Is there such a thing as grammar check or run-on sentence blocker or gerund identifier or a spell checker that incorporates all of these things that also puts punctuation in the proper places and helps your sentences to be more better and easier to read so that folks dont have to study your sentences to figure out what I am trying to say cause i am smart but unintelligible because im too busy to

My computer already has the feature you speak of. I am able to filter some of the sillier posts if I am not feeling up to reading it. On my computer the button is called a "mouse" and if I don't click on it I don't see the consternation or the unintelligible posts... Now back to what I was doing ...

Technically it isn't a "Beer Machine"...it is a 1957 Vendo 81 Coke machine. I just find that filling it with beer is far more efficient use of my refrigeration.

Agreed...as long as that master is TRUTH.

Sure it could. How about the guy who's fuel line froze on his car so what is the logical thing to do? Warm up a quart of gasoline on the stove to add to the fuel to help thaw the lines. Think it was in DC as I recall. Interviewed at the burn center.

I did not say that you said that I said that you....well, you know. Anyway, I did not work a single FEMA trailer fire due to a gas line leak. All human error, of course a simple spray painted igniter knob ended that "human error".

Now look at this photo...Once every knob was painted, I did not work one more accidental FEMA trailer fire.
Forum: Fire/Arson Investigations

First time I attempted to upload something. I worked several of these FEMA trailer fires myself. All human error. You are new to the trailer or you do not do the cooking and you walk in and smell smoke...Open the attachment and quickly decide which knob to turn. If you guess wrong you are dead.

No, ya see...I mean yes I'm from the backwater, but what happened in Seoul is very similar to the guy in Montgomery County that I spoke of, so I was being farcical when I...Ya know what...Seoul is in South Korea, huh....now I know.

SAvato thought that I should clear up one tiny little detail. We did not watch him very closely while he molested and tortured the cat, we watched him very closely when we found out that he was capable of such a vile act. According to him, he did this as a "youngster". When SAvato and I met him he was quite old. Probably about the same age as Kennedy.
Forum: Fire/Arson Investigations

It reminds me of a fire investigator years ago that painted the picture for SAvato and me. He told how as a youngster he would work a cats backside with a corn cob and then douse the cat with an accelerant and set it on fire. We watched him very closely.

If you submit a piece for VOE, it does not mean that you endorse the book. I submitted something. I have no idea if it will be accepted. I also have no idea how the manual will turn out. If the only positive that the book produces is the knowledge passed through "Voices of Experience" (which it won't be) then that's a good thing. My advice to you Fire is to write some

<<Getting certified should not be considered an end point, but a gateway to professional development.>> Very true. Ive seen folks "certified" by most of the organizations mentioned. Most are competent, but every one has those who's development ends with that certification. Kind of reminds me of what Tommy Boy said about a guarantee on his brake pad boxes. Ed

I believe the amount of fuel plays a large roll. I don't know the details, but vapors are displaced, so I suspect that the can must have enough gas to displace the vapors when tilted, but enough space for a considerable amount of vapors to be present. I noticed on the video that there was no pour spout. I suspect that is necessary to reproduce the flame jet as well. I am looking forward
