HEY ALL!! Well YES!!!! Finally SSDI comes through!! It is soooo hard to have the patience to wait and try to understand "the process" that some "things" must go through before you get what you are after. If none of this makes any sense, well OK. This is just BIG DAVE talk. OK, it appears that I will be able to make a run at this retirement thing. Just need two more events to fall into place, and then it's on. Trips to St. Thomas, gold, jewelery, fame and fortunes..... OR NOT!! I would be happy just to be able to affordable live in my current home. Who am I trying to kid. However if I ever could, St. Thomas is the FIRST place I would visit!! It's been 24 years and I still love that place. I am also getting the big urge to do some decorating for the holidays. I used to do the whole show on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Outside the house, inside, the yard, everything. I used to have custom made lights to fit on my house. I mean it was over the top. I got that from my father. We used to decorate the do-dads out of the house, even had cut out figures in the front yard. WOW!! Well the last several years I have not been in the decorating mood. But that feeling is returning. Watch out!! If your family it might be a good time to leave the state. Got about 220 items on eBay last night, now it's time for stuff to sell!! I am getting a lot of hits already, and have about 8 items on someones watch list. cool, very cool. More stuff to conquer today. ROCK ON!! CHOW MOI
