/*CC tipps over sized cow boy hat*/

how ya bizzzzz? for chizle manizzle

Thank you Sandra for being such a caring person.

I`ll be ok and hope you have a good night :)

Sandra, every time I visit I say to myself what a cute white outfit. Yeah I've been blogging for a while and have some pretty impressive statistics. I really don't go searching for these people they just seem to come to me.

I really hate to tell you this but I feel that I should warn you, I've seen women like you in the past that have blogged positive messages on a daily basis and each one has burned out. I don't know what the answer is but don't want the pressure to get to you.

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.

Good morning Sandra!!!!

Thank you for the kind words of encouragement my friend!!!

My friend that writes songs is reading my poems and has already started editing one of them as a song!!!

I wouldn't know where to start as far as getting anything published.

When will your book be published and available for us to buy?

now Ive only done 1 Golo get together, I'm still nervous about it.

Just remember,

CC is brown!, CC is Brown, CC is brown....

all together now!

By the way,yes bring the kids(why did you think I wanted to meet you??LOL Just kidding! I love kids and they like me.I guess I remind them of their grandmothers or better yet another kid!!

Sandra, I guess I never even considered that the writing gives you strength, kinda like Popeye's spinach.

Please don't pressure your daughter into swimming too much, swimming really develops the legs and shoulders and that just is not a good look for a woman. It's not like you can make a living swimming.

Have a wonderful evening.

Did you have problems with your other pregnancy? * Just morning sickness all nine months and gestational diabetes.

If so, your doctor should be able to advise you on what to do; if not, don't be worried. Someone once said: "Worry is interest paid on a loan you might never receive."

* But since having the little one I have thyriod and ovarain cysts. So it scares me

take care

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

Sandra, your blog today, Stifling the Fire, hit so close to home. I have a very dear relative who is full of anger. That anger has created within her some pretty bad physical problems. I've never encountered such anger in my time, even though I have been through a lot. I just refuse to be an angry person. I believe in sucking it in and going on. I try to help this person see the silver linings and posibilities such a young life has, but it's like talking to a sponge, that quickly dries up. I appreciate your blogs, and share them with this person. I encourage my dear relative to grow strong in her faith in Christ, but only she can do that. However, some of your blogs just say so well what I want to say to her. I hope you don't mind that I cut and paste your blogs and email them to her. Thanks.

Hey - I kept meaning to write (and obviously failed!) We ended up going out of town for a bridal shower the weekend of Bill's party. Sorry we missed it! And thanks for your kind words about Tipper.

Thank you.

I knew that, I was just clarifying for some others.

Thanks for the comments Sandra. I ended up being disappointed by my first new blog in months so I hid it. I don't think there was anything wrong with it, the subject matter just inspired a flurry of sophomoric comments and I didn't want it to be a sounding board for that.

Funny how that works, at first you get reasonable and thoughtful comments and then it just goes downhill. Ah well.

Oh that white outfit, I hope you have a great weekend.

Stay out of trouble.

Hey Sandra, I've been seeing your name on all the blogs with the pictures of Goloers! How are you tonight? Your picture was very pretty, by the way!

hello

Have a great, safe weekend!

mornin' gal. I'm movin' in 2 weeks. Are you still thinking about a golo yard sale? If not, I'll just give some stuff away rather than move it...again!

Sandra,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 and wish you a good morning.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!You make a difference!I am thinking about Willow.she said she couldn't afford to come to the Golden Coral.If I can get her to come to F-V I may bring her to the lunch.There sure is alot going on with our fellow goloers(Spunky,Sansa,NCmom and who know who else).I hope some of them can come.

Sandra, thank you. I appreciate you thinking of me. I am not so much upset anymore as just tired. I have been sick for the last few days and it gets me down. I appreciate the hug and ((((((Sandra)))))) back at cha! I look forward to meeting you Tuesday.

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!

Thank you very much for the friend invite.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Good Morning Sandra!

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!

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

hope you enjoy your day!

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.

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.

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

"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?

Thank you again, Sandra. You are most kind.

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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 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?

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

As I do you my friend!!!!

Thank you for the kind words!!!!
