Hey! You tagged more than 10 people! :joy:

I think that must be a mod privilege… membership has to have its benefits, after all!

While I’m here, let me say again - hugely grateful for you and all you do and are. :pray: :orange_heart:

Actually, I think as long as you put @ and type the name in yourself it works. It doesn’t pull the name up. Or…cuz I am a mod. :upside_down_face: If you try, let me know. And thank you. :blush:

My 7th year was in 1991 and while we had some financial issues then, I wasn’t urging to drink. New York ad a 2nd chance scratch off lottery drawing, and I was mailing in $1 losing scratchoff tickets. No email or electronic entry back then.

Well I came home one Friday from a tough work week and found a VM on the phone machine saying I was a winner in that drawing. Called back, it was indeed a NYS Lottery #, but the office had closed for the weekend.

Called my wife, then my sponsor, gave them the news, and anxiously got thru the w/e. Called the lotto office early Monday to find out I was the grand prize winner of either a souped up Jeep or $25,000. Opted for the money, we paid off debts and bought a ‘91 Civic. Didnt’ drink over my good fortune, and have been financially secure since then.
