I forget who said it initially, but I've read here, more than once, that "experience is expensive."

I'm glad mine wasn't horribly so.

Have fun,
Leif

Yeah, experience costs, but as you point out, not always a lot of money.

My favourite comment along these lines is:-

all education costs money.

That is one of the truest statements I've ever read. I kind of want to send it to some of my old economics professors.

Thanks,

I misplaced the decimal point on an ebay tulwar bid .. once!
Of course I won the item but the price.

No Alan, he learned to type really well.

A. G. Maisey · 2nd August 2016, 11:19 PM

Yes David, I'm sure he did learn to type really well, in addition to learning to type real good.

I guess this is me in my redneck personna.
