as for your questions: ive worked for family run business (about 40 employess last job, altho we were a vendor for Quebecor-along w/2000 other companies worldwide  ) we did a lot of big manufacturing jobs, like 5 million food stamp runs for LA County, haha. my new company is half that size and does smaller, more local, but high quality, high paying jobs. stuff like brochures for art gallery exhibitions and rule books for golf clubs. we dont have a perfect binder, and we print on labels but dont manufacture them. very funny about never wanting to tell anyone you are a "stripper", its almost impossible to describe to the layman. i always told everyone i was a "pressman" even tho i never ran a press, haha. another funny thing is the old adage that everyone in printing is either "a jesus freak or alcoholic" (nice stroy about the bar, btw  ) even funnier is that one of my buddies ive known for years from the ALL messsage board (he works in Atlanta for some major, cant remember who), was in pre-press but now is in bindery, haha, honest. i almost thought he was a lost twin, he even has the same name as me, haha. january will be 10 years of printing for me, its not a bad racket, i guess, but damn, you have to wait til someone dies around here before you can get a pre-press job. oops, did i say that?

Let's see, what's the order of this thing:Name: Lee Occupation: Future role model for the youth of America Origins: Scot-Irish mainly. I really don't care about the other side of my ancestry as the Scots were far more entertaining. It also makes good conversation to mention my Great-great Uncle who was the first man to sign South Carolina's secession from the United States back in 1861. Location: Georgia, yeah, you know where we've got that very peculiar flag..... Status: Hey Almathea, what'cha doing Friday night baby???? Interests: Collecting Ray Coniff memorialbilia(Ray, we shall never forget you),
CONIFF Watching(while drinking)the movie Grey Eagle
[The thrilling story of a frontiersman's search for his kidnapped daughter in Montana in the 1840's, and yeah, the damn Injuns were to blame. I recommend this viewing experience to anyone in need of laughing till the choke and throwing up on their sofa.] Bragging about how I'm on a diet and working out when I'm really doing neither.

Well met Floydian!Actually we met awhile back on the now-defunct Maiden GC board. Back when it was fun. I haven't been posting on the Brotherhood board much. Guess I gotta get crackin' and my post count up so I can see the "hidden" boards,eh? You still chat with any of the old GC folks?
I haven't been posting there too. I started to find it boring and stopped. I haven't chatted with the GC folks either. This board seems much more interesting (although I guess I'll have to get used to the slower rate of posting here ) quote:

Well hey there Floydian! I'm actually glad you resurrected this topic. Good to see someone else who likes Jefferson Airplane around here!
Thanks. Crown of creation, After bathing at baxters, Volunteers and Surrealistic Pillow are true classics. Also Bless its pointed little head is in my top 5 live albums of all time (and I think has the finest bass playing ever...love Jack Cassady's tone and loose, carefree playing). They also put out that superb Blows against the empire under Paul Kantner's name. Well after that, except for a few moments, they don't really do justice to their original golden age, don't they?

At the other side, I hate rastamusic and so called R&B(what is a huge insult for the real meaning of the abbreviation) other hobby's: traveling the globe like every year a big journey. I like Latin America the most, I really love it. Mexico(south) and Costa Rica are favorite. I read lot of books about old civilizations like the Aztecs, Mayas and Incas and their buildings. Want to visit every continent before I'm 40. I do South America next year and Oceania maybe the year after and then I have them all Other hobby is my marinetank, but only with, in marinetanks breeded fishes and corals. Then there is my hobbycar, a Lancia Delta HF Integrale. It's a real ralleycar what won 10 ralley worldchampionships. Do the most work on the car myself. sports: I play league soccer, but not on a very high level I'm also play indoorsoccer and squash once a week. Squash is realy good to spit out my anger On TV I only watch Formula1 and WRC, sometimes soccer, but that is no must. Sometimes I go with some friends to Austria for whitewaterrafting and canyoning, but that are no sports for every week...... profession: I work at a German forwardingcompany as manager of the customsoffice. I'm surrounded by woman  I'm sure I did forget a lot of things, but nobody is perfect Grtzzz, DBC
