TO PLAN B AND USE THE WEBSTERS NEW COLLEGIATE DICTIONARY.:eek:

MY FAMILY IMMIGRATED TO THIS COUNTRY AND IT WAS ALWAYS STRESSED TO SPEAK PROPER ENGLISH AT ALL TIMES AND TO BE EDUCATED IN ALL LIFES FACETS. BOY HOW OUT OF TOUCH WERE THOSE FOLKS? NOWADAYS THEY WOULD BE PRESSURED BY THE SOCIAL ENGINEERS TO HAVE ME EDUCATED IN GERMAN, POLISH, AND YIDDISH LANGUAGES.

HEY SKINNY, I HAD TO LOOK IT UP TO. LOL

I THINK PATIENT WOULD DESCRIBE ME BETTER. IF SOMEONE REALLY OFFENDS ME THERE IS GOING TO BE TROUBLE. ALTHOUGH AFTER 27 YEARS IN THE MILITARY I DON'T OFFEND EASILY. CALL ME ANYTHING AND IT WILL LIKELY BOUNCE OFF LIKE WATER OFF A DUCKS BACK, JUST DON'T CALL ME TO CHOW. HOWEVER IF CORNERED, I CAN CUT TO THE BONE.

THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT, I APPRECIATE IT. I DON'T POST FACTS THAT ARE NOT AND IF I DON'T KNOW ABOUT A SUBJECT TOTALLY I WILL RESEARCH IT.


AGAIN, THANKS.

Billy
 

Just what I expected from a 462;)

ManBeef? did someone say ManBeef?

It's a lawyer word, Fabs...has "sue" right at the center of it! LOL!

I pronounce it: man SU eh tood

Billy, I use the Webster's Universal Unabridged, about five inches thick and with small print. In my readings, I've come across words that aren't in it, too!

The board is good for another laugh, and I need it right now because I am working on a pro bono case where my client's vehicle was repossessed. Looks like he is up a creek.

FABS

OK, I'M EASY SO I'LL ASK THE QUESTION.

SO WHAT YOUR CLIENT DOING IN A CREEK WITH HIS CAR ALREADY? :D

Billy,

My client's car isn't in the creek. My client is literally up a creek without a paddle. I could have used some different wording, but this is a family site.

Lesson to everybody, pay your bills on time, even if one of your friends knows the name of an attorney.

HE. HE. HE. I WAS JUST BEING A SMARTALECK. I KNEW PERFECTLY WELL WHAT YOU MEANT. I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF I COULD RATTLE YOUR SLATS.

MY MIDDLE DAUGHTER HAD THE INNATE APPITUDE OF TAKING A SENTENCE AND TOTALY WARPING IT AND SETTING IT BACK IN YOUR LAP. SHE SHOULD HAVE STUDIED LAW, BUT SHE IS AN ACCOUNTANT. FACT IS SHE IS A FINANCE OFFICER AT ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND.

WHEN YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF KIDS THERE IS ALWAYS ONE IN THE GROUP KNOWN AS "THE INFORMER". SHE WAS IT. I'M SURPRISED SHE WAS ABLE TO GROW TO ADULTHOOD.

HAVE A GOOD ONE BUD.

Billy,

I am an accountant/CPA too. That was my undergrag degree. Accounting is a lot less fun than law.

When you mention Aberdeen Proving Ground, are you talking about the one in northern Maryland? I have a couple of buddies that work there as engineers and I am pretty familiar with it.

FABS

YES, ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND MARYLAND. HER HOME IS IN HAVRE DE GRACE. THEY JUST MOVED THERE LAST YEAR FROM ALASKA. SHE WORKED AT ELMENDORF IN ANCHORAGE FOR ALMOST 12 YEARS. SHE IS A GS-13. MOMMA BIG BUCKS.

SHE STARTED OUT AS ENLISTED IN THE ARMY THEN WENT TO OFFICER RANKS AND GOT TIRED OF THE BS, APPLIED FOR THE CIVILIAN JOB AT ELMENDORF AND GOT IT. ALMOST THE SAME JOB SHE HAD IN THE MILITARY. ONE CHANGE, MORE MONEY.

I'M REALLY PROUD OF HER. SHE HAD A LOT TO OVERCOME AS A KID AFTER HER MOTHER PASSED AWAY. HER BIGGEST OBSTACLE WAS ME. I WAS KIND OF A GRINCH AFTER MY WIFE DIED. I NOT ONLY LOST MY WIFE, I LOST THE MOTHER OF MY CHILDREN, MY MISTRESS, MY HUNTIN' AND FISHING BUDDY, BUT MOST OF ALL MY BEST FRIEND. SHE KNEW ALL ABOUT ME AND STILL LOVED ME ANYWAY. I STILL MISS HER.

THE DAUGHTER IS A PEACH, EVEN THOUGH WE HAD SOME DISAGREEMENTS DURING HER TEEN YEARS, FACT IS ALL 5 KIDS TURNED OUT GREAT. THEY WERE ALL MORE DEPENDENT ON THEIR MOM THAN ME. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT BECAUSE DURING MOST OF THEIR FORMATIVE YEARS I WAS PLAYING WAR OR ON TEMPORARY DUTY SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN HOME.

ANYWAY IF YOU ARE EVER UP AT ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND STOP IN AND SAY HOWDY TO MY KID. I SAY MY KID BECAUSE I BROUGHT HER INTO THIS WORLD, A MEDIC AND I. BUT THATS A WHOLE NUTHER STORY. HER NAME IS KATRINA MILLER AND SHE WORKS IN THE CIVILIAN PERSONNEL OFFICE. SHE'S DONE WELL FOR A NORTH DAKOTA GIRL.

WELL GOTTA GIT. HAVEN'T EATEN SUPPER YET AND I'M HUNGRY.

HAVE A GOOD ONE.

What a small world. My buddy lives in Havre de Grace right next to the base and has lived there and worked on the base for the past 8+ years. Another friend and I are going up there some time soon to get together because we have all been too busy over the past year to get together.

I'll make sure I mention your daughter's name to my buddy.

My apologies. Didn't mean to offend. You're right, I didn't read far enough!:o
