Re: What happened to 12Footer?
Thanks, mate. Her name is Trinity Monday (parent's last name is Monday)..I know,I know -- it sounds like a catholic holiday, but I like it too.She is my 4th grandbuddy, and I've allready got her first combo setup for when she is old enough.<br /><br />Now for that explanation I owe y'all;<br /><br />The past three months have been busy, productive, and most of all, scarey. Those of you who have retired know the stress of "facing the unknown".<br />Will I get bored?<br />Will I be able to afford this?<br />Well, it became apparent before the date to retire was even made, that the retirement
must take place. 30 Years is too long in one place. Also, that my pension would fall-short of meeting the buget Even so, I made a commitment to myself (20 years ago) to jump out of the retiremnent window as soon as it opened. Even tho I knew I had to find a secondary pension. I knew I clearly could not afford to go fishing and sleep-in, like the stereotypical retired guy.<br /><br />I had visions of a miriad of doors which retirement would open up to a professional with my credentials....HA!!<br />I expected potential employers lining-up at my front door, making me proposals -- just like the commercials for that loan-shopping site on TV... This did not happen.I started to get a tad worried after the 4th week of job-hunting, with not so much as one interview!!!!<br />Add to this mix, that my ISP was up for it's yearly contract, the small monetary cushion I had built-up was evaporating swiftly.<br />Then my unstable computer's rotten core went critical, and I was forced to buy a new Sony Vaio just to be able to continue to check potential jobs,and apply online.<br />It was the very next day I got a good job, (albeit 30miles one-way from my home).<br />Things are looking-up for 12Footer and gang. Tina and baby are not only in great health, but her husband is attending church with us! I have so much to be thankfull for. It seems that God has answered my prayers, in the ways that God answers them. Nothing earth-shattering,like winning the lotto, but the lord
did provide what me and my family needed.<br /><br />A couple nights ago, I got an email from admin, giving me a new pw to login with...I didn't get it until this morning, because "Spamblocker", (a feature of Earthlink), put his email into "suspicious" category.Luckily, I recognized his screenname right off the bat, and here I am! Thank you, Admin
<br /><br />So I'm back, and so happy to be here! It looks like I missed a great deal too!
