I'm glad to see some names I remember, and I hope everyone fighting our disease is doing well. I'll try and make this brief, because as I said a while back this forum isn't for me. Out of the blue after a practical joke received wrong on a coworker I sat down and said "I wonder if that one cf forum is still up", saw the allie thread, got a little giggle out of it all and tried to log in and reply, fully expecting to still be banned like I was for a long time. I guess Bill wiped the IP ban list, because now my regular non masked IP is allowed again. I thought that was funny so said HI, etc. I've been doing custom protection for a large corporation, and just recently got changed from a SUCKY schedule to a real sweet one. I just (today actually) got a call from a particular law enforcement agency for an interview. The hours (12 hour shifts, graveyard) will suck but it's an amazing opportunity for me to get my foot in the door, and after a while eventually go for the scholarship program. This current job has allowed me to cut a ton of fat off my body. Not like I was way fat before or anything, but sitting around and only doing weights at the gym and eating whatever and drinking beer = my 5'11 solid frame got up to about 220 lbs. It wasn't all muscle either <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">
I'm now down to 185 lbs and I now officially "have no ass" as my lady says, but thats good, it's all fat that went bye bye. I'm still on the OO inhaled, but due to my sinus headaches getting worse, and me being stable, I switched to one month on/one month off for the first time this month, with occasional oral drops of the regular OO. As for other supplements - and this is the bad part about me being perma banned, I couldnt share this info with anyone except for an occasional post from Ender - I have been on strong natural antiinflammatories, antioxidants, and various phytochemical plant based supplements. I guess my logical approach to it made sense, because I feel great. I have also been using Herbal Snuff (dip) while at work and it gives me tons of energy too (it's tobacco/nicotine free, mostly mint, cornsilk, and some other herbs).
I had applied to several different sources, private and state/federal associated, but regardless what anyone will tell you, and i'm sure many here already know this, prejudice (non racial) still exists in droves in the hiring process. Have a large gap of unemployment due to disability? Welcome to a world of S*it! I've had a few real low points since we last communicated, including the tragic death of my real close friend since my teens, my dog can't walk and requires 1500 bucks (atleast) for surgery, and some other bad times. Aside from all that, due to the good news today, i'm walking on sunshine!
Thank you for your concern, it's good to see most are still alive and doing well. It also gives me a chuckle that apparently you guys did just fine on your own without me in the stupid drama dept. Santa? LOLZ!

And that's about it. Still contemplating children after my work status becomes much more stable. I wish you guys the best. Sorry that wasn't all that "brief", but some asked (also in PM's) so I filled in. Take care guys.
