Sorry, Kev. Believe it or not, the RRs do monitor some of these RR web sites. (in annother terminal a coworker of mine was approached by a trainmaster asking if he was "so and so," that posted "such and such," on a web RR forum.) Kind of a bummer, but, it deters me from posting my entire name due to some of my negative posts.

Hi Kev - and being female, I too do not want to give my last name (it really belongs to my husband and he may not like me giving it out)

But every one knows, since I rant and rave all the time about Lincoln Nebraska (where's Nebraska?)

Work at University of Nebraska - Lincoln - Home of the Big Red Cornhuskers! Go Huskers!

And yes, I really, really do like trains!

Yep.. thats fine to the people who didn't wnat to pst their name.. it's just to show how much of a coward missouri is because he can't even post a first name!

Kev.

Thanks Tim and Ed.. and thatks Joe the pictures are really really really Great!

[Mookie]

he won't reply to my posts, either. I asked him if he was really going Sat nite and if he was really wearing a black hat with a feather. He won't talk to me. And you know me, I was really curious!

No, its the vision of me in crotchless tights, heck, that would scare even the dog. But I was looking forward to getting to wear a cape.

Sorry Kev, I prefer "Skeets". NOBODY knows me by that name; it was my grandmother's nickname because she reminded folks of that character in an ancient comic strip when she was a kid. I live in the Mid-Atlantic area, and I've worked for an old railroad for a lot longer than I thought I would when I started there.

I am not against unusual names for children, but names of products, adjectives and last names sound so stupid.

For ex. I know a couple who named their baby girl KEVIN ILAQUA!! What a stupid name, sounds like a last name. Other stupid names I came across are: Ed---Jenny James---Ron Keith

If you want to name a kid something unusual why not pick an older name out of circulation, or a foreign name that works, for example the Greek name Missouri means freedom, but it sounds much better and masculine in the Greek form of Missouri.

But KEVIN ILAQUA or Jennie James !!! Can anyone figure out that???!!

I am not against unusual names for children, but the names of states, adjectives and no last name sounds so stupid.

For example, I know a couple who named their pup, opps, I mean child, missouri, what a name, the only thing from missouri is queers and steers.
Of course, he tried to pass the geek name off as a greek name, and we all know what the greeks are really famous for. We all know about their "masculine traits"
I mean, I can see Jenny, Kevin, Ken and Ron, those are normal, human names, but missouri?
Maybe his parents should have named him Rhode Island.

David,
Now that I know what you do for a living, I would like to ask a question. I hand make writing instruments, fountain pens, rollerball and mechanical pencils. I need a small metal lathe to custom make bushings, from 3/4" down to 7mm. I am looking at a Unimat, one of the older ones. Size is about right, I will use it only for very small turnings, bushings and trim rings. Ever use one, 0or know of someone who did, and if so, what did you/they think about it?
Thanks,
Stay Frosty,
Ed

Well,James that might be true..I do know once a year they block off the main street through town and put on that silly Bratwurst Festival,even crown a Miss Bratwurst,have beer gardens,food stands,bands,parades,games and rides...For 3 days this town is a mess to try-no attempt to drive in..Now there is a company that makes bratwurst here and sells it to the local stores and drive throughs...The funny part is the majory of the folks that goes to the festival comes from miles away..Most locals would love to see that thing done away with or moved to the fairgrounds.
