Ok..

Mods..please leave this thread up for a bit before you move it so readers can read.

I have been here for about 10 years.

Before that I did hand to hand posting on the Old Dallas Morning News postinga for the Cowboys.

That would be another 10 years.

Whew.

I say this because some posters seem to want to criticize me for my posts..

I have no problem with that.

But I get stuff about my spacing..

Double spacing..

3 years ago I had a major stroke and spent 6 months recovering.

I had brain surgery and it was touch and go.

I contracted pneumonia twice and had to go back to intensive care for a week each time.

I went from 220lbs to 150 during my stay.

Could not eat as everything tasted like metal becuz I had so many drugs in me.

I suffered kidney failure and lost one of my kidneys.

I have high BP and take 17 medications a day to control my issues.

I ended up with diabetes and inject insulin.

I have glaucoma and it's hard to read typing for me.

So to help it..I double space so I can read what I post.

Some of you have complained but I addressed the double spacing with the heads of the site..Winicki, Hostile and Brainpaint and they agreed it's OK with the double spacing.

They did not know.

I am permanently disabled now but I overcome it best I can.

I obviously am a long time and loyal fan of this team.

My family has owned 4 season tickets since 1965 to today.

They are on the 20 yard line below the pressbox in ATT Stadium.

At an average cost of over $4000/ yr. plus parking and food..

I and my brothers have put our money where our mouths are for years to be here.

That's it.

If I offend you guys..

very sorry.

But please stop all the silly comments about posting you think need my English teacher needs to see.

I am 65 years old. Hope that does not offend the younger fans who know everything and will tell you.

Haha.

Thanks for your time.

You guys are the best.

My prediction..

Dallas 45-Colts 17.

We will be NFC Champs in 2 days.

Who would have thought this?

Show of hands?

Me mum says we can help you cross the street anytime ya want ya big lug.

She offered to help you chew your steak for you but I told her that was not on the table.

. . .

To bring a smile to your old face, here is a joke.

2 peanuts went for a walk in South Oak Cliff.

They were assaulted.

Ha-ha!

I am here for you, matey!

to the OP, was never bothered by the double spacing...now, the english teachers in here that feel the need to "correct" you had better look in the mirror...but for you redball? you keep on keeping on...

now, the only thing that irks me is when people have to write books....my God, this is a forum to discuss ideas and have some fun, not have to spend 15 minutes JUST reading one post...when I see that, I just move on...

I can't stand the grammar Mafia it's not like we're righting news articles that need to be proof read it's just a freaking post get over it
Personally poor grammar doesnt bother me in the least Its the lack of puncuation drives me nuts It makes me have to read a post two or three times to figure out what the poster is trying to say Its a simple courtesy on forums to make your posts readable Were trying to get our points across to other members after all. :)

Edited:

:starspin:Thanks for sharing. I admire your determination to maintain your interests despite the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
The double spacing doesn't bother me. I figured there was a good reason for it.
I find your posts to be interesting and thought provoking.
Keep it up!
And, thanks for the inspiration. There is no greater power than self empowerment.
:clap:
