                Unlike yourself I did not and never will spend my life being ruled.....

                I am amazed you are proud of being ruled........

                Only had a clock in job once in my life......They failed to make me do that.....

                  I'm 76and I have a cell phone which spends 97% of the time on the counter,and I only use it when I go out.I don't waste my time being engaged in useless conversation.They are a very useful tool if used properly.On the other hand I love the internet.It has opened up a whole world of information to me,and is a godsend for these long cold winter days.

                            Thanks for admitting you love to be ruled.....you would never have survived had you tried to actually EARN a living........

                            ''Mammy Navy '' looked after baby DAMNTHEWEATHER.......Baby DAMNTHEWEATHER was not allowed to make his own decisions.......

                            PS...Gloves were available when handling wire ropes.....

                            Not a lot of sailors seem to know that....
                            Here Rex!!!...Here Rex!!!.....Wuff!!!....... Wuff!!!
