The show was another well spent hour watching Tim interacting with the chat room and discussing his daily activities.  Tim was thrilled to have the opportunity to help set up a Christmas tree in the conferance room at work, listening to Christmas music and talking about how happy his is this time of the year.  Now Tim has a tree at the apartment, PTB offices, and his work area.

This year will be a first of many for Tim, with his new job, new friends, new activities and a very special Christmas.  Having been on the streets the last few years, this one will definitely be an emotional one.  Maybe even a Christmas party or two this year for Tim.

Tim spoke about the recent trip down to I-10 and passing out the socks for some homeless that he and Sean encountered, and realized that working with PTB in this type fashion could be something that he wants to always be a part of.  Not to cut himself short by no means because no one knows what exactly is planned for them, he would like in some sort or fashion to continue to work in helping others on the street and or those who are homeless and continue his new job at the same time.  We all know how special of a person Tim is and just goes to show the measure of the man that he wants to continue helping others after the fact.

Tim discussed the importance of saving your money, avoiding debt, and preparing yourself for circumstances that may come out of nowhere.  As our parents use to say about saving for a rainy day, it is important to save for those inconvientant times that seem to pop up here and there.  It is better to be prepared then not and one situation that can snowball and put someone on the streets and without a home.  Some economic analysis have published statistics that show a percentage of Americans are one paycheck away from being homeless.  Another wakeup call to heed the warnings mentioned above by one who has lived through it, Mr. Edwards has seen it all happen before with some people he has met during his time on the streets and we all should take his advice to heart.

Tim is working towards his 9th month of soberity.  We all aplaude you Tim and are so happy for you.  You have come such a long way and we have been blessed to have been able to be along for the ride.  As said before, you are a true inspiration for us all and we all love you.

Tim discussed Zach and his 10th month anniversary  of soberity coming up in December.  Update on Zach shows he has been working hard in the studio cutting tracks and preparing some songs for the PTB documentary.  Zach has been putting in 12 hours in the studio daily and is really putting all of his time into these music projects and we all know they will pay off for him in the near future.  He is a talented individual and we all are so proud of him. 

Tim discussed his favorite football team, the Pittsburg Steelers, and admitted to not wearing his game day jerseys and rally towel.  Could very well be the reason for their less than championship season this year but knowing the Steelers, they are just resting and will be preparing for the run for the playoffs.  We have to have a good reason to have Tim to spend his Sundays running around in black and gold, hollering for them to pull out the next few wins to get them closer to wild card status.  We all need to rally with him for that to happen.

Tim had some fun with the emotiocons on the chat, there is a particular one that he is not fond of.  I will not mention which one but I am sure he will continue to see it from time to time.  A real touchy subject that always tends to lighten up the room and gives everyone a laugh. 

Tim ended the show with discussions about Christmas music, different genre from country to blues and his enjoyable moments of singing for Sean with his chipmunck imitations.  Sean came through at the end after his trip to the gym and everyone got ready to call it a night.  Another great night spent with our favorite PTBer, Tim Edwards!!!
