So did I miss anything?????

[tripp]

First off let me say I missed you guys...

I have had many life altering moments and changes over the last while that I almost did not think I could handle it.

I have been thru many things as of late that have changed me dramaitcly..(I still cant spell however) Some I hope are for the better.

I hope my head is on right and can contribute to the board in a positive way and try to get re-aclimated to a hobby that I have missed very much.

Not everything in my life has been terrible and last week a great thing happened to me and helped a lot. I spent a week at Disney with my family and got to see what is really important in life. So many things I have overlooked and missed that will never be again.

I did lose a friend to a heart attack on Saturday, but he lived 64 years and enjoyed life and died doing something he loved and went quickly. What more could you ask?
I am anxiously awaiting the birth of my grandson in the next couple of weeks and my daughter is also pregnant now and due in the fall.

Man do I ever need a cigar.

WB John!!!!! You were missed too buddy.
Glad to see you back - hopefully healthy / refreshed in body and spirit.

Sorry to hear about your friend ... 64 is too young.

Not much earth-shattering going on here since Dec ...

Many new guys ... lots of cigar trades / sales / PIFs ... some arguements ... some apologies ... some gaffes ... some funny shit ... some birthdays ... a couple deaths ... some births (including a future one coming up soon) ... and one mystery bomber. Also several thousand posts by Todd + Tom.

Other than that it's been quiet.

 

[tobby4]

He is the mystery bomber..

 

[tedski]

If so ... it was a mystery to me.

 

[CWS]

Welcome back John. Good to have you back in the saddle.

I have spoke on the phone with Tubaman a couple of times and I heard that the lottery got taken care of. I do apologize for leaving that hanging, I dropped the ball on that one.

I have missed the happy people around here and the stuff they have to say.

I have been going to church and I met up with a lawyer here in town that goes there that smokes cigars and a pastor at the church overheard us talking and confided that he does as well as well as another of the pastors.
Might have to have a church herf!!!

[Electric Sheep]

Animal kingdom lodge Lowest floor savanah view.
Girraffes and zebras right out the window.
The son in law dropped a lot of coin on the trip. (and Tripp):rofl:

 

[Altercall]

I'm trying to get a Church herf going, too. The youth minister that I worked under for a few years used to keep a cigar diary with our music minister. One of our youth interns also indulges in the leaf. Nothin like enjoying a cigar and talking about God. The A.S.S. boys are getting tired of those conversations, though. In my defense, I don't start em. I love em, but I don't start em.

 

[Electric Sheep]

Daryl is the one who usually starts those conversations. :grin:

 

[Moglman]

Welcome back John!! I am glad you have wrangled your way through the latest of life's obstacle courses and came out on solid ground. I'm very sorry about your friend, and happy about the family. Cheers JT!
