"Thank you, dear one, for throwing me that life perserver of knowledge when I was drowning."
You are more than welcome, kind sir. Though I'm confident that you did more for yourself than anyone else could have done for you. You're just that kind of guy. And please don't forget how much you've helped me, along with what you do for countless others. There's a reason so much love is coming back to you now, TC. It's 'cause you put it out there in the first place, right? Right!
One of the things I love most about FR is that friends and strangers come together and support one another without the slightest bit of hesitation. If but the world operated that way, eh...?
I'm so glad your burns have healed. They had to be miserable little monsters. Can't help but wonder if you managed all that on your own, or if you had had a bit of help from UCLA's famous hyperbaric oxygen therapy center. Regardless, it's clear that you're ready for prime time next Monday. Your determination and spirit will be a huge asset to your surgeon. Ask him/her, they'll tell you > smile.
Mucho hugs and more prayers,
Me
I was at the mall the other day eating at the food
court. I noticed an old man watching a teenager sitting next to him.
The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, and blue.
The old man stared. The teenager would look and find the old man staring every time. When the teenager had had enough, he sarcastically asked:
"What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?"
The old man did not bat an eye in his response. He replied, "Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son."
