about soclose

Who Am I?

I am afraid of what this world is coming to.  I'm afraid of what lies ahead.  I'm afraid that when it's all said and done, I will leave no legacy.

Who Am I?

I am a friend to everyone I meet. I am friend to anyone who asks me to be.  As long as there's no disrespect, I'm even friends with my enemies. (yall know da sayin)

Who Am I?

I am a woman, who not that long ago, still acted like a child.  Until I learnt what it meant to be an adult.  The secret is knowing when you've made a mistake and then learning from it.

Who Am I?

I am a mother with a beautiful daughter that I'm raising to the best of my ablility.

She's the reason why i fear so much, and the reason I have the courage to keep on going.

She's the one that has taught me how to be friend, even to those who aren't friendly to me.

She's the reason I needed to grow up.  She the reason I am the woman I am today.

Note:  Well, that's me in a nutshell.  Have any questions?  Drop me a line or two.  And yes, this is a poem written by me.  Better Believe It!!!

Hey, good morning. How was your night? I hope you have a blessed Tuesday!

♥ HAPPY VALENTINES DAY ♥

Thank you Kathy for your input on my blog.

Thank you for accepting! Hope you are having a great Monday!

There are thousand of pics on Digitalcorvette.com

I do it to get a laugh out of people on Golo. Most people add funny comments and we all have a good laugh.

What can you expect from a middle-aged car salesman? Pictures of women and cars that he will never have, kind of sad.

I just read your profile, wow. You are an honest, strong woman - I don't hear much from you but I hope I will. Your poem is beautiful because it is correct. Know what? I am also a mother to 2 children and like you- I fear what this world is coming to and what lies ahead. Also like you - I keep pushing forward, for them. We owe it to our children to try and leave this world a little better than we found it. Our legacy will be that our children know the meaning of hopes, dreams, hard work, perseverance and most of all...love.

Great profile, welcome to Golo. I am Dawn.

Sounds great, thank you very much for your comment. It is always a pleasure to hear from you. Like I have been telling everyone. Im just want every one to laugh and have a great time.

You are special...LOL..have a wonderful evening....

Hi SoClose, I hope you had a good Wednesday...on a downhill slide now :)

Hey kathy, I saw one one of your posting where you mentioned you were having a little trouble doing your own "blog" on here. If that's still the case, maybe this will help. On your Profile page, click on the word "profile" you should see a menu, scroll down to "blog" and click it. There shlold be an open area similar to the "comments" open area, along the bottom you should see , "edit blog---add blog---view all blog posts---add to favorites." Click on "add blog", another open area should come up with "Headline", "image", "blog post"(this is the body of your blog comments)...there's also various "tools" that you can use to change the font, appearance, etc. Just play with it and set the setting to "hide this blog post" until you have it right. Then you can unclick the hide button, and Voila..your post is now visible to all of Golo. Hope this helps in some way. Good luck.

Welcome aboard!Hope you got a set of boots,you may just need them at times..haha

Hey Kathy! How's your day going?

Hey, are you serious they are going to let phentramine be over the counter? The whole time i was on it (June 5ht through November something2007) my blood pressure stayed 148/92 or higher. I guess the doctor thought I needed to lose weight more than worry about my blood pressure? I Took myself off of it and was that a mistake. I crashed for almost 36 hours. I would get up to go to the bathroom, sip some water and pass back out. towards the end of the 32 hours, I would get up for a few hours... that scared the **** out of me!!!!

soclose... Not that I know of. Children are kidnaped from Guatamala alot and sold in America. Guatamala boarders El Salvador. But these girls looked like American children, with an American man. I forgot to add, that the second time I saw them in the market, I walked up beside them, and I could hear him speaking to the girls and he had a very northern accent. Maybe Michigan or Maine. Speaking English alone is a big no-no in that country. You could get kidnapped (for ransom money) or robbed and killed if any one from a gang were to see you traveling alone. (I'm lucky, being cherokee, I look latino, and I never stand out. And I NEVER speak in public there.)

Thank you for your kind words. I hope that you have a great day!

THe first day without the Phentermaine? is okay but if I forget to take it the next day, it is passed out city for me! It takes me a few days to recover!But i lost 35 pounds from June to October. Man, did I feel great, until I stopped taking it and gain every last *&%! pound back....

I've been there, done that. I know how you feel. :(

Just saw that you live in Nashville. I live in RM; not that far away, lol.

Good Morning! Are you staying out of trouble on golo??? lol

happy humpity hump day! have an excellent day!

*sigh*

/shaking head/

I just never knows about my day...bbbuuuuttttt...

For right now, I WANT SOME ICE CREAM

That seems like good advice thank you for the post. The blog is gone though so I wanted to let you know I posted back to you. I don't see much for tonight guess I will check back tomorrow. Thank you.

I am shocked at the blogs, I guess I will stick with the news tonight. Thank you.

Mornin !

Happy Thirsty Thursday!!

oh yeah Pikemom you are a REAL jewel. I sure hope none of your kids ever disappoint you, unless they already have.

They know better! Stay true to your own!

My kids are grown.....haha

I am proud of my heritage,I don't care what other's do.So don't go around thinking you can cahnge someone to believe how you feel.I want my color to stand tall years from now just like all the years before me.I see nothing wrong with that.If you so,then so be it.I will NOT try to give you the choke hold because you don't see things the way I do.OK?

Ride the horse you like and so will everyone else!Quit trying to make people feel as you.I don't believe in it but I don't give 2 cares about you mixing up your family.So let it rest already will ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Oh, I am definitely going to try it!! Where do you buy Jamaican ginger beer?

hello fellow novelty underwear friend...lol!

hope you're having a great day :-)

lol!...after these blogs today, i think we need a meeting soon!

There is not a problem with multiple IDs the problem is people who create them and make stupid blogs and harass others just because they have no life. LOL If you want to make 50, have at it, just have fun with it. And when certain people feel like you're more stalked then they are, then they will come stalk you. LOLOLOL It's funny, but at the same time terribly pathetic. HAve a good night. SoCo!!

Cool, I can look in Harris Teeter in Raleigh. See how much we learn from blogging?! Very educational. Thanks for the recipe.

Happy Humpity hump day!

I haven't had to take statistics. Even though it sounds interesting. The hardest class for me has been Intermediate Accounting and Finance. I passed Finance, but to this day I don't know how. The stock and financing is still very confusing for me. I know this asounds horrible but personal and business tax was pretty difficult also. My fav thing to do has been the depreciation calculations. Love it! Are you going to a four year college?

Hey Kathy...We share the same birthday...with the small exception that I was born in 1959...LOL!!!!

I did take a couple of summers off, and because of how the classes were i could only take one a semester. All my four credit hour classes I could only take one b/c they were two nights a week. But if they were offering them online then like they are now I probably would have graduated earlier.

I answered your comment to my plagiarism blog as below:

Actually, she was doing it for an online class, and she procrastinated and did not have time to contact the instructor to ask his/her opinion. This situation involved TWO separate papers that were done for the same instructor - so no decit was involved. She just was trying to figure out the correct way to include an excerpt from the previous paper and basically did she have to rewrite the information or was there an appropriate way to use the exact excerpt word for word.

The only thing she is guilty of is procrastination.

I have plans every year...not so much for my birthday, though. I host a family reunion in July. Always somewhere around the 4th. There's usually 35-45 people at my house that I have to feed. Lots of work, but it is so worth it!

Don't worry. My feather werent' ruffled. LOL. I really should have explained the whole situation better. She is a very ethical and professional person when it comes to her job and school work.

Hope you are having a good day!

Hey...I hope to blog again Mon or Tues on it....anyone who comments that they can come, will get the link in their profile.

Took me almost two hours to leave the blog link in all my friends profile. I was commenting too fast ... lol

"If I'm off work that weekend I would be interested in going...love me some Myrtle Beach!!! Keep me informed, thanx."

Hey! Here's the info...http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/3310285/

I was called back to an old blog today and I decided to answer other questions, one of them yours.

My blog was after the crime, before the arrest, and I just went off about a 95 yo woman being raped, robbed and beaten in her own home. I didn't know the facts, but figured, and figured the responses.
