  1. Now I know why you are the way you are.
    They call it Wisdom.

    Do you know the difference between Knowledge and Wisdom?


    Knowledge is knowing what to do.
    You learn from school and books and you have Knowledge.

    Wisdom is knowing what not to do with the Knowledge.
    You learn (from the school of hard knocks) that certain things you are taught in school do not apply in real life. Therefore you have Wisdom.

  2. Have you ever seen low voltage lighting in someones yard?
    They run over 100 feet and they do not use regulators at each junction.
    They use a large wire. You could ground the negitive to the tower and run one wire up to the lights.

    The views of these figures are all from the outside (the backs of the computers) into the sockets,
    i.e. they show the wiring sides of the plugs.

    I wish there was a way that moderators could vote off members or Ban members from their board. This person just keeps logging in on different names when one is deleted. If we could find the IP Address and lock it out from the website that would be a dream come true.
    I got 6 messages in one day for spam and the common thing was (show)
    Well show me a way to fight this problem.
    I also see that our members list has more 0 posters than people that post.
    I wonder if some of those are spammers as well.
