Hey Everyone. I Finally Got An Offer.

Sorry about your brother and congratulations on the new job

I am telling youuuuu, this has been an arduous journey that hasn't even moved into 1st gear yet.

Mountain girl, I have felt your pain all along - I went through a similar ordeal, only with different details, but I know how frustratingly difficult this has been for you, and then on top of that you have to try and put a positive face on it all for the sake of your kids, and your own mental well being. I applaud you!

Man, I know the death of one of your siblings can never come at a good time, but this made it even more difficult. I'm very sorry about your loss.

We have missed you in here - you want to know what I liked about you being in here? I love your tenacity! You are a woman that does not back down, and I like that - you are the quintessential "pit-bull with lipstick on"! I remember you once giving someone some advice in here and you quoted "Dori", of all fish, when she said "Keep on Swimming". It was good advice, and I am glad to see that you have taken it yourself.

Hang tough, and keep at it - we love to hear those reports from our members when it starts coming together for them!

Those are some really high compliments coming from you, Old School. Thank you. Note to self: Print and Frame! I'll have to post them on my "Love-Me Wall." (Once I establish one, haha)

Eh. Everyone here would have loved him. I came from a large family but he was somethin' else. He wasn't expected to live at birth as a 2.90lbs preemie and he defined stoicism. Tough as a railroad spike, he was freaking hilarious, (never, ever a dry pair of pants in the room), he was rough cut and he could swear with the best of them. He could make you laugh, even when you were trying desperately to cry about something. You could call him up on the phone and find yourself laughing your butt off with all these tears on your face, telling him to stop making you laugh, 'cause you just wanted to cry for a while but he wouldn't have any of that. Including childhood, I never saw him cry, himself and I never heard him complain about his own plight. A Semper Fi Marine.

Anyway, I look forward to telling tales of success!

"Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming."

Sorry about your brother and congratulations on the new job

-Karl

Thanks, Man. He deserved a little space here on TT 'cause he encouraged me to do this. "You should do DAT. D-A-T, dat," he'd say. He's the only family member I've heard of around here, who didn't look down his nose on someone wanting to drive trucks for a living.

Pretty cool.

Condolences on the loss of your brother but you can still talk to him and he will listen.

congrats on the new job offer. See, if you beat on the wall hard and long enough with your head you will eventually break through. Even though it is difficult. In Denver I would worry less about road conditions than other drivers.

You are going to make this.... Just like TAZ on an energy drink.... LOL

Hey MG, sorry to hear of your loss. I'm glad you got a new gig. I was just wondering yesterday where you'd gone.

I could tell you stories about Denver drivers, commuted to there from the Springs many years ago,, and the new laws haven't made it any better. I'll bet at least 1/6 and probably more like 1/4 are impaired...and they drive like it. I'll be there over Thanksgiving, driving very carefully.

Wish you the best!

Damn Mountain Girl. Your awsomeness is... well... Awesome!

No one will feel your loss the way you do, that is for sure.

Welcome back! I know when I check in and read your encouraging and funny posts I can smile and roll on. Congrats on the new job and keep on keepin` on.

MG...definitely have missed your posts on here. So sorry about your brother...losing family is the WORST. Keep your head up....I am positive just knowing you through your posts that you'll do great on your new venture!! Best wishes for success!
