I Know, I Know - Enough Already

I feel your pain.

Lest anyone out there in blogosphere wonder, "Who is this Quaker Guy and what is he up to with his blogging?" let me say that I am a voice crying out in the wilderness (just kidding of course.) As you would imagine, I am a freelancer; but not for the reason that you would imagine.

When I was in college so many years ago, I was disturbed/distracted by an infected index finger on my left hand to the point that I sought out the infirmarian on campus. He looked at my finger, said "Hmm" and proceeded to lead me, by the same finger, to the sink in the office.

As quick as I could proclaim the title of God's almighty Son, he had lanced the finger and was squeezing bloody hell out of it. I nearly fainted on the spot from the unexpected surge of pain, but it allowed me the chance to concentrate once again on my studies.

Yes, I am a freelancer who does not wish to cause anyone to faint or suffer pain from my blogging. I just want to create the opportunity for people, like myself, to be rid of the poisonous infection plaguing our society so that they may be free to learn.

I also want to remind everyone to wash their hands after cutting fingernails close to the cuticle as I do. Too busy for the small stuff is too busy after all.
