The past few months have been very trying for me but I've kept up with the postings from time to time. I do not "know" any of you personally, but I feel like I know you well enough to be family. Everyone has something unique and worthwhile to share, that's what makes TC a great place!
I will finally have more "me time" at the end of June when I am FINALLY DONE WITH SCHOOL and have taken my securities licensing exam that I have to take for work. But studying all the time has really cut out just about all my free time over the past few months. I haven't even been posting very many pictures- something I've always enjoyed. And I hope to be able to do that again soon too!![]()
Since I am here, I will make a confession:
I never felt so old in my life as I did two weeks ago. I took Bored to the oral surgeon to have his wisdom teeth removed. The nurse came out into the waiting room to call him back to watch a video before the procedure. As he was walking back, she asked him, "Would you like your MOTHER to come back with you?"
MOTHER???
MOTHER????
Now I admit that I am a few years older than he is, but COME ON- there's no way I look old enough to be anyone's mother, much less the mother of a 24 yr old!! Needless to say, that did not help my depression over my upcoming 30th birthday. I'm not looking forward to it.
There's just so many things I wanted to have accomplished by now that just have not happened. I'm glad I did it, but starting my life over after my disaster of a marriage was HARD.
That being said, I'm glad I had TC to come to when my life blew up and I needed friends- LOTS of friends. I appreciate that! I can't wait til I have more time to catch up with everyone and come back here regularly!

Andy Rooney said on 60 minutes a few weeks back: (for those of you that don't know Andy Rooney, he is a 82 year old US TV commentator)
"I like big cars, big boats, big motorcycles, big houses and big campfires.....
.....I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else"

happyparadox said:Doing fine. Have scant little time for fun time on the puter right now. I've been using the computer to get staged for a big push on eBay auctions and setting up my guitar business in earnest. It has been collecting dust for far too long.

Bought a violin yesterday at a garage sale for 10 bucks. It is in pretty bad shape which is exciting to me regards the learning experience. And it appears that it could be a Stradivarius copy from the late 18th century. I won't attempt any repairs until I research it fully.
I hope you are doing well. Are you going to let me see some of your photography? Post some here for TCers to enjoy.
Hi and good wishes to all. Hope to have more free time next week for more posting with y'all.![]()

I hope we hear some good news from you soon!
