Hi Everyone, This might not be much but it is the thought from the bottom of my heart that counts. First off let me say THANK YOU ALL for putting up with me and allowing me to be part of such a wonderful family. I could write a book on each and everyone of you. I have sit here and read and tried to learn a little since I started collecting chips, strikes, etc. but I am NOT the smartest monkey in the tree!! I still have to ask dumb questions all the time. Anyway, I am going to GIVE these to anybody that wants them,,,,,, FREE, well sort of. All I ask in return is to PLEASE pray for my wife & I. She is going to have to have another back surgery after the Christmas Season. She hurts day and night and I would give anything I have to take that away from her. Please pray that I can continue to work and take care of her & my kids and the cats. It seems that I have to take more & more breathing treatments and it is all I can do to take another breath from time to time. I am NOT meaning to be negative,,,,, I am BLESSED!! I have the very best wife in the world that puts up with me and these chips. I have the very best kids a man could ever ask for. The cats have their moments when I would love to throw them all out the door. lol Just kidding. We all have troubles and my Dad always taught me to try to keep my eyes on the positive things in life. No matter what I face each day I have all of you that I look up to and appreciate. I love to talk to you all and hear what you have to say. You all will never know how much each and everyone of you mean to me. I have had so many members send me chips and things for FREE and I could NEVER repay you all for what you have done for us but I hope & pray someday before I die I can. Yes, we all have our wish lists but Thanks to the great members here that list has went down a lot!! I had a member send me a Silver Slipper $1 chip for free the other day!! I had another member send me some very cool Gilbey's chips. I have had so many members trade chips with me so I could get the ones I really wanted when they probably didn't want or need the chips I had. I could go on & on but I can't remember everything & everyone that has done this for me. That ought to tell you how Wonderful this group is!! I am so very Thankful for all the members that sent me their Personal Chips!! I love them and have them in a separate binder. I hope & pray somebody wants and can use this little gift. No matter who you are, young, old, new or a vet to chip collecting please take these if you can use them and want them. I guess this is my stupid way of saying Thank You All once again!! I wish I had more chips so I could give you more but I don't. You will be getting a limited chip,,,, my personal, I was only able to get 25 made. lol Well, if we win the lottery, I am definitely going to buy all the Town Tavern, New Town Tavern, Ultra New Town Tavern, Silver Slippers, Showboat $1 chip, etc. I can find!! lol Anyway, I will shut up for now and leave you alone. I am sorry this was so long. I hope each and everyone of you and your families have a Wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!! The first person that replies to this message on the board saying they want these gets them. Thanks again for everything and have a great day, Mark & Tonya Todd
