On the subject of online friends, I have many I love to pieces. But I have very few I will confide in with my personal stuff. You'd be surprised that Brad (speck) is the only one who will call me every once in a while and we'll talk for half an hour/an hour. Before he used to call me every other weekend, but life gets in the way sometimes. I still love the dork :lol: Then there's a few more I love and will defend against anything because they're like my big brother/big sister, and I have my Latina ducky fan twin (Lil Ducky :D) I've met some (which kinda makes it weird to come back online afterwards :lookaroun) but there are still a few I'd really like to meet. I also sent out a record of like 7 gifts for Christmas last year and almost 30 Christmas cards :hammer: My parents didn't really think I was nuts for buying a bunch of gifts at WDW for my "pretend" friends. I think they get it now :lol:

I guess my point in all this is that I have 3 real close friends in real life who I tell most things to, but the only reason I talk to one of them is because we see each other every day at the school I sub in (she's a teacher there). The other friends- meh. One's married and the other one is a lazy person who hasn't bothered looking for a job now that she's graduated. Thank goodness for my online pretend friends, otherwise I'd go nuts :lol: Sometimes they can be better friends, but I guess it's easy when you're behind a computer screen :shrug: But maybe not :lol:

Sorry for the rambling...that was just my take on it :o

I feel a lot the same way. I'm not as good with words as Dot, so thank goodness for her reply! When I first started with the MJ threads, I was here a lot for a while and then not so much and then I came back because I couldn't stop thinking about it. And I am SO glad to still be here...when I saw my name in the list of MJ'rs that Dana posted I got a little teary eyed.

I try not to express too much emotion, but I pretty much can't help myself here. It's good that you posted your question Vince, because I looked at Grant Sunday night and said: " You know what? I realize that they are "online" friends" but guess what? I love them and I think about them and I miss them when I can't talk to them. To me, that means that they are my friends." (side note, I was just I was telling him the latest...and it hit me, that you guys really are my friends).

Anyways...ahem...love you all. Or something.:lookaroun

I get you. There is a certain ease to friendships here. If people get on our nerves, we can just go away for a while and come back and no one is the wiser. We don't get angry as easily and if we do, it goes away quicker, I think. I think we're better listeners here. Real life has too many distractions. People don't take the time to listen.

That is true. I went through hell and back during my internship, and my online friends put up with my venting, which I am very grateful for. My real friends, I told them most everything, but it's like whatever. They didn't seem to care (except my teacher friend because she's in the same field as me).

That's because when we come here, we know we're going to read what other people are saying. Which means we have to learn to listen. That's a good thing. In the real world, everyone gets wrapped up in their own lives. Even when you're listening you're thinking of what you're going to say next. Not here! We're a captive audience.

I think Len was rough on Apolo and really ruined what should have been a perfect 60. His opinion of raunchy was a personal call. That dance was smokin'!

I agree. His dance was smokin:sohappy:

YAY! Ok. I was excited to tell y'all... so here goes:


Mama and I had a 10 am apt. at a spa... where we got the world's best (seriously) manicures and pedicures EVER! :sohappy:

They sat us in these gargantuan massage chairs that I almost fell asleep in - then we put our legs in the pedi spa... then got a leg massage while in the chair - (i'm nearly asleep at this point. :lol:) then an amazing foot rub and pedi, followed by a great mani (my guy used 3 different paint brushes to do a french. It was actually pretty entertaining) during which they massaged our arms up to our shoulders... *sigh* bliss...

Then we go and pick up my little sis who just got out of class and went over to the Palmetto Cafe in the Charleston Place Hotel (uber fancy - I've lived here 8 years and have walked by this place about a million times always thinking someday when i hit the jackpot I want to go there... daddy insisted on splurging on mama and I since it was mother's day and my birthday - and we couldn't leave beth out...) so anyways... drinks all around... I had a Peach Bellini, mom had a rasberry martini and beth had the Charleston Place Malibu Punch - which was amazing. My bellini had a frozen peach in the bottom... soooo yummy. Followed by shecrab soup, crab cakes, mini "21" burgers with green sweet basil ketchup and some other small sides... then we topped it off with the most fantastic dessert plate - we got the sampler and split key lime pie, fruit tart, espresso ice cream and carrot cake.

It was hands down the best meal I've ever had in my entire life - so much flavor and everything was incredibly fresh. And I got a glimpse of the bill... :dazzle: $110 later (for the 3 of us) That was the one and only time in my entire life we will be visiting said Palmetto Cafe. :lol:

But it was worth it and amazing.

We sat on the terrace under an umbrella sipping our drinks and feeling rather hoity toity. ;) Should you ever make it to Charleston on a special occassion - or just a nice night out... this is the place to go... (and that was just the lunch pricing... I'm not even going to take a stab at what dinner would have cost for 3...)

It was a treat. Something really special and I'm so glad I was there with my mama and sister...


Anyway... now I'm back to reality. :lol:

Sounds like you really had a great day.

Sorry I left fast earlier today. There are 2 reasons why. 1st of all my internet went down and then I am trying to work on a project for my parents anniversary. Mom is getting me to work on some of their pictures and put them on a CD/DVD. I am trying to find a program on my computer that I like. I found 2 of them and I like them for differant reasons. Now I have to find the best one. Working with some of my pictures to try it out.:sohappy:
