Lucky you. Yes, it all seems to happen by chance doesn't it? In my late twenties I met a friend after buying heating pads from him. Can't remember how it happened exactly, but years later I tore my arm and was in hospital and he took care of my herps.

31 is a lot different than 39 though. When I was 31, I was a champion athlete and everyone was always kissing my butt (insincerely of course, and only when I won). Now I am like the crazy snake guy (herp world answer to crazy cat lady). I also, and I am almost reluctant to say this as I was once a rebellious youth, do not understand the new culture and vernacular brought on by the new generations. Everything is tweets this and hashtag that. Even older folks do it. I don't understand what it, all means.

But thankyou, your story gives me hope. 😊
