...but I made it.

Looking back, didn't take that long to hit the mark either. The last $.10 didn't take long to collect either. Sort of like telephone poles going by at 100mph.

As rough as it's been, I've still been blessed.

You wonder where the time goes, on October 1st of next year this forum will be 20 years old since I first clicked that "install" button.

I had a reality check recently, my Mother was talking to a long time family friend since before I was born. When I was in my early twenties her first husband died after about 25 years of marriage, She mentioned to my Mother she has been married to the second husband for longer than the first which was kind of mind blowing for me. The second husband has always been the "other guy" to me.
