Brummie -- Thanks for the welcome and the PM tip.
Just to set the record straight -- I don't know jgnat, but she PM'd as soon as she saw me on the sight... Thanks jgnat, I would have lurked a very long time without that little nudge. It took a lot for me to make that 1st post.
Thanks for the welcome unique1, arrowstar, leslieV.
LadyLee -- if I can return a quote that someone who has obviously made a positive difference in many lives (just based on what I've read here), "Thanks for your kind words and I look forward to getting to know you better."
Hamas -- thanks. I will check out the site you listed. Do you have an affiliation with escape?
outnfree -- thanks... A big time poster, with a lot to say... very encouraging.
bigtex -- lets see, what does heaven look like... Living on a paradise island; the picture tells me that you have recently been introduced to your second childhood; your stories tell me that you have a compassionate heart; and if I'm not mistaken, you have an intelligent, tender, and lovely companion in life that will forever let you be that little kid inside... sure sounds like heaven to me... seriously tex, it sounds like you've been through a lot, as well as your wife, and yet you still offer all you have to give... I admire that and hope to get through the next few years with that fire still burning inside me.
I really do mean it.... thanks...
