Nothing like a good morning ride to get the blood pumping. I didn't get runover but I take the credit for that.

While on my ride I was thinking would I trust a hot 27-year-old blonde, with great hair, fresh breath, wealthy parents and nice personality that wanted to have wild sex with me. My conclusion was yes if the wild sex was going to happen right then, but if she said let's walk back to your high-end Mercedes and do it instead of the sidewalk, I'd probably say no.

Sandra...there was no "exchange" the first 50+ comments on YOUR blog, but the arrogance and demeaning comments were already there by Steve. He took your message and manipulated it to insult others in general and a few by innuendo. If you provide him the podium, that will happen every time, REGARDLESS of any history. And the peanut gallery will rah rah. You do not need to respond to this message, time will prove me correct if he is allowed to continue unchecked. Good luck, and I hope your family has a great and safe holiday weekend.

Thanks for your comment (on my comments) - I love seeing your blogs!!! :)

Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

San, you are making excuses for Steve. The tone of his comments was ugly, WAY before G made an appearance. You can't blame the earlier blog either. Steve is not a civil person...not last year, not yesterday, not today, and not tomorrow. He has to dominate, and he will take whatever positive message you share and turn the tone negative. Frankly, he was allowed to ruin YOUR morning blog, which is one of the last bastions of pleasantry we can usually trust on here.

umm i'm sorry i have to do this to you... but i'm stealing sponge bob! lol

Good morning Sandra. That was an important blog about trust. Unfortunately, the comment conversation was pretty sour and of course dominated by one person. I choose not to comment rather than be insulted by being called scum or vile or whatever by him...not my idea of how to start the day. I wonder how many others backed off from the negativity.

Have a safe and happy Independence Day weekend!

You always have to be the most popular don't you?

LOL!Sandra,I am talking about the picture I used on the posting after our lunch,Tuesday.It is also in my gallery of picsfrom the lunch on my profile.If you can't copy it off the posting I'll email it to you if you give me your address.You are so funny.I thought you knew what I was talking about!Sorry.

u all dat and a bag o' chips!!

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5492082/?golo_action=cbp

Sandra,did you see the pics of the Carrington-Smith totem pole? I love it.It captured a mom who loves her children but probably like all of us at some time or other feels overwhelmed but loved!Copy it or I'll send it to you if you like.I told you I would be TweetiePie because I thought you had posted that blog.Oh well,now you know who I really am!!!LOL

Sandra,

I've been away from my PC and never got the chance until now to express how nice it was to meet you and your children at the luncheon. It certainly was a treat for me to enjoy a meal with such nice folks as you and the others. I hope it won't be too long before we try this again.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend.

Steve

Hey Sandra-Squarepants. Give me a call today if you can and let me know about the 4th. My cell is 910-574-8791, I should be out and about most of today.

What will they think of next? I have never heard of that TV show but I rarely watch TV.

Have a great evening.

Sandra,sorry I didn't get to write anything on your post but I liked what you said.I agree,too many people can't see the forest for the trees.They get so wrapped up in their religion,they forget about God and the people He loves.I am a Christian who has lived with an ultra conservative sister, who didn't think I was a Christian because I liked rock music and read other versions of the Bible.I am and always have been a people lover because I feel that is the best way to help others and because that is the way I've been since I was little.How will people know God loves them if we don't show that love.So I am one of the most open minded,nonjudgemental people you will meet(hopefully).Now as to which cartoon character I am.I think TweetyPie,because I am mischievous,playful,friendly,somehow usually avoid getting into trouble and try to be nice to people to give them the benefit of the doubt like Tweety does Sylvester.

Why thank you! I'm quite proud of them both, as well as the one on the way!

Actually, the plans were scrapped last night. If your husband does have to work, there is a neat little 4th of July event at the NC State fairgrounds, starts at like 3 I think, until 9ish when the fireworks start. Its free.

Please keep me in the loop when your published work is finally released. I want to read them for sure.

I'm more of a suspense and mystery person. Hoag, Grisham and PD James to name a few authors.

Thank you for the welcome, Sandra! I do so very much enjoy reading your posts.

Oh- I've got to pick up one of your books. I need to get back into reading. I've gotten so lazy and my brain needs some good excercise. What's something you'd suggest? What do you think on of your better writings is?

One day perhaps I'll stop one of my propane delivery routes and meet up with a group of you guys.

As I do you my friend!!!!

Thank you for the kind words!!!!

{{{HUGS}}}

Wonderful, wonderful day. I hope that you have one too.

Sandra concerning your post last night on Timbo's blog about "the one with the profile loaded with Bible verses". May I ask who you were referring to?

TY for your kind comments Sandra. I sure hate to have missed the get together yesterday. I thought of y'all as I rode back toward home, but it was too late to make even a fashionably late appearance. ;) Take care and have a great day.

Sandra, just wanted to say thank you for being so open, warm, sincere, thoughtful, and inviting in your morning blogs. Although I don't get into many of the deeper subjects (mainly due to my tardiness as of late), I do enjoy your blogs on a daily basis.

we're good, thanks. It's extended family but we're a close family and thought we had almost a year but the cancer took her in just a month.

Good morning Sandra. I saw the pics posted by Ode from the GC luncheon. You have beautiful children. Morgan is a little doll. They looked like they were having a great time. I'd love to make the next one, hopefully there'll be a next one!!

Have a great day!

Sorry, Sandra. I misinterpreted the post. Thanks for the comment.

San, I am not going to argue with you, but Steve is much more than abrasive. I suspect even he would admit to that. Regardless, many folks are tired of the daily drama here, by a few who seem to get a pass because of their physical and mental situations. Even compassionate people have a limit to those constantly seeking attention. It's a new day, and I will embark to treat it that way. Hopefully, it will also be a quiet one.

Sandra...what a sweetheart..still married?

Sandra -- you are the most positive person I know so I have to say this: Jack has a right to be upset with some members of GOLO. Some very ugly comments were posted between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. and a few dealt with Jack, too. Jack didn't say anything rude to the posters and instead made a comment to find your blog to give him some positive thoughts for the day.

Many of these comments have since been deleted, but, trust me, I was reading these as they were being posted. Wish I hadn't -- but I was.

Thank you again, Sandra. You are most kind.

"Jack - give it a rest, will you?"

Why? He's telling it like it is. Or should he say nice things and not mean them, like most of the pseudo-christians you spoke about on my blog?

San, I made no comment on Steve's blog, I simply pasted a comment from Angela that she made to Steve. Do you really think Steve is just abrasive? here is Angelas comment...

Stop calling people idiots, Steve. Even indirectly. It is my job to reach out to people and dispel myths when I can. -Angela Golo Managing Editor GOLO member since July 2, 2007 June 30, 2009 10:36 a.m. Ignore Report abuse

Choose your battles, hmmm. Well that shirt did get me laugh fo sho. I must be getting old.

I use to have a t-shirt maker in college and I made a pretty good living making nasty t-shirts.

Have a great evening.

Just curious if you see a guy wearing a Tommy Bahama t-shirt with a hot chick on it what do you think of the wearer? Careful.

Sandra, Sandra, Sandra, I have not cooked my soup yet but you have me worried. Your son's shirt? Maybe it's our age difference but I would never have let my daughters out of the house wearing that shirt. What is your strategy here? Now I'll admit I on occasion will wear a Speedo but I wouldn't wear that shirt. Please explain.

lol - I will give you an honest opinion about clothes too! :)

hope you enjoy your day!

I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard. I felt the answer in my heart Although he spoke no word!

I didn't ask for wealth or fame (I knew you wouldn't mind). I asked him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind!

I asked that he be near you At the start of each new day; To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way!

I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small. But it was for his loving care I prayed the most of all!

Good Morning Sandra!

You have a good night too Sandra. I was trying to get up there tomorrow with y'all but the bike's in the shop in the a.m. so it's looking like I'll miss this one. Hope y'all have a great time together.

Yo homes, no dog issues today. It's weird normally big dogs ignore me and the little dogs go nuts.

Hope you had a good day.

Hey I wanna have a cookout July 4. You in?

"Same here, Aces. Your comments always make me smile. :)"

That's funny, they usually pss someone off too. LOL

Good morning Sandra, I'm looking forward to meeting you at the outing.

Thank you for the warm welcome also. Yes i noticed that as well. I already tried to join a few groups but i think i was declined.

Thank you very much for the friend invite.

Hi, Sandra, Lolly told me about all the charity events you organize around here. I would be glad to help in any way I can--it is comforting to see that GOLO reaches out to the community. Thanks!
