Its Been a While!

Sorry it been so long since I have posted, Since we got back from Tenn, I have been buisy and string of bad health and luck. We got back and shortly after I lost some employees, so I have been putting in 16 hr days at our Biz., Got sick, lightning struck my computer, steering box went out on my truck. Cieling caved in downstairs in our hous-found mold, seems the upstairs windows have been leaking for about 15 years un detected, so needless to say I have been very buisy, sorry to neglect ya'll but hope to spend some more time here now.

Kyle

kdmcinnes, All of that bad stuff happening to you reminded me what a good friend of mine once told me.

''If it weren't for bad luck, we wouldn't have any luck.''

She refering to her Irish heritage.

Hope the health issues aren't serious.

Man...and I thought I was the one walking around with a cloud over my head!

Things WILL get better. They can't get any worse!

Sorry to hear of all the bad events. You can recover from all the things other than bad health. Hopefully you can improve in that department as well. Take care and know that the folks on the board are pulling for you and your family. They were there when our son died and the wife was diagnosed with cancer. Take care and may the good Lord bless you and your family.

Thanks Guys, Health seems to be fine now for the most part, if they could just diagnose. Yeah, The rest will pass and it is a new day! Just need to get my steering box back up and running, that way I can drive her and be happy again. Oh well, thanks again

Course, there's another saying;
