Hello as you read this chances are I am trucking someplace her in the USA. I want to use this opportunity to say thank you to Mark and the guys at OLP. I have only known about being HIV pos for 5-years. When I first found out I was very sick unable to work. in about 6 to 8 months I got better, thanks to meds and was able to return to work (trucking). OLP group has really enriched my life, before attending OLP I didn't know many people. I was gone from Tulsa (trucking) a lot and I lived life in the closet. I now have something I am a part of (OLP) and many new friends. My life has been more fulfilled thanks to OLP group. If you are reading this and are considering going to OLP group, GO FOR IT. I'm confident your life too will be enriched.
Enjoy Life

Hey guys I was tipped off to this great web site called "Wish Upon A Hero" where you can post a need you have like "I need a new fridge". You tell your story and then others read it and if there is someone out there who can help provide a new fridge, they will. Who knows. They don't talk about restrictions. Say, if you needed glasses or dental work, someone out there may be able to hook you up. Just passing it along. I can't vouch for the site, I'm just passing it on.
