I suppose you are right job. It still bugs me a little to see so many newbies. Reading some of their sitches puts me right back there. It's sad. I do miss seeing some of the others that were around when I got on here.

I will check in from time to time and offer something when I can. God knows that I got a lot of help from others...

Thank you Job!

Just checking in....

My son played another show a few nights ago. Someone must have said something to XW because THIS time, she avoided me. Last time, she went out of her way to talk to me. She's just weird.

I still feel down every now and then, but most of the time I'm good. Had an episode about a week ago. I was just feeling very alone. With the exception of my boys and lady friend, I really have nobody. Most of the time, I'm good, but sometimes it just really hits me.

I've joined a gym and try to work out 4 days a week. I haven't lost too much weight though and the doctor says it is because of the Insulin that I take. (Thanks Diabetes.)

In about three weeks, I'll be celebrating the one year anniversary of my heart attack. Not really anything to celebrate but....that also means that I've gone ONE YEAR WITHOUT A CIGARETTE!!! Go me!

Anyways just wanted to check in.

Newbies - keep going. It gets better. It just takes time.

Keep up the good work!

Hey folks. Just dropped by to say hi.

Most on here don't know me anymore because they have moved on. That is a good thing I guess. I too no longer come to this site, mostly because, there is nothing new.

Next week will be the 8 year anniversary since bomb drop. I try to forget the date, but it happened on 10/10/10. Haha. Kind of hard to forget.

I actually saw XW last week at one of my son's shows. She seemed to watch me most of the night. Not sure why. Maybe because I was standing next to and talking to a young, tall, dark brunette. She wasn't a date, but just a friend of my son's that I have known for a few years.

As for my lady friend at work, we are just friends and that's all it will ever be. I'm good with that. I'm really not looking for a relationship.

Before I had my heart attack and was diagnosed with Diabetes, I had lost a lot of weight. Because of the weight loss, a lot of my dental work had fallen out. (I had a bunch done years ago due to an injury.) Well, I've been seeing the dentist and next week.....I get dentures. Not hip on getting dentures, but it will be nice to smile again and not worry about my teeth. It does add to my "old" feeling though. I've been feeling old for an awful long time. I turn 51 later this month, but feel much older.

Anyways, just wanted to say hi. Overall, I'm happy.

What a surprise! I'm glad you came back to visit.

Tad, you are not old. When you have a weight loss, there are bound to be differences. There are plenty of people in the world wearing dentures for many reasons. I'd rather see a person w/dentures then to see people talk/smile and no teeth present. You'll feel much better once you get the new ones.

BTW, how is the kitty doing?

Thanks Job.

Kitty is doing fine. He seems to be feeling better and his "voice" is coming back. He likes to come in and eat and hang out, but still does not stay the night. He comes to visit nearly every night and then goes back out a few hours later. I think he just likes to know that I'm here. smile

He can stay if he decides to use the litter box, but at this time, he chooses to leave when ready.

Hello Tad! smile
Give us an update on your Alaska vacantion.. is it a go?
Where? How long? What are the places you look forward to see?
When?

A vacation seem needed for you. I know how hard you work. You are very hard and demanding on yourself at times.
Hey, if Alaska is a no go, how about Ontario, Canada? smile

Hey there.

As of right now, Alaska is still on. It will depend on if I can swing it financially. The plan is to go August or September of 2019. Not sure where in Alaska I'm going yet. Been doing some research and it will most likely be Anchorage, Juneau or Haines. I'm going for the Bald Eagles and maybe the Humpback Whales. Wherever I can get some great pictures is where I'll be going. Going strictly for photography. However, I'm afraid if I go, I may not want to come back!
