I'm a pilot in the Marine Corps, and I must say, it's hard enough with two legs...

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

This place truly is group therapy!! I think what it all boils down to (using Dr Phils words) is... you had the ability in you to do this all along.. we just provided a vehicle for you to take yourself where you needed to be in life.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
