Pennies for your thoughts part 66

Once Again We start another journal of laughs and lyrics, tears and truth, and whatever else you want to share!

Whatever our differences, we have found a common bond of friendship, kindred spirits and unconditional love.


We wanted to share a special poem, we'd hang it on the door.

A Special Bond
by Rae Scales

Even though we have never met,
I feel a bond between us.
A bond that should have taken years to build,
Yet was built in a month or two.
A bond that lifelong friends should have,
Although most never do.
A bond that I am glad to share with you...
My Friend and Confidant.

You are not here in body and soul,
But as a lighted rectangle.
You come to me every day as
A message on my screen,
A message that I can rely on
To cheer me up and make my day.
Through a keyboard we share
Our ups and downs.

I have opened my inner self to you,
And you have to me as well.
We have traded secrets and laughs,
As well as sorrows and pain.
I have never met you, but feel as if
I have known you most of my life.
To most this might sound silly,
But I assure them, it is not.

wow - part 66 - can you imagine -

66 times 500 (at least 500) is over 33,000 post - no wonder we feel so close - that's a lot of stuff shared between us.

Cindi - I found out about the food stuff when my niece & I took some of the kids to "Blue Bayou" water park in Baton Rouge several yrs ago. They actually took the snack food out of our bags and threw it in the trash - no option to take it back to your vehicle. Hope you can work it out for ya'll - have a wonderful time - enjoy the moments!!

Everyone else - Happy Memorial Day - Hopefully the next time I visit it will be from my laptop from the house connection!!!!!!!!!

Peace to you all!

Rita aka Rafaella , or ReeRee or Japic or whatever - believe it can't be any worse than some of the things I've been called before!!

Can you get arrested for taking their trash, when its your trash?

Guess maybe Ill find out. LOL.

Not gonna worry about it. Im glad I looked up parking fees though I dont remember it being $12 last time...Yikes. Now I just have to find that cheapest gas thingy cause if memory is correct it may be cheaper to get gas in Orlando than here before I go....

Theyve had those gas giveaways here too but so limited it didnt seem worth the fight. It does cost me over $80 to fill up but once Im full Im good for 2 weeks. Just having the kids at home and no running all over getting them saves me $40 a week

you guys have ARCO stations down there? those are consistently the cheapest up here....one right down the street from my house by the by....AND if you use your debit card instead of CREDIT, you get 6 cents off per gallon...the seattle gas prices . com site says it was selling at 3.77 today!!! so with my debit card it's 3.71, but then they add a 40 cent surcharge so you have to get at least 7 gallons to break even

never heard of ARCO. name stores like Citgo and shell have actually had better prices here.

Finally, for an addict its not a good sign, but I dont worry when I see AH "mixing" a drink. Its when hes got glasses around of the liquor straight or vodka in a water bottle when I know its gonna be a long night.

See yous have a great one.

i know you're right anvil - he can't work much right now cuz his truck engine died, but yeah i agree the drink was a very bad idea. guess hes not so done after all. hes really gonna be pissed when he realizes i took the rest of the $ that was left and hid it (on me). who ever knows what goes thru that man's mind, i'm gonna give up on trying to figure it out.

Have a great weekend Cindi.

no we don't have ARCO either, here the cheapest gas is either Hess or WaWa.

some of our grocery stores have gas stations on the premise too now...like Albertsons or Fred Meyer or Safeway and if you have the discount card it's like 3 cents off per gallon.

finally, the whole thing with your AH just bites. he sounds like an irresponsible spoiled teenager....and living with mommy and daddy who will take care of his every need.......he gets arrested and has a cocktail, meanwhile you go fight city hall and congress and pay thru the nose to get the van back that HE used while scoring drugs so you could go to work......WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE??????
