On top of this are the internet bullies, the newly affluent, the sick, the tired, the fiesty, the arrogant and the truly kind....all who have been that way for awhile or are trying out new personas.
There are a lot of "fresh starts" here and some invent their pasts to present to others.
In other words, we are older Americans most of us and we are thrown together in a new experience that really is making history on this planet.
I like that about this place and I hate that about this place. Sometimes I long for the way people acted pretty much the same back home.
But considering all that do I love it? You bet your sweet bippy I do.

I learned a hard lesson taught quick here. Was sucked in on TOTV used and once this person moved here was spit out like car exhaust. Or for you Car Guys Suck Squeeze Bang Blow! Lesson learned.
I do feel fortunate to have meet You and Henry. Some day you gotta explain the Boy Howdie thing. I missed something there. It's a good thing right?
