    The last 7 months of my life has sucked donkey balls. Epically tough.
    I know UF football isn’t where we want it. I know there are other posters that have it worse than me.
    But this message board has proven a respite for me. Thank you to all!

    Sorry to hear that!~ I'm not sure what you are suffering through, but if you desire to dialogue it a bit, I'm always willing to help. I was put on this earth for a purpose and one of them is to make the time to listen to peoples truths, without judgement, whatever they may be. You are welcome to PM me- if you so chose. I'm no seer or saint, but I do care.

    This board is a bigger part of my life than I'd like to admit, and I find it a great place to come for a laugh. Sometimes I laugh at what people say, sometimes I laugh at them. Sometimes I laugh at how engaged we all are around Gator ball. Weather you're an alum or a fan or both, Gator Nation has always been something special. You can be anywhere in the world and see someone in Gator Garb and have an instant connection.

    I too am grateful for this site and the folks that frequent it and the Gator Nation that compels us to engage.

    Go Gators.:)

    I can probably find you a blue heeled puppy if you really want one. Some people around here raise them. Of course, like everything else they’re expensive.

    There are not many places like this, in cyber space or in the real world. We may occasionally get a bit side-ways here and there, but we never lose sight of our common bond as Gators and as decent human beings. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and travails and for giving us the opportunity to come together as friends. May God bless you and keep you strong.
