{{{Good Morning All}}}

This morning I would like to post a personal letter to everyone rather than a story. I have been getting a lot of comments (all good) and I thank everyone for them. A few select ones though, make me just a little uncomfortable. I will put excerpts (not the whole letter as I did not get the people's permission to do so) of what makes me feel that way.

>"I've showed your stories to my kids and told them to be more like you."

>"Bill, really enjoy your story's. You are the Saint of the internet. Please don't ever stop."

>"If there were more people like you there would be heaven on earth"

Family, while these thoughts let me know that you enjoy my stories and that they have made your days a little brighter( for that I am truely happy), you have to keep in mind that I am just a man sitting at a key board behind a computer screen. I am no saint, and please "NO MORE LIKE ME IN THE WORLD". I am a relic out of time, I am just a human being with all of the problems, struggles, and bad emotional baggage as others out there. I have my bad days (just ask my wife and kids), I get angry and fly off the handle some times, and I worry and feel scared just like everyone else. I go out into the cyberworld and find these stories that I think will fit the mood of the thread from the day before for a very "SELFISH" reason. I wish my reasoning was more noble, but the plain fact is, I do it because it helps "ME" get through each day. All day long, when things start building up, I think and try to visualize one of you out there maybe having a bad day, and then reading my story and a smile creeps across your face, and all of a sudden, my problems don't seem so bad. I don't usually get this personal, which says tons about the caliber of people on this thread, but being hidden behind this computer gives me the courage (I'm a coward most of the time) to open up just a little.

Anyway, I am getting far to long winded but wanted everyone to see the truth behind the key board, the rest of the story, as it were.
And before I forget, I have no intention of ever stopping so your stuck with me. Over the next couple of weeks my stories may be a bit spotty at best, I took my new computer back yesterday and as soon as my credit card is credited with the refund, I will order a "DELL"(Tri, Annie, you convinced me). And BTW, Thanks for the talk last night, I did feel a little better after.

Thats about all I have to say today except everyone, shut down your computers this morning, take a break, go get a hotdog and think childish things. Its Friday, nothing is going to explode today on the markets, they never do on a Friday as everyone is afraid of getting caught off guard with weekend news, so today is the perfect day.

PS, I have sent my web page address to a few people but for anyone else who cares, here it is. Very amaturish but I am learning how to make it better. Not all links have things so just look around.
