Re: Want to get organized in a hurry?

So why is it that, if I'm not careful when I get up from the chair in which I'm sitting (in my home office), I'll break my neck on some of the junk surrounding me???

Re: On Being A Tour Guide

Go for it, Dash.

Thank you, Raggs! It's a great way to learn -- trial by fire. When you have to field all sorts of questions you begin to get more confidence.

Re: Woohoo
