Hats Off

SmokeyJoe · 12-15-2009, 09:50 AM

Already 3,453 as of right now. Just shows that CA is the place to be!

The community here is the most wonderful, compassionate, generous and fun place I have ever been fortunate enough to be a part of. It is the members who make it what it is...the TOE just tried to ensure that we would never lose that sense of community to a commercial venture. I feel fortunate to be here with all of you.

TOE + Inmates = perfection

Thanks to all.

For the creation of the site - my hats off to the TOE.

For making it what it is - my hats off to all y'all.

OK, so sometimes things grab me and I must put it out there in some form of verse. This thread did just that. It isn't much and it surely isn't good, but it is...

As I sit and ponder
another passing year
the ups the downs
the good the bad
the friends that I made here
help make it all
so livable
as burdens
we can share
the pains
the hurts
and anguish
together do we bear.

But lest we be discouraged
in happiness is found
another reason
why dear friends
the sticks get passed around.

So grab a chair
a drink
a match
and strike it bold and true,
light up that smoke
and raise your glass
for I am toasting you.

Wow. So bad it was a thread killer. Ouch!

I knew he was going to say that!
