I am a christian who works on the open water, primarily in oil field support; that's a boat instead of a rig/platform for you land lubbers. It may take me a bit to respond... at least a month. I'll check back in as often as possible. I don't usually work long hitches like this, so if it scares you by my being away for so long, just think about this: I'm home 24/7 for up to 6 weeks at a time! That's a lot of quality time all at once. Plenty of time for traveling abroad, teaching kids (if I ever have any) various things important for life and mity, plenty of time to fix everything around the house and if I wanted/needed to I could take a part-time job as well (but seriously, with this job who needs extra income?!). ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ Married! I found someone who is the best I've ever known... write for friends... okay. For more? Nope. Cap'n Ish - found a safe harbor to call my own (the lighthouse is flashing on the horizon, drawing me closer... port is now here after all). ___________________________________________________________
