I can deal with crude retorts. I have been, (until recently), working in machine shops for over 25 years. Trust me, machinists and operators are a crude but fun bunch. I can curse and insult with the best of them if it's called for. I'm not really a turn the other cheek kinda gal when it comes to insults. Harassment is an other subject all together. I spent 4 years in the Air Force at a time where women where not treated well in the armed forces. My sister did the same in the Navy 5 years earlier. She did data entry in Bethesda, MD. A computer then took up a whole room.
Don, have you seen what some of those original arcade games are going for now-a-days. WOW. I saw a Frogger game on eBay go for $35000. It didn't even work but had spare parts that they claimed would make it work for some one who knew the electronics. Can you imagine hanging on to the stuff we played with back then. There were antiques but nowhere was there collectibles like there are today. My son-in-law's Dad has a baseball card collection that he won't tell his sons it's worth, he is afraid they will kill him for it. (Kidding) His wife told me it is insured at over $100,000 and in a bank vault. He has about 5000 cards she thinks. My ex-husband is into model cars and Hot Wheels. Some of his cars are worth $200 each. I have some crocheted (sp) blankets that are 40 years old. I wonder what I could get for those, $20? LOL
