About Me
I have Diabetes T2, depression, anxiety, ADD, probably some bipolar, and discovering a few other issues as time goes on. I am a country boy at heart; grew up in New England. Living in Florida for over 20 years and I still wish it would snow instead of hurricane. I married and have one daughter and 2 granddaughters, and 2 cats. I love to make people laugh and smile. I come and go on this site, so pardon my absence at times.
