    It says on the top of my screen that I haven't posted lately so I think its time. On 12-08-07 we were rear ended while at a light in our '98 Escort. I was angry but no one was hert. I am waiting to see if they will fix my car. Its questionable. On Sunday, 12-09-07, next day, I went to the hospital with congestive heart failer, not related to the accedent. There were many complacations and I now know the meaning of scare. I'm home now recovering. I have a ways to go but I know I will be OK or better. This year for Christmas, I recieve the very best gift, God has given me another chance and I will never look at life the same again. Mabe I will see ya next year. I'll be driving my white Maverick Grabber. Marry Christmas and happy 2008 to all of you! The 19th is my birthday. I'm happy to see 51. Joe

    I was there too. Heart attack at 38, with no reason for it. You are so correct, it changes your whole outlook on life. Live it to the fullest!

    I've had a few friends have heart attacks this year, scared me, and still makes me think about things differently.
    Take care Joe, and hope all goes well!!

    Glad your still with us!
    I had a scare on 11/29, I was having chest pains and the ambulance took me to spend the day at the hospital. Went through a bunch of tests, I was happy to find out it wasn't my heart. They say acid reflux but I blame it on the stress.

    Wishing you a early Happy Birthday!!

    Joe, I hate to hear this. I am glad you have another chance, I too have been down that road. Never looked at life the same since. You are in my prayers.
