great moments in golo history

First of all, this is a "proton blog" -- no negativity allowed! Leave it at the door, please.

Now that the cheesy joke for today is out of the way, I have an assignment for everybody.

Think back -- waaaay back -- to all your days on GOLO.

What do you consider the greatest of the great, the best of the best, moments of GOLO history?

A link to the event or blog or image gallery or group would be great, too, to support your claim.

Here's the catch:

  1. If you can't think of anything that can be considered great or the "best" then your job is to create such a positive moment for GOLO this week. 
  2. If you can only think of negative moments or controversial moments, don't bother commenting here -- your comment may likely get deleted by yours truly.

Just prior to Christmas 2007 I asked several GoLo members to share Christmas traditions that had developed over the years within their families.

The response was better than expected and all of them can be seen in the link below.

Such a nice way to put it, RoseBud!

The thing I have enjoyed is, There are TRUE friendships made here. How many times have we laughed together, cried together, prayed for each other and even thought of each other when we weren't online. I have met several here and adore them all, others I still want to meet {yes Wizard my best Buzzard, You are definitely one I have to meet one day} I feel very blessed to have found you all, even the ones that make my head hurt at times ;)

What I believe was the very first GOLO gathering. It took place at Logans in White Oak. I met many friends and came away with a present from a very sweet Wardofstate.

Sharing....both good and bad...makes Golo a winner of all of us.

I remember my earlier days as a newbie in Golo when I wrote my first-ever blog. It was about Raleigh and all the growth we had been experiencing at the time. The next day I logged back onto Golo and there it was...my blog on the front page of Golo. That made me feel so good Angela! I felt like I was a newspaper writer! lol Thanks Golo!

There are also the morning coffee/what's for lunch blogs. The point there, I think, is not the coffee or what anyone is having for lunch, but just a pleasant blog where we can come together to talk about pleasant things. No name calling, no bashing, no childish attitudes, just fun.

Another cool thing is when someone does a historical or travel oriented blog. And of course, I've been diggin Rockinhorse's ongoing house project blogs. That I can have something like that shared with me is really cool. It was a house that was in their family, and now this same old house has a new life. That is just so very cool to me.

There are a lot of cool things about GOLO. That's why I keep on staying here

Another cool thing was when Steve Crisp organized the help for young Tesy and her son. Even though I wasn't able to help out that time, it was very neat to see him explain that just a little here and there could become such a big help for someone, and the whole thing came together in about 30 minutes. And he takes debit cards too!! How cool is that?

There are other things too, like the way Godschild43 always has a kind and/or encouraging word for all of us. No matter who we are, no matter what we are. She is probably the kindest person I've ever talked to.

Sandra's morning blogs are always good to read, always thought provoking. And the last one I read made me cry. Of course, a touching story with a dog in it gets me every time. But even then, the deeper message was not to overlook the good in one's life.

When me and Strawberry Letter realized that we lost our best friends within a couple of months of eachother, and we were supportive of eachother and creid on eachother's shoulders for awhile. It was cool to me to have someone understand what I was going through so well.

Another thing that was cool was the on going help project/friendship with Mr. Lee. Both the benefit and then later the fence building project, so I guess that really counts as two things. We have made such a big difference in his life. And him having so much more hope in his life than before, positive things are starting to surface in his life now and he's enjoying himself, probably for the first time in years. I firmly believe that if you keep on thinking positive and trying to be positive, positive things will come to you. I've seen that in my own life, and now, in someone else's too.

I've been blessed eough to find wonderful friends and a great support network on GOLO. My mom's health has been critical lately and Ernie...Lolly...Sessy...Rev...Blah....Spunky...Godbless....G andalf....and the list goes on....have all been there for me. Friends like these are few and far between. Because of them and more than I can list here, I have a little sanity left and am able to function. The prayers sent up for me and my mom were unbelievable and so are all these precious people. Thanks my GOLO family!
