Lance,
Please read, review, and correct your spelling and grammar before tapping “send reply.” Your writing reads like a meth-head who is trying to cram 20 thoughts into one blurred thought. Did you not even read your own writing? It always amazes me that people think other people are just so excited to read their reply, but then they can’t even take 15 seconds to read their own writing. As a result, your stream-of-consciousness mess is vomited out for all of us to enjoy. Then, you likely bounced to the next ADD victim. Perhaps a review of high school writing materials would be helpful.
