Last year I embarked on a journey that has been simply amazing. Up until last year, I was an active lurker. That probably sounds like an oxymoron, but it's the best way to describe it. I was an active poster with a few friends and that was it. There were other members that I wanted to get to...
Last night was my five year class reunion. Out of a class of 70, eleven of us showed up. Not really surprising considering it's a FIVE YEAR REUNION. :p
I went mainly for curiosity sake and very low expectations. I was never close to my classmates. My closest friends were in the class below...
I made two blogs about my friend Liesl who had been experiencing horrible abdominal pain these last few months. The first asking for prayers and thoughts and the second as an update leading up to her surgery that took place today.
Well I'm happy to say:
The doctors have discovered the...
About two months I posted a blog asking for prayers/thoughts for Liesl.
It's been a trying two months for Liesl and her family, but they are getting closer to figuring out what's the cause of the pain she's experienced in her lower abdomen. She's going into surgery on Wednesday for a sort of...
I thought of you today
It happens every so often
Wishing you were still around
If only to hear your voice again
So much has happened over the years
Since you have been gone
Marriages and tours of duty
And the birth of your great-grandson
Every one you were missed
But we knew you...
The TMF was started many moons ago and it has grown into a huge forum with members from all walks of life. I don't think anyone could predict how huge this forum would grow to be today.
I joined about more than eight years ago when it was still in its infancy. Things were still being switched...
Memorial Day
by Michelle R. Christman
As we stand here looking
At the flags upon these graves
Know these flags represent
A few of the true American brave
They fought for their Country
As man has through all of time
Except that these soldiers lying here
Fought for your country and...
It's never easy letting go of a friend. If it was then you weren't friends to begin with. I've been friends with Tammy for nearly a decade. I can't say that we've been close friends, but we hung out often with our group of friends and we did a lot of things together. Birthdays, dances, parties...
This is for you. I found the picture online, but I wrote the poem. I was inspired after a chat with Ray and this is my way of saying how much your friendship means to me. I have made so many new friends on TMF in the past year that it still astounds me. :shock:
I love you all so very much. I...
I mentioned it before about needing an off-switch for my brain. Yeah, it's one of those nights. :doh:
I hate my brain. And my brain hates me. I swear, it does. It likes to torture me. Right now I feel like I'm hyped up on sugar and caffeine and a million thoughts are zipping across my...
So, if you've been following my blog or seen any of my comments, you'd know that I'm making a serious effort to go to Bella's in November. So I was thinking, there's no way I can even consider trying for any other gatherings. Money is the biggest issue with me and I have to save up in order to...
My good friend Emily's younger sister, Liesl, has been having some medical problems lately. It seems every time she turns around, something is happening. She was recently in the hospital again, and so far the doctors aren't sure what is wrong.
Late last year, Liesl had her first knee surgery...
NEST has come and gone. Though I didn't attend, the build up and the afterglow of NEST drew me in. Jealous but happy for all who went. :) This year felt different for me compared to years before when NEST was talked about. Before I felt like it would be fun to go, but I kind held back and used...
Yeah, so, I saw Dan today. First time since he got hauled off to jail. He got out of prison on Monday. It was not fun seeing him at all. Well, at the end, before I headed home. It started out ok, talked a bit and I thought we were on the same wavelength of just being friends, and things were...
Anywhere you go on the internet you will find trolls. It's an unfortunate aspect of online life. There are some people who will join a forum or go into a chatroom and just say whatever they want to get a rise out of people. Maybe they actually believe what they say or maybe they just say it to...
Except for yesterday I have walked every day for 15 minutes. The reason I didn't walk yesterday was because it was windier than hell outside and I prefer not to freeze my ass off. :neenerneener:
The walking has been good for me. Not only am I getting my exercise, but it's sort of curbed my...
(I found this on a site with Minnesota jokes and thought it was too funny not to put in my blog. :bwahaha: )
1) Don't order filet mignon or pasta primavera at Kroll's Kitchen. It's a diner. They serve breakfast 24 hours a day. Let them cook something they know. If you upset the ladies in the...
I organized my iPod adding and deleting songs over the past couple of days and yesterday I had 7 inches chopped off of my hair (not the 10 I hoped to) as ways to get ready for this weekend. Like I posted earlier this week, this weekend was going to be the weekend where I start walking again...
During the summer of '08, I was walking nearly every day. I started off every other day then I increased it to every day. By the end of the summer, I was walking 2 miles every day and I had lost 20 pounds. It was something I was immensely proud of myself for doing it because it felt incredibly...
