My, How Time Flies...

[Leo Tanner]

Hey All.

     Just noticed that as of taday, I have been kickin around this place fer a year.  Sat an thought on it fer a moment an realized how much I have gained bein in all yers company in that time.  Alot of friendship, support, some great laughs and a ton of priceless advice.  Heck, one a ya even was able ta convince me ta get some dental work taken care of when even Lil couln't talk me inta makin an appointment   Who'd a figgured I get somethin like that from here?
     I'll never ferget how ya all were there when I was a nervous wreck in the time leading up to the birth of ma granson, that was great.
     Ya all tought me that the despite the old saying that yes, sometimes there is a stupid question, but that don't mean ya can't get an honest answer anyway

     Aint gonna get mushy here, no sir, though there's more that could be said.  The point a all this ramblin comes down ta this...


THANK YOU ALL
     
     Now Sleep has ta make fun a me er just won't seem right

Stop tellin' folks you take pills for that.  Ma always told me that you was born that way when she was puttin' the bandages on me.

[Ozark Tracker]

[Trinity]

He smothered all of mine.

[Leo Tanner]

He jus wanned ta raise em, twern't his fault.

[Trinity]

Raise them?  What... from the dead?

[Ozark Tracker]

Maybe he was gonna practice to be the next Oral Roberts.

[Leo Tanner]

Well then I guess he cared more bout pettin em than raisin em.

Uh, kid...you did know that Ma drank a lot of her own "medicine", didn't you?

That stuff cures the roup, the croup, the pip, the poop, the piles, an' the palsy; prevents saddle sores an' crotch itch, split ends, bunions, corns, and the pox; makes hens lay twice as many eggs, cows give more milk, hogs fatten quicker, an' babies cut teeth in a single week without discomfort. It can be used to soften old leather, remove rust, patch roofs, and de-horn cattle.  It also can be used as a sheep dip, or troublesome spot remover.  It will snap your suspenders, blue a rifle barrel, crack your glass eye right across the middle, and make child- birthin' a pure-dee pleasure.

What is it?  Why it's Mother Marlitha-Ellen Milldercreek's Marvelous Home Grown Indian Remedy and Soup Spice.

Forty nine cents a three ounce bottle or two for a dollar.  If not satisfactory, your money will be cheerfully refunded.

don't you always love how the side-effects are worse than the fix?

I just got finished taking an antibiotic that, well to not get too gruesome, made me feel like I was giving birth from the lower region, and I'm a guy!  Man did that suck.  Only later did my Mom after freaking out read "may cause stomach irritability." Yeah, irritability!  Sure.

On another note, I've personally received flak because of these forums and my "hobbies" and you know what... bring it on!!  I appreciate everything I find.  And I appreciate the friendships that are made on these sites.  It's nice when you meet people in person for the first time and there ISN'T the 30 second "oh crap" moment and not knowing what to do.

That and I received some of the bluntest and best advice ever on this forum, and it had nothing to do with CAS.

I want to say thanks too, to Leo, to TexasLD, to all y'all for getting me back on track and having goals in life again.  It's sad to say I was almost content with the rat race, I almost gave up.  Thank you.

These forums are here for us to be ourselves. Everyone gets along and there is always room for differences of opinions and a lot of friendly "ribbing" among friends.
