    Close Enough for Government Work!



    This is close enough for government work!! No, it's not tuesday, but I'm writing this one down!!!!! LOL

    I want to thank every member of this board for being supportive and helping me get to my goal. There are so many of you, its probably not right to list individuals because I'll surely forget someone...BUT

    Special thanks to:

    You all have touched something inside of me, something that struck a chord or stuck in my mind for the last year and a half that has helped me get to this goal. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

            Joy, it's fair to say that you've touched something in a lot of other people too! You do have a close-knit group of friends here, which is so cool!
            Congratulations on meeting your goal...you've inspired a lot of us already, but this is just one more reason for the rest of us to keep going.

                              Joy, I've been wondering about that wacky "government work" post title all day. Had I only known, I'd have rushed in here sooner!!

                              I'm honored to be on your list, but it is YOU who has been a tremendous help to me and SO many of us.

                              I love ya girl, and am SO proud of you!
