DES, The name "stokpro" was given to me that way, but people always get it mixed up with "stockpro". I like the former. BTW, you have mail! | ||

Andrew, i've considered that but i don't think i'm good enough at anything for some company to hire me AND cough up 'relocation costs'... | ||

DES, That's why you have the hiring company pay your relocation expenses. A friend of mine relocated from Seattle to Portland, OR and the company gave him $12k for relocation costs. He didn't hire a mover, instead moved everything himself, and rented a U-Haul trailer. Total relocation costs... less than $200 and he pocketed the remainder. | ||

Andrew, you spelled 'stock' wrong in 'stokpro'.  On a serious note, i sent you a privte message, 6:58PM EST... i'm leaving the office now and won't have access to email until tomorrow; if, by tomorrow, you've not yet received it, please email me, [email protected] or [email protected] - either one will do. Thanks again... | ||

LOL... The words aren't so bad, but math and i had so much trouble getting along back in school, that if i really concentrated on my work to get it done, i'd get a headache... No joke... | ||

Andrew, i'm not limiting myself, i just can't afford a cross-country move... i've considered freelance writing, i just need to get off my lazy ass and send some submissions to some different publications... Was gonna do that with m story about my trip to California, but after submitting it to one publication, i want to wait to see if they publish it before i go sending it off to other magazines... No, i'm definitely the freak chatter who's definitely collecting business cards from Ferrari dealerships... The private message system here is a little squeemish - can you email at [email protected] or post yours and i'll send you one...? Either way is fine with me... Thanks... | ||

DES.....Now I know....Funnest is a word!!! I'll add that to my vocabulary. By the way, thanks for the vote of confidence for my spelling/grammar....just keep looking. Each letter I type gets me closer to a mess-up! I'm a math guy..... | ||

DES, PM me your address and I'll send a few cards out. You are still collecting them right or did I get you mixed up with another f-chatter? You're limiting your passion to just NY/NJ/PA? You wouldn't relocate to CA to work for Forza? How about doing some freelance writing? | ||

Fred... Main Entry: [3]fun Function: adjective Inflected Form(s): sometimes fun�ner sometimes fun�nest Date: circa 1846 1 : providing entertainment, amusement, or enjoyment <a > <a > 2 : full of fun <a > <have> However, as you stated, 'most fun' would also be correct... Lastly, i think you're a little too hard on yourself:
Not only was all your spelling correct in that post, but all your grammar was correct, as well... | ||

Andrew, you made my day!! Wow, this is a great relief for me! I can't spell at all. I think my grammar is even worse!! However, now I don't feel all alone! DES.....is 'funnest' a word???? Shouldn't it be "the most fun"? | ||

Andrew, thanks, what a compliment...! i've always been a fan reading/writing and would love to get into it... Insurance isn't exactly exciting, but it pays the bills; however, it's not paying the bills very well... As far as business cards from Ferrari of Seattle, well, i don't "need" them( ), but i would certainly want some, thanks... i don't suppose anyone has any idea if Forza or some other such publication has offices in the NY/NJ/PA areas...? i'm a lazy f_ck, though, i should just check it out myself... i think i'll look into that... Aside from my part time job at Human-I-Tees, i have no "real" experience... | ||

DES, You ought to get into writing/editing for $$$$. You're a natural. How about working for Forza or another auto magazine/journal? That would fulfill two passions in one. BTW, do you need business cards from Ferrari of Seattle? I'll send 'em if you do. | ||

i'm BIIIIG on spelling... Very anal about it... Always have been, always will be... Spelling and grammar... Got a part time job when i was in high school proof reading applications for t-shirts for Human-I-Tees... Not the funnest job, but it was cool... i wouldn't mind editing for a magazine or newspaper (if they let me have my own column on the side.. ) | ||

Rob, I'm definitely not one of your students. I'm a stickler for spelling for some reason. People always seem to get "loose" and "lose" mixed up. And there are plenty others, too. | ||
