My English may not be the best, I think I rewrote this from my intro thread at H. H.

Oh My God! That was awesome! That would make a great movie.

Thank you, we are still married.
No, there is a lot neither of us can talk about here, my husband more than me, he will get visits from the Farm to help train or brief an individual on tactics no longer taught.

Bonus fact.  Former EG border guards have NO regrets regarding their own citizens they shot for attempting to escape the GDR.

If you ever meet someone famous...always treat them like a normal Joe. I swear this will get you places and they will like you. My insider tip for the thread...

Can't wait for live concerts to come back. And about treating famous folks as normal, I always do. I have met a few in my time. They are mostly like me and you, just performers.

They are just like us...only rich with people either wanting something or treating them all weird because of who they are. I would get tired of that pretty quick and just want some normal interaction. Which I think is why all my encounters have been great...half of the time I didn't even know it was someone famous in the first place cause I never cared enough to memorize their faces lol!

Is it true you've stopped shooting at the poor man...? I mean, what happens when he brings you a birthday card?
Is it a mere stabbing or a blow to the head, these days? Just askin'.

Just a quickie about my hairy hide :

Brit in France for the past 30 years and originally from Yorkshire.

What is a Yorkshire man you ask? :




And not forgetting Yorkshire airlines :




May the Yorkshire pudding be with you... :



Ex military (HM forces) and also a background in veterinary sciences and biomedical research.

After many years of practicing within a group of friends and family members, taking many courses and finally obtaining my diploma as a master hypnotherapist in Ericksonien hypnose, I took the plunge last year and opened up my own cabinet specialising in hypnotherapy over here in France.

I am also initiated in level 3 Reiki Ushui at the master level and practice whenever I can.

Hobbies :
  • I don't dig holes in the Nevada desert
  • I don't have a collection of rsusty spades, ball hammers and pig masks
  • I don't own a white van with "Free Candy" painted on the outside
I do however partake when I find the time in metal detecting and sofa testing.

Kindest respects

I love heavy metal, rock,  and blues music.

I took early retirement due to a disability, so now I sit on my ass, collect my pension and disability check, and play on the computer most of the time. tinylaughing

Well, actually, I don't consider it "playing". I'm a digital soldier with the Q army, fighting to spread the truth to the world.
I consider what I'm doing to be an important cause. 

We all need to feel that we offer something important to avoid feeling useless; I found mine.

I know who you are. ;)

I wish I knew a well respected hypnotist in my area.  I'd like to find one to take me back to my past lives so I could figure out what I did to deserve this current life.   tinysurprised

I've only found one within a 75 mile radius that did that type of thing.
He used a different method than hypnotherapy though. He went into a trance and allowed his spirit guide to communicate with mine.
Although he did tell me some things that made sense, I would rather have the memories myself, not have someone else tell me.
I would also like to go back and get a clearer memory of some of the crazy things that happened to me involving seeing UFOs. 
Do I dare go there? tinysurprised

I'm a spring maker.  We make all types of springs, the ones that pull boxes forward on the shelves in stores, medical and surgical springs, and springs that make up the assembly that separates the initial booster from tomahawk missiles launched from submarines.

I enjoy working with my hands, there's a sense of pride that comes with setting up and running machines.

I've never really been able to figure out what I truly wanted to do as a career.  I've devoted countless hours to it, nothing seems to stick out though.  Anybody else ever have that problem?

Yeah, at the end of high school, I had no idea of what to do in terms of a trade or a profession.  I sort of stumbled into what I did for a career.  Later on I discovered some things that fascinated me and that I may have enjoyed doing as a job, but it was too late.

High school "counselors" were no help.  All of the possible jobs "out there" just seemed so abstract when I was a HS student.  Not a good feeling.

Agreed, school counselors were no help to me either.  I think schools should be dedicating more time to life as an adult, career goals and life management and things like that.  Parents should have a heavy hand in that, but some are better than others.

I would have benefited way more from a course like that than learning about Shakespeare and Beowulf.  I love reading, but really it's a hobby, not a translatable life skill.

Few of the things that I aimed for in life played out the way I had hope they would. I was just lucky that the things I found myself falling into, turned out as well as they did.

@"Schmoe1" 

I would have benefited from shop classes and the like, but in my school they were the dumping ground for trouble-makers.

I am damned lucky I grew up in the American system and had the chance to re-do some things.  In a school system like Germany's, I would have been consigned to low paying grunt labor jobs.

ETA: And I wasn't a particularly strongly built young man.  Took a while to sort where the strengths and weaknesses were.

I kinda lucked into my gig. A buddy was too hungover to go tear down a concert and he asked me to fill in. Little did I know just going and filling out the paperwork would get me called in for another show. Little did I know I'd end up being the one calling in...to my own job. Eventually I quit doing cable and satellite work to be a fulltime stagehand. Something about the way the crowd reacted to the work we do just really made me happy.

My wife hates it as she isn't sure what she wants to do either...well career wise. I find a lot of people stumble into it.

Cool stuff Gordi,I did apprentice work at a sign shop , it's definitely an art and it greatly appealed to my artist side. You spend hours designing and doing the cut out work you had better get the mounting right LOL.

I was/am? a sales rep/marketing self-employed commissioned wholesale rep for bridal, social occasion and formal dresses have been for years, decades actually since the late 80's except when occasionally Id go and do something else for a year or two. Now?? who knows the business has been obliterated,  Proms canceled weddings canceled or postponed our stores are going out of business left and right manufacturers are too, 3 of my companies I repped in February were OOB by June. Our June Trade market was sloooooow but it always was. August will be the key, we did 2/3rds of our yearly business during the 7-day market, if it falters we are in trouble.  What are you gonna do? I know we aren't alone.
