Safety Knights

Unfortunately not this year - only hangup was the cover charge. How is it?? I’d consider going next year if people found it valuable

Same as David, the cover charge caused me to skip it

I was not able to sit on all of it this year due to another conference I was registered for previous where two of our companies were received an award. However, I plan to watch some of the replays. I'm one of their founding members of their Community as well. There was a cost for it this year, however, I feel they stepped it up more than previous years. More vendors, more networking as well as way more speakers if memory serves me compared to previous years.

I could not do the cover charge either this year. Hoping to be in a better position next year.

I did not attend! First I am a Manufacturing guy not Construction so it did not catch my eye until now.

Suicide is serious business! I know from first hand-experience! I am a survivor of suicide myself. I am not sure that is 100% correct as I did not have the gun in my hands, but I was reaching for it when my dog stopped me! It was over 25 years ago and the story is a long one so I will not take your time to describe it to you all now! Not a day goes by I do not remember it well! It was the darkest day of my life! I was in a very dark place. Surrounded by a beautiful wife, three beautiful daughters, and my Golden Retriever Jack I felt so alone and helpless! I tried to gut it out but the hole just seemed to get bigger and deeper day after day! I felt like a Zombie! One morning I came home from work (I was on third shift). Everyone had left for school and work. I just decided to end it all and went to the hall closet to grab my shotgun! As I was opening the closet door my dog, Jack came up and nuzzled his nose in my hand. I went down to my knees and he licked my tears. i prayed for God to let me get upstairs to bed as I had not slept in three days! To make a long story short I did that. Slept till night and got up and forced myself to tell my wife I needed help! She got me help. I got years of counseling and medication. I learned I was not alone and never had to feel that way again. To this day makes me shudder thinking of that day! But with God, my family, and old Jack I made it back! Never came close since!

Please Please Please if you are in a Dark Place GET HELP! Feel free to talk to me if need be!
