I was an active member on here in 2016 in 2017 when I lived in Vietnam. I'm back in the States now my wife is now here with me she's doing nails like every other Vietnamese girl or any good living we have a good Vietnamese community here in Knoxville Tennessee so it's made her transition very simple. I happen to come across this I haven't been on here in a long time and just wondering how you all were doing I've been very concerned about the people in Vietnam during this pandemic. I hope everybody has everything you need I understand that the whole country is on lockdown. I hope everyone is healthy. I've actually had covid twice this last time was a little bit rough I was a little bit scared but I'm feeling better now it's 1:35 a.m. in the morning here I'm been putting together a workshop. I had to go on social security disability actually I probably didn't have to but I had enough medical issues that it was no problem getting approved and I'm sitting up a workshop out here in my garage I'm getting into woodworking you know I was a sales manager for furniture company in Vietnam and I just fell in love with furniture and I've sold furniture on the retail level. So now I'm going to try my hand at building furniture I'm taking some woodworking classes I said I've bought a hell of a lot of tools I don't think my wife's too happy about the money I've spent. Haha you know Vietnamese girls watch that dollar unless it's something they want. I just want to try to grow and at this stage in my life. I had to home care for my mother for about 2 years and I just lost her June the 12th I miss her terribly I was a mother's boy the only child anyway I know you all don't care about all these personal things I just kind of saw this went on the site and miss everybody miss Vietnam
