What could I say? It simply is a convoluted way to say hello! :lol: Literally it means: How do you do, you all!Quote:

For understanding U.S Copyright law, I possess a doctoral degree in Law... my emphasis is in international business law, and international contract law... I'm a professor and consultant of advanced English for international lawyers and foreign business people, to help enable accurate business negotiations between the U.S. and Europe/Russia.
I like to write and edit fiction, for fun... a few stories have been published.
My father began having me reading classic literature when I was about 7 years of age, on Greek dramas, comedies, and Homer. He wrangled a set of Encyclopaedia Brittanica's "Great Books" from a patient who needed minor surgery, but had no money. At 6 years of age I began to watch my father's surgeries, to learn medicine and human anatomy.
But my interest was in philosophy and theology. My studies of various world theologies began when I was around 10 years old. My biggest regret in life, was not pursuing my Ph.D in Systematic/ Progressive Theology when I had the chance.
Though... my nature, my soul, is to teach.
But, I continue to study and read literature.
Want me to continue? :? No need I think. :wink:

Thanks, but it's not meant to be impressive...Quote:

My father and grandfather always taught me to respect everyone... and to NEVER disrespect another person, even if he or she was cleaning sewers or emptying rubbish... and this is the way I learned.
To feed the people I love... yep, I'll scrub toilets and work in sewers if necessary. A valuable lesson.
Wow... And you made it. Cool.Quote:

I can't believe I wrote that last post! Sorry guys, I normally don't spout-off my life to people :oops: ... I think it was the 4 margarita cocktails I drank with some friends before I wrote it... but it is all true.
I still would like that beer...
Let's meet at "The Peppersack" in Old Tallinn, and I'll buy you one... they have really great beer in Estonia. :DQuote:

Weird seasonal brew though, sort of tasty... but not something I would want to drink often.
I think, "to be on the lookout" will work here:Quote:
