After a good nights sleep I awoke for another day in this wonderous business.
While things change at the speed of light much stays the same.
Hard work, disappointments, conflicts, satisfactions, money - for after all this is business and all the other elements that comprise each day in our choosen field.
A positive constant is how fortunate I am to be connected to other users thru AW.
The attitude, insight, knowledge, helpfulness, diversity and humor are all blessings. Somedays it seems the humor is all that gets me past my blocks.
While many of you are not always correct in your opinions (please see my posts for the right answers)you are all here for me.
So before I return to my "go get'em" mode I thought I would take this moment to say thank for being you and to AW for this opportunity.
PS I just had a flashback to the prayer huddle before each football game. " Dear Lord etc. etc. etc....Amen" Now lets go tear those bastards to pieces. Oh well, a few flaws give an item character.

Thank you, Ray.
Your posts and humor have contributed to my longevity with AW's EO.
It is a pleasure to "know" you.

reston ray...thanks for a great thread. I agree with you, too. AW and the posters here have helped me with my livelihood, as well as kept me company when I needed some. AND, even some heated debates made sure I was still alive and kickin', too

It feels like fall outside with a nice breeze and partly sunny skies. It's Friday. In just a matter of a few weeks, it'll be Halloween and then Thanksgiving and then Christmas.
Life is good.
Positive threads are cool. Thanks!

What a great thread - I had gotten a little discouraged lately with all the negative threads... but,I can't count the # of times I've gotten real help or encouragement here that made a difference in my bottom line. Is this a great place or what!

 I 'lurk' more than I post but I loved this one too much to not say thanks! I learn a lot by reading the posts and sometimes get that push or encouragement too! thanks!

I think we are all a great bunch of people here. Some a little testy at times but it makes it fun and interesting.
Never a time when a question goes unanswered and help given.

Today's roller-coaster:
Woke up at an acceptable, neutral 0
Caught up on the latest on the PP (don't want to ruin this thread by spelling it out) situation. The situation was unchanged - now at -1
Received a very negative neutral feeback from someone. They never bothered to contact me first! now at -2
A package I sent air-mail to the U.K. in April (yes, APRIL!) was returned to me by the post office (from Royal Post) as unclaimed... Ironically I had submitted the U-Pic insurance claim just last week. Canceled the claim and got the package ready to re-ship. Back up to a -1 since my U-pic rates won't go up 
Had a great dinner (lobster tacos...mmmmm....) with my wife and daughter. Up 2 points to a +1 (about time I saw the + side!)
After seeing this thread lingering all day I decided to open it. Thanks Ray. Looks like I'm going to go into the weekend at about a +5
Have a wonderful weekend all!

Gorgeous fall day!
Wish I had read this sooner. Thanks Ray!
Lobster tacos. [???] Yuk. That would have been a -10 for me! Glad you liked them borgt.
