    - Oh geez, this is the kind of job I had at three different practices. The big plus, you get to work alone instead of having to deal with the kind of - Trish Jan 29, 18:54

        You brought the "off topic" with you. Also, I don't mind off topic stuff, as usual you're confused. I just hate stupid stuff at which you excel. - Trish Jan 29, 18:44 3
