Now I'm given an opportunity to talk about each of my Special Friends that I have met online. Some people find it strange when you tell them you've been on the computer chatting with online friends. But you know our online friends can be the best friends you'll ever have. Some people don't realize or they forget that behind these monitors are real people with real feelings & real emotions. As we sit here & type to one another we let those we feel close to see the inner part of us. We share our happiness, problems, loneliness, fears, with one another. Just knowing someone is there whom we can talk to, share a few laughs with or cry upon their shoulders, makes our day brighter.
I chat on Yahoo Chat & I have met some very nice
people. A few of them are closer to me than others. You know who you
are, Yeah You!!
Wade--- you are a wonderful man. You have helped me thru some difficult times. I can't say Thank You enough. You have always been there for me, sometimes you just listen and there are times when you will give me advice. There have also been a few times when you have scolded me *smiles*. Wade, you have shown me what true friendship means & I hope that our friendship will last a life time.
Dani--- you are a remarkable woman. We have had our fair share of fun in yahoo chat too (don't you think that private messages are just the greatest thing yahoo invented? *lol*). Not many women would let their husbands chat continuously like Wade & I do, I can't thank you enough for being so understanding about our friendship. You & Wade have the kind of relationship we all dream of. You are a wonderful wife to Wade, he is very lucky to have you.
Tim--- I met you online almost 4 years ago. Tim, there are no "right words" to describe, what our friendship means to me. You already know without any words spoken or written *S*.
Bob---I met Bob in July of this year. I was going through a difficult time in my life. Had just recently quit my job & was going through a personal crisis. Bob was not only understanding, supportive but very patient with me. Looking back on how we first met, how persistent he was in gaining my friendship. I am very lucky, fortunate that he hung in there with me, for I've gained a very close friend. He had told me from the beginning he felt I was withdrawn, had put up walls so I couldn't get close to anyone. In many ways he was right, but somehow Bob managed to knock those walls down. The closer we got to know one another, more of those walls began to tumble down. Bob, is a wonderful caring, loving, gentle, considerate, understanding, loyal, honest man.
Cheryl--- When Cheryl and myself met we had a few disagreements & misunderstandings. However, since that time we have become the best of friends. Cheryl is one of the sweetest lady's I've met on here. She has this great sense of humor, which keeps us laughing most of the time. Looking back on when we first met, how we almost ended up being enemies verses friends, I can only say if it weren't for going through that experience (as painful as it was for both of us) we would have never met. Now, I've got a close friend, whom I cherish dearly. We are inseparable now, we chat in the same rooms every chance we get. I feel blessed to have you as a friend Cheryl & I hope our friendship last forever *S*.
Barry--- is a very talented, gifted man. He writes such beautiful poetry. I feel honored he has chosen to share them with me. He describes things through words so vividly. He has such a way with words, seems like they flow from his mind onto paper. Even though he doesn't spend as much time chatting as he use to, he makes time to come online from time to time to let me know he hasn't forgotten his other friends *S*.
Kevin---has one helluva sense of humor. He can make you laugh even in your darkest of moods. He never has a negative thought no matter the circumstances or situation. Kev has this way about him, his personality that won't reveal too much, in other words he keeps me guessing most of the time. I think that is how he and I relate to one another, I'm moreorless the same way. We both decipher what the other is trying to convey, we both look deeper, analyze each message for hidden clues. And when the other is correct we won't admit it. Always keep em guessing huh Kev? *laughs*. Kev you are the greatest friend a gal could have *smiles*.
Harold--- did you think I was gonna forget to mention you? No way, Never!! He he has a great sense of humor. Harold & I both live in the same town. Hey Harold now that you've told me where you work you better watch out. I live within walking distance. I failed to mention that didn't I? *LOL*. He's a terrific guy, very sweet, and very....ok, I won't say it Harold but I'm watching you *LOL*. Harold has volunteered to teach me how to create animated gifs. He is really good at it, I've seen some of his creations.
I have other friends in yahoo, although I don't talk with each & every one of them on
a daily basis. I do think they are all very special & friendly people. You couldn't ask for better friends. Some of our
imaginative ideas in yahoo chat are so fun & creative. Whether it be a simple conversation that everyone joins in on, sharing & helping someone with their problems, water gun & balloon fights, snowball fights, playing guessing games, telling jokes, we all have a blast. I also have ICQ, which you can chat privately with someone, send pics or transfer files. It also lets you know when your friends are online. It's a great program, for those who don't have ICQ you can download it here.
Here are a few pics of some friends that I have met in the chat rooms. I wish I had a pic for every person I have met, for they have all in some way touched my heart.
Wade (Guysdoitalthetym)
Wade (Guysdoitalthetym) Dani (Ladywithclasssss)
Dani don't be too upset with me for putting this pic of you & Wade in these costumes on here. Dani didn't want me to use this pic, but I did anyway *hehehe* (don't they look cute? *smiles*)
Wade and Dani, you both are kind & good hearted people to everyone.
There is hardly a day that goes by, that we don't talk or send one another an email. When something happens where one of us can't come online, Wade will call on the phone. Of course now we talk on Freetel (an audio chat program). I've also talked with his wife Dani a few times, she is so sweet, kind & understanding. They both have this accent & I just love to listen to them talk. They both are very thoughtful friends. I can't thank them enough for their friendship, kind words, encouragement & thoughtfulness. You guys are the "Best" Dani & Wade!
Bob (Chaz150)
Bob, is truly a good, close friend. It feels as though we've known each other for years. Even though circumstances have changed us somewhat, we've still managed to be good friends. I sincerely wish you the best in life and hope you find the happiness you seek. You will always hold a special place in my heart. I hope we can continue to be good friends for years to come. Maybe one day we can look back on all that has taken place & can honestly say to one another, it was for the best!
Cheryl (Squirrel_f40)
Cheryl, what can I say other than your friendship means the world to me? The times we spending chatting, meeting more friends, having fun in an imaginary world have brightened a many of day for me. Others may not understand that our lives feel empty & some of us need this imaginary place to run to, it's our way of escaping. Thank you Cheryl from the bottom of my heart for being such a great friend to me. Meet you in chat let's say 30 minutes *LOL*.
Kevin (Kev has too many names to list) & his fiancee' Kim
Kevin is a sweetheart *smiles*. Easy going, great personality, openminded, loves to talk about anything & everything. He goes the distance & then some, he goes that extra mile (winks). He does things on the spur of the moment without hesitancy or looking back, no regrets (that pretty much sums up Kev's personality)!!! Kev, you are one of a kind, live life to the fullest, have a lot to offer the world. Your imaginative ideas go way over my head at times *smiles*. I just go along with you for the ride & entertainment *grins*. Kim is Kev's fiancee', I don't know her personally but she is one very lucky woman indeed. Wishing you both the very best life has to offer. Oh & Kev..let me know when Mary comes to visit *grins*. Oh & Kev, one more thing, I could list all those names you'd like to use on yahoo we talked about earlier today, but I'll refrain *laughs*. I know you blush easily (hehehehe), but you know, each and every one of the names you & myself chose for you, fit your description, especially in reference to going that extra mile (winks). My favorite was EOD (Nah, I can't reveal it's meaning, sorry) *Smiles*.
Barry (Cntryboy42 & Hhooch)
Barry, you've always said we were soulmates and yet we've never even met. You and I have been good friends for a few years, heard one another's sorrows and, fears. What would we do without one another? You've had it rough Barry, but have managed to turn a bad situation around for the better. You are a good man that has family standards & morals, a loving father to your children. I'm honored that you consider me your friend. Please stay in touch as often as you can, share your happiness with those that care about you. Wishing you and your's the very best in life *smiles*.
Austin (Austinz97)
Austin, you are truly one of a kind. Men like you are few & far between. You are so kind, sweet hearted, understanding, generous, considerate of others, oh the list just goes on & on *S*. I am so glad I met you. I enjoy our chats & hope our friendship continues indefinitely.
Harold (Wierd1)
Harold & I met when I had internet service with the company he worked for. I went in one day to pay my bill & there he was. He asked me go around his desk, said he wanted to show me a few things (he flirts so discreetly *LOL*). Ever since then, he has been stalking me *LOL* j/k Harold. I want to know how he found out so much personal info on me, were you reading my email Harold? *S*. Harold & I chat on icq every chance we catch up with one another. He is a good friend. I enjoy chatting with him. Hey Harold, I got my binoculars in my hands, I can see you *LOL*.
Norb (Northstar41)
Norb helped me with a few puter problems I was having. I also met him in yahoo chat. Thanks Norb, for your help couldn't have done it without you. Hey Norb, Guess what? I finally had to break down & buy a new one *S*. I don't get much time to chat with Norb anymore. Not enough hours in the day. Norb is so very sweet & kind. Always enjoyed chatting with him. He is also "available", just thought I'd let all those pretty eliglible women know. Norb, I told you I was gonna say something like that on here. You didn't believe me, did you? *LOL* Take Care of yourself & your two boys Norb. They are very lucky to have a Dad as Great as you.
Roger (Wizzard40)
Roger is another kind gentlemen. I also met him in yahoo chat. Remember our first meeting Roger *LOL*. I liked those messages that were sent to me by mistake. I believe I told you just how much I enjoyed them (hehehe). Roger, is another one that I don't get a chance to chat with much anymore. He is an all-around Great Guy, a perfect Gentlemen in my opinion. Roger take care of yourself & your wonderful family, they are very fortunate to have you.
