Hey Sandra, I'm gonna do my absolute best to be at the car wash Saturday (and it looks like I'm gonna be able to at the moment). Is there anything I can do or bring that will help?

Sandra - as much as I appreciate your blogs and insight on GOLO, I don't think the wooden spoon will work, maybe a 2 x 4 - lol. Hope you had an awesome weekend!

Prayers are sent for both of you.'

Thank you for such kind words. Dad really is a rock for so many. Hope you are having a great day.

{{{hugs}}}

Thanks Sandra,actually it was an optical illusion.The building is 20-25 feet behind the web.Heehee.Tricky yes?

Thank you, and it's a pleasure to meet you. You're definitely a positive influence on Golo. You are one of few that understand human beings were not made to be perfect, and that there is always room for improvement. Perfection would be utterly boring.

AND may I say, perfection would put me out of business! :)

Thank you for the kinds words in my Dad's blog!!!

after some of the meanies on golo sometimes I guess I know why there is abortion .......They don't want themselves to multiply..........."

Ladyblue, you had me roaring with that one. ROFL!!!

It must of been a wild day for me to come up with that one. I'm glad you enjoyed the laugh.

Hi Ya Friend! I did a blog about dad. He came home today!!

Thank you so much for asking about him. {{{hugs}}}

Hello, my name is Truth Williams.

Have you been teaching kim to how to write fiction? LOL

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5265677/

Thank you, I have a white suit too. I also have a white top hat.

Truth Williams

New picture?

Thanks Sandra,Were you just born a sweet person and had a relapse into more sweetness.You really know how to make a difference in people's lives.You are a Golo treasure!!!!

Sandra, Thank you for your kind note. You're so sweet. It's not worth repeating. It's just golo. Not to worry. You are a darling & thank you for responding. As you know, sometimes its crazy on here but EVERYONE loves you & you deserve it! Enjoy your evening & your day tomorrow, girlfriend! Thanks again.

Hey there to you too Sandra. You probably would rather have, what is it called 'gelatino"? Well, I love that stuff too. LOL Anything good and cold this time of year is more than welcome. Hope all is well for you and yours. Always good to hear from you.

Thank you, I hope your day went well too. Every one of my days is a different problem, but I love that.

HI Sandra! I got your voicemail today. I didn't have a signal driving home from Smithfield through the back roads, your call went right to my voicemail. I'm sorry I haven't called you back yet. I'll call you sometime Thursday - Thanks!

Knock! Knock!

Hi!! Can't wait to see you on Saturday!!

I'm looking forward to chatting at the carwash to! Don't be offended if I make you walk through the 'wooden spoon detector'...LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Good morning Sandra.. apologies for last night.. I had to run errands/clean/dogs/etc. Glad to see your book is heading forward =c). The journey is on hold for a bit, still in the making hehe. I know you know how hard it is to save a buck when you have kids and end of school. Have a meeting in July with the only person I know remotely near red mountains. Gotta start small I guess. I picked up the book you recommended.. haven't got to it yet, it's third on my list of reading this library round.. but looks very very interesting. I almost picked up his other two books as well! But decided to share with the rest of the county hehehe.. Hope you have a great Thursday.. I'm off to get ready for work. wee

Boo You!!!!....:)

thought you would enjoy this blog

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5280868/

" Prometheus, that same quote was posted in a comment on my blog today. "

When I saw the first headline about Carradine (big fan here), I rrmebered your blog this morning and thought;

"synchronicity"

you're welcome and thank you for taking the time to read the post. I thought you might enjoy them. I have so many memories of my time with her and things she shared with em. I have truly enjoyed my walk down memory lane today

Hi Sandra, thank you for offering the handshake. I am having a great night, getting ready to get off this computer and head to bed - early morning tomorrow. I hope you have a good night and a wonderful Friday and weekend. Dawn

That was odd how you had a blog on Kung Fu and then the news of David Carradine broke. I loved that show.

Have a great evening.

missed your blog but I Hope you feel better soon!!! xo

I hope the carwash is a huge success tomorrow, Sandra! Take care of yourself, and I hope you get over the bug soon. Make it a great weekend, but stay safe out there!

Thank you, Sandra. I look forward to attending future events. You be careful tomorrow, listen to your body, and don't overdo. Yikes! Did I just turn into your mother??? Sorry...but do take care! =) {{{SANDRA}}}

Sandra, I wish I could but I can't. I hope you all have a fun time.

Oh I also hope you and your family are feeling better.

Who-ever does your hair does a great copy of a signature Douglas cut. Stick with them and never let them go! You look fabulouso dahling! Glad you had a good constructive day with the car wash.

Have you any clue to why this person Noah is spitting out strange things to me on my profile and blog? She says I have a mental disorder apparently, and I am claiming to be someone else. Should I block her? I really dont like to do that sort of thing.

Thanks Sandra -

Have had this same thing twice in the past month.

Started out with eggy burps, then terrible gas the other way - then today everything is running. Yuck!

So resting and running, running and resting, and doping with Gatorade which almost always helps me.

Thanks for the info.

God bless.

RB

Hey Sandra, Had a little bit of an emergency and had to ditch my blog. Thanks for the note about Noah. I went to leave her a peace message and her profile is private, so I asked to be her friend! I figure if she wants to act like that, then be it. You say she is a nice person, so I will give it a try. Thanks for the Noah recommendation!

Hi Sandra! I forgot about the table and chairs. If they're at the shop, I'll pick them up sometime this week...

LOL - Smorg also will look for something for an hour, and when I finally ask him what he's looking for and he tells me, nine times out of ten, I say, "Oh - it's in the..." wherever it is. So why doesn't he ask me BEFORE he hunts?

Congratulations on the $267. That is a great location, lots of cars.

It was great meeting you and Morgan. I am trying harder to get out and meet people, but I am not really very outgoing. It was a wonderful time, and you are so generous to commit to such a wonderful programme like the Blog for Hope.

Ciao, Bella :-)

Thanks for the 'friending' - enter at your own risk though...LOLzers

Sandra! *hugs* I am SO sorry about yesterday. I woke up sick with the worst headache and upset stomach I have had in a long time. I kept watching the clock, thinking, if it lightens up I can still make it for part of it, but it never happened. Needless to say, I never left the house. I slept most of the day away, I think. I hope everything went well, and that lots of $$ was raised! :)

It wasn't a fun day, by any means. I've got the lingering headache, but I DO feel like eating, which is a plus. I was bugged beyond belief, tho. I had planned on planting my lavendar and mint into the ground, as they aren't doing well in the pots, and then was going to take the family to a Relay benefit cookout last nite. Needless to say, none of that happened. :\ Please keep me posted regarding the pot luck. :) Anything on a weekend (provided I don't have a shoot scheduled) in the Raleigh area should be good for me, esp since I visit Mom when I go.

*hugs*

Sandra, good morning. You and I have the same eyes and eyebrows. Not trying to scare you just letting you know.

"Or something like that...:)"

That works - I may add another 'story' to that foundation....

Thanks.

Sandra! Glad to help. Let me know when the next event is happening and I'll do my best to show up!

Sandra,

One by one I individually thanked everyone who contributed to my late night blog last night. Here it is 24 hours later, and I have left you for last.

I realize had just recently corresponded and I truly appreciate your comments. I spent most of the day resting both mind and body and I can safely say I am back on the upswing. You like so many here on GOLO are so quick to respond with compassion and a kind one for those in need.

I feel extremely proud of the comments that were made, not one negative one in the bunch. It truly displays that GOLO is an positive influence in so many lives.

You have become an icon of the site and I am proud as well to call you friend.

Scuba called and indicated your idea. Just shoot me an email or call and we can decide if it is a good idea.

Until then, rest well and keep up the excellent work you are doing both here and with your own personal successes unfolding in front of you....

(((((((((((hugs back))))))))))))))

Mornin' sandra...You probably are going to find this hard to believe but I'm tellin' ya true...when I was doing that blog and gettingt the words to that bangle's song, I actually thoght about you. I don't know why your image woudl have popped into my head, btu I could almost see you singing the words to that song. For real! Isn't that cool especially when you say you loved that song years ago! I thought it was pretty cool. You have yourself a great day and keep on keepin' on.

Sandra, I wish there had been more cars, too, but we didn't do half bad! At least I didn't scrape my knuckles...ha ha

I'm happy to help with the GOLO functions.

Glad you are feeling better.

Susan

Missed you again!! have an awesome day.
