92. Thank you EarlG

and all those who help keep this site running. You have spent months helping me when I had some major health problems. It took months and you all hung in there with me when I messed it all up over and over. As we all know, this site is an absolute must for many of us and no matter how I screwed things up as my brain settled back in you were there.

I owe you all a lot for that help. I think most people here can feel what that was like and then know that help is there until it all works out.

Just my personal thank you, it took so long but you were always there. You did it long enough that now, when things get a little *odd* in my head I know you are all there and I have the ability to work through with the confidence you will help.

You have no idea how that made me feel while feeling the worst I still felt like y'all cared enough to do all of that. I am forever grateful.
