You guys/gals are making me work a lot harder to stay up with you. I was originally just posting my cryptoquote, but now I have to go a little deeper than that. I am enjoying it more every day and I am learning a lot in the process. Thanks for your contributions, they are greatly enjoyed.

Now why did you have to mention that ham? I'm drooling on my key board, what a mess! lol
To all service men and women serving our Country around the world. May the Lord keep you safe until you return home. Also may there be peace again during our life time.

There is a lot of truth in that one, but today's society is too self-centered to understand it. I am successful at work, because I am surrounded by good people, but I give them credit for what they do! Not a supervisor, either. I am but a lowly Process Engineer, but I cannot succeed without help from Maintenance, Production Technicians and Management, our Quality control Dept, and our Kaizen Group. Combined, they all make me look better than I am. Treat those around with the respect they deserve, teach them what you know, and when the grow, you will grow as well. Wow, I didn't set out to say that much. I guess it was a powerful quote.
Thanks for this one.
