Greetings Again!

JoeReal · 03-23-2009, 04:29 PM

Hello Everyone!

Thanks for all the well-wishers while I was gone on extended vacation from the forum. I also hope to welcome the new members in this wonderful forum as it has grown by leaps and bounds and hope to contribute more as time allows me.

I thank God for all your prayers and well-wishes, they helped me through my ordeal. For those who know some history about our family ordeal, my son is fully revived and has recuperated well enough to be accepted to various colleges and universities. His main problem now is which one to go to, and that is a better problem than what we had earlier. My son is still a member of the racing snowboard team which always kept us on our toes every time they have practice or competitions. And it was the snowboard fall that caused most of his problems before, so we just gave it all up to God, and with your prayers, we are at peace. We hope to do the same for all of you.

Well some news, I have been hired to lead two other companies aside from the current one that I help manage, so have been really busy, but I'll make time whenever I can to join some discussions here in this forum. Thanks to friends and the site owner and the moderators.

With these companies, you may think that I may be rich, but no way! I'm being paid $1/month to lead the company. I'm happy with the new company that I lead because one of its products is excellent for use on bananas, indoors or outdoors. Harvey and Benny mentioned them to you already and I will talk more about that later on appropriate forum topics.

Meanwhile, allow me to say on behalf of my family: Thank You Very Much!

And personally allow me to say that I MISS YOU ALL!

Sincerely,

Joe Real

I was just thinking about you the other day when I witnessed my first Mason Bee of the season push through the mud seal! My second year, thanks for the inspiration, Joe!
