i luv you

[michael]

and i trust you

 

but it is easy for me to cash small amount and mail out at the same time in one place due to my stroke (the day after thanksgiving 2007) and my current limp

[cpm9ball]

Michael, I wasn't aware that you had a stroke. I'm so sorry. Now, I feel bad.

 

Several years ago, Al, one of our neighbors on the next street, had a stroke. He was in his sixties, and it was pretty bad. He couldn't even walk down the driveway to pick up the newspaper. The state took away his driver's license, but apparently wasn't aware that he also had a motorcycle license. About a year after the stroke, he bought a customized, three-wheel chopper for about $40K, and started hanging out with a biker crowd of retirees. Now, when he decides to go out for a ride, he roars down the street (and it is very loud) just to let everyone know that he is alive and well.

You never even told me that, Mike. Guess that you're certainly not the whining type. Still, I'm sorry to hear that, Michael.

Yeah, I had no idea either. I know you're not the kind to take sympathies, but you have mine anyways.
