I am the Managing Editor of GOLO. I've worked in broadcast, print and online news for 15 years in multiple markets including Cleveland, Tampa, West Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale. 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.

Whether you're planning a trip, or staying close to home this weekend....BE SAFE and have a Happy Memorial Day!!!!!!

Wow!!!!Thanks.That feels good to hear.Enjoy.

Angela dear,

I hope you have a good weekend, Forget about Golo this weekend, I might be around so I might keep my eyes on it.

If you come back on Monday or Tuesday and find Golo on fire, ummm it was all Con Amor2 fault, she made me do it.

well have a good weekend........

Bless yo pea picking heart, you got a pile-o-mess to sift thru sho-nuff.

Fugetaboutit and have a great weekend with your family!!!!

You deserve a {{{HUG}}}!

Funny how I never blogged about this before. Here's a personal-linked story to a military tragedy in 1968 that my uncle was nearly in. Today (May 20) was the anniversary of it.

Good morning Angela! I am organizing a carwash to raise money for Blog for Hope. Is there any way the post could go on the main page? http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5202674/ Have a great weekend!!!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend Angela!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Funny you ask people to come to you for their complaints and others run all around golo whining about it.

Maybe you need your email up so when someone has a legitimate complaint others won't nose around your profile then run around telling others about it.

Maybe it's time you cleaned your profile up so the one's that are nosey can just keep to themselves.

Anywho, Hope you're enoying your time off!!!

staceyb = catherine = warrior09 = robinredbirdy, etc. etc. etc. -

It's like watching the movie Sybil trip through GOLO.

God bless.

Angela, I just wanted to let you know that I reported abuse on this profile. I did not like the comment this person left on it. They also left the same on my old profile. I have never spoke to this person before for them to speak to me in this manner, nor to Blah. I find it to be offencive. Here is what this person wrote;

I did Blah, now you can suck my banana staceyB GOLO member since May 12, 2009 May 24, 2009 10:13 a.m. Delete Block Report abuse

Couple of things:

1. Memorial Day is not a day for happiness, so it is completely inappropriate to use the phrase Happy Memorial Day.

2. Your present name is as idiotic as your prior ones. No one really cares if you love a dog, or rescues dogs, or does anything else with dogs.

3. Feel free to squeeze G all you want. At some point, he will be your only refuge. Steve Crisp GOLO member since July 3, 2007 Angela, Above is TRULY a violation of TOS. Can you please assure me this will be handled as all violations of TOS? Thank you.

Just ((((((hugs)))))) I think you need that more than anything else right now. Hope you have had a great memorial day weekend.

Another one... Waaaaaahhhh! I have cancer. Everyone feel sorry for me...What a joke, Angela...She has what she wants to have when she wants to have it...It's old. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------

I'm out of here, too.

Too many stinky azzholes in here (aka KIM).

Angela, reading your profile is like a trip back in time to the 6th grade and reading the notes being passed around class. I am laughing myself to tears over here. Backing away for a few days offers a whole new perspective. All I can say is do we really act like that??? I cannot get over it.

Thank you for the Sesame Street tickets, Angela! The kids are going to LOVE it!!!

I left a comment on the blog you have up...my husband was the winner of the other set. I'm sorry, we never thought we'd both win! He was trying to do his job as Daddy to win the tickets too. Please let me know what you'd like to do.

Thank you again for the tickets! The kids are going to be so excited!

:)

Will do, Angela! I may just draw a name out of a hat, I don't want any hard feelings. Or, I may let hubby decide. He doesn't know anyone on here (other than me) so he'd be pretty unbiased. I'll have to talk it over with him but that's probably what we will do.

We weren't trying to tag-team ya, Angela, honest! He was just putting in for his chance to win tickets for the kids! We really wanted to take them!

Oh boy, after reading some of these comments I dont even know if I should tell you.

I wasn't whining Angela...just an attempt at humor. Please read my comments. I'm pulling it.

Haven't see you making any comments on blogs lately. Hope all is well for you and yours.

dont yu get tired of baby sitting?

btw knd2k9's needs to banned--really witchy.

By the way, i take it back, i don't want you job..KEEP IT !

Angela, I reported kind2k9s numerous times in just one blog for the attacks she made on people. Also someone whose profile begins with sigmund

Hi Angela. Not that I was here for long when I was on originally, but I'm back, and hopefully for a while this time. I just wanted to send you a big "thank you" for continuing to keep me update on the Golo world (whether intentionally or unintentionally) with the newsletters that come out via email. They've been enjoyed, and have reminded me of the community here. Again, thanks, and keep up the good work!

Hi, Angela!

I wanted to let you know that Grumpy-Not is the winner of the second set of Sesame Street Live tickets so you can send her an e-mail on how to redeem them. We did a drawing.

Thanks!

(And sorry for any hassle!)

Lol, thanks! I think so too! ;)

I had no idea he was going to get to meet you! We had all planned on going tomorrow afternoon after my son got out of school. We're going to tomorrow's show because we get my step-son this weekend. There were only four tickets and I really don't think an 11 year old would want to go see Sesame anyways! The guy who won our non-working Polaroid TV on eBay (he must know how to fix them--none of the repair guys they sent out could)called this morning and wanted my husband to meet him in Greensboro for delivery. So he decided to knock it all out at one time. It just would not have been a fun car trip with our daughter! :)

Kinda funny he met someone on GOLO first. I'll have to give him a hard time about that! Ha ha ha!

My husband just walked in the door. He said it was very nice to meet you and to PLEASE excuse his appearance as he had to run out the door this morning. ROFL!!!

And, hey, Angela! Those are some good seats! We got lower level, row N, just to the one side of the stage. Cool!

Thank you!

Knowing how much you LOVE snakes, Angela, you're gonna LOVE my new wildlife gallery: http://www.wral.com/golo/image_gallery/5228779/?version=slideshow

Just thought I'd personally share that with you! :) Hope it's a great Friday - one day till the weekend!

Hey Angela - WRAL Had a huge jump in new profiles today. About 25% of them were trying to participate in the "name that dog" blog. Folks who are new to forums seem to think that making an id and a comment on their profile is linked to the blog they are looking at. If they stick around and ask questions, then the Welcome Wagon will help them. But I am concerned that we lose some who got flustered on the first try and don't come back.

happy Friday Eve

Good Morning Sweet Lady

Any more thoughts on a GOLO Birthday party?? So looking forward to it...

Hi Angela !

When you have a chance, please check out the blog for Bla and her father whom is having open heart surgery today.

Seems to be a moron in the crowd. I have NO tolerance for a disrespectful FOOL.

Thanks and have a GREAT weekend.

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5240344/

Speaking of fools, please check a blog by Willow (or whatever her name is) "Off stomping trolls" or something like that. Kind2k9s was really ugly to someone else on here who is suffering from cancer.

Just stopping by to say thank you again for the tickets. We went last night. The boys had a ball. Especially the youngest. He was moving and grooving in his seat to the music. It was an awesome show. I enjoyed it and so did they.

I'll be glad to help with the get-together if you need me.

Sometimes my own backyard is too wild for me! Just yesterday, I was walking through the cow pasture with my camera and was lurking around the swampy pond. What did I find? CRAWFISH!!! I thought those things only lived at the beach or in Louisiana somewhere!

Girladoo, the neck is much better. The doc said I would never be normal, but I wasn't before! Thanks for all you do for us at golo. You are a sweetheart.

Angela - did you get my email?

"" this is unacceptable. Do it again and you will be banned. Spread the word."

and, i don't blame you one bit...honestly. i seriously recommend a character limit for headline length.

i took it to private, because i do respect what you have to do...

"But why should we HAVE to have one for a community of adults. That hasn't happened in two years."

leave it to me. let me know when i can come out of the corner and take my dunce hat off.

In 4th grade, we had a series of dissections in AG class. I remember cutting open a bull's eyeball, an earthworm, a huge frog, a giant grasshopper, a starfish, and yes -- a crawfish! I wonder if they'd let a group of elementary school kids do that nowadays?

It's hard to believe, but I've only got about 65 days of my Picture of the Day blogs left! I don't know what I'll do after that.

Here's to a calm, productive Tuesday - cheers!

A civil get-together is always good. Not a "night-time beer guzzling don't remember what happened there" kind. I had the best time at the last one. Drove all the way from the big city of Henderson just to meet you and the others. PLEASE?!?!?!?!?!

angela...can i take this dunce hat off yet? im getting hathead.

oh, also, please hurry up with that ignore feature...javejoe's talking about dissecting eyeballs and i can't handle that.

:)

i hope you're having a good day!

Hello, my name is Truth Williams.

Hey Angela,

I accidentally posted a blog twice in the golo atheists and agnostics groups. Is there a way to delete one of them? Thanks!

Hi. Quick question:

I am curious as to how blogs that redirect GoLoers to external sites which are supported by commercial "click through" advertising and which are also owned by the GoLoer posting the blogs are not a violation of this:

"constitutes or includes unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, "junk mail," "spam," "chain letters," "pyramid schemes," or any other form of unauthorized solicitation;"

This is an example:

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5285242/

I assume they aren't a violation because they're allowed to remain up, but for the life of me I can't understand how they could be viewed that way. They seem to me to pretty clearly violate the rule.

It seems pretty silly to allow someone to post material that directs traffic away from your site and which also enriches the GoLoer posting the material at your expense. Might want to consider getting rid of it?

Tks
