about crocus

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world"
-Mahatma Gandhi

Hey guys/gals.  This is just an FYI.  I am going through my friends list.  I'm going to be pretty ruthless about it as I am going to be switching to friends only soon.  

 

Don't take it the wrong way if I remove you.  In the past, I've  typically accepted all friends requests.  However, this means that if I want to post things friends only it is pretty much pointless as I have all kinds of folks on my list.  

I'm going to go through my friends list and remove anyone that I haven't spoken with recently or who I really don't have that much in common with.   There are a group of folks on here that love the drama and go poking around other people's profiles looking for it.   And truthfully, if I think that your friends are crazy or one of the drama hounds, I'm probably going to remove you unless we are really tight.  

As I said, it isn't personal so much as I am tired of all the cattiness in here and am going to restrict my GOLO profile and feel this is a good way to do it.  

 Best regards,

Hey Crocus! Shock Top is most delicious. Make sure to put a slice of orange in it to really enjoy its beery goodness. :)

Happy Humperz Day!! Can you believe this..I've been noticing lately that not many cats left in our neighborhood. This really concerns me.

Hey there!

I like your cat picture!

just sent you a friendly hand shake!

see you round Golo!

Bravo on hitting level 24 so quickly. I'm about one and a half levels from hittin 80, so I don't think you'll catch me.

;-) Never know though. You could be just too quick for me. I look forward to having you in our guild. We can always use a holy priest!

Hey Hun! Just left you a message. Hope your day is going well.

"I may not make it thru all 12 seasons of SG1. I really liked Atlantis a lot better. SG1 needs more Todd. "Hello John SHEP HERD."

It is alot to get through. As I was watching it my interest in it went up and down. In the early-middle seasons is probably when I enjoyed it the most. Towards the end there was a time again when they started introducing a new enemy where it picked up again, but they should have ended it sooner, IMO.

I just can't quit once I start. In the last year+ I've watched all of both stargates, buffy, angel, firefly (like 3 times), battlestar galactica, babylon 5, Star Trek:TOS, TNG, and now DS9.

I'm surprised my girlfriend hasn't broken my dvd player, computer, and tv. LOL. At least I try to watch them in the 1.5 hours between when I get home from work and she does and on saturday and sunday mornings when I get up 3-4 hours before her.

"Tell your GF that it could be worse. You could be a scifi fan AND play WoW. ;)"

LOL. Very true.

I'm looking forward to the SG Universe show too. Also Caprica, although I'm a little worried b/c I don't see how a sequel (although I guess it's a prequel) could live up to BSG. I saw the trailer/movie and I'm not sure what to think yet.

" I am not really germophobic but when I see someone floating a baby in a diaper in the pool, it grosses me out "

that is just plain DIRTY

LOL

have a great weekend Hun !

I meant pilot/movie down there in my post.

"I have as much compassion for a dog as I do a pig or a small child."

See, that to me is so very foreign. I am not sure how you can do that. It's just alien.

I can understand you not wanting to use animal products and eat meat. Even if it's not a religious thing. And I respect that.

However, if the law allows cattle and pigs to be slaughtered a certain way, and wild animals to be hunted, then it is inconsistent to prosecute people for animal cruelty (this case notwithstanding)for doing the same thing to a dog, cat or gerbil.

I understand you oppose the whole thing, but from a logical standpoint as it relates to the law, it's a double standard.

That's my objection.

btw, my son called last night and said he had Dexter, season 3 for me, it has french subtitles at the bottom, but at least they speak English! Cute pic of Dex and Sav laying together.

let's get together in cary Published Jun. 23 9:41 a.m. Views: 159

Good morning my golo family. {{{{hugs}}}}. I am off next week and want to see if anyone wants to meet in Cary for lunch. As far as I am concerned bring kids, we can eat cheap or not. I just want to meet some of you face to face. I like all kinds of food. People start making suggestions.May I enlist the aid of anyone who's done this before? We could even picnic somewhere. ?What do you think? List two days you could come and two places to suggest and let's see what happens!!!Someone reminded me ,somwe people may be going off for the weekend,so Friday may not be good.

Wow Crocus....Right now 18 pound "crybaby" is my sleepin cat, and there are 4 others around here someplace. Crybaby is very shy and standoffish...But he started sleeping on our bed the night Felix passed away.....wierd huh?

Well it looks like a good gathering. I tried to post on some folk's profiles but can't get everyone. Let's set the date and time for Tuesday at 1 PM at Golden Coral,hopefully the crowd will have thinned out some by then. I guess everyone knows Sandra, so why don't we meet in front. I posted my picture here as well. Should I ask the restaurant for a section to hold for us? If you want we can get name tags?Any ideas are welcome!!!I am excited by the number coming and hope more will come.Spread the word.

Filed under: Personal

hey, Crocus -- great cat blogs going on . Time to yak about Dexter. Smorg & Sheba's cat favors ours. For Tigger - its Caturday every day !! :>

Glad you can come.Looking forward to seeing you.Crocus,after reading Nics post,I got to thinking how people like you are the reason I stay on Golo.I enjoy the kindness, we who care shows to each other.I also enjoy the funny stories like "Wax on,Wax off"!It feels good to have people cyber hug you.I have found that the morning is the best time to be on Golo for the most part;these are the salt of the earth folks.Thanks for being one of them!

Love the profile pic - hilarious!

Happy Independence Day to my special friend!

Happy 4th!!! Have a safe and happy holiday weekend. :)

Just dropping by to say hey and check on ya. I haven't seen you around lately.

Hi Crocus ~ Thank you for thinking of me with your sweet comment and I hope that you are having a delightful summer. I am doing "peachy" and am looking forward to the annual Ridgeway Cantaloupe Festival on Saturday. There will be in plentitude, the sweetest melons in the world and there will also be crafts at the festival. :)

and if i could, i would give gillian welch my babies...

Have a wonderful weekend my friend!

Hi Crocus!!! *HUGS* I have missed you!!! Where have you been??? I know Summer months and we are all so busy Right???

Hey Hun !

I so want to check that link you sent me but at the same time, I thinks its prolly best I dont.

I have NO tolerance for ruthless and heartless fools like that along with those that IF a blog was done to make stupid comments about it.

THOSE are the real idiots.

Some people just dont care............ thankfully people like you and me DO! Along with a BUNCH of other Golo members!

When I had my 2nd Golo benefit for a Disabled Vietnam War Veteran and his dogs, it was a HUGE turnout!!!!!!!!!!

AND I also picked up a few moronic trolls bashing me for helping a man that rescues homeless dogs instead of helping starving children.

Ugh, the children have parents, homeless dogs dont!

Ok, I can go on and on about how I feel but I wont, you know where I am coming from :)

I hope your having a GREAT night and I hope you dont mind that I am not gonna look at that link.... it will ruin my night!

Talk atcha later :)

Hi Croc *HUGS* Was that the first time you ever went to the Mellow Mushroom??? It is really good!!! I learned a long time ago our the big one so left overs later *LOL* Also their Portabello and Artichoke Sub is wonderful!!! I go back and forth between the two...Tempah and Portabello.

I have not been to the one in Raleigh yet...Durham one several times. Sue turned me on to the Tempeh so I can not take credit for it *LOL* If you are close enough call and get it for pick up or to go *LOL* I am glad you enjoyed!!! Gosh now you have me wanting one *LOL* Will have to talk Hubby into a Ball Game *smiles* We have season passes to the DPAC Broadway Series so we will be going at least one a month *LOL*

Good morning Miss Crocus =)

Not bad at all...super busy.

How about you?

It depends on how late it is. I'm going to be meeting some friends for dinner, but perhaps afterwards. It just depends on how late I get in.

in kevinapex's blog you said that once golo got to be not the fun for you, it would be time to walk away, and for people to complain about being stalked on golo was sort of a slap in the face for those that are being stalked in real life,,(I sort of loosely quoted you here)

Girl! I think those comments need to be carved in stone and posted for everyone to read as they enter golo each and everyday. I truly feel sorry for the individuals that are so caught up in being online that it consumes their every waking thought to the point that they think it does others as well and this community becomes their life.

out of necessity, I spend alot of time at home. Much of that time is spent online logging attendance, menus, doing online classes, etc. Contrary to what a few have said, I do not sit on golo 24/7. I peek in, comment here and there, leave,,,and do that all over again. There are times this is my touch to the adult world (ROFLMBO,,,adult????) which is why I LOVE our little,,,GROUP NOW,,,LOL,,it's GREAT

But I agree, there are times I curl up with a good book, snuggle with hubby when he's off a night, etc. This place will drive you to drink sometimes

ohhhhhh, girl, I knew who you meant. But I've been accused, just because I can read fast and I have a tendency to multitask, if sitting on golo 24/7. If only some could be a fly on my wall.

Did you get the furminato webtalked about a few thosand years ago?? Hahahahahaha Have a great week

Thanks for thinking of me! :-)

All of the puppy blogs are killing me -- I so badly want another dog. However, hubby has decided that he wants to wait a year before we get another one. I'm not certain why he is suddenly against a dog, but I hope that he changes his mind soon.

Heh... so what other changes are going through today? Will we be able to log in at all tonight?

Hey, haven't seen you around in a while. Hope all is well!

Hehehee guess we'd better run right out and start throwing some carcasses down our gullets in order to get back in good graces around here, huh? Tooooo funny.

we all live in a yellow submarine

Good morning Crocus - what a fantastic suggestion!!! I went through them to get a new furnace installed, and they did a fantastic job. :-) I've had a couple of offers for trucks, but I'm still struggling to find a few strong backs to help. If I can't find anyone, I will definitely call them. Thank you so much for bringing up their name, since I had totally forgotten they were there. Have a blessed sunday. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Hope you have plans for an awesome weekend.
