Just checked my account and found that I've been a member of BC for seven years twenty one hours. My how time flies when you're having fun. I'm trying to think of all that's happened in those seven years, and how many stories I've posted? I think the thing that amazes me the most is that I'm still alive and kicking. Had a valve replacement three years ago and a defibulator implanted two years ago, which has saved my life twice that I know of. I'm still self employed as a glazing contractor for those that didn't know and still writing stories when I have time. Life's been good to me and I have no real complaints and realized a long time ago that the bad things that have happened to me were my own fault to start with. My kness are failing, but I attribute that to twenty five years of racing off road motorcycles, so it is what it is. I am saddened by the loss of so many friends here and in my life that will never be here to share a laugh or tears again, and to friends who are going through difficult times I can't fix for them, but you know I love and pray for you. As the saying goes, at my age, any day above ground is a good day, love to all, Arecee
