I heard he was busy at work and Turkey season was coming up. I talked to his Pinetree buyer in Florida Saturday and he wants Shannon to get back to work making Pinetrees.

I'm here...just lurking in the shadows :)
 Tim's right. Been doing a lot of soul searching lately, putting my priorities where they should be.    Left my job of 17 years  (should have done that years ago).
  I used to wake up angry, go to work angry, spend the day angry and come home...........angry :(  The day I walked out of that place it was as if a HUGE weight had been lifted off my shoulders!  Been working for half the money and loving every minute of it!  I drove home last night after 12 hours on my knees laying hardwood flooring  and walked through the door whistling 8) 
 I've started going back to church with my wife and son, taking time to reunite with some old friends and making some new ones.  My wife says I'm much easier to be around ;D  Yes, "Life is Good" ;D
 Thank you Greg, for asking about me. It's nice to have friends that care.
                              BTW, I won't be "Saw Filer" on here much longer. Gonna just be me ;D

Shannon:  Whats the song say--"Take this job and shove it"!  That is the way I felt when I finally quit teaching.  Bet your son likes the new dad!  You have a lot of true friends here and I hope you count me as one of them!  A/Ho Joe

I sort of thought you might be doing a bit of "searching".
Glad to hear that you did not turn to the Dark side.

You know you got friends here.

I'm almost there Bob!  The job I'm doing now is only temperary. I'm helping a friend finish up a house before a new baby is to arrive. A lot of painting and a BUNCH of hardwood flooring (my knees are hurting now...back too! ;D)  I've got a welding job lined out after this one. Done that for a few years already before. It's a dirty job, but somebodys gotta do it!  I'm not looing for a new career right now though. I'll never won't let myself become so "needed" at any other job, 17 years without a vacation will NEVER happen again!!!
  It's nice to have friends. A lot of the relationships I've made here go way beyond a keyboard.  I'm amongst some of the finest people the good Lord ever created right here...and i'm thankful for that. :)

Right on Shannon.  I'm sure there are a lot of people reading that thinking they should do the same thing.  I enjoy my job but it requires a lot of hours and sometimes question if it is worth it  :o

     Good for you Shannon! 8)  No job is worth it if you can't enjoy it, or be happy. ;)
I wish the best for you.  Oh, if you need to relax for awhile, the Monastery still has that room available for you. ::) ;D ;D  oh...... does this mean, we are out of the blade material now?  :'( :'(
Oh well, I still have some of the stuff you sent me. ;)  Shannon, enjoy your family, and make a day each week, for you and the family to do stuff together, and a day each week just for you. ;)  Again, all the best for You and your Family.

Kicking Bird: [in Lakota; subtitled] I was just thinking that of all the trails in this life there is one that matters most. It is the trail of a true human being. I think you are on this trail and it is good to see.

Best thing that ever happened to me Shannon...... leaving my old job and starting over ! I was feeling the exact same feelings every day that you were. Stay on your new trail my friend !
