I just want to thank all of you again for all the concern and well wishes that have been shown to me in the last month, you guys are the greatest! I hope I didn't post the China approval wrong (that's why I said I believe it is approved) I'm still kind of in a daze, but through my porch family's support I'm going to fight through this and I will survive with the rest of you guys.

I will PM each and every one of you as I feel a little stronger, but please if I should happen to leave someone out
please excuse me(it will not be intentional)

I talked to my Dad today to see if he would like to join me at the Porch Party and if he agrees to make the trip I, will be there with God's blessings and if not I will be spending Father's Day at home with him(as he will truly need my comfort)

May God Bless this Porch and All who come to it,
Louis/Coonaz

Dealie
You are an absolute riot and you sure do know how to tell it like it is. That's exactly how it all happened today.
Lordy, lordy, what a day it's been.

As long as your pouring, can ya top me up too.

Yup, you get a "that-a-girl" for that one.

Luv,
Rosita

Dealer! That was the best gahddamn post I've read in a while!

You are excellent!

You put a big ol' smile on my face for the first time today.

...Actually, it was the 2nd time today.

The 1st time I smiled today was when I saw Coonzie post his message about the QCOM deal.
It rekindled memories of all the fun stuff he used to write here. It looks like he's doing a little better.

Anyhow, thanks for being here Dealie.
You are excellent.

Hiya Dealer,
Nice post. Welcome back.
Somthing to read for the whatevers:-

I went into a public'ouse to get a pint o' beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, "We serve no redcoats here".
The girls be'ind the bar, they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy go away";
But it's "Thank you, Mr Atkins", when the band begins to play-
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's "Thank you, Mr Atkins", when the band begins to play.

I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls,
But when it comes to fightin', Lord!, they'll shove me in the stalls!
For it's Tommy this an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy wait outside",
But it's "Special Train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide-
The trooper's on the tide my boys, the trooper's on the tide,
O it's "Special Train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide.

Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap;
An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.
Then it's Tommy this an' Tommy that an' "Tommy, ow's yr soul?"
But it's "Thin red line of 'eroes when the drums begin to roll-
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll.

We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy psints,
Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;
While it's Tommy this and Tommy that, an' "Tommy, fall be'ind",
But it's "Please to walk in front, sir" when there's trouble in the wind-
O it's "Please to walk in front, sir" when there's trouble in the wind.

You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all:
We'll wait for extry rations if you'll treat us rational.
Don't mess about the cookroom slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace.
For it's Tommy this and Tommy that, an' "Chuck 'im out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this and Tommy that, an' anything you please;
An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool-you bet that Tommy sees!
