Wink Looking forward to talking with you!!!!!

Hi,
I'm an Electrician by trade, but I love to write. I wrote a Children's book that got stolen, that's where I got my user name from. I researched law, and now I have a Petition to get rid of the 3-year Statute of Limitations. I don't think it's right that we can't sue people that steal our writings if we can't obtain an Attorney in three years time. We should get paid for our work!
I also like to grow things. I'm trying to start a Tree farm/Nursery. I've actually been able to grow Tulips from seed. I even have baby Pomegranates growing, and Apple trees, as well as other kinds of trees.
I'm working at restoring a 1973 Dodge Charger. My primer sparkles. It's going back to Silver, the original color. I may have to sell it. I hope not. It's fast! I've had it for 19 years.
I hope you all Welcome me to this Forum. None of my friends write, so they really don't understand it. They don't understand that it really is work.
It would be nice to have people to talk to about it, if I can stay on the Net long enough. I keep getting kicked off, mid-sentence.
Well I've made it this far, think I'll post.
p.a.

Hi there PA and welcome to the forums! That sounds terrible about your children's book, but good for you for learning about it so it doesn't happen again. Hope you enjoy the forums & find some useful advice.

Ooh, 1973 Dodge Charger huh? The old ones are so much better than the new... my dad used to own an old Challenger but sold it a long time ago and he's never forgiven himself! Don't sell it!

Or if you do, sell it to me... lol. Welcome again.

Hello there a.p. and welcome to the forums. Don't have green fingers, know nothing of electricity - but love to write! I'm also good in managing and organising.

Hi,
You all made me smile! It's nice to get greetings.
Titania - I hope that I can keep it. It's become part of the family now. I used to drive a friend's Challenger. The exhaust pipe would fall off all the time. It wasn't street legal, but red tape let me get away with driving it. It was loud and fast. The police used to wait for me to come home at night, just hoping the pipe was off so that they could bust me. Those were the days!!!

Electricity is cool! I really love doing it, but too many idiots are involved with it. I once had a General Contractor that was in such a hurry to get power that he was turning the Panels on while I was working on them. Almost fried me! Remember, even if the power is off consider it live. Lots of caution needed there. Don't ever use the little lightbulb type testers, they blow. I was electrocuted a long time ago by one. Construction is dangerous, fun, but dangerous!

Nickie - That's my daughter's name.
Organizing? What's organizing? I have a cluttered desk, cluttered life, and a cluttered mind.
It's too bad you can't climb through my Computor and organize things for me. I'm usually too busy to do it. Do my laundry for me ... Please!!!!
Have a great day, and thanks again for posting. It's nice to know I'm not alone! p.a.

Talking Thank you for the input.

Hi,

It's nice to get other greetings. I'm pretty bad at going back to the Introduction room. There are so many people entering each day and I actually get overwhelmed.
I'm a multi-tasker. I'm uploading Documents on another page as I write this, need to check on it.
I actually have a Copyright Petition that I wrote, at ipetitions.com
It's not going well at all. Oh well...
Thanks again, and have a great day!
