As a forum noob I have gained tremendous wisdom and insight from many of the regulars here. I will definitely be setting up camp and continue to learn from the wisdom (and wisecracks!) shared. To that end, here's my first contribution to the global conversation. I hope all of you have an amazing 2020!

The following message has been floating around social media with no attribution. So I have taken the liberty to add to the message. Hope you enjoy.

Welcome to Flight #2020. We are prepared to take off into the New Year. Please make sure your Attitude, Priorities and Blessings are secured and locked in an upright position. All self-destructive devices should be turned off at this time. All negativity, hurt, regret, discontentment and discouragement should be put away. Should we lose Altitude under pressure during the flight, reach up and pull down a Prayer. Prayers will automatically be activated by Faith. Once your Faith is activated, you can assist other passengers. There will be NO BAGGAGE allowed on this flight. The Captain has cleared us for takeoff. Destination GREATNESS!

May you have good health, great prosperity, and much happiness in 2020 and beyond! 🇨🇮

You as well Southern Smoke... [ram27bat]

Should have held off until Sunday.

Welcome Southern Smoke -
it’s great to have you here.

But please, no more posts...

(chuckle)

Wow! It sounds like you still have hopes and dreams! Don't worry...we'll beat that outta you in due time.

I sort of concluded that from izonfire’s post!

where there's (southern) smoke, there's (izon) fire

I think Frank wake n baked too!

Hey, it looks as if you're an avid fisherman if your avatar picture is any indication... so if so, you're already alright in my estimation.

Yes indeed, welcome to the asylum.

I definitely enjoy fishing...I try to squeeze in a minimum of 1-2 trips per week (weather permitting!). I was lucky enough to marry a beautiful Latino gal who loves to eat fish (so I almost never get any grief about going) AND enjoys the aroma of a fine cigar! MIL will even join me for an occasional smoke.

Now you're just bragging. Welcome and I salute you from my hand carved cave on the back 40 where my better half won't be disturbed by the smoke
