That long, brown thing on the shoulder that smells is no 'stick'.
>>That long, brown thing on the shoulder that smells is no ‘stick’.
Thanks for saying what I should have said...
In plain view, I (perhaps presumptuously on behalf of us folk who are here to have fun) extended my hand. It has been slapped away by a child who wants to sit in his corner and pout.
As I said, I started the AI threads as a jerk and, seeing the error of my ways, completely changed my attitude. That change gave me a chance to shimmy-shimmy-koko-bap with some doggone nice people. People who would never have been part of my life had I not seen my own jerkeosity.
Tammy was the best of us all (although s/johnny continues to be the best friend we all would like to have daily in R/L). Her patience and, dare I say, love, were an inspiration. To this day, I remember her and keep her candle-flame burning. As long as I live, she lives in my heart. I am sure that people on these threads who knew her pass her love along, as, I am sure, do those who knew Connie/ladyinred.
I was on “suspension” for 2 years so I didn’t get a chance to know Connie/LIR. But if Jonnie says she is a person of note, then she is solid in my book.
All this is just to let everyone know that it is possible to change; it is possible to have fun together; it is possible to love people you have never met; and it is possible to mourn while carrying the spirit of those we mourn and love aloft.
Sorry if this is a “downer” — I sort of hope it is an “upper!” Love, laugh, share and snark!
The world we share is a pretty darn good place and FR lets us share it together :)
And lets hope Archuelta II gets the boot! Followed by Screamtasia II
