>>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

:)

I do not remember that.

(When it comes to the forgiving and forgetting thing, I do the latter quite well...)

Still being patronizing I see. Here's what happened you started by asking me if I was going to be good. That's none of your business. I never said anything bad to you up to that point tonight. Instead of just replying you had to talk down. Now you're having a pity party. Wammmmmmmmmm! I tried to save him and he wouldn't repent.

I apologized to a guy who posts his religious beliefs on his tags, but he is not Christian enough to respond and accept what was offered in good spirit. Instead you decided the apology was not suffient even though it was none of your busines. You're an arrogant busybody.

Your further attempts to excoriate me and not correct your self-agrandizing behavior is pathetic. Get over yourself. You not running anything and no one needs to be corrected by you.
