The forum means a great deal to me and has become a big part of my life, many days it's the only thing I can look forward too. I will continue to participate and contribute as long as I can as it provides me not only with a great deal of satisfaction and self worth, I learn a lot too.

For all of you youngins, age is relative, it's the state of mind that makes one old, not age and I have refused to grow up for the past 3 decades. The odd thing is, my youngest son turned 26 yesterday and he is the same age as many of my friends, both on and off the forum. Sad part is, neither of my sons talk to me any more and don't even know who thier old man is.

Thanks again for the B-day wishes and the ego boost.
