P.S.: You know on the whole marriage thing, I was completely joking, right? (As you were jokng on your faux marriage announcement.) Perhaps I'm guilty of not using enough smilies.
I gotta say an uneducated (no postsecondary education) male can make a real comfortable life in the trades industry, on the other hand an uneducated female has it real tough. and for a female to break into the trades industry... *fugged aboud it* (forget about it)
Next time, more doody, more tinkle, and a whole lot more manchang.
