Default Hi From Virginia

Hey all, My name is Rich I am 55 yrs. old my wife Kathy of 35 years live in Blacksburg Virginia, and have 3 children, the eldest James his wife and 2 children are stationed at Ft. Bragg NC., our second child Chris and his wife and 4 children live 20 minutes away, and our youngest (my angel) her husband and our youngest grand daughter also live 20 minutes away. I have complex sleep apnea, severe arthritis, and peripheral polyneuropathy (both sural nerves are dead) and depression (denied until 2010) I'm medically retired. My wife Kathy is a stage three hodgkins disease survivor from 1991 by the grace of God. Other that the love of family time I had a great passion for riding my bike a 1999 Vulcan Nomad, sailing, and being in the outdoors, sence my conditions are trying to take control of my life I have adjusted my focus on life spending time on my favorite passtime spending time with my family, and a quest for a better quality of life for all through knowledge. this is the first time trying something like this (last night I missed up trying to send this message twice and lost it because not logged in) also my hand eye coordination is messed up and takes a while to type this but lesson learned. I also feel this will help with my depression having someone to talk to who knows what I am going through (great therapy). Thank You for your time Rich!!

Welcome to NT

You can submit your message in parts, like type a thought or two, submit. Open your message back up in "EDIT" and write another thought or two, submit. Open in "EDIT"...


We do understand.

Most everyone here stuggles to type and we do it anyway.

Mistakes aren't looked upon harshly. You won't be graded on any errors. We get it most the time. If it's something we can't understand, we'll ask for clarification. I too make lots of mistakes and see it later and just say, "well, I must've been bad off that day." :-)

You can be yourself and just take your time, one key at a time.

It'll be ok...

Eastern Kentucky, land between the lakes.

Morganfield.... not close to here. Must be Western Kentuck...
