how do you edit it, you mean just backspace or delete all the lines you don't want? or is there an easier way.
 
if you hit quote the whole caption will be reprinted in the text box (???) and you can erase the section you don't want to be quoted, try it and scroll down, you'll see what he's talking about.

Ok , I think i got the quote thing sorted out! Thanks to everyone who gave advice.

Special thanks goes to pancake who made me look like an idiot.
At least I know how to spell appearance.
 
Well I was at my wifes Christmas party last year, She works as a receptionist at a very well known chain of car dealerships. As I was sitting in my Very uncomfortable dress shirt and tie(what I call formal wear), enjoying a free drink from one of the mechanics a very fat man sat down next to me,

"So what do you do?"
My simple response was tree work If you say arborist they look at you funny.

His response "What not smart enough to get a real job?"

Wrong answer. If I used one of your PC answers he probably would have asked what does that entail, But me Being a little more than annoyed ith giving the long explination of what I actually do and what it entails. Ended up in a few bruises and a Some blood. edit: That was him not me by the way.

I think "Tree Doctor" Bests explains our Position. We treat Disease, we treat Broken limbs, and when there is no other alternative or it is a danger, we put the tree down.
 
Wasn't trying to make you look like anything in particular, especially an idiot. Thanks for the discussion and the constructive critisim (Sp.) I firmly believe to each his own, and every situation like every tree is different.
 
Back to my original point, you sound very serious about what your trying to achieve Lazarus2
If you like the term Industrial Athlete thats great
I like the terms treeclimber/tree surgeon, I'm also a certified arborist and I do my bit for the industry by explaining to my clients why it is so important to choose a professional company.
You seem very focused on the tools/skills/knowledge for the worker.
I'm more focused on the client and their trees.
After all, climbing just gets you to a position in the tree where you can do your work.
 
Serious...

...this is my vocation.

I am focused like you say, but also with trees and clients.

To give you some idea, today I was undertaking tree surveys for two of the most prestigious estates in the national park. The land agents and national park tree officers openly asking my advice. You can't build that kind of relationship without being focused on clients, their trees and the overall effect on the ecosystem of the national park.

I'm glad you are doing your bit to. Educating clients is educating the public!
 
At a party couple months ago, talking to this girl, she asks what i do.

Slurring my words, i'd had one too many I say back 'i work with trees'

she says 'oh thats really good, so your a treefarmer?'

I say 'no, not really, more of a tree shepherd, i herd all the little pine trees into a small enclosure and chop them up for logs'

She looks at me with a blank expression....

I say 'Sorry'

She walks away

I feel stupid.
 
she says 'oh thats really good, so your a treefarmer?'

You "yes, do you want to see my wood"

Then she walks away and you feel stupid, but you can laugh about it with your mates later!
 
Oh..and for the record, I see an introduce myself as an Arborist. That usually begs the question 'what?', then I can 'explain them to death' all that I do. Then they leave me alone. Its easier on the knuckles that way.
 
Re: Are you an Industrial Athlete?SPAM

Thanks everyone for all the responses.
I think we've said all we could on this matter.
Given me something to think about, I think!
Cheers.

Axe, to quote just a few words or so, click the "reply" button to the person you want to quote. Then click "quote" and you'll see the 2 quote signs. Highlight the line you want and click control C. That will copy those lines. Then go in between the quote signs and click control V. That pastes the text you highlighted and it will appear like you want.
