about genie2u

No one said life would be easy, just that it would be worth it !!

Can't wait til ACC basketball season!  Go TARHEELS!

My fav holiday is coming up - Thanksgiving! I have hosted since 1995 now, I cook for about 40.  I remember the first time, I was 21, and so scared! I used stove top stuffing mix, instant mashed potatoes (boxes and boxes)

Now I use my gramma's recipes and do it all from scratch.  Can't wait

 

 have grown fond of many of you on GOLO.  Some of you have grown on me in a good way, others like a fungus (lol) but really, I would like to get to know more about those I spend so much time talking with.  So if you are visiting my page, if you have time, and are willing to "step from behind the curtain" - tell me a little about yourself...

  1. My occupation is ________________
  2. I live in ____________________  (city/county)
  3. I am _____________ years old
  4. My favorite thing to do is __________________
  5. My least favorite thing to do is? _______________________________
  6. One habit I wish I could break _________________________ (other than GOLO  lol)
  7. And finally - you would be surprised to know that I _________________________

 

Words of wisdom that I borrowed from Shoebaby's profile...

The woman came from a man's rib, not from his feet to be stepped on;

not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal.

Under his arms to be protected and near his heart to be loved.

Thanks for the post. Being involved with non-profits is timely and includes lots of red tape. (at least that has been my experience)

Hey,hope you are having a nice day.Wishing you the best in your pool tournament.

Hey Genie - sorry I missed you. I look forward to talking to you

LOL @ Genie,

oh no!

thats my Golo "Family"

they all adopted me!

Just stopped by to say hello.Hope you have had a nice day and wishing you avery nice weekend.

Good Morning,hope you have a wonderful day.Going to be a hot day so try to stay cool.

Good morning Genie! I LOVE your blog on acts of random kindness. As Morgan Freeman once said, if you give water to a thirsty dog you have made a difference in the dog's world. You might not change the whole world but you can certainly make it a better place through acts of random kindness. Kudos to you. Have a wonderful, blessed day. :)

Hi Genie -

I understand.

I usually try to motivate people with lists of ideas...like ask people what they think are good ideas for doing something. Then if someone wants to share something the did, it takes on a different note.

God bless.

RB

And the "Marriage counselor of the day" award goes to.... What a great, introspective post. That's what I like to see on GOLO. Thought-provoking! Keep it up. -Angela

"" I guess he missed my lesson a few weeks ago on Debating vs. Debasing""

go back to your blog on debasing vs debating, and you will see some interesting comments that pertain directly to your comment that i quoted above.

ill even provide a link for ya:

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5344365/

Hey there...You are on the front page in the YOUR TURN section. I save that area for blogs that pose good questions. You've been there all day, or at least since I saw the blog. -Angela

Hey yall I am tickled... My Parent vs Partner lesson made "Your turn" section on front page yesterday and today it is in the "Our picks" section. Ya Hooo! I am officially a GOLOer!

Ha. Your comment made me laugh. Yes, if that's what makes you official then you certainly are!

LOL funny

Just thinking about you and wanted to stop by and say hello.Hope you had a nice weekend and that your day has been just as good.

hey...you have an interesting view on just about everything i have seen you discuss on here, and i will throw my opinion out there and say that i think you're one of the best bloggers golo has had yet. im curious to know what kind of work you do for a living.

"My GOLO Goal is to be so interesting that Angela wants to interview me :-)"

that's funny...i was actually considering sending a recommendation for angela to interview you, and then i read that. i feel pretty certain that your time is coming.

ahhh...i was just curious to know if you were some sort of counselor...like a psychologist or something like that.

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!

Thanks for putting up with me!! Have a great day!!!

Hey,glad to hear you had a good trip.My weekend was good een though it was hot.Hope you are having a good day.

Hi Genie! I hope you are having a wonderful day. :)

I have thick skin and I can already tell it will take that to cope with such on here.

hey, thanks for the congrats! i hear what you are saying about loving her more over time...i realize everyday that i love her more than i thought i could.

Thank you, friend. I pray for all on GOLO every night.

Have a happy and safe 4th!!!

Hey, golo is like a family and we are happy to have you in it.Glad that you feel like you are a part of this family because that is the way we all want you to feel.Wishing you a happy 4th.God bless you.

Hi and THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you have a wonderful and safe 4th !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for the handshake :)

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

thanks Genie,

had a good weekend, I hope you did too.

thank you for thinking of me.

LOL! No, Steve affectionately tells me I am an evil Italian woman using a wooden spoon as weapon - Lolly found the little guy for me. :)

My pleasure. :) I'm amazed I live in a country where people have to beg for something so fundamental as food and healthcare, yet we spend TRILLIONS on a war we should not be in.

Nice to meet you! Gucci

genis, that viper3 nick got blocked on Viper's blog about his twin son's homecoming leave from the Army for the 4th because she asked him if his son's were as good as he was then went to Viper's profile and called him scum. Not exact words, but the meaning was seen by those who were on the blog. I had seen your comment on her profile, so that is why I wanted to let you know. She is definitely a trouble maker who is not new to GOLO and is attempting to get a rise from others.

How was your fourth? Hope you had a safe and happy one! =)

(((hugs)))

I can understand repetive Cars. How do you blend Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn into that mix and remain sane behind the wheel? No longer do I think my taste in music is...

strange. LOL.

P.S I was hoping "repetive was a word". It's not.

r-e-p-e-x-x-x--i-v-e

Doublre P.S. The thought police did't like my spelling of "repetitive". Never underestimate the powers that be.

nobody did anything. nobody CAN do anything. I just decided to take a break and that is what i plan on doing. Ty for your concern

Good morning! Hope you have a great day!

unisom does work well to help you sleep, and is non-prescription. Benedryl is ok, but not as effective.

silly, your blog was fine.

I'm glad your brother got things turned around.

Jacob's bithday is May 2nd. I've struggled from May through July every year since their deaths. This year, on May 2nd, Robin's sister (Gwen) called me. Gwen has always sent me emails on Jacob's birthday. I had a lot of anger and resentment because of the accident. It was easy to blame Robin. While talking to Gwen, I just broke down. We cried together on the phone. I never considered anyone's elses feeling other than my own. Gwen and her family lost just as much as I did. Their mother, Elaine, was killed in September of 2003. It's so hard to see when you're angry and resentful. I asked Gwen to forgive me. I told her that I forgive Robin. That's all it took to lighten the burden I've been carrying for six long years.

Last night, I did cry. Watching the Michael Jackson stuff on the evening news set it off. LOL. Not that I was a fan, it was because of seeing his family and friends. Knowing how they were grieving. It touched me.

Genie - I so hope sleep will find you soon. It really gets miserable after a few days...{{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Thank you for the request and I happily accept.

I'd say half of my music collection are songs that are older than I am =P

I was just listening to The Temptations on my way to work this morning. I'm not gonna say they don't make music like they used to...they just don't make as much good music these days.

motown is tough to even classify as music. It's one of few genres that you have to feel every bit as much as you hear to truly appreciate it!

"I use to stand on my dad's feet and we would dance to "My girl""

That is very sweet btw =)

Just stopping by to say hello.Hope you haver had a good day.

girl, I missed your earlier blog...it was one of the best original blogs here in a long time. I found it very interesting who posted comments, and especially, who did not! In a note of irony, you apparently only reached those with open minds! Great try anyway, that's all you can do...Jack

G, with your permission I may lift a few lines from your blog for my new profile...will credit you of course!

geniebaby, check my profile

Thank you so much for asking about Emma... she found a good home earlier today! I'm so happy for her and for the outpouring from the golo community. thank you.

Just poppin' in to say hello =)

How did pool go for you this week?
