There is a point to all of this but I have to start on the down side and it's a bit long winded...
So I've been going thru a rough patch lately:
-Looking to rejoin the workforce after 6 years as a home dad.
-Selling tools and toys to make ends meet.
-The car breaking beyond my ability to fix (had to borrow some funds from a childhood friend to fix it which was pretty devastating - but he was good with it, even if I'm not).
-Tearing up my knee and dealing with the whole mess of waiting for surgery and expecting a hard road of recovery (which I'm determined to come out ahead on when it's over).
-Not being able to hunt this coming season and some other personal issues have been a constant barrage of "bumps in the road" for me this year.
Having said that, I have found so many good people on this site that have helped me stay positive, helped me to stay motivated, helped me with advice, pointed me in the direction of potential jobs, offered me friendship and a few other things that I won't mention but they have been huge deals to me and have impacted my life in enormous ways.
I'm not going to go thru the list of names - y'all know who you are.
I would just like to say a gigantic Thank-You, to everyone.
I do not have the words to truly express the gratitude and appreciation I feel, so I will leave it as is and hope that my fondness of y'all and this site has been communicated.
Ok, all the gushy stuff is out of the way - now I can say some of y'all are just down right onry and I enjoy the threads here more often then not.
