Then I wait... 2/3 of the time no phone number is...

I've been using Fuller brad points for a few years now (with the subpar chuck on the craftsman). No use making things worse by using sub par bits too.

Guessing most people don't want to be bothered with another routine chore and are willing to pay for the "luxury" of someone else...

DId you see the the house (visible through the little trees) as the tornado approached the train. ...it got obliterated...turned into matchsticks.

Prior to one of my many MRI's (Neck, shoulder, lower back, hip, and knee, some multiple times over the years) I asked the tech which sex has more "claustrophobia" reactions to being in the tube. ...

Ditto Phillip... you hit all the relevant points to consider.
One of the big ones: "... if you can stand managing employees or need to work alone for the rest of your life (*raises hand*)."
