Lord, let me just say this...I came across this site by mere chance!!! CHANCE. I have met some incredible and supportive people on this site that helped me through this process and I want to send my sincerest thanks!!! DWHEEL..what an amazing person you are with a wealth of information.

All I can say at this point is that I am still in amazement that there a some fields next to my username that are no longer blank!!! :dancing::dancing::rofl::rofl: :rofl:

Same here. I came across this website by chance. I was doing research through Google and followed a link to here and found it to be the most informative and friendly site and I am glad I found it. I viewed the site as a guest for awhile and then I saw the love and support everyone showed each other and needed to be a part of it. Too many people on here to thank and I wouldn't know where to begin. I can't say thank you enough to you as well as others on here. You guys are absolutely amazing. Lol. I'm starting to sound like a broken record with all the thank yous but it just emphasizes how grateful and appreciative I truly am. Hugs to you and everyone else showing love and support.
