Interesting background Space and deep respect for sharing.




Well, I am Tadd, 60 years old and work (Sorta) as a Senior Computer Programmer/ Analyst - EDI Specialist. I have a
bachelor's degree in Business Information Technology


My wife (Ronda) and I met on the internet 16 years ago. I was living in Santa Cruz Ca. and she lived in Mason MI (Near Lansing). I moved back to Michigan in 1999 to be with her. We got married in Vegas September 26th 2000


This is Ronda's and my third marriage and it looks like third time is a charm


We took in my 97 year old mother two and a half years ago to care for her. She moved here from Tucson. My Wealthy sister and brother-in-law who also live in Tucson were unwilling to take her in and wanted to place her in a home at that time. Ronda was the one to step up to the plate and insist that mom move in with us. Mom's condition has vastly deteriorated since then and It's been a challenge for sure.




I have one Daughter (Renee) and one step-son (hate that term) (Zach) Zach calls me dad and I call him son. Two grandchildren from Renee (Ashyln and Triston) that live in Kansas

I served in the Navy in Submarine squadron six (SUBRON6) on the USS Orion AS-18 a submarine tender. I supervised payroll for 12 submarines. I spent some time in Guantanamo Bay Cuba before it was a detention center it was a training facility


I got my love of cars from my late father who loved cars and taught me to respect their beauty, and how care for them.

And here I am

Thanks for sharing that space. Takes a lot of courage to talk about something like that.

As for me I am a 20 year old in college. I am in my third semester. I have a part time job that feels like a full time job since I mostly work around 38-40 hours a week. I am not complaining its money for my pocket. At my job yesterday corporate just raised the starting wage a dollar which is great cause now my pay has gone up a dollar per hour as well. I have had my monte carlo for over two years now. I used to drive a 1998 lumina which I loved. But it became a money pit and just wasn't worth keeping since I was just out of high school and needed a reliable vehicle for college. I live with my grandma after my grandfather past away. She wanted someone to stay there so I said I would. It doesn't bother me either. Most of my days are extremely busy and I never have a whole day off. Most of my time is either with school or work. I do have a girlfriend that I have almost been dating for two years now. That is still going very good. She was actually the first girl I ever dated too. Thats about it for now. hahaha.

 

Hi `Zach, I enjoyed reading about your life.
Keep giving `up to get 2 where you want 2 `be in Life 4-Sure
You are fortunate to have a family that cares 4-Real...Never take them 4-granted

Oh, I don't know how much courage I have (?), I was just telling it like it is & making the most of life during my travels.


"I am not what has happened to `me, I had no control over my past, but I `do my present. I choose to extract the best from `life with everyday that I am given. I was taught that `if I wanted anything in `life that I was going to have to give `up to get it I'm giving `up 4-Sure..."Dream `it > Plan `it > Act `it" & if the first plan doesn't work (?) I'll make another one & keep trying & work harder with each revision of my life plans.. I hope that you & other's can do the same to get to where you want to `be

One thing that I know is that Human Life Ends & we really never know when ? What `if ? > EnJoy your Present > Your `Now !
