Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. ~William Arthur Ward

I was scared...I was nervous...I didn't know what to do. People here like 81, Black Diamond, ComebackGirl, Mamasan, even DS :lol: , ThoughtsArrive, SatansFuton, pjfan31, prince of dorkness, chadwick, mikalina, hughfreakin dillon, etc...(and no disrespect if I missed you unintentionally) it goes on and on, really, but I can't extend my gratitude enough. Whether you've sent me music, broke chops, had great movie discussions, sports talk and the like, you all in some way were an integral part of me keeping my chin up through this dark and difficult time.
I lost my job in March due to downsizing and didn't know where to turn. A lot of you asked for my resume, sent me messages and the like...I can't repay your generosity only to let you know I hope one day to reciprocate goodness your way.

I nailed a 3rd interview today (unbelievably) and start gainful employment on Monday. I thank you all for keeping me up, never letting me get down and being such a great community of folks.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    Jivin' sister Fanny,
    told her man how to build a P.A
    She, told...that she didn't like the way we play, ah
    If you got a fever child, get to bed and read a while
    ...are doing fine, they....by the while, ah
    Ooh child, you got ge me walkin' down the broad highway,
    Now Jivin' sister Fanny's got the brain of a dinosaur
    Well she hocked my baby brothers
    and she hocked my electric guitar, ah
    If she's waiting in the store, you got to....
    .....
    .....
    Ooh child you got me walkin' down the broad highway,
    I want you come back child, oh yeah, ah
    Ooh child, you got me walkin' down the broad hihgway,
    Ah yeah, yeah

    Jivin' sister Fanny
    balled her man by the wide highway, ah
    She ever heard the question
    and she didn't like the way we play, na na na
    You got me waitin' round, you got me out of town
    ....
    ....
    Ooh child, you got me walkin' down the broad highway
    Jivin' sister Fanny got the brain of a dinosaur
    Yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, ah
    You got me walkin' down...
    .....
    Ooh ah, come on, come on
    Come on, come on now
    Oh yeah, yeah ah
