Gotta tell ya Ship, you started a great thread of you being you. I really admire, and respect you truthfulness, and not mincing words. Expecially that stubborness, and fight in you, as I have seen in the short time I've been here in CS. I think most know my I have permanent disabilities, as I hide that from no one, but what many do not know, it is of my stubborness, and the fight enabled in me, of Truth in the Word, which brought me here to CS. It was not coincidence that I'm still living after a head on collision. The car I was in travelling 65-70 mph, the car hitting me 45-50 mph. No breaks applied, no seatbelts, or airbags, just me tucking a beer between my legs, and holding on as more the 15,000 lbs of forced twisted me up like a pretzel. I'm not going to relate all the trials I have been through in the past 28 years, but I can say with a smile,

that beer bottle didn't break, or break me.
What that, more then 5 weeks in a coma, and months of rehab, recooperation, did do was make me who I Am, and realize the world, its limitation by those discriminating of their own prejudice. It is why I am always truthful, and why HL, myself, will soon be united.

The largest obstacle I found was being truthful to myself, and not advancing goals, or dreams, of which I ultimately suffered in the end. Property, finances, and possessions, can be gone in the blink of an eye, but Love, and Truth, no one can ever take from those walking its path.

Good thread Ship!
