A few of the older members on here will remember me and some of you are on my Facebook friends list. I was and still am Pat Hasler, I quit after some cross words with a few on here. I have come back to say that after so many years I am grateful for all the friends who have stood by me, during my illness. I will try not to get into arguments with any of you, to be honest that sort of stress could kill me.
Merry Christmas

Hi Pat, nice to see you again.

It's been several years since you have graced these portals and, as that is the case, may I ask that you have a read of the site rules linked on the beige header above. I don't need to show you the way around the forums, as they haven't changed, and you know where they are.

We still try to keep the arguments in the forums to a dull roar and prefer that any topics that are controversial and/or heated topics be kept in the Take It Outside forum.

Sorry to hear that you have been ill but clean that you are on the mend. Enjoy yourself.

Rita

PS I know JerseyGirl will be around to ask about resuming your old nick.

Thanks Rete, I read the rules, I have mellowed quite a bit, sadly I am not 'on the mend' as you put it, I have a rare blood cancer that as yet has no known cure, I underwent chemo for a while and it was not working, I am currently on a trial drug which seemed to keep things under control and did reduce my nasty cells but has since slowed down and those cells are increasing once more, I have been told not to worry, they will try something else but as the current treatment has a cost of $16k a month (obviously not paid for by me) I dread to think what the next option is going to cost ?
I have missed quite a few of you.

PAAAAT...it is so good to hear from you.

I am very sorry to hear of your illness...I had no idea.

Thank you JG, it's good to see you are excited to hear from me
I still drive a truck and most of the time I am actually in New Jersey and often think of you x

That's all you can do now is think of her in NJ as she has left the US to take up residency in Canada.

Glad you are still driving and is it still for my favorite ice cream manufacturer? If so, I know that still brings you to Yonkers where you won't find me as I've moved to Mississippi.

My other post to you has disappear but sorry to read of your blood cancer. Prays for a cure and that science has a quick break through for you.

Well then I will think of her when I am in Canada, I deliver to Toronto, Montreal and Truro NS sometimes. My favourite city in the world is Toronto

I still deliver to the Vermont ice cream factory
I also run to Coca Cola in Ohio, Other ice cream factory's in MD and other states.

Pat being as you are an old BE member I have moved your thread into the Trailer Park forum.

Don't kill yourself. That'll do your head in.

Hey Pat. You can argue with me if you like I don't take BE too seriously and never turn people in to the authorities.

Hi Pat

Hello Pat. You were around right when I first discovered BE and joined but I'm not sure I actually had an interaction with you but I remember your posts nonetheless.

Hi Mate

Yep, I remember most of you, I am typing this laying on a king size bed in a very posh hotel on Dartmoor, Devon, we flew over on Boxing Day to surprise my sister next day, didn't tell a soul so she had no idea we were on our way.
Traffic has got far worse over here, it took 7 hours to driver from Heathrow to Newton Abbott,
