Title: What the heck
Post by: Porter on July 04, 2013, 11:43:37 AM: has been going on?

Last 6 months of my life have been anything but fun. I wish no one to ever go through the ordeals I have. Turkey hunted thinking I had Kidney failure and major clogged arteries only to get re-tested and find out I'm (fortunately) healthy as can be for a fart old man!!!

Work tried to kill me and almost made a job switch, but my current employment surprised me and my career is taking a different turn now! Actually had a date night this week with the wife. Not sure she remembered we have been married for 17 years the way she was acting :)

Less than a month ago, I went 3 weeks and only got 15 hours of sleep. Life was not looking good and I was not handling it very well either :(

I've missed everyone and I haven't been very good about keeping in touch with everyone.

Weather is awesome here and I'm glad it's the 4th!!! Time to be with the family and enjoy this gorgeous weather!!!

It's great to have you back! Life can throw all kinds of twists and turns at us, but what's important is family and friends. Don't forget you have both and don't hesitate to call out when you need one or the other.

All my best, my friend!

Porter....whos Porter???? Welcome to the Roost................you mite meet a few folks around here you know!

I know I've missed everyone... I told West Augusta the other day, me and my wife went on our first date in years... it's been way too long ago :(

She's happy, I'm happy, my son is happy and I haven't really worked much extra time in the last week. I'm going to make sure it doesn't become a habit again.

I know there will be times I have to do something, but on Friday a big item came up and it felt great just passing the buck on to another employee :) One that is much younger than me!

I've started working out and taking care of myself with help from friends. We have several people working out after work. I never realized how relaxing that can be!

Thanks for sticking around and thanks for all the support for this site... I know the admin sure hasn't done a very good job here :( He probably should be fired *peep*
