Old bus drivers don't retire they retread

But then what do old Community Managers do???


This old coot is retiring at the end of the month/year.

30 years with the school kids and 15 with internet goobers.
It's time to spoil the dogs even more and I plan to find every state, county, metro and city park I can in the area and let them ENJOY!

I am grateful for the opportunity MrSD and the team gave me when they brought me on as the first CM. I've learned so much and had some interesting experiences. Zip-lining in Vegas, go karts, etc and it has been fun meeting many of the mods when they visited the office back in the day.


I am looking forward to be set free in this lounge again Evillaugh

Hah

Ok well the first couple of weeks kinda suck since the bulging disc in my back has been acting up a TON and I've been in a lot of pain. Going to see if it's better by the end of next week and if not I'll likely be facing another #%%^~|{€*?|}%^ surgery blah.

No, NO, NO! No more surgery, not for Schoobs, just plain old NO!
VF is strongly opposed to surgery unless there is no alternative.

Sorry you've been in pain. hug Have you tried a tens machine? I only just learned about them a month or so ago. What about CBD (non-psychoactive)?
