Three years ago

Huge help to me Andrew. Thank you. And congrats on your anniversary

It's been three years, huh? My, doesn't time pass quickly when you're having fun, as they say. <grin>

As for "...It's my hope that I've been a little bit of help to one or two here" I'd say it's been more than one or two, as your good sense posts and the knowledge shared from your own experience have likely helped more folks than you realize.

And there is a way you have helped others that you may not even realize, Andrew. Whenever you have posted a picture or two of some of the remarkably talented artwork that you do, what this tells the world is that, in spite of having a serious medical condition, you still find the time, energy and determination to do wonderful artwork in wood, and you don't let this thing get you down, and keep you from using and showing your talent. That in itself is a wonderful source of inspiration for others!

Keep up the good work!

Andrew, happy anniversary (I guess). I'm glad you continue to do well.

Jim

Thanks for all the kind words.

Protman, on your three year mark, I'll be there to say: "Dude, told ya."
Yooper, thanks - sometimes I like being here more than the shop.
81GyGuy, thanks for those words, but well, I am more craftsman than artist.
Tall Allen - right back at ya. When I see your name, I read it because you've just got so much good info to share.
Jim - thanks so much for being a moderator here. I know this can't be the easiest place to moderate sometimes.
Gunner - I often read the G9 threads but don't comment there much. I know when to leave things up to the experts.

Andrew

Andrew,

Your 3 years here have contributed so much to this forum. Many here don't stick around, which is understandable, but new guys and their loved ones appreciate the supportive presence of those who have had the same experiences

Tim

Andrew - Our paths are very similar. Dx at almost 51, 4+3, RALP at 51 (difference I know but...) Like you I just had my 6th confirmation of continued membership in the Zero Club (three years.) I appreciate your continued contributions, as well as of the many familiar names that I recall from my battle days. I'm one of those that rarely comes here anymore, but I have always appreciated all of you brothers and sisters that contribute and support day in and day out. I wish you many more zeros!

Best,
Steve

Browntrout - Thanks, but my doctor says I don't have more than 30 or 40 years left.
Tim G. - Thanks. There are times I think my time here is over, but then I log in again.
David - dude, I still might fly out to your house and mow your lawn in the spring. You still in my prayers.
Steve - it's always good to see you checking in.
Tatt2man - Keep going, always look forward to hearing from your.
