Inevitably tell me the difference between Rolex and Tudor threads........
Not to mention a few would you buy a Tudor when there is Rolex
Does my watch look big in this thread etc etc etc

Overall lets hope for help and life enrichment to all........ I will try not to spend a month banned this year but no guarantees!

I agree. We get so worried and inmersed in our problems that we forget to see the greatness of YES. Even with our issues, family is healthy and together. Looking forward to Vegas

Gerardo, I wish you a great New Year!!!

New Years

Saturday, December 31, 2016

The flipping of the calendar is coming near,
A time for revelers to rejoice now is here.
To the old days I say my needed good byes,
With hope for the better as the new ones arise.

This past year has had its share of laughs,
And ensnared me on more than its share of gaffs,
I wish I could embrace all of its days,
And not look at bad ones through sad anguished haze.

For this year and more I'm going to pray,
To start with thanks each coming day.
To recognize all with a positive nod,
To treat everyone as a gift from God.

For all of my friend and those not yet made,
I wish you all that heaven will aid
Your future endeavors with wind in your sail,
And this year's troubles to successes will pale
