Hi! I'm Lilycat, both a lurker and a newbie here! Thought I would start posting because these boards look like fun. I am yet another voracious reader with wide ranging tastes, and yes a member on the other side as someone else so nicely put it! Having about the same success (or lack therof) as a lot of other people are having, but it is kind of fun to try it out!
Welcome Lilycat! Hopefully you've touched base with our Customer Care team? They really can be helpful, like I said earlier in the thread -- give them a shout!

Welcome, Dixon -- tell us a bit about yourself!

Hi Lori,

I had to retire from the RAAC (Royal Australian Armoured Corps) about 10 years ago Due to getting a terminal version of cancer and being told I had less than 12 months to live, I have since beaten the cancer. Unfortunately it was at a very high cost, my wife left me and took the kids with her, I have lost all of my investments except for my car, my house and it's contents.

However I have learnt something very important from all of this, and that is to remain positive no matter what happens to you. If we focus on the positive things in our life and in our future then everything else becomes insignificant and life becomes a lot easier to live.

The most positive thing in my life at the moment is my new girlfriend, I never thought during the last 10 years of my life that I would end up with an inteligent, beautiful, funny and drop dead gorgeous 20 year old girlfriend. Yet here I am still alive and well and looking forward to a long and very exciting relationship with the woman of my dreams.

I am very sadened to hear what happened to my American Armoured Corps brothers this morning at Fort Wood, Texas. So many good men dead and so many families left wondering what the hell is going on in this crasy world, my heart goes out to them all and I offer my prayers to them.

I believe that if we all focus on a positive future then things will change forthe better.

Cheers and good fortune to you all.
Captain Phatt.
What an amazing story! I'm glad that your survived your cancer and that you have since found new love.

And I am so, so saddened by the events at Fort Hood yesterday. The soldiers and their familys are very much in my thoughts since that tragic news broke. :'(

Glad you are here Captain!
