Cool! There's alot of you fellow buckeye people out there! Is there anyone from Cinci out there? And yes, we should party it up!!!

It's so disgusting.......wish there was some way to prevent the book or the interview.....would serve OJ right.....would show him nobody cares about his egotistical flauntings!!!! But since that won't happen, the next best thing would be for noone to buy his garbage...

Hey Belle, I'd say you are well stocked!!!! Excie, well I won't tell if you won't DM, you're forever trying to put that dang pineapple on that pizza, God love ya! And to rest of you, you can have a bourbon on me!!!! Happy Times!!!

Just Thinking, the Thorpe's were at HQ... After that they were coordinating a branch in Dayton. They were let go after they decided to buy a house in early 2002.

OK, here's a funny story... There was this gal J*ff M**n and G**y K**g were witnessing to.... Anyway, they decided to play a prank.....They went to her house after dark, set off firecrackers around her house....and slipped away without getting caught.... Hmmm, I wonder what that poor girl must have thought! This was before the POP

I knew him in Seattle when I was there in '87 and '88. He had a really good sense of humor.....

26 years...... My don't I feel old already......

Don't feel bad....I grew up with these malfunctions.... I would get started with one thing, and then something else would catch my eye, and I was on to that! And before I knew it, I had at least 10 things going on... I've tried making lists....that helps...but I still do it.. I've often wondered if it's just the way I think...you know mental habit patterns of thinking... I think it is to a point... You know this life is complicated, especially in this day and time...Life goes speedily, and we are expected to conform with its demands...Well, I say Fuggit...I still make my lists....and I do better....I have tried not to expect so much of myself... I've always been somewhat of a perfectionist...but now I realize I'm only human.... Tom, you're still the best... :)

I am still reminiscing!!!! I had such a great time!!!! Ex 10 and 101/2, you were great hosts...your house is beautiful...loved the colors...and the layout!! Not to mention your hospitality!!!! Dooj, your cooking was exquisite, and your zest was there for all to see! Loved those pictures of you and Pipes dancing....... Pipes, I equally enjoyed the fellowhip with you...You're such a fantastic woman...There's something about you...it seems like you look deep into the soul of a person....and you love them...loved that about you... Paw, you were there to record things and your insight you shared was awesome... Tom Strange....Thanks for your humor...You were funny...So when I see your posts I will think of this funny guy....and thanks for bringing your mom T Bone, thanks for what you shared earlier...I wish I could have had more time to get to know you guys... Tonto, we should have talked more about the beautiful scenery you and I both like. St George and the Countess, It seemed like we shared similar stories... Mo, after all these years....hello again....Muwah! Rush 7 and wifey...nice meeting you...

DM, thank God for your humor! I liked # 5 the best

Yes, I hit a deer about 7 years ago.....I can empathize with you the cost of replacing vehicles..... geez.....this is your fourth deer? And phooey to the animal rights activists....."the deer had every right to be there, not you!"(I may not be an animal rights activist, but I'm also not an abuser....) There's just too many deer out there.....at least that's the case here...Sounds like hunting season needs to be a little longer....There's so many deer getting hit and people killed, too... After I totalled my car, I found out you can purchase some deer whistles that go on the front of your car.... The deer hear it, and they steer clear.....The sound hurts their ears....I got mine at Auto Zone..... Even now, I'm wary, especially in the wee hours of the morning, if by chance, I'm out....... I'm just glad your husband wasn't hurt!

Well, that crew in the car look like they're overjoyed!!! WooHoo!!!

Well, I certainly had a good time! It was great to meet all these people with faces.....The jokes and laughs were great, great food, great heart sharings with people.......Dooj, bless your heart, you were too busy to talk to! Forgot to vote! 1)I liked the chocolate cheesecake the best 2)cherry 3)lemon.....And Tom Strange thanks for the Myers Rum! Aside from locking my purse in my car at the airport....(thank God for Shuttle Drivers with broom sticks) leaving my winter jacket at the airport restaurant.....and trouble with debit cards.............. It was all well worth it!!!!!!! And now I must sleep...........for a long time!!!!!!!!

Well, this should be fun! I'm hitting the road early Saturday morning to Columbus to catch the flight out. See ya all when I get there!

I'll speak for myself....If I'm angry, I try to get to the bottom of it.....Why am I angry? I try to get an understanding of what's going on before I act...or speak....No, I'm not a perfect person, and yes I've blown it! I try to look at things from the other person's perspective.... I think the sooner the issues are resolved, the better, if that's what needs to happen. It's when anger is held in for long periods of time that it's detrimental and has negative effects on a person's mind and body.....

Holy kiss, anyone?

Happy Birthday Oeno! May your days be filled with joy and your dreams come true........

How sad, SV!

Happy Birthday Belle! It's my brothers, too! Enjoy it! Lori

I have felt like that, especially more lately. Nothing helps me like pulling out the word and reading some of my favorite stories. Somehow reading about how David or Esther handled some of their demons is refreshing. After that, I take some time just me and God, and I pour my heart out. It helps me to put things in perspective about what's bothering me. Sometimes I'll even write it out. What I've found is sometimes I just need to look at something differently. It helps me to gain a new perspective. And then I go and find people to socialize with, or play my keyboard for awhile, go sightseeing, do something fun. Like many of you, I have been lonely, too. I recently started going to school, so that takes up 3 nights a week. I have met people there and gained some new friendships. I have found people here on GSC to be supportive even though I really don't know anyone here very well. My kids and I have a great relationship, and we help each other. But I'm around the age of menopause also, and have needed anti-depressants. Recently I converted from prozac to herbal and finding it to be most helpful. There's another issue that arises this time of life, and that's thyroid. That will make a person feel tired, drained, and depressed. So, I'm also taking medicine for that. But there's always answers.... and there are people who care.....

I know the sting very well. My cousin comitted suicide two years ago. Noone expected it or knew she was feeling so badly. The doctor had changed her medication (she was bi-polar) and it wasn't working. They think this and other circumstances attributed to her suicide. Sigh

Congratulations Grand-Daughter! I'm so happy for you and he's sooooooo cute. Give a big kiss for me! xxxxxxxxxx

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Chas
