Just popped in on an old post of yours, just to fill in on anything I might have missed. I like your enthusiasm here!
I'm sorry I'm so late reading this...I wasn't going to leave a comment so you wouldn't have to come "all the way back" to an older one of your posts, but I am leaving one because I just wanted you to know that I was here reading your posts as I am trying to catch up on all of them.
Ohhhh, now I know things about you! Ohhhh, the things I could tell people! "Psssst, hey you, yeah you! You know that guy AJ? Yeah? Well, you just might be interested to know that he's a little strange. Oh, yeah, sometimes he goes by the alias Bob! Yeah, and that's not all of it! He drinks, you know...HARD liquor, besides! He seemed like such a fine young man, too, but he's got that darn pierced ear, he's into Star Trek stuff, he's been skinny dipping...oh, yeah! He even admitted it! I'm surprised he stopped short of talking about when he last had sex, although I assume it's with somebody called Ray! Hmmmm, whaddya make of that? He even said he'd MARRY this Ray guy! Well, really, do you know what? He sounds pretty damn normal to me after all!"
Sure, sure...by now there won't be any of that pizza left! That's what I get for being late! Sorry I missed the party!
That pizza sure did look good. Not even a crumb left?
I am so happy for you that I am speechless!
That is a wonderful list and I am so glad that you realize those things about yourself. Often, others know our good qualities, but we fail to see them ourselves. I (and others here) have been pointing many of those things out to you and it is comforting to know that you see these qualities to be there in you...and to be happy about them and thankful for them.
When you forgive someone (or something, yes it can be true), you actually forgive yourself, too. Forgiveness of another is forgiving yourself for/of having any negative feelings or thoughts of another, which means peace is made within oneself, too. This is how and why it is easier to live with someone (or something) you have forgiven, even if there has not been reconcilliation. (If reconciliation can be reached, even if not at full extent...although full is ideal...then the peace and harmony is is best, of course.)
I'm reading this on a Sunday and I'm laughing like heck! A grape war, huh? We used to have cracker wars. If anybody dared to whine, somebody would yell "Somebody needs some crackers to go with her w(h)ine" and we'd all reach in our cracker supplies in our drawers and toss one at that person!
By the way, in case you're still confused... it is NOT, nope, it is NO LONGER Thurday!
I like your answers...honest, to the point, serious and a little playful at the same time. Hey, those sound like the reasons I like you!
I read this late, so I'm probably way behind in any and all progress that has been made. I'm going to need to hurry up and get caught up on all your posts so I can be current with all your news. (Gee, I hope the memorization challenge all worked out for you.)
You already must know that I think this is adorable, but I'm telling you anyway.
A little late, but I wanted to see who the winner was. Congratulations to Kristilyn...ohhhh, I would have loved that prize!
I think it's important that you attended this meeting. Isn't maybe a good sign when candidates show an interest? And, I think it's good to be a swing voter, too...it's not always good for people to think someone is automatically on their side all the time. Yep, nothing wrong with being a swinger!
Yikes! I'm late for this one, but I wanted to see it and try to play along anyway. These are such fun and I definitely wouldn't mind getting that prize! But, I already know the answer because it was given in the comments...so, I guess that prize has already been awarded? Awww, shucks!
I made a promise to myself a long time ago...actually, it was when I got my second chance at life...that I wouldn't let the wonders of life go by un-noticed, un-appreciated, un-felt, or un-lived. I'm as mature and responsible as I have to be, as young and playful as I can be!
