My writing sucks and I know it but I try to make them readable. Ron, that was a great one. I had never seen or read that. I find that a wonderful thing to share.
My wife use to tell me to quit using !!!! so damn much and I've finally figured it out that they are not needed as much as I thought. Sometime the words can make the point for you.
Thank you for sharing those words and I'll try to not wonder on and on. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
