....by Heather! I was so surprised to see my user id. I too embrace the sentiments that Heather expressed! There were times when I didn't post for months but I could not let go of  J/H because of the people. Other sites (besides being more difficult to use and lacking in features) do not let you see the start of so many posts. Here we can easily see if we might have something in common with another blogger or if we might want to express an opinion. I too think of Soraya and miss her. There was also a girl that I used to correspond with early on. She called herself MizSparklez (isn't that adorable?) and is no doubt in college now. In real life I see a teenager and think, "uh-oh, streetgang!", and they probably think, "uh-oh, bossy adult" but on here people of all ages, all countries, and all walks of life can share ideas and e-friendship. Speaking of teens, I know Heather remembers the time when she brought up a concern that others shared--that a guy with let's say really bad values was getting himself added to the friend's list of very innocent kids. We all made an effort to watch his activity and now, thank goodness, he's long gone. I also miss 'the 2nd wife's cafe'. She brought up issues of not exactly embracing her stepchildren and sometimes resenting them. I told her that she couldn't help the way she felt and at least she brought the feelings to the forefront and dealt with them. Then she found a site where 2nd wives did more than grumble...they were unspeakably nasty, so I guess I was kind of right. She was actually a security guard at a church...a mega-huge one in the south. She would actually have to tail the minister's wife during functions and communicate to the base with a radio. I'd never heard of body guards for clergy--wild! I know she has a website somewhere, but once someone leaves, I usually lose track of them, except for The Office Troll!

So thanks to Heather for getting me started on my sentimental ramblings! Love and blessings to all my J/H friends...don't want to name names, too afraid of missing someone. Speaking of missing someone, where is Susy? So come on anyone who happens to read this:  Post, comment, socialize! Join this happy group of regulars!
