Guys, you just dont know how all of you are making me feel. Yes, words can help sometimes and this is on of those times that they help. I thank you all for the prayers, support and the kind words. Byron go out there and have a drink and pls have one for me too. I dont think it will be wise for me to drink anything tonight so you do that for me! I will prepare myself to have a serious conversation with the CREATOR.

Gee Byron,

If you were talking with them about all that, why didn't you ask if they've received the chocolates that were sent. It be nice to know if they're getting to the regular folks (workers) and not just scooped up by the mail handlers and management.

[Mel and Syl 0]

I also had only two sips nixz_chi, that drink is too strong for me.

Rouguewave, i think Byron is still too excited about his NOA2 you need to give him some credits on that.

33 approvals so far this month. I'd say that even if they do drastically slow down because of the Thanksgiving holiday, which we should expect, we can still say from this point that it's been a good month. And I bet there will be at least a couple more before we hit December.

IM SHAKING!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAD TEARS COMING OUT OF MY EYES ....I KNEW I WAS GOING TO FEEL SOMETHING BUT THIS IS OVERWHELMING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Byron, it's about time! I am very, very happy for you. I am sure you will make up for the lost time during the rest of your journey. Good luck!!!!!

Screw that. At 33 / month it will take 4 months to finish just the open petitions from June & July. 33 is just a lesser degree of horrible.

There better be a whole lot more than a couple of approvals before the end of the month VSC!

Oh come on now, that's not really necessary

We know we want better than 33/month, but compared to single digit/month, this is a marked improvement

Exactly my point. That's all I was saying.
