Wow, a year already!

I was texting with JHewey this morning to wish him a Happy Birthday when I remembered that it's also my one year anniversary on the Forum. Wow, time flies when you're having fun. It seems like yesterday that I made my first order and logged into this madhouse. I've seen members come and go, witnessed typed out arguments over politics and religion, given congratulations and condolences. At times the Forum members have helped me through some trying issues. Nowhere else have I felt so connected and close to people I've never met. I've had the opportunity to meet some of the members and look forward to meeting more of you in the future. At various times I've had my aZZ blown up while laying down damage of my own. I guess what it boils down to is that even though we come from different backgrounds and beliefs, our hobby is what brings us together in this extraordinarily disfunctional family we call the Brotherhood of The Leaf. Ladies and gentlemen of the Forum, I can honestly say that I love each and every one of you! Thank you all for everything that you have done, not only for me but for each other as well.
