    Bill

    That's almost as bad as "do you want me to beat you now, or later".

    When I was especially bad, my Mom would say "just wait till your Dad gets home" cruelllllll.

    Dolly Parton supposedly said something like

    "No, I don't mind jokes about blondes. This is because I know that I'm not blond."

    This quote sums-up the human condition doesn't it? And thank

    you.
    The flip side of another coin is:
    "The enemy of my enemy is my friend..."
    I guess the "friend of my friend is my friend" is what we call "networking".

    theory and practice

    Theory is when you understand how things should work, but nothing does.

    Practice is when things work, but you don't know exactly why.

    Around here we combine theory with practice, nothing works and nobody knows why.

    And he would have known the truth in this.

    A new motto to live by:

    INSTAURARE OMNIA IN VAPORE

    I thought this one up, it's Latin, it's more authoritative that way... It stands for: Bring the World to Steam (heat). He he he. I am thinking of having it embossed everywhere. Can't be too serious with this stuff, no?

    some translations lose the touch, but this one I was always told

    ..."If better is possible, good is not enough"

    or another one I like:

    "You may not always get what you pay for, but you will never get what you didn't pay for"

    on growing up..

    Everybody's talking about their dads, so I thought I'd throw this one in. No idea who said it.

    "When I was 18, my dad was a moron. When I was 25, he was a very wise man. I can't believe how much he learned in those 7 years."

    Mantle script

    This one's on the face of the granite mantle built into the large cetral stone fireplace in a super-cottage with almost 150 windows, 2 separate buildings connected only by a mechanical chase and a design reminiscent of the beaches of the Bahamas. We are installing the comfort system:
