Coming up on one year
« on: February 11, 2013, 04:12:43 am »
WWWWOOOOWWWW What a roller coaster.... First off yessssss I will use 4 letter words........ sorry.  On that note HIV you are a mother fuckin bitch....  Now that that is out of the way.  I would like to say thank you all for all the support that you have given. I have been from AIDS til feeling great in less than 12 months.  The reason is great meds and all the battles that have been fought by those before me... I hope that I can pay it forward.  I pray that I live to see the day when HIV is not an issue and less of a health threat than the flu...  again thanks for your support and kind works.  Peace Shane

Dawg:

Congratulations on doing so well, and as someone that is only eight months in I have similar sediments.  Well said.

Peace to you too,

Although the extra "0" is likely a typo, I also see the extra "0" as an outward manifestation of GaDawg's internal will to live a long life given his "good news!".

Now, excuse me as I go and change into my other earth tone colored mudcloth caftan with the lace fringe and clean the feathers in my headdress.

 :D ;)
