Unusually confusing non-sequitur bookmark.
Uh, I retract my earlier warning. Take 8.
"Your" kinda illiterate, and possibly insane, so nod off quietly, ok? Adults are conversing.
Don’t ask me why I’m getting involved, other than I’m confused!? But for clarification fatima; does Monckton believe the Blessed Mother is an alien?
Hehehehhe Hello ,Did he say no.He said I was on drugs.Ask him.
Color me confused, as well. Methinks Fatima has Lord Monckton confused with someone else. He is a Catholic, for gawd sake. He was a SCIENCE advisor to Lady Thatcher as PM. Not relly likely he would hold such a belief as Fatima has put forth, but I’d be interested in some source for the claim.
Claim for what?

I officially and wholeheartedly invite the U.N. organizers to stage their next climate event in Texas. Just think of the fun we will have.
A few weeks ago, at a major conference in New York, I spoke about this tendency towards tyranny with Dr. Vaclav Klaus, the distinguished economist and doughty fighter for freedom and democracy who is President of the Czech Republic. ... Unfortunately, he refused to come to Copenhagen, telling me that there was no point, now that the lunatics were firmly in control of the asylum. However, I asked him whether the draft Copenhagen Treatys proposal for what amounted to a communistic world government reminded him of the Communism under which he and his country had suffered for so long. He thought for a moment ... and said, Maybe it is not brutal. But in all other respects, what it proposes is far too close to Communism for comfort. Today, ... I wondered whether the brutality of the New World Order was moving closer than President Klaus or any of us had realized.
New World Order again. That phrase seems to keep popping up.
If it takes evacuating DC to allow the nation to once again Breathe Freedom lets Get It On!
There are NO Solutions found in DC, ONLY BIGGER PROBLEMS!

LMAO
You are right it would be “fun” to see the try to sell that snake oil in the Lone Star State.
I do not think they would even “consider” attempting that. Even the Left knows better than that.
BWAAAAHHHH!
That sounds like it requires extensive and intense “product knowledge”. No doubt you were good in outside sales and management if you can create catalogues and promos.
I’m a numbers person. I’ll just keep the books for various companies that I have built a relationship with thru the years.
I sure hope I won’t need Quark!! That maybe above my paygrade, lol.
Quark is the easy part of the task. The real heavy lifting is getting the data string in shape to import. Once it is organized I can import 500 pages of data in less than 3 minutes. Then takes a while to clean up the columns and tabs that the extrusion process does not place properly.
The data stream is a total IT hack. The repeat process, is my own design. Once I have done a catalog section or promotion, I have developed a method to extract the item sequence from the .pdf document. Using PDFTK and Grep. Then through a database. Works great, use same process to extract page numbers for the items in the section. Requires a little preconditioning of the .pdf to take care of the repeating “1’s” in the document. (proportional spacing issue)
Anyway, it take some time.
This sounds to me like you are a programmer, as well as salesman and manager.
Very well rounded and intelligent.
Me...I’m just using canned packaging. And hoping for the best!!
No, not a programmer. Did a little year ago before PC’s developed (in Basic). Built my first PC in 1982 from junk.
Have been Ham Operator since 1976. Did a lot of home brew construction in the beginning. Ran around with several engineers who worked at the Labs (when I was living in NM).
Miss that a bit.
When I moved back to TX in 1986 there were not that many technical Hams.
I ran a Navy MARS station out of my home for over 19 years. love the Military personnel.
In 1988 I moved to near Oklahoma City and there were some good tech’s there, but I was gone a lot. We had a very active group though.
Moved back to TX about 12-13 years ago, and am away from the good techs again.
Have taught electronics (RF) at an AFB near here a couple of times. Summer short courses for GROL license exam. I have a Commercial license also.
But I spend most of my time Entering or Extracting Data from our AS400 IBM and composing it on my PC. Have several Linux boxes I use at times also, when I find something I need done that is not possible on the PC. Less of that now, some of the good Open Source Apps have been ported for Windows now.
If I could find an Open Source replacement for my CAD program and a scriptable Publishing Program I would not use Windows at all. Really like Linux. Have run it for over 10 years. Very fast and Stable OS.
Enough of that rambling, we have a political battle to fight, am sure my war stories are boring.
Have a good evening.
