Title: Wham!!!!!! And he's out!!!
Post by: PETE314 on 09/30/2018 08:23 PM

This is a little late in coming... We didn't check our mail right away... But when we did...I got a very unexpected surprise.  A tremendous shout out to shakinghorizons and headfirst!!!! 

 Due to recent medival expenses...I have been on a buying freeze...but I was interested in some A.Flores sticks headfirst was selling.  It's alright...if I miss them...as a long time Cigar man...I know they will come around again somewhere .somehow.  So I just mentioned that if he still had the sticks next month...I would be interested...

 Little did I know....there was a conspiracy going on...lol...shakinghorizons went and purchased those lovely sticks and had them sent to me... headfirst then went and added a few more!!!...I am a huge La Aroma de Cuba fan...and an even bigger pimp for Arturo Fuente...the Flor Finas are wonderful.  Not to mention a slightly bigger A. Flores...lol. Colin and Gary just knocked it out of the park.

 Guys I REALLY appreciate you doing this...what a great reminder of what a first class group of people we have hear...it means very much to me.  Just know that I have a bad habit of reciprocating in kind...lol

 On a side note..I am progressing very well from the surgery.(beginning of May)  It is never as fast as I would like.  They really cut me open...no laproscopy this time...so my issue at the moment is neurpathic pain...they cut through a bunch of nerves...and it is going to take a while for it to improve...months maybe years....But here is the real good news...we scanned this week instead of December...we thought we might see something that would be causing the pain...while we did not see anything in that light....there was also something else we could not see....cancer....my scans are CLEAR!!!!  My blood clot is also gone...so I can have a beer again!!!!

 Cigars...no cancer...I can have a beer again....Life is good!!!  Thank you so much for the sticks guys...they will be disposed of in the most honorable of fashions...lol

Enjoy sir, it's the least I could do with the medical issues you've had! Next time be careful what you post in a FS thread, lmao.

All Colin's idea Pete, just couldn't resist poking around your profile to see what else you might like.  Hope the nerve pain subsides soon.

Glad to hear all the medical issues ended with some good news.  While not as serious, my girlfriend is dealing with the nerve issues from a recent neck surgery she had, it's rough when you can't really do anything about that, cause the pain is the healing.

On a side note, how do y'all work out sending bombs?  Is there an address list somewhere?  I haven't noticed where to see it when viewing someone else's profile.

Members can put their address in their profile, some do and some don't.  I think those addresses are only viewable by members with a certain amount of rank or something to protect that info a little bit.

That's a good point about the address being visible - I keep mine private mainly because of all of the spammers that we see on here. If they can get in and spam, then I don't want them seeing my address

And I DEFINITELY don't want Gary seeing my address  :angry:  :angry:  :angry:  :smoker2:

Thanks for the info.  That makes sense, no reason to let spammers see the addresses or anything...  I wonder if there's details anywhere on the threshold you have to reach, or if you need to do a validation trade...
