    Thanks, yeah keeping people in the loop and talking to me really helped this time around. It sucked losing the few friends that decided to walk out during this episode, but if they couldn't handle it that's their problem!
    Already working on a new girlfriend too, which seems to be going well so far. This is Katey, she will probably be brought up in new posts from time to time. [emoji2]

    Oh and just to clear it up... Technically not a girlfriend *YET*, we are just dating but the way things are going that FB status will be moving over shortly. [emoji6]

    We actually just met Wednesday, and the paint shop made it happen! Glad that the first time I finished Kristan's hood scoop there was too much dust, or I would have been a day early to the gas station I ran into her in! Stopped in to grab a before bed Monster energy drink, cracked a joke at the cashier, and she started cracking up laughing behind me! So I came off with my trusty pickup line (can't post it here, but PM me if you want to hear it, but it will not work for you!) next thing I know she's sending me her number, and I didn't even make it home before we were wrapped up texting each other. [emoji2]

    She's perfect for me though...
    Sweet little country girl, just moved here from some little hick town in Washington state, her favorite color is camo but she'll settle for anything green, and I can actually connect with her personality which is extremely rare! [emoji2]

    Welcome back, Dick!

    Thanks for your sacrifices and service to our country, and for sharing the suffering you are now fighting on a new front. :Thumbsup: We, who have never served in any war theatre, can only offer you our support, and, like you posted earlier, move on if it is too tough to handle.

    You have my support, admiration AND my appreciation. :Thumbsup: IMHO, from what you combat Vets have gone through to keep us safe, supporting you now in times of need is never "too tough to handle".

    Let the Good Times return! Bring on the cigars! :D

    Oh I know that!

    It just came up in a conversation last night, along with the whole "Kids" question and a bunch of other stuff... And she wants to go back to small town life, and has a friend down in Charleston. If she's still around in May, she just might be coming with me though, that would make that 1300 miles go a lot easier.
    And she can drive a stick! [emoji2]

    Good to see you back on MA brother. I'm blessed to be able to share time with you on FB almost daily and understand the trials you've been dealing with. Having you back here multiplies that close circle of friends standing ready to help you as you stood ready to help us.

    First off Thank you for serving!
    Second Thank you for sharing!

    It is not easy to share the personal stuff, This place (M/A) is a family and we can all be here for each other. Keep yourself safe and dont feel like you cant ask for help. Sounds like you have a good support group with the friends , dont forget that you have people who can and will help.

    Third Cant wait to see some of The Mod Fathers new custom pieces.
