Posting here finally

[Red Barchetta]

I know I probibly should have made a post here first, but I did not, I have already asked, and got answers to a few questions.

But I am here now, AND just so there is no problem later I'll tell you right now, while my understaning of words is great (I know the meaning of a lot of words that most poeple do not use, at least not on a regular basis) my spelling stinks - badly!

That is why I prefer to use some sort of spell checker BEFORE I post, but I also test things a lot (by disconnecting my main HD compleatly, and using one I have specifically for testing things - it has NO spelling tester on it (and I am online with it right now [the test HD]),

What do I do for a living? - Pretty much whatever I can to make money... - Allow me to elaberate a bit - my TRUE perfission (went to school for it) is computer operations (but that delt with "main-frames" and no one uses them anymore), and currently I freelance for computer repair/upgrades - somtimes, even basically re-building the system (I have done exactly this a few times with my computer - but I recently had one where the guy wanted to keep all his HD's memory, exc., even the case - just change the system board, and processor - I managed to do it, but it took more that he really wanted [i warned him about that posibility to start with] - I was able to use all his old drives, and his case, BUT to make the system board he wanted work, I hand to change the Power Supply as well, and the memory has had would not work on his new system board [old = SDRAM new = DDR-RAM], but I contacted him each step of the way, and he agreed to everything - I still have it at my house, but all the work is paid for, just waiting for him to pick it up basically)

But the "real" money I make is in real-estate. I like to buy houses that have either been forclosed on, or the owner is auctioning off - usually this type of property needs some repair (but I got real lucky a few times and got them good "as is") but usually the repairs are not too bad - you have to watch the area though - I recently could have gotten one for so cheap, I would have felt like I stole it, BUT it was in a town called "Baltimore City" in the state of "Maryland" (USA), and that after looking it up, is a "High-Crime area" - Violat Crimes (against people) is at 63% and crimes against property are at 75% in that area, so I just let it go, maybe one day I'll be willing to deal with property like that, but not today!

Anyway, I also clean cars - but NOT like a "Car Wash" would. I actually take the time to vacume everything (including the seats) and not just clean it, but also armer-all the whole works, plus rain-X all the glass and even clean "under the hood".

I have a lot of knowlage of electricity to, I actually re-wired the house I live in now, after rodents destroyed all the electrical wiring.

Why don't I have an actual "JOB" with all this knowlage of verious things? - Well, for starters (most valid to me) I have tried, and every potential employer seems to want a "Drug-Test" - something I object to not because I have anything to hid, but because that sound too much like you are accusing me of something before you even know me that well, and besides, I really feel that (while I do not condone the activity) it's none of an employers business what you do when you are "off duty", AND EVEN IF a drug test showed positive, that only proves you used something, not when - and even that fact can be disputed (Some people have shown positive for narcottics after eating something containing poppy seeds)

I just don't want the hastle, and besides, I really think I make more the way I am going., and I still have my privatecy for the most part.
