RobbieG Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I just wanted to thank RWG and the great membership for providing me another fantastic year of enjoyment. For this middle aged workaholic (that is not a bad thing - I love my work) the interaction here is a Godsend for what can sometimes be an intensely boring game of waiting and playing cat and mouse. I have 10 active monitors in the three computers and three discrete connections here at my trade desk and one of them is permanently set to RWG - THE ONE SMACK IN THE MIDDLE! Guess that says where my priorities are. LOL. But in all seriousness, I hold my membership and my freindships here very dearly and I just wanted to say with all my heart what a pleasure it has been getting to know many of you over the years. I know, I know, kinda mushy - and I haven't even started drinking yet. New Years Resolutions? For me there are three: -First is to continue to travel more with my lovely wife to be and turn the reigns over to my #1 more and more so I can enjoy the fruits while I'm still alive -Second is to continue to refine my watch collection and remained settled on just a few world class pieces -Third is to make my RWG posts even longer than ever... I wish all of you a healthy and happy and wealthy 2009. Now let's hear your resolutions too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Thanks for the New Year wishes, Robbie - I have two resolutions myself: 1. Live healthier 2. Control my spending habits (cough cough... easy on the rep-related purchases!) Happy New Year everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubu Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Happy New Year to all! Never make new years resolutions. Usually do not keep them. If it is important to me I try to Start Today. Really enjoy RWG and this community. Have been wearing my RWG ring in hopes of running into a fellow member. May we continue to give love and support to each other!

cht Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Resolutions: - Fall in love is done...only missing her green light to get toghether lol, Stephane, this made me chuckle. I think I can relate! My resolutions are to lose more weight and get fitter, to buy less junk, and to be a better person. Happy 2009, muchachos And to the guys wanting to get healthier, I wish you the best! Remember to encourage eachother, find a fitness buddy or someone to do it with you. You'll be amazed how much it helps having a partner. And they are easy to find! I like the last part of your resolution TJ, I think this is my goal. I find everyday I have so much to learn about being a better person. Thank you RWG and the people here for giving me a hobby which I truly enjoy and brings me excitement. (and gives me a great break from my graduate program!) HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVERYONE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, being a better person is mandatory. We all must try hard to be better. But, and this is a revelation to me, being in love is an essential state. I thought I have been in love ...several times. I won't enter the details but I was in love only one time...with an angel in the early 80ies and we shared a fantastic couple of years. Our common life was very special. It took us 25 years to realise it and now we're in deep shit as she ain't single at the moment. But we know the love story isn't gone...and wonder why we needed 25 years to understand it. So, that is where we are at so far. I doubt it will stay like that though...life is long, and we're only 48. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justasgood Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Great post. The only resolution for me at the moment is to keep plowing ahead. As my watch collection dwindles, I unfortunately will be shifting my time and focus. I have made some very great friends and hopefully helped a few folks here and there. For those of you who have my personal email, feel free to reach out if there is anything I can do to help. To the rest of this family, new and old, be kind, treat each other well and if you don't know it yet you will soon come to realize.............You won't find a better group of people who, having never met you, will be there for you through good times and bad.......at least they have been for me. God Bless each and every one of you and thanks for being here for me. And now, I sign off and brace myself for whatever 2009 has in store for me and my family. Kurt aka justasgood......Peace to all.

RobbieG Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Kurt we should be asking if there is anything we can do for you. I'm so sorry the hand life has dealt you at the moment, but it will get better. It always does. Man, I grew up poor trash with no running water, terrible stepfather, eating grown tomatoes for days on end and splittng wood for heat to survive in the far north. I used an old down coat for a pillow cause I didn't have one. No joke. Somehow, I got lifted up and out and ended up in college in a big city, got educated and eventually owning a successful business. YOUR miracle is out there man. I'm living proof. I'm supposed to have no teeth, a drinking problem and be living in a tent if my past had anything to say about it. I only wish I had something for you to do in my company and I would hire you in a second just for the hell of it. I mean that I really do. But what I do is so specialized there is no way I could make it work unless you were already a great trader or programmer. But just know in sprirt that I am pulling for you and I'm sure many more are here too. You have a good heart and are a giving person and we can tell you love your family. Something is going to break for you I can feel it. Just be creative and keep at it. Knock on EVERY door and forget the paper. Press the flesh. Kind spirits find other kind spirits that way. If you need to vent PM or Skype me and I'm usually within earshot and I'll be happy to listen. Happy New Year brother. Chin up. R Great post.

Justasgood Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 See what I mean.....pay attention noobs and others......you won't find this kind of thing in too many places much less in individuals. Thank you for the kind words.............and the offer.......funny, I actually did my time on a main frame way back when.....IBM SYS 36, SYS 38 and eventually the future of computing.....the AS400 Mostly programmed using RPG and other basics COBALT etc....but I am a Salesman by nature and a horrible business man.....I tend to concern myself with customer satisfaction rather than company profit......not a good combo....but hey, my customers love me I have vowed to take my hands off the wheel and enjoy the ride....after all, it is by "His" design so who am I to question why.
