Like K says I worry too much. I almost went back and erased that whole post but then I thought, why? I don't think you all will love me any less for posting it even if it didn't come off right......lol. But laughing aside, that is a great comfort zone to be in. NOTHING is unrectifiable here. Hmmm........this site doesn't recognize that word - maybe I'm wrong.
I throw out more then I post. I'd like to think nothing is wasted. The writing itself is sometimes enough.

So true - kind of cathartic and then you walk away and forget about it. I think on here we have more opportunity to at least try to understand one's character and demeanor even though we don't know each other by sight.

The bottom line is that no one/NOTHING is perfect and because of our ongoing relationships on here we get that, accept it, and as fw says we show respect because of it even if someone makes what they consider a mistake in wording or tone.

Considering what I just said, and your comment about "NOTHING is wasted", maybe NOTHING really is perfect!

NOTHING may not be perfect but it is not depressing and keeps my blood pressure in check.

FW you are so right. Praying for the Hawaiian family an K man and the other firefighters out there doing their thing.

It’s time to Load Em Up And Move Em Out. Packing today and going to miss these little buggars but Skype is NOTHING but a beautiful thing. This is exciting, like another new beginning, just have to get home safely. Adios to the Armpit of The USA, and that’s being kind.

I will laugh in the face of the next person to cry about the drivers in The Villages. You wanna see crazy? Try N.Y. & N.J. I can’t wait to get flipped off or cut off in the Golf Cart. At least it will be where you can’t see the air.

If you got nothing to do and want a little light, entertainment go to youtube and search for Dinner for Five. I just started one with Burt Reynolds and Richard Lewis.

NOTHING but safe travels, my friend. It's always a lot more fun traveling in the direction you want to be going versus the direction you don't want to be going, so enjoy!

I do like to go places, I am not fond of the process of getting there. I didn't use to mind but it has all gotten so much more unpleasant. I am hoping that someone actually does discover a way of teleporting so I would need NOTHING but some floo powder and a fireplace.

Once we get out of New Jerky the only part of the ride I can’t stand is getting around Washington and coming back into NOTHING like Florida. Of course until I see the bestest sign in the world. Welcome to 441 Dunkin Donuts.

The easiest drive we had to TV was the time we left our house between 2 and 3am and made our way south of DC before 5am. NOTHING to it if you get there early enough. Now timing it coming north is a whole different matter.

When we made a long trip we always had a book on tape or other equivalent. This is nothing to brag about but I remember at least one time driving 13 hours, listening to Harry Potter only to sit in the driveway to finish it.

I read and own all of them and the dvds. I thought they were brilliant. I think it was NOTHING but a good choice.

For me they were gifts that made the drive very easy.

The kids were engaged, sleeping or made little shows using stuffed animals. Nothing coming out of speaker woke them up. My younger son, at 10 figured out that if he said that he had motion sickness we gave a kiddie pill to help. He would sleep. We would arrive in Hilton Head or Orlando and he's ready to go to the park or swimming.
