hey this is like thanksgiving...............

me too then...heres my list

Born in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota

Lived everywhere on earth it seems thanks to dads military career

Fantasic parental units who did a super job inspite of alcholism cutting into the blend. They still put us kids first and through it we kids are the best five friends anyone could ever have.We know how lucky we were becuse we witnessed friends,cousins and relatives that didnt have it so lucky.

missed all the wars personally but knew at the very end of viet nam that dad could just as esily been one of the guys being loaded off the BACK of the plane

faught some other wars, like a hurricane, two tornadoes, an earthquake and a flood, the flood being the worst by far and recounted to a certain degree in other threads here.

know how to use a stove, heated things up by burner rather than microwave.I have seen the comming of the computer age. I find it a mixed blessing. One of those good when its good type things but horribly devestatingly bad when it goes bad.

As a bi Im missing the whole comming out party ( however good or bad that is) Im thankful to know Im good with not having to choose. But Im envious of those who lived through the disco period.......what a fun time. I was still watching sasame street back then.

I can sum it all up tho with this. IF I could do it all again Id likely not change a thing. I have some regrets but they are small and I dont think you can get through life this far without some.The few things Id change are really things not left up to me or my power.really this list could go on and on.

So there you...God...or whatever it is that governs us has been pretty good to me too.

What about the rest of you?

I was born and raised in New York City. Nothing like a New York
Christmas and all the Broadway shows.
I had wonderful parents who loved and accepted me for what I am.
When I was a little boy, I developed a fascination for washing machines....watching the clothes go round and round.
I realized my childhood dream of moving to a warm climate and moved to Palm Springs, California in 1997, then on to Tucson, Arizona in 2005.
I have a roof over my head and food on the table.
Last, but certainly not least, I have my health.

The Lawd's been good to me, mo' than I was to mahsel

I would have to say after all in all, Jesus has been very good to me. Gave me a set of good Christian parents that taught me the way I should go, and 2 years ago (can you believe it) a loving wife and nice home in Tennessee. Oh and a job at the Dell factory fixing laptops.

And thank GOD for Mark (lightedcontrols) because now I have a washer collection and a console stereo (which will come online very SOON... MIGUEL!).

The washers will get fixed one by one when I get the time (very little of that). Priority one: Kenmore 800 (of course).
