Alas, that doesn't help the paycheck much.<br /><br />Apparently, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linotype_machine" rel="nofollow">a Linotype machine</a> was (appropriately enough) an early 20th century method of typesetting.

I get better at telling humorous anecdotes and delivering better ad-lib speeches and I find the process of communicating on the page also becomes easier.<br /><br />I still have my days when I can hardly string a sentence together though, so I guess I'm not out of the woods yet.Ben Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03237990156034508963noreply@blogger.com
