And for the record, I work in Oil & Gas as an AR Manager with an MBA with a concentration in Accounting. This qualifies me to speak on energy, accounting, Risk Management, and to a degree on environmental impact.
Prior to that I worked in Healthcare for 7 years as a site auditor for a Healthcare Network and arbitrator for claims dispute. That qualifies me to speak on medical billing, procedures, and to a degree on the bureaucracy of Medicine.
I have a decade of experience as a certified sports official in High School Baseball, Football and Wrestling, with some College and Minor League experience as well.
I am married (married outside my race), took courses in computer programming in FORTRAN, COBOL, BASIC, C++ and some Java. I speak 3 languages and can read 2 others.
I have a child in college and a step-child who is married and doing well.
I have traveled, on business and on my own, to most of Europe and Asia and the US east of the Mississippi.
I have had dogs for pets since I was 15.
I am a cancer survivor, and know a fair number of cancer patients and their battles.
I also have a fair amount of common sense.
This covers a wide range of topics on which I can fairly claim to have knowledge and/or relevant experience.
I do not, however, pretend to be what I am not.
I do not, as Sam does, pretend to know more about medicine than an actual doctor.
I do not, as you do, pretend to know more about intent and character of the members here from their posts.
But you certainly have me beat when it comes to Hypocrisy, quash. That is absolutely your strong suit.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier
