    Grew up in a family that lived by, "make it do; make it over or do without" and have lived that way for most of 7 decades.

    Moved from the metro Chicago area to the middle Ozarks about 3 years ago.

    Generally, I consider that I know just enough to be a danger to myself, (and sometimes to others), but I continue to learn and that is my motivation for dropping in here.

    I appreciate the opportunity.
