  19. Wow! I would just like to thank everyone on here who sent me PM's and work offers....as I have said, Arbtalk has shaped me into the man I am now and I feel blessed. I will spend the rest if my life meeting new friends in the world of Arboriculture and sharing it via this wonderful site. I'ts the only forum I use...I very rarely post on Facebook or surf the internet...most if my spare time is spent on here..since 2008 about 4 or 5 hours a day! I love my life now and for once feel I really belong somewhere...
