    Pete, you really need to get to bed earlier. And certainly you knew nosy me would look at your source (Pete wrote in comments "HEY, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LOOK AT HOW I DID THIS. YOU HAVE NOW BEEN REPORTED TO THE ELECTRONIC POLICE WHO ARE ON THEIR WAY TO YOUR HOUSE TO BEAT YOU ABOUT THE HEAD BODY AND FACE" Not very friendly, but then he is a contractor.) I'll post my responses online:

    I am a:

    Lawyer, So Watch Yourself

    I spend so much time on Breaktime because:

    ... for the Same Reasons I Like Professional Wrestling

    Most of my tools are:

    Status Symbols

    My biggest aspiration is:

    To See a Lawyer Stationed On Every Construction Site

    :) Have a nice day! :)

Everything is working ok so i would assume there are mo material mistakes.Then again, I read on how to write html for radio buttons etc and I did it all in the same evening.As for building from plans, It would be a lot simpler if the freakin architects knew what they were doing when they make the plans.Why don't snakes bite lawyers? .....professional courtesy.Pete Draganic
