I just wanted to tell everyone hello, and that I hope all of you have a Great and sober week. Im so happy...I get to pick up my 2 mo. chip this week...provided that I dont drink. All of you have played a VERY important role in helping me get back on the right track. I started my new job last Thursday, and Im loving it. Im still in training and will be for a long time. Im a Helicopter ground support tech. It's funny, for 30 years I couldnt wait to retire, and I did right before sweet Katrina came to visit my home. Im only 48, so God has given me the chance to start a new life and job doing something Ive always loved, Aviation. I hope to start taking flying lessons next year. Right now I cant because Im spending all my $$$ on fixing up my house. Just think, 2 Mos. ago, I thought my life wast a total loss and not worth living. God , along with a bunch of folks on the P/C (YOU ) that Ive never met, ( but I know you real well because we are all alike ) kicked started me in the butt and things get better each day. I know I will have some tough days, but I know God wont let me down. In case you dont know it, You have a friend thats a Coonass way down here in South La. Stay safe. If knowbody told you lately that they Love you...tough S#*t, dont drink anyhow . Ron
Lots o folks have said it so well and so simply on this board, that I can add little else.
PS. My dad was born and raised in coonass LA, just outside of Ponchartrain (caught my share of croaker fish on de Lac! In fack, I done poled a pirogue down Bedico Creek through some o' de bayou country with my cuzan an' got rattled about by a few o' dem alligator gars!)
