I'm thinking about writing a column about how the ADC business has affected you and your family in regards to where you live, if you considered moving, have moved, expanded your garage, home, etc. My thought on this is that when you became a wildlife guy, was it a great thing, traumatic for any family members, do the kids love it or hate it, and overall how being a wildlife guy full time, has affected your life, either good or bad, or both.

I realize that some of the absolute best answers for these questions are very private and I intend to keep them that way. You can use the PM system on here or reach me at wildlifecontrollers@yahoo.com. I check my E-mail every day.

P.S. If any of you have had intimate relationships with any known actresses, don't worry; I'll just fill in my name and I guarantee you that know one will believe it!

Paul we have seen many divorces, and depressions in this business, in the many years.

Okay, so far my article will have to say that if you become an ADC guy, you will have to read my articles, which will get you depressed, your wife will divorce you, and your joints will wear out. But don't worry, you're going to die young anyway.

Being relatively new to the fold, I find this post absolutely hilarious!! I got out of the building trades in the '90's because all of the builders that I knew had bad knees, bad backs and all of their houses were only half built and had plywood floors! I guess now that I am in my forties I can wear them out after all!

I hate to admit it, but I believe you are correct . The only thing I can add, is that the state of Kentucky, and numerous Bourbon distilleries will miss me (and my weekly donations)dearly when gone. I have done my best to support them for the last 20 + years. It has been a great relationship.

I can always count on Mr. Burns ( And a tall glass of Old Thompson ) to brighten things up!
