Same here. I have wanted to give up countless times, but it always seemed 
that God had a plan for me. I imagine that is true for everyone on this 
list. I do know that most of the folks on this list are a lot tougher than I 
am.  Willis

Thanks Dana,
I worked hard for what I did - no harder than most people here  tho.   You
just keep going no matter how many rejections you  get.  Never quit, never 
give
up.  Now,.... I need a rest.
Dave

d for you Dave. I could retire next year, but I'm shooting for 4  more
years, which would make 30. I never thought I would live this long,  much
less work this long. My worry is what to do after  retirement.

Good for you  Dave. I could retire next year, but I'm shooting for 4 more
