I thank you my brother for your service.
I went into the ARMY in early 1973. I remember in boot the Drill Sargent was saying how it didnt matter what MOS you had, you was headed to NAM. My MOS training took me well into 1974. By then US was actively sending troops home and I went to Germany instead.

Unfortunately I did not have the smarts or the drive at that point. I was too young for the system to want to deal with and home was not an option. I went coast to coast 6 times and slept wherever I could. Lived under a bridge in BC, in a junkie infested room in Edmonton, in abandoned houses and buildings in Toronto. Wherever I could find where I would not freeze to death. Was not until I ended up with kids that I had to start focusing on what was important. For good or bad all those things made me who I am so I would not change them.
Through all of that I still ended up out of likes agian

I was still kinda crazy/wild when the wife and me met n got together. But after a few years together she got pregnant…THAT’S when I did the 180 degree turnaround. I was damn well gonna make sure I was around to help raise my 3 sons!
edit… strange how having kids can change a man, huh? So, for 36 years now, I’ve been a ‘new man’. Damn, has it been that long!?
wow, I only wasted half my life then!

Hear hear, amazing how that responsibility can change even the most stubborn people. When I started my turn I was off my 2 year homeless stint with a grade 9 education. Took a long time go get schooling done while working and build a career. Than a broken back got me shifting to another path. Now I have a good life but it was a tough road to hoe. I would imagine most have their stories to tell. Nobody get’s out of this life unscathed.

Good for you man. What a change huh? I get it. I grew up in the 60’s and early 70’s in some of the roughest parts of Boston. Roxbury & Dorchester. White boys were not in high regard in those neighborhoods back then. We were dirt poor but we at least had a roof and a bed. Commodity Welfare food was common.
When i see stories like yours, gotta tip my hat man. You, like me, made it in life. Maybe not in riches. But we made it to be good people.

I never had a kid pull my drag chute. I just got to the point where I needed to make a decision and if I didn’t make it when I did I’m not sure I would still be here today.

Although, I got to say…those things are the personal choice of each individual. I’ve seen/know a lot of guys that aren’t good people or parents…

Yeah brother, if a person what’s it bad enough and is willing to put in the work things can be accomplished. I will never be rich financially but with 2 grown kids and a wonderful wife I cannot complain.

I ain’t got much, but everything I have is paid for in full, even if it is po folks stuff, 3 great sons, and a simply grand wife! Plenty of weed to grow and smoke…and still above the daisies, so I’m happy!
edit… even better, I didn’t have to shit on anyone to get where I am, so that’s a plus since I do believe in Karma! lol

It gave me one like back to post on that one. In another 5 years ish I will be able to say the same. Have no savings or pension but I do have my retirement home paid for and my day to day home at the end of the mortgage. That house will be sold and money banked for my retirement when the time comes. Will be enough for my wife and I to be happy.

Who needs ‘rich’? lol Oh sure, money is nice to have, but, it’s not as good as a rich life I say. I’ve had money, lots of it, when I was dealing bigtime all over. Hell, that ain’t no fun really. Always worrying about someone trying to get over on ya, etc. Having to look over your shoulder, waiting on’ theman’ to knock on the door… you know the drill
edit… old song goes ‘see these teeth that I aint got, and these knots on my bald head? I guarantee ya boys, I didn’t get em there, a lying home in a bed’
I can testify to the fact that my life is a helluva lot better and happier now than back then!

I am not rich either by any means. Not financially. I have an outstanding woman who puts up with me. My home is paid off. I have a couple late model autos, paid for. I really nice GoldWing motorcycle. Paid for. I owe nobody. It’s a nice feeling. And I never fucked one person to make a good living. I’ve had several fuck me over the years and they got away with it. But not once did I ever stab anyone in the back.

Onto another subject…
I’m pretty sure there’ll be seeds of all kinds being sent out to you folks in the near future lol currently I have going several projects;
1.I have a male White Widow that I’ve just harvested the pollen pods from and will be dusting several strains with.
2.I hit the PPP dust on 3 strains, King Tut, Chemdawg, and Sour D so there’s a good bit of seeds there.
3.The reversal project is coming along, I’ve started harvesting pollen pods from the White Rhino, and the Frankenstein, Sour D, and Skunk#! are starting to show some pods, soon to be harvested. , seeds there with same strain as well as crosses.
4. One of the Pink Panama Autos is a male so I’m gonna let nature take it’s course and leave it with the other PPs and the Snowryder autos, there’ll be some nice seeds/crosses.
So be on the lookout, folks! There’ll be seeds coming down the road!
