SAM, Deb, WOW GREAT POST!! You should be authoring books of inspiration, dramatic love stories, inspiring adventures, or you can just continue to bring so much friendship, wisdom and love to us here at TOTV. WE LOVE YOU SAM!!!!!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

I love you back,RR. When are you going to teach me the electric slide???

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

I haven't been on in about one week due to travel, weather, lack of sleep and internet not working in two hotels.

I was not aware that anyone said anything about how many times people post - I agree with what Sam wrote 100% I also look forward to reading the post and learning what is new in everyones life.

Thank you for putting is so well. Forgot how when I first became a member of TOTV I was very wary of all of you. I would not divulge any info about myself, after all l was afraid to. Read to many horror stories about internet chat groups, etc.

Down the road from us a person was found dead - internet romance. Just added another reason to be wary of all of you. I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happpppppppppppppppppppy I got past all of that.

Here people have business meetings at 6:30 am UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH. Now that is the pits.

Nonie Congratulations,

From centuries of dieting going down 1/2 dress size means you lost 10 pounds.

I probably gained that 1/2 dress size here.

Sam....Sign up for the line-dancing classes at Savannah or wherever they advertise them in TV now. Not necessarily the Learning Ctr where the cost is so much more. The classes held at the club houses are such fun and made up of a bunch of great sports who are not at all intimidating if you end up in the opposite direction of the rest of the class.

When I started, there were fewer choices of times to attend. I recall my neighbor and I would attend the 8:30 AM (yikes!! zzzzz) class at the Savannah. I often thought that how could I ever conceive this moment as becoming a reality? Line dancing at 8:30 AM, NEVER!! Wrong!! They now have afternoon and evening classes, I believe, and don't get discouraged if, at first, you find it awkward. Go with the determination to stick with it and guaranteed you will enjoy the jovial crowd.

Barb, if I did that people would be laughing like crazy. I have two left feet when it comes to dancing...line dancing that is.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Sam I thought I had the two left feet I guess I have the two right feet, :dontknow: then to add to my woes I get my left and right mixed up and the final problem is I can not recall more than the first 4 or so steps.

So you can picture me in a line dance with two right feet, going the wrong way and then getting hopelessly lost after the fourth step. What I do in situations like that is 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl laughing at myself.

I give all of you permission to 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl with me.

We did take ballroom dancing and fortunately Sid knows not only his left from his right but has one of each and remembers all the steps. All I have to do is follow. What a man he is.
lovehorse lovehorse lovehorse

Deb....Some may be laughing at you and all the while you will be laughing at many more that also have two-left feet.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Sammy, that was a beautiful post about the contribution "frequent posters" make to TOTV. You are a very special person and dear to many hearts. Life would be very dull without the group of TOTV addicts. 024

Sammy, I have a request since you started this topic. I wouldn't even have thought of this, except I am currently on dial-up internet service here in the boonies at a cottage in Canada. And perhaps there are others in the same boat. There have been 907 posts on this thread and it takes forever to access threads like this that have had many replies. Could you possibly start a Chatters Talk, Part 2, so we can all still chatter away, but it will be far easier for those of us on dial-up to access. Thanks so much! :bow:

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Hyacinth and Barb, you are to kind. Thanks. I still think I'll ask Ronda to show me some moves. That child has rhythm!!
Bare, will they let us do that? Can we call it "Bare Chat"? Or "Bare's Dial Up lifeline"

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Hey Sam I just read your dynamic post. I've been too busy making everyone beautiful. Thanks so much for including me in such a great group of TOTV'ers. It made my day!!! Johnny

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Beautiful post about the TOTV'ers Sammie. And let me personally thank you for calling me a horse! :o lovehorse

YES! I love all (well most) of the TOTV'ers. When I worked in advertising I used to love being part of the creative team. I used to think I'll never find those kind of creative, funny, spicy, brilliant, irreverent, quick-minded people again. And for years, I didn't.

I found them here. On TOTV. And add to that list warm-hearted and caring. (Advertising is not known for these two attributes)

((((((((((((group hug))))))))))

And to the admins. I don't do this often. So get ready. For all you do . . . this one's for you! purrrrrrrrrrrrr :-*

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Chels, you are a hoot!!
Johnny and Barb, we rented out our Mallory house and the renters were all wonderful. All of them were immaculate. One even washed the windows. How wonderful is that??? We have been able to meet some of the nicest people through renting out that property. A lovely British couple are in the house now and they are delightful. You can be really picky about your renters. Let them know up front that you expect them to keep it immaculate. When both parties understand each other, mistakes become less frequent. The couples that rented from us were great and most will be returning to the home this year. The others bought a home here in TV.

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Thanks Sam. We decided to wait one year before any decisions about renting. If we don't sell by September we will stay in TV from October through who knows when. We will leave the key with our realtor. During our last stay in June we bought all new furniture at Lifestyles (they are great) so we can live in Hadley without much else. I will get us there one way or another!

Re: Chatters Talk: Happy or Sad
 

Sam,
We are fixing up our patio villa to rent, hopefully starting by Dec. 1.
Maybe you can give me some tips. I REALLY need em....
I'm looking forward to this rental process tho and also hope to meet some nice people...

Also loved your post about frequent posters.
I feel like I know most of the frequent posters, tho I've never met most of them..

And JohnnyM,,,
I'll be sending positive thoughts your way that the third time will be charm!
Our NC house is supposed to close on Mon., but I am afraid to count my chickens before they hatch. So will wait til the $ is in my hand before I spend it.
I CAN"T IMAGINE the stress you guys must be going thru...
But I believe when something doesn't happen when and how I want it to, there's a reason.
And it always works out for the best. And I believe it will for you guys too...
