Making New Friends (Updates)

11 years ago

Hi everyone,

Well, to my surprise, the last cast party of the year was tonight. It was a small gathering, mainly because most of the cast didn't realize it was tonight, and some had to leave early or couldn't be there for other reasons, but it was still fun to get out for an hour.

I've met a new friend on here (he isn't part of this forum, but is on GW), who also loves gardening, cooking, writing, and has a wonderful personality, so far. I'm sending him some flower seeds and I'm including 7 recipes in the mix. I hope he likes them! It's strange, I usually don't feel this connected or happy about anyone so quickly, especially online. I don't know what it is about him, but I'm smiling more lately :).

I'm happy for you Brad. It is always nice when you connect with someone new and they become a friend.

Thank you, Ann!

I've been so thankful for the friends I've made on here over the years :). Maybe I'll get lucky and maybe I'll meet a very special someone on here (strange I know).

Some of the recipes I sent him were my Gram's Lemonade, my recipe for Deviled Eggs, Pink Lady Cake, Buffalo Chicken Dip, Broccoli Salad, and the other two were desserts, I know that much lol.

Been feeling in a funk lately, but I've had such a great past couple days getting ready for Christmas and my mood was stellar yesterday. Maybe things are changing for the better :).

Do I sound like I'm in love? lol

Thanks, April! I sew for fun, and also make quilts...but I never use a pattern. Can't read the things! Which is why I don't crochet much. I'm pretty good at knitting a simple afghan, though! :O) (meaning: if you like a single color, boring stitch!) lol Selling on Ebay is OK, but I've found it's only worth it with bigger ticket items, like over $10. Because there are list fees, ending value fees, and paypal fees too....so unless you charge an extra $2-3 on top of regular shipping charges (which most sellers do, it costs around $7 to ship a SHIRT! Geeze!). Anyway, I don't Ebay much anymore, only with things I KNOW will sell fairly well, because it just takes too much time...and it's not worth it in the end, to me. But I hope you make a good go of it, if you decide to try! Wishing you lots of luck!! :O) I forgot to show ya'll Aubeni's "cupcake". OhMyGoodness, I don't know WHAT I was thinking when I got this for her! (well, OK...it's pretty. That's what I was thinking!) :O) It's an 8" round Rose, chocolate cupcake in the middle (about the size of a mini muffin!!) and the rest is sugar icing. Big DUH here....I let her eat it for breakfast this morning!!!! I'm gonna be peeling her off the ceiling in about 30 minutes. (countdown begins....NOW......) LOL

How stupid is OJ? Hmmmm, that could take a while to list! Britney is certifiable at this point. Can you say "lay low for a while?" Geeze, these people don't know when to go run and hide! I'd have jumped in the nearest hole if I had any of the trouble those goof balls have had! I don't know if I blame the parents after they become of age. I think each of us has that inner voice that jumps up and screams "This is a baaaaad idea!". They just drink and drug too much to hear it.

Not strange at all, Brad.

I've made some very good friends here, friends that I stay in contact with and enjoy their company, even after they stop posting here.

I think we all came here because we had something in common, and so it's easy to become friends, we have mutual interests. At least, many of us do.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, to you, too Annie!

I'm in a much better mood now :). Just brimming with optimism and hope and maybe a touch of love. I told my new friend (his name is Michael), that I crocheted him something yesterday that I'll be sending with his Christmas card. I think he liked that since it got an "lol aww" out of him ;). I would be lying if I said I wouldn't smile or sometimes blush and get giddy when I talk to him here online (FB mostly).

I couldn't agree with you more about us all coming here because we had something in common. My life has been changed for the better since I joined GW.

Brad, I'm glad your life has gotten better and that you are in a good mood again.

Now get to crocheting, LOL.

LOL what I made him only took about 15 minutes to do (a butterfly with a pipe cleaner for a body and the antenna). I hope he likes it and the recipes I'm sending him. I know he said he likes deviled eggs, so that's why I included the recipe for mine :).
