I love the "tool" I have been given and plan to maximize its utility. I have found, without doubt, my journey cannot be taken without the support of the friends I have met. Thank each and everyone of you.

Hey you know the longer they get the more they need support.   Thanks for catching that for me.
The best part is that Dan had to fix it for me and he got it screwed up too .......

I am sure he thought it was some stupid woman thing but it turned out to be just a OH stupid thing.  

Check out the new upcoming event at the Funny Bone Comedy Club... Hope you can make it
