quatorze 1 #1 December 18, 2004 For all you pervs, no there are no pics. She threw something at me night before last as we were leaving my Dept Christmas party that I wanted to share. For almost five years I have been wanting to go to WFFC, even before we were married, but other things have come up. Even this year, with house payments, car payments and all the other odds and ends that I put before my second love so that I can give my first love the life/home that I promised, I had decided that I would be in Rantoul only in spirit and the website. But last Thusday night I was told that I was going, no matter what, that the renovations on the house could wait and that I had done enough for everyone else, now it was time for me to hold back some money and go. Now this may not be a big deal to a lot of you out there that are better off then we are, but let me remind you that I am a firefighter and she is a nurse, both good careers, but neither of us will ever be rich. It meant a lot to me that she has been thinking about this for a month or so and worried about me, enough that I wanted to share. Alas, I will probably break her heart, since I know as well as anyone else that responsiblities don't take a weak off and I have never been one to shirk my duties. But until that nasty beast rears its head, is any one in South Carolina going and would like to split gas?

2fat2fly 0 #2 December 18, 2004 We'll find a way to get you there-I don't know if I'll drive up or not. I may do like last year and go straight from the Oshkosh air show, but if I come home-you're welcome to ride with me. If not, I know enough people driving up that we can get you a ride.I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyangel2 2 #5 December 18, 2004 QuoteI was told that I was going That is great news. You will have a lot of fun. Quoteis any one in South Carolina going and would like to split gas? It might be kind of early to get people to commit to a ride share, and this post will surly be lost by the time WFFC comes around. But I'm sure come Summer when the WFFC is closer, if you post again, you might find someone that is heading that way. In the mean time, there are two articles one written by Bill Von Novak and one written by Gary Peek that you might find some great information. Also there are plenty of people that post here that have been attending for years and years, and if you have any questions just ask.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quatorze 1 #7 December 18, 2004 I don't want to, but there are a lot of things in this world that I want to do but can't in good conscience, the thing is I want to but if things don't change around here in the next few months and I was to go how guilty would I feel, about being there and not using the funds/time to improve things here I'm not afriad of dying, I'm afraid of never really living- Erin Engle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmanpilot 0 #8 December 18, 2004 Dude, got to the wffc, even if only for a few days and even if you only get to do it once, it's a great experience. But even if you don't get to go for a few more years,......keep that wife of yours, she does sound awesome._________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

PhillyKev 0 #16 December 20, 2004 If you're generally a responsibly guy and aren't in the habit of blowing your time and cash, then you need to do this kind of thing every once in a while. Life's too short, man. And your wife WANTS you to do it. She loves you and it will give her happiness and satisfaction to see you take advantage of the opportunity. Do it for her and do it for yourself. If you're not a slacker than you deserve to treat yourself on occasion. Every one does. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
