I moved to the area with my family in February 2007 and have had the pleasure of watching this community grow from its infancy.

There is still so much more to come here at GOLO, so stay tuned. I think you're gonna like it here.

Hi Angela, thank you for asking. We were there in Puerto Morelos, Mexico for a week. (Its about 10 minutes south of Cancun.) Its was our youngest son's wedding....they wanted a destination wedding and it was so wonderful. Our new D-N-L is an event planner and boy did she do it up....this was one of the best things my wife and I have ever done. Twenty-nine guests came, it was a vacation/wedding trip for many. Our daughter's hubby chartered a fishing trip for those who wanted to go....only four of us guys went and that was a really great day too. We caught (and released) six sailfish & several Bonita. We also visited the Mayan Ruins @ Chichen Itza while we were there. (an amazing place!)

The wedding write up is in wilsontimes.com if you have the time to go there.

Thanks again for everything you do here on Golo!

Hal

oops...that'd be the March 16th issue

I finally watched Changeling. I thought it was a great movie but some of it was hard to watch. especially when she was in the psych ward and with crazy killer man. but I thought it was good.

Dat's cool with the change in picture Ang. May the "luck of the Irish" be with you ALL DAY long. ;)

Thx Angela, my job took me all over the world, literally. I'd love to take my wife to some of the places I've been.

Hi, Angela! I just read through your blog from earlier today and you make some really good points. What happens outside GOLO should stay outside GOLO. I don't know if people realize that when they bring their personal issues and fights here that it can make it uncomfortable to others not involved. I'll be glad to see it stop.

Hang in there!

Angie, what's the deal with the blogs? I am sending you something with two links, can you give me some feedback?

What does it mean when your nose itches?

1)Is it that someone is talking about you?

2)One shall come into a large sum of money soon?

3)A fly landed on it ?

I'm confused, please help, thanks in advance

Angela, I posted a blog a few minutes ago. For some reason, it goes directly to friends only??

Angela, Thank you for your response; however, my blogs & everything else is set to publicly available????? I don't understand.

I have a thought...

I've been thinking of this for a while. I know that according to the terms of service, we are not to advertise business here. But as this site has grown and evolved, I thought it would be nice to have a section - apart from the blogs, but still part of the main page, for business listings. At a time when our economy is in such turmoil, supporting our local community and economy seems like a good idea. A good way to start would be to have a 'GOLO yellow pages' button here where folks could look if they need something.

There could be restrictions about ads and still restrictions about blogging the the common blogs, but for example, I'm looking for garage doors. I know there is a person here to does overhead doors, but I can't seem to find the profile. If there was a 'yellow page' I could find him and perhaps support our GOLO folks.

Just a thought!

Angela, I checked & double checked. My blog was set to publicly available. Thanks for your help! Kim

Hi Angela:

I haven't been over to your page in a while. I just wanted to come through and say good morning. Everytime I think of you, I pray for you. I thought of you last night and all that you have to put up with on GOLO. I know your job is not easy. Therefore, I will keep you in prayer continuously. Be encouraged and know that your work is NOT in vain. There a lot of great things that have come with the GOLO community. I appreciate you! Enjoy your day!

Mrs Fabulous 1

It's Friday, and the sun is shining (can you believe it)! Enjoy your weekend, Angela! It only happens once a week.

I have quite frankly had enough of this user:

DRB - the harbinger of gloom and doom. He is as smart as he is optimistic.

Just another jihad, eh, you anti-semite? meh2 March 20, 2009 7:38 p.m

I hit abuse every time he makes slanderous personal attacks like this, and consistently, in every instance, nothing is done about it.

I would cite the additional instances of this behavior here, but this person's profile is not accessible to me. Please look into this and (finally) take appropriate action.

Angela, this one is getting attention. As the blogs continue, it's obvious that this is a mother's online diary of dealing with a son with a terminal illness. Blogs like these truly tug at the heart strings and have a unifying effect on those who read the blogs.

For your consideration:

(blog has links to the mother's previous blogs)

Angela, I wanted thank you and all other Golo Members for acknowledging my son Justin, it means more to me then you know... God Love ya..

So how do we get this blog on the first page?

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/4788410/

My "mission" for Justin is very important to me.. If you read my latest blog you will understand why.. I want to tell you that before I found golo I felt Justin and I were all alone... But I do not feel that way anymore.. The people on this site are so kind and so supportive... You all are great.. I dont know how I can ever repay all of you for your kindness,thoughts,prayers and help. I pray you all will get 100 times back of the kindness you all have given us.. Thank you so much!

Angela, I did a blog on the NuWave Oven in hopes of getting some good recipes. Do you know anyone that has one? I'm not trying to promote anything...just anxious to try out something new.

Afternoon Angela...Tickled me to see the Benefit Poker Run images made it to "Our Picks"...It was a good cause and from what I hear the one's that put it on were pleased with the turnout and monies raised.

Thank you for doing that. I hope that family will be able to benefit from it. I hope you are having a wonderful day

Hiya Angela! I was wondering if the Signs Of Spring pictures have to be recent or not? If not, I submitted a picture of my oldest girl, Savannah, standing in front of a big wisteria vine last year. There sure are some good ones in there! I hope you are having a good day!

Can you delete my profile please. Thanks

Angela, I've tried several times to post a pic to a blog...with the right ext. of course...but the pic isn't saving. Any suggestions?

I had the blog private while I edited it. When in and set it to friends only, the pic saved! That is weird.

The blog I did yesterday...had no problem.

*Went in

"And you might want to let Angela know that that real pretty picture of the butterfly is actually a background photo that comes with Vista - I know because I have it as my desktop background! Heheh. SOmeone put in a ringer, there! brat is Kestrel GOLO member since April 10, 2008 March 26, 2009 4:53 a.m."

Stinkers, LOL

Sounds good, Angela. I've got to run some errands but I'll be back later and repost the blog.

Thank You Angela!!! I am neither but with a couple people I have over for dinner it is nice to know the local food stores are making this easier to shop and find things that are acceptable without us having to run all the way to Raleigh or Durham.

Angela, I hope you are having a great day! Sincerely NCN

If you are in the office today could you please let me know what was wrong with the picture on Historians "spactator sports" blog? I would really like to know. Thank you,

Hi,i`m glad you enjoyed the profile statement,i have found it to be pretty much true.Use it as much as you like and thank you for welcoming me to GOLO.

Angela, can you please get in touch with me... I want to talk to you about what is going on with this blog between Krestel and I.. Thank you very much...

Angela, my whole profile has disappeared!! I was on it all morning and some this afternoon. I just tried to go to it, and the whole thing is gone... WHY ?? I rec'ed no email from WRAL or GOLO telling me it was being pulled. Please respond ASAP....Thank you...

Good Monday Morning Angela. The mice play while the cat is away syndrome with certain blogs? ;) LOL I feel for ya girl. It has to be a roller coaster ride sometimes trying to administer GOLO. But IMHO you're (and the hallway monitors) are doing a good job. Keep it up. And have a great week.

Hey Angela

Wrote a blog for you :)

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/4849149/

If I didnt feel this was a serious matter I wouldnt of done the blog.

Thanks.

I literally have tears in my eyes from laughter. Golo Managing Editor

I am so glad we could get a laugh out of you today...I know this crowd must be very trying at times...not "us"...some of the "others" (snickers)...but really....I envy not your job!

Angela, girl what gives?? It's been more than two days now, an my profile is still MIA....and still no email from WRAL or you with an explanation. That is, if there is one....I'll be at the hosp with my sister tomorrow, most of the day...I'd love to get an email from you about this. Thanks again....Shoebaby

Angel, I apologize for sounding impatiant. With my work schedule, sunday is pretty much like wednesday for me. I sometimes forget other people have "normal" work hours/days. Somehow or other, I've aquired another profile, quite by accident I assure you. I don't know where it came from. Whatever you can do, when you have the time....Thanks, and sorry for being a pain in the azz.

Hi Anglea. I received e-mails about my comments to reincarnation of the truth, and that is fine, I understand why, and I apologize. But for someone to be able to go around and call people the B and C words, and make fun of mentally handicapped people, or people with diseases is uncalled for and I cannot believe this person is still allowed on GOLO. The profile says "just having fun at your expense" and this states what this person is here for. Nothing this person says is relevant, and every remark is crude. I just deleted her/his posts from my page, but I supposed I should have reported them.

Hi, Angela...I know. I was reviewing all the shots taken on the laptop last nite and when I got to that one, I fell out laughing. It brought everyone in and they looked at in and there were six of us laughing like a bunch of goofs around the computer. :)

Thanks girl...it's good to be back where I want to be.

Any idea about what happened, why it disappeared..or are we going to consider it atmospheric interuptus!! LOL!

Angela, the old one still isn't working right. I made another new one...I think I'll keep it...if you find the old one, say Hi for me and then give it the boot!! I'm done with it...

Thanks for helping me...((((((hugs))))))...........Shoebaby

http://www.wral.com/golo/profile/4876296/

That's disgusting.

"Keep a manicure kit in the glove box and treat yourself next time." -- LOL... me? A manicure kit? And I thought getting stares from people watching me talk to myself was bad. I can't imagine stares from people watching me file my nails or pamper my cuticles! LOL, thanks for laughs, Angela. I think I'll stick with taking pictures and talking to myself, though!

Thanks for the comment on my welcome wagon blog. Hey, at least you still have a job. My 26 yr old son just returned home from Utah after being laid off. He was working on a natural gas drilling rig. He says of the 300 some rigs that were operating in Dec 08, 30 of them are still operating. I am still working as I am self employed. It will be all I can do to support us.

These situations are so so sad,,my blog and the link I put in my blog to a blog Teech did (is that using the word "blog" too many times in one post? lol)

Just breaks my heart

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/4883145/

Hi Angela, I have a special request, please. Could you post the latest blog I did regarding Ca'zhia and the search party on the homepage just for today. I would like as many people to see this as possible so we can have as many eyes looking as possible. Thanks in advance (and pretty please?)

I have never set up a group before, would you please check it out and make sure I did it right????
