Hello to the man down under. I love how you introduce yourself to using yourcurriculum vitae or resume as they call it in the States. You have plenty of experience in life and work as we have seen in your enclosed life info and want to congratulate you on over 65 years of marraige. This is a really blessed thing there. Most marriages fail these days and people are not as commited to marriage as they used to be. Anyway I would Like to say you welcome abroad and you have all the qualities of the ideal person we would like to have on this forum. Just to ensure you understand the main points we considered that pushed me to say you are the right person for the job. ONe is you are from Australia and we have a policy in this company to have a multi cultural team on board. And while Immigration is a world wide problem at this moment we want you to feel welcome to join us as and when it suits you.Two. You have internet and can type on a keyboard. This is really te greatest point you had in your favour as you wqoould be useless if you can not take part in the forum discussions.Three. With the life expeience I see listed here on your CV I can see the you also have a lot of patience and understanding of the hard thing in life witnessed by the period you have been married. I can see that most of the fellow Kamasutrans will benefti fro your point of view as someone that has been through all or rather most of the basic things most of us will want to know about. I know things have chanmged since you were around the block but the underlining facts probably are still on the same basis. So on those three powerful merits I say WELCOME ABOARD KS forums and wish you all the fun and knowledge the world has to offer.
