- Tuition is REASONABLE.

Bernie says Free Tuition. Has additional demands for Bloke interns.
Reading from left to right in the word "Libertarians" just drop the "t", replace the "r" with "l", then drop "ian".
The 4 dropped letters can be scrambled to make "anti" and the old word "Libertarians" has now been corrected in the context above.
MISERICORDE, n.
A dagger which in mediaeval warfare was used by the foot soldier to remind an unhorsed knight that he was mortal.
- Devil's Dictionary - Ambrose Bierce
Young, untrained, untutored, washing machine motor and buffing wheel provided by the hardware store owner where I worked.
I learned very hard lessons about which way to buff, what angle to use, what to wear, what compounds to use, protective equipment, why you want an enclosed area, etc.
Fortunately on junk that I was trying to clean up from my equally informed soldering efforts on clunkers I could easily afford on a high-school student's income.
You want stories, I did everything it was possible (and probably some impossible) to mess up.
But not on other peoples's stuff... and I learned a LOT! (not the least of which is why you want someone experienced and practiced on something you intend to make noise with again!)
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Those masks are protective and a GOOD idea, but also problematic. They are VERY hot, they fog up, and - after about two hours, end up so permanently scratched up that I might as well be trying to buff with the lights off.
That is the problem I have when using them to buff auto stuff. I wish I could find a mask that at least didn't fog up. I could live with the hot if i had to, but not the fog issue .

Yeah - I swim 10,000 yards a week - so I've already tried that and even the anti-fog stuff I use for my swim goggles and car windows - no luck - I'm just one of those people that generates a lot of body heat/sweat - even walking outside buck naked in 0 degree weather Not recommended in daylight with neighbors nearby!
