""Oh my God, is that a skin graft? TAKE ME." How 'bout 15% third degree burns? Are you all hot and bothered yet?...... But it is only skin deep after all

Mebbe they just don't dig MYscars, or is it me? "Dear Dr Ruth , I have many scars but no hotties chase me. What am I doing wrong?" Seriously, my g/f stuck by me throough the 2 1/2 years it took my femur to heal (complications, long story), And also stuck by me through other non-associated trauma. I don't need any steenkin' scar hounds. Cya D It aint what you fly, its how you fly it!

Yup, I broke the shaft and the neck of my femur. I've got a femural nail, complete with 5 screws, 2 at the knee three at the hip, all still in place. One screw worked loose and needed replacing a couple of months after installation. The sawbones did it under a local (still under warranty ) which was a real weird sensation. Apart from that, they are no problem, almost 6 years now. No, they don't set off airport metal detectors etc. Big tip #1 Do the physio. Big tip #2 You have the rest of your life to rejoin the sport, don't rush it. Big tip #3, Don't turn low. Chicks don't dig scars as much as you think . Speedy recovery Wildblue....

Outside of crazy crew activities (one real gnarly instance I know of at Deland, but thats another story), I've never heard of this. Thought provokin though:- Its the million to one shot that shows up 9 times out of 10.......Although I guess its been thought about by much wiser folk than I.....

Yeah thats how its pronounced, they are 'big', ie Global in the oil business. People I know have worked all over the world with them, but they are field engineers. Sounds like you would have a sweet job as a desk pilot. Only joking 'bout the speling , I hope it pans out for you. Cya, D It aint what you fly, its how you fly it!

"slumberjay" They probably won't give you a job if you kant spel thair naym rite! That would be Schlumberger, I take it, their downhole completions centre is litterally next door to Spacedland. Good luck, I know a few people who work for them. Cya D It aint what you fly, its how you fly it!

I think the term 'Gutter Press' was invented for Sun reporters. Whassa a guy from Illinois looking at the Sun's web site for anyway??

Geothermal is gonna get bigger IMHO, drill a deep hole, pump water down, get steam back up. Again IMHO the only way the US is gonna cut its hydrocarbon consumption is to tax the hell out of gasoline, not popular, but prevalent in Europe where gas (we call it petrol) is about 4 times as expensive as it is in the US. But hey, you guys keep on driving your gas guzzlers, you are keeping me in a job (I design production platforms mainly), and I for one appreciate that!
