    I was stopped today by a fan of FHC and let me tell ya he was the nicest man I could have met. We swapped our FHC stories and shook hands and it brought home just why we do what we do. The fact that we have grown to be present on multiple continents is just amazing! The fact that I can walk down a street and be stopped because of my FHC hat is just creepy and I love it! It means we are all making a difference for the better!

    You members the advice and help given over the years is truly a gift of yourself to those who need it! Your a great group! Thank you from all of us staff at FHC!

    Finally put the FHC sticker on my Explorer and a Pellet Pig sticker on the car yesterday. Hmm, wonder if I'll meet someone that way? would be cool -weird but cool.

    And no, I'm not putting an FHC sticker on my bike :cool:

    I have a huge sticker on my truck cap. I have been honked and waved at over by Grand Rapids once and I get asked by EVERYONE what FHC is and they all laugh until I say it's real. Then they try to look serious and feel bad:rofl: :lol: That's the majority of people. It usually leads to really good conversation after that.

    When I was in the ER I had half the floor staff asking about it and telling their stories about firewood and family :D

    My chiropractor couldn't stop laughing when I told about FHC. Then he went and had a look and was really impressed. He wouldn't sign up though.

    I only use Facebook for pictures of the grandkids and keeping up with the family. Here on FHC is where I go first in the morning.

    No Facebook for me. If I want to know what my friends have been up to I call and talk to them.
