  1. My Mother Died.

    Please accept belated condolences from me on the passing of your Mom, Shadow. Reading your first post, I see that my mom was born the same year in March. She's still with us, but her health is not good. My dad passed away in Aug. '03.

    So, I know what it is to lose a parent. It will be even harder when Mom passes, so I understand and empathize. My prayers are with you even now. May the Lord be with you and help you through your loss.

  12. About U?

    From the looks of it I guess this is where I start....?

    Ok I'm in NC, USA, 51, with one daughter and one son. My daughter has 3 children, Cohen, Allyssa, and Ryan, and lives in the next county. My son, a Staff Sergeant in the US Marines, just got back from Iraq a few months ago. He's married to a Navy girl and they have a son, Connor, who is my youngest grandbaby. I hadn't seen him since 1998 when he was deployed last year, so when he came home (Thank the Lord!) he visited home for about a week. It was a wonderful thing, to see my son safely home after not seeing him for so long, meeting my new daughter-in-law for the first time and seeing my newest grandson for the first time. It was awesome!

    And to the Viet Vets I've seen post here, I want to say a deeply felt and sincere THANK YOU for the service you gave our country. I make it a point to thank every veteran, especially those of that era (since I came of age during that time). If you saw me in person, you wouldn't think I was a hawk, but I am. But I'll leave that right there.

    Been interested in computers for a long time. When I got my gateway, it was like Christmas for me! And that is not a joke. Been online since 2002 and have loved it all....well except for the crap that got on it before I found out about spyware and all that. Am now in the Boot Camp at SWI and working on forming a non-profit geared toward helping those whose pc's have been compromised by that scumware.

    Slightly unemployed right now, as I've been laid off for about 2 weeks. But even with that, things have been better for me now, than in the past several years. The Lord has blessed me with many things and though there are still some rough roads, it's all still good. And I thank him every day for them.

    Had heard about this place, but hadn't visited til I was in a chatroom with some of the members here, mainly cowsgonemadd3 who sent me to the room and where I was welcomed warmly. Contrast that to another chat I went to at another forum, which shall remain nameless, where I was booted out without any warning. I wasn't doing anything, just trying to see what it all was and no one said I shouldn't be there, then wham! I was out :blink: That really made me feel bad, so I hadn't even tried another chat (except for one my sis has at her msn group site once). Today was a really big difference and I was not made to feel unwanted or stupid. Thank you, those of you who were there and talked to me! :D

    Well, enough of that, I guess. I'll be around :)
