CherryFizz Anne - are you here?

18 years ago

Dear CherryFizz and/or Anne,

I am the old MenoGinger from days of yore! Spike sent me to the teacups and took away my account and all possibility of ever coming here again! All because I had the audacity to ask Spike why some forums paid and some were free and what was the skinny on that! He was a bit like Hugo Chavez I think! He killed off the opposition to his control! LOL

But.. I digress!

I just asked where you were on the Cooking Forum and a few people said you were here!

How are you? Do you even remember me?

I think of you every now and then and have always hoped you had a successful and good life!

I remember when your mother passed away and how you had to pick yourself up by the bootstraps and start marching a whole new life!

Are you here? I hope you are and I really hope you are happy!

CherryFizz is here. No doubt she will see your message soon. She still is working with WebTV. Her area is having a storm right now. She may be outside shovelling snow and freezing rain.

So what can you tell me about Ann Arbor?
Q
Comments (65)
So guess what? I've now been to Ann Arbor for the first time in my life! Loved the town! Had some fabulous food there, and just found the entire Main. St. area to be very authentic, very lively on a summer Wed. afternoon, fabulous farmers market going on till 2, just perfect. After traipsing around Main St. for a bit, we drove to the Chain of Lakes area which was just about the perfect distance away, 30 minutes or so from the Main St., and an easy drive. As we drove on, I fell more and more in love with the landscape, which got more and more rural and beautiful as we approached the lake area. We first went to Portage Lake, and then to Baseline Lake. My first glimpse of Portage was perfect. Really liked the size, the setting, everything. It's a little difficult to GPS your way around a lake because I didn't have a specific address, just wanted to explore. The main part we saw had houses much too close together for my liking, though I loved many of the styles of homes. Similar feeling about Baseline. The overall problem was that my mom and sister are not good explorers. They are real homebodies, and don't get out to explore much on their own, so they were completely panicked about finding our way back, driving willy-nilly down roads that suddenly popped up etc. Once I realized I just wasn't going to be able to explore the way DH and I would, I just gave up on truly exploring the area. I did sneak down to the water's edge by trespassing at a house that looked somewhat vacated. The water seemed fairly clear, but there was definitely some algae at the shore. Not sure if that is a once every ten years kind of issue, or ongoing. At least I got to see the area, and assuming we could find a somewhat private waterfront home, it would definitely be in the running. On the other hand, 2 1/2 hours drive time from my sister's home to a lakehouse might prove to be too much adventure for mom and sis.... We're still hoping to get to Sleeping Bear at the end of Sept. so we'll have something to compare to. Thank you all so much for your help getting me there!

Ooooh I want some of that right now. LOL When I chose my name Cherryfizz all those years ago I didn't even know there was a drink out there that was called Cherryfizz. I had just eaten a bowl of cherries and had a cream soda sitting next to me on the table and when I needed a name to post at the Care Givers Forum I just looked around the room and the name came to me. Thanks for the drink. Anne

On the virtual memory error, a lot of times a reboot can take care of things. Rebooting solves a lot of troubles. Windows often gets "confused". There's several causes for virtual memory errors, a couple of them but surely not all, are too many things running in the background, programs not "letting go" of the memory, insufficient ram, etc. I think I may have led you astray on Comodo. I did a quick search and I'm seeing something that they don't support Windows 2000. A firewall is very important. You should look for one though. I'll see what I can find. The AVG "warnings" are just that. It's a bad term, tends to indicate more danger than there really is. Tracking cookies can be bad so it's good that they remove them. If you get Spywareblaster working you'll have fewer of them. But let AVG do its job and it'll protect you. You're learning as you go. Good for you. Enjoy the computer!

Anne has her sister visiting but she said she will check in here once her sister goes to bed. I didn't talk to her too long as her supper was ready to come out of the oven.

Thanks to everyone for helping to keep this thread current!!

And CherryFizz.. or Anne, I just want you to know that years ago, when you so selflessly gave so much to your mother, it earned my respect and appreciation.

When you had to grab your bootstraps and get back at life and build your own future again, you earned my prayers.

I am sorry Spike chased me away.. he was a wicked man if you ask me.

Had I been able to stay, I would have told you how much I supported and admired you.

I hope you are as happy as you can possibly be now.. with more sunshine and smiles yet to come!

I wondered why Anne hadn't answered. WebTV does seem to give her problems at times. Waving to ya Anne!

LOL Thanks Donna and Heather for letting me know about Ginger's post. My sister went home today so now my time is mine but I did try a few times to get into the KT since Heather called but I couldn't get the pages to load and it took me almost 5 minutes just to get the THS homepage to open and after 10 minutes of trying my webtv reboots itself so I have to start over.

Hi Ginger! Were your ears burning?? I really can't believe this because I was just talking about you to my friend after I told her she should read the Menopause forum. I told her how you had gotten banned by Spike and that you started your own board for a while. I did read there but then I lost the link.

Thank you for all the nice things you said about me. I really appreciate it.

I sure did have to "pull up my bootstraps" after my Mom passed away but I had lots of help and support from my forum friends and from my real life friends.

I was working for a bank for a couple of years until they downsized their staff big time and because I was a casual worker I was laid off but I had put enough into savings to keep me going until I find something else. I have to be very frugal with my spending but I pet sit for neighbours and babysit to make extra cash. My brother rents a house that I inherited from my Mom so that helps a bit too. I took the mortgage off my house and put it on the rental house so Paul's rent pays my mortgage. LOL I don't really consider it my house because I haven't stepped foot in it for over 10 years - Paul is responsible for the upkeep. Per my Mom's will I can't sell the house as long as a family member lives in it. LOL That house is my retirement fund.

Ginger, I have had wonderful good things happen in my life that I just can't explain since my Mom passed away. Unbelieveable kindness from strangers, from friends, from my forum friends and from neighbours. Overwhelming kindness that I hope one day to forward on to all who have touched my life.

Ginger, I am happy and I experience joy every day of my life.

I haven't found the love of my life yet, no Mr. Right but then I am not out looking too far for him. I am waiting for him to come to me! LOLOL I've got my eye on someone though. My friend's Dad who passed away last year always told me to pray to St. Ann for a man but so far that prayer hasn't been answered - yet. LOL

Enough about me, Ginger how are you and how is your life and are you happy? I have thought of you many times over the years and wondered how you were doing. I am still so surprised that we thought about each other at the same time!

I hope you come back to post with us now that Spike is no longer here - not that I know of anyway. I used to like reading your posts.

You can email me anytime through My Page above if you would like.

Thank you again for thinking of me and saying the nice things that you did.

Anne
