I wont go into great detail in the open forum.

Let just say that since the new office controller got here last year she has been less then easy to work with.

I will land on my feet somewhere and be back to sponsoring this great forum. in the mean time I created a new user ID and will keep in touch.

I never really did fit into their corporate atmosphere.

So being/trying to be a professional I will try to not say anymore about this here.

Ed I am so sorry to hear this, I know about that corporate life and it's not easy to live there. I will be praying for you and your family and hope you will fine what you are looking for.

Ed that's terrible news and I hate to hear it. I will be thinking of you and praying for you in the upcoming weeks. I have no doubt that everything will work out fine.

Like everybody else, I am here if there's anything that I can do to help you out....except eating donuts!

Take care of yourself buddy and give me a shout any time!

And how do you process meat in a garage that doesn't belong to you? Had to forgo that offer. Too bad too, to waste an animal like that.
Mmmm, I am out of venison, wish I was there. No worries, you don't have to own the garage Just gut it on a tarp, and hang it from the ceiling. Start at the neck and work your way down, soon you will have a taste meal

Damn Ed, I'm real sorry about your situation brother.... I was wondering though- is there anyway for a mod to "credit" your new user ID with your old post count and green chicklets???? I mean you definitely deserve that all! ANd yes, you will be back on your feet soon enough- just keep on keepin' on!

Thanks John- been moving aorund the past couple of days. I'm trying to re-enlist, so I had to fly over 100 miles away from my COP (combat out post) and get all kinds of paperwork done, now still gotta get apporval from the command group where I don't even work at (they're our teams higher though) and then approval from re-enlistment branch of the Marines. What a major PITA!!! You'd think they'd make it easier just to stay in.....

Ed I am so sorry. that is just a door that was time to have closed. A new one has already opened you just do not know it yet. You will walk thru it when it is time for you to.

If you guys need some down time you are always welcome to stay here. "coughNO CHARGEcough" Just let me know.

I too think the mods should give you the posts and dots back. You know my reps and moose smooches will always be here for ya so if they do not give em back we will rebuild em for ya.

just think happy thoughts!


Good morning everyone else

I was thinking about that too. The deer was super stressed before he died. I think adrenaline and stress make animals taste bad. Gamey.

What I figgured.

Ehh...I walk lightly in this house. You know as good as I do that I would've gotten blood on the pretty concrete garage floor, and blood stains.
