On the whole of things.
Good things come to good people.

It doesn't mean there won't be hard times for fundamentally good people, just that there will be more than your average dose of good coming back to them.

That may be one of the basic laws of the universe - but don't quote me on it.
Congrats Sunnyboy. :-P

A good friend used to say "life is short eat your desert first" It turns out he was right he tragically was killed in a car accident @ 23.

this same friend was an electrician by trade. After I finished a fairly dangerous electrical repair for a guy I was explaining to my friend what I had to do and he told me something that sticks w/me to this day. he said:

"joe, you know just enough about electricity to get yourself hurt"

I think this applies to many on this forum.

learned at an early early age.. and I recall vividly... IN Puerto Rico.. we had a gate that would light up when you pressed a button on the doors.. I saw one day (age 3) **** where the F)(&)($@#^ were my folks??? ) that a missing light bulb can still conduct electricity.. this was age 3.. and I stuck my entire finger in the bulb socket.. not a hesitation in my head..

BAM knocked me back and the message here is..



stay the hell away from anything above .------01 volts!

Ive recieved some really good advice in my time thus far but here are three that rank right at the top. (Not necessarily in order). 1) Before your mouth is in motion make sure your brain is in gear. 2) A person will learn more with their mouth shut and their ears open. 3) If you dont have time to do a thing right the first time you sure as hell dont have time to do it over again. Peace all.

Thomas Edison has many great quotes these are a few:

“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” - Thomas A. Edison

“Five percent of the people think;
ten percent of the people think they think;
and the other eighty-five percent would rather die than think.”
― Thomas A. Edison

“The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.”
― Thomas A. Edison

“Vision without execution is hallucination.”
― Thomas A. Edison

“Negative results are just what I want. They’re just as valuable to me as positive results. I can never find the thing that does the job best until I find the ones that don’t.”
― Thomas A. Edison

Just said that about having a spare carbon filter(s) the other day. Going without one running while growing some super stank, even for just a few minutes, is the worst.

My Plan B is to have an ozone generator at hand. It's saved my bacon more than once. I highly recommend a redundant odor control strategy. cn

I use a carbon filter and fan to keep a neg. press. on my building. I also have a carbon filter recirculating within my room. I also have several ozone generators. I also believe in redundant odor control.
