Every time I hear some one say "Where is it at?", I can't help thinking that person must be some type of hill-billy.
Sorry.
Flame me out, all you defensive people.
One member hates me because of my lack of education and now here is a case of one who dismisses my input for the same reason.

Sgt. Alvin York was a "hillbilly" who won The Congressional of Honor.

Thomas Edison had very little formal education and his contributions were numerous.

That is just two people out of many who were not dismissed.

BTW, now you know I am one of those to be dismissed you skip my posts.
