I skipped over the part where you were willing to PAY for a solution! Oh well, maybe our efforts can contribute to the overall knowledge base of the group. I just want to make this a better world. In that regard, I just started a new police story book. In the first five pages, I've added the following to my language style: * Giving us the stink eye. * Flashlight therapy * They gonna be drawin' you in chalk on the sidewalk * 'Roided up primate * Hold a grudge longer than my ex-wife * The medicine man's gonna be waving chicken claws over your ashes * You're circling the drain By the time I finish the book, I'll be erudite for sure.

Well, I already have a solution; I would pay for anything that helps me implement it quicker or contributes towards it. Jerry, I absolutely promise you if we use any part of what you posted and make profit from it, you will be contacted and I'll work out something with you, just as I would for anyone else. I don't expect people to make money for me, I don't steal ideas, and I am more than happy to share the results of joint effort. Just being able to discuss options is actually helpful, but that is no more than I would do for others... :-) > > Oh well, maybe our efforts can contribute to the overall knowledge > base of the group. I just want to make this a better world. Speaking for myself, I can say your posts here over years have already done that... :-) > > In that regard, I just started a new police story book.

It seems the criminals are not excluded from this :-) (I especially loved number 4... but all of them made me smile.) > By the time I finish the book, I'll be erudite for sure. I can see that police work in Texas (and probaly anywhere, for that matter...) is definitely educational... Pete. -- "I used to write COBOL...now I can do anything." |
