Re: how old is everyone here ?
My name is Ray, and I have been a boating addict for the past 39 years, ever since the age of 2 when I would get to steer my dads 14 foot cris craft ( I was reading at 18 months, yes I remember being two, I forget chit from 2pm, but I remember being two!!!!<br /><br />the 30 second bio on me, crushed in an accident in 87, broke two vertebrae, on my back two years, (bed ridden)gained tremendous amount of weight due to incapacitation without reduction in intake, AND a deepening case of sleep apnea that was slowly killing me<br /><br />was caught barely in time, and I woke up in a 850 plus pound body<br /><br />wanna talk about nightmares, kids?<br /><br />couldnt walk at first, but kept at it at it at it, to the door, then down the steps by the end of the first month I was able to make it to the end of the driveway, three months I was going around the block, after three years I got a mountain bike and of course, during all this time I was on a high fiber low fat diet<br /><br />Stephen King dont know a THING about horror ... I take that back, NOW he does, since he got bashed up, but he still dont know what I know!<br /><br />500 pounds later, nearly finished with the bachelors degreee in psychology, accumulating honors along the way<br /><br />I traded in my nationwide harem of girlfriends to settle down with one, becoming an instant daddy along the way, Liz and her daughter Rachael<br /><br />(I do miss the excitement of my earlier internet years, but the airports are a drag and especially NOW with all this terrorist crap, eh, the juggling gets a bit tedious!)<br /><br />
