[jspryor]

I went to school to become an accountant...now I manage software design and QA for a healthcare benefits company.

On that note...pay attention to the current healthcare reform debate/mandate. You don't want to pay taxes on your health benefits...do you?

Cheers folks!

Why did you not take the course that is really for healthcare.,?

What a diverse group this is. After reading 46 pages, it's really something. After retiring from the military back in '87, found out that military retirement didn't pay the bills with a daughter going into High School and a son going into Junior High School. Became a Inside Wireman (Licensed Electrician) LU# 191, pretty much specializing in Oil Refineries up here in the Pacific Northwest. Looking REAL hard at retiring this coming spring. Been messing around with Q'ing over the past 8-10 years but now, I hope to buckle down and become a "good" Q'er.

A personal salute to all LEO's, past and present, All Firefighters, past and present and to all military, past and present who are ready to lay down their lives for the rest of us. There is no greater sacrifice.
