Hey buddy! I miss you on here!

I just read an article about the "skeeters" in Alaska, and I am amazed there are any up there. You would think with the frozen tundra, there wouldn't be any insects! Surely, they can't be as bad as they are here!! Enlighten me on this subject.

I tell you what, when I got up this morning and saw what I did on golo, I would say it has become trashy. Before you know it, golo will be history if it keeps up. If that happens, I've got your email, and I can still keep up with you when you are around.

I hope you're doing well, and I know you're busy with your job. Take care, and let me hear from you soon.

My Lord! I had no idea! I figured there would only be humans and bears to survive the cold up there. Gnats sound horrible! The "no sees" down here are bad on the coast. You can hardly see them, they're so tiny, but they feel like they have alligator teeth when they bite! Have a wonderful day, and a marvelous weekend!!

Hey John, just stopping by to say Hi! Don't work too hard.

Good morning--I thiught you were in the boonies up there. Welcome backto civilization. LOL I check out the newsminer camera every day on you up there. I've not seen the complete ground yet but tht snow is melting. LOL Yep we are gong to start the draught before long and we are already behind in the years water tables. You better think of us this summer. I bet it is rough on the pocket with fuel heating. You better start chopping some trees LOL

You've also had the best of both worlds up thre to live. You've gotten to live among the frontier and on the edge. Stay safe and keep your sock warmers close by for that iced up plane. I'd have me a big portable like hair dryer so I know if something went wrong, I could melt that iced plane real quick. LOl That is scary.

You be careful and take care of yourself out there!!! I will keep you in my prayers, please let me know when you make it back safely.

FYI- if you are talking about Galena Illinois, my mom was born there :-)

Godspeed my friend!

Good to hear from ya John. Kind of winding down here after watching them boys from Davidson come so very close to going to the Big Dance. I had to quit eating my Ruffles and French onion dip cause I was jumping about so much. You have a great week coming up, Be Safe!

I can see that happening IF it is Hillary. I feel that way myself. Obama, however, has done serious damage by his close affiliation with Rev Wright...when the good rev said G. D. America, three times, he sealed the rage.

Frankly, I think they ALL stink but the reality for me is this: I am an independent but you know I am conservative - I will be voting for Hillary in the primary. If she gets the nod, I am not going to vote for a pres candidate in the general because I HATE McCain and his illegal immigration bs. However, if it is Obama then I will vote for McCain.

I have hated the Clintons for years and never thought the day would come that the "republican" candidate would be no better or worse than Hillary Clinton.

Dobson left himself an out...he said he did not "think" he could bring himself to vote for McCain.

It will be an interesting election and the next few years will be entertaining to watch (too bad we are the pawns that pay in these games). Ain't life somethin'?

Hey more great news....Muslims now out number Catholics. http://uk.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUKL3068682420080330

I think America has some serious worries.

John - Sorry to stick my nose in, but I saw your post on feisty's profile.

May God have mercy on me, but I agree with James Dobson. (although, undoubtedly, our reasons are very different.) It's still a scary thought.

Hope you are doing well.

Did you see that Discovery Channel is going to have an Alaska week in April. Sort of like Shark Week ... cool.

Hey Yukon, been a whiole since we talked but wanted to tell ya hello and hope all is well in the Great north west. Our Heels are in the final 4 and I am looking forward to the challenge of taking it all and coming back to NC with the trophy. I hope it goes that way, You take care buddy and I hope to hear back from ya soon. GO UNC TARHEELS!!!

Hello John!

Any sign of Spring up your way yet? Hope you're doing well!

Terri

Happy Friday! :)

John, Hello, my buddy! Dang! I always miss you online! Take care!

Good morning John!!! Just giving you a thumbs up...keep you eyes on the Golo homepage today. Contest with prizes on the game tonight for us GOLOer members. Hope to see you there!

Thanks, John. Hey, think of it as doing him a service by staying out of his way. No seriously, I do understand about plumbing problems and hope you get yours straightened out soon.

It's just not the same on golo without you.

We are having an all day rain and I am so pleased. We hope to get our garden planted next week, since we couldn't do it today. Everything is getting green and beginning to flower and I'm so looking forward to warmer weather.

I hope you have an awesome afternoon and evening, and hopefully you will have the chance to watch the ball games tonight. Take care!! (((((HUGS)))))

WOW!!! We need to dismantle that and move it down here. That would be cool to have looming just north of Wake County.

Hey John - me and my family are fine - we had a bad round of viruses but have recovered. Think about leaving Golo this way - absence makes the heart grow fonder. When the seasons roll around and you can Golo for long hours, it will be a nice, brand new toy and lots of fun.

I will be thinking about you during the UNC game. I bet I can hear you hollering at the refs all the way down here...;D

Hey John! Good to see you on GOLO again. I miss you. Our Heels are killin' me tonight!

I am sorry about UNC. I hope you have recovered.

I was watching a history channel show last night about an Alaska-based pollock ship--the "Alaska Ocean" I think it was named. That was an awesome vessel. It has a crew of over 100, and has a complete fish processing factory in the lower hull. They make those square fish patties for McDonalds (arrgghh)! I need to get up thataway some time. Beautiful country.

Headlong (Angel) has transformed a ho hum back yard into a paradise in just a few years. She is a gardening genie!!!

NC is lucky to have a transplant like her and her lovely family.

Don't forget to let us know if you manage an NC visit!!

yukon.....and the #1 comeback line of any UNC fan is.....

We got farther than DUKE did....

Wow, and just exactly what did UNC get for that? nothing. A long quite plane ride home.

Ahh I laid down to take a nap *LOL* Raining here so not much to do in the yard...Okay with me though because Mother Nature is doing my watering!!! How are you doing???

Hi Yukon! Whats going on?

Hello. I'm very glad that you enjoyed and understood my blog. Golo seems to be a cool place to share things like that.... So, you live all the way in Alaska? I thought I lived far from the triangle area! lol. Do you see many polar bears?

i am so glad there is someone else who understands it not all what other people think...i think its more about reaching a stage of life where you are not living for someone else....just youself

"it got us the ACC title...something else Dook dreams about"

Really? cause in the real world DUKE has won the last 7 of 10 ACC titles, and has beaten UNC 17 of the last 24 times.

but, I guess you knew that already.

Have a good day, it's all in fun.

Glad to hear you're doing well! I'm just glad we finally got some rain last week. I'm bummed the heels lost to. I'm just glad Duke didn't win! :D

Hello John! It looks like a pretty day up there, and most of the snow has melted in the parking lot. We finished planting our garden this morning, trying to beat the rain we may get this afternoon. I'm hoping we do not have a dry summer, and the garden will flourish. I hope you have a fantastic weekend. "Holla" when you can!

Hey john, hope all is well with you. Have not spoken with you in quite a while.

Hey John - I guess it is bad to have that attitude - but I have conclude that over the last 25 years. They are a self - serving entity.

There are some good ones out there - it is such a few and far between thing. Take care friend and have a good weekend. I am around.... this afternoon.

Hey, I haven't talked to you in awhile. How's Alaska? My brother is in Fairbanks now. But just got word that he will be deployed again, this September, to Iraq. :(

Hope you have a wonderful afternoon and a great Monday!

LOL I just peaked at Alaskea and yep it's snowing. They call that a light snow. I'd hate to see a heavy snow.. The grounds covered. I seen ground one day..You must love cold weather,

Good morning, John, hope you had a great weekend. Mine flew by. Happy Monday!

yukon - Spoke with my uncle tonight. (He's got two boys in the Marines right now, but I'll leave that alone for the moment.)

He was in Nome when we spoke. I'm amazed that, even in this day and age, I can call someone in Nome.

hey bud, sorry I was not around golo last night to watch your back on the war blog. I posted a few minutes ago, and as they say, "the beatings will continue until morale improves"

He said it was 10 above.

I don't know what he was doing there.

Hey, John, hope you're having a wonderful week.

TGIF, John!!! Hope the "salt mines" are treating you right.

maaahn, check out my new profile. Gonna start doing a Dylan anti-war song every week or two.

Hello John. I have had a great visit with the grandson's, and now that they have gone home, old granny might have to take a nap, she's plum tuckered out! LOL I adore the little boys, but they are very active.

The weather has been absolutely beautiful for the past few days, and I hope it continues. I need to set out my tomato plants, but I want to make sure there is no more frost.

I see you're having nice weather there as well. I still can not fathom mosquitos in Alaska as cold as it gets there. It's a hardy insect that can live through those temps.

Have a wonderful day, John. So good to hear from you. You have been missed terribly.

john, do you do Dylan? If not, it is never too late to start,

Good Morning John! TGIFF!

Good morning, John, we've made it to another weekend. Hope yours is wonderful.

Hey John, how is work going? I've been outside mowing since about 8 am...came in to watch the race. Smoke pulled it out, he had a really strong car. Jr tried but just couldn't do it!:o) Well there's always tomorrow! We are having some beautiful weather..I just hope it doesn't get hot too soon! I'd like to enjoy some 70's. I put out my tomato plants a couple of weekends ago...they sure are growing fast. Nothing better than a BLT with a "real" tomato. The one in the store only add color to a dish not much flavor. I've got to hit the shower..gotta make sure I don't have any "bugs" to b ite me.(yes it wouldn't let me type b ite)

Hey John, thanks for your prayers.

Scott
