Eventually, you'll just create a .txt file with pre-written posts that you can copy and paste.... :wink:

Im Back

Postby outlawslaw2 » 14 Jul 2005 19:29

Hi Folks,

I joined this site over a year ago and then forgot my user name so here I am all freshly rejoined. Im the Manager of a 159unit apartment building in Los Angeles, and needless to say I deal with locks and keys every single day. I used to break the knobs off tenants doors when they locked themselves out. That was until I learned the art of picking. Now its almost as natural for me as using a key. Its all in the wrist my friends!!! Anyway great site and im here for the long run....

Thanks Ron LA

Dude, he's gonna notice it missing, or moved, or the fact that you're playing it.

Wash his car, do the dishes for a week and suck up a hell of a lot, will probably work better.... :wink:

Picking is neither in wrist or hands for me..i can pick with my feet.

It is all about feel.
