well for my 1 thousand post i would do someting a little different. this has been a realy bad week...alot of stuff going on so i just needed to kinda vent a little. Sunday i got a call from a good friend..him and his wife are talking divorce i think the world of both of them so its hitting hard. chili wise i have not qualified to cook in texas yet...i got 6 points need 9 with 3 cook offs to go so i got to place in all 3 or hit a top spot to go this year.....its not looking good. july they are having pod elections and i have had several people wanting me to be president again but im getting some opposition from some of the members so i have no idea if i want to put my name in the pot again or let it go??? my son got all of his wisdom teeth pulled yesterday and yall that have kids know when your kids hurt you hurt but he will get better.. on a better note the seeds that i got and gave to my mom are growing..i saw them yesterday and hopefully soon i will have some nice peppers to grill. as it pertains to the board i appreciate all the ones that sent product for the epilepsy foundation to raise funds....that was so nice of yall. i always enjoy comming to this forum and reading all the posts and learning about plants and hot sauces and i appreciate the ability to post upcomming chili events and posting results. thanks again guys and gals...tonight for the 1 thousand post im gonna have to cook and eat someting hot...lol
