Welcome spike, and congrats on sharring perseverance with us.
This has been a long difficult march through mud, but tough as nails folks
have taken the risk, believed and stuck it out. I my self have temporarily stopped along the way, cussed and spit on the ground in frustration, but then wipe off the sweat and keep going...
Things are looking up, and I still see the glass half full.
