I come onto tribe but Savannah needs attention. One day I was excited that I was able to read 5 emails and respond.
Today? She has just woke and is screaming. You know the kind...that little girl scream. Boys can't do it. My ears hurt.
Hope to see all of y'all one day in never never land.
I LOVE Y'ALL....DON'T FORGET ME.

We are living in times of great history. Most of us realize this. I never thought that I would live to see the day when a black man and a white woman would square off for the nomination of the Democrat Party. Any party for that matter.
Now throw into the mix that Senator McCain might ask Condoleezza Rice to be his running mate and we sure do have history in the making. Frankly, I don't think she would accept even if she has inspirations to run which she denies. McCain stood up just like George Wallace back in the sixties and said that Arizona would not follow suit by declaring a holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King. How could she look him in the eyes even after he has apologized?
So, I read on tribe today where one guy thinks that Hilary will be the one to vote. He said that she paid her dues by overlooking her husbands indiscretions while in the white house. He also said that was a part of the reason that she won the senator seat in New York. Won or was nominated....have to give that some thought.....This guy amazed me with his thinking but hey, we never know what is really going on in this country. We only know what we are told. Chinese have more info about their country's workings that we do....when it comes down to the it.
So, pay attention to the state of our country during these times. It will be something that you will tell your grandchildren. Trust me on that much.

Ever wonder who the big users of energy are in this world. This map will give you an answer in a sec.
Amazing isn't it?
I have to wonder if we could warm the sun by combining all energy into one spot.

There was a time when I was on tribe a lot. During those times, I had a lot of friends. Stayed in touch with a lot of people in a lot of different tribes. Not to mention having a ball most everyday. I felt like most of my best friends were on Tribe.
Then something happened and I didn't have time for Tribe. I come on now and look around knowing that I have a million post in that tribe, eight hundred and eighty-seven in another one and hundreds of thousands in even more. I haven't been to them because I would be so lost and there would probably be new members and they would wonder who the strange broad is.
That is what happens when we leave Tribe for a while. We feel lost. That is exactly what I am feeling. LOST.....I wonder why some people who used to stay in touch never say hi and then just tonight, an old friend sent a message out of the blue. It sure did my heart a lot of good. That one person who remembers me and wants to not forget me. That made my night. All of my good friends who have never lost touch make my life good and I never forget them. They live in my heart.
I realize that Tribe will probably never be the same for me again. When I found Tribe was when I didn't have much going on in my life and I had the time to make friends and hang out visiting and having fun and not worrying about a thing. Now, I have things to do. I have to hit the pool so many days a week to keep my body in an upright position. I have to keep the yard from being condemned by the city. I have to keep the house in good enough shape so that the people from the latter day saints will knock on my door,and then I can refuse to answer it. I have to watch television shows that I have become too attached to while I was away from Tribe. Plus, I have to stay in touch with my friends who still love me enough to call me when I forget to call them. Oh, and I have to be a granny to some wonderful little boys who can eat a half gallon of ice cream after lunch in one sitting. I didn't know that could be done. Just call me amazed.
So, if you happen to read this, which I do not think as many people will as before, say hi as I love to know that people still think about me, while I live my life a little further away from Tribe.
Trust me....The South Is Going To Rise Again...................

I have been away from tribe for a while. It sure has been hard for me to be away from all of my wonderful friends. However, while I was away, I have been doing a lot of other things. My yard looks great. My back hurts....imagine that.
I painted a bookcase and arranged it to look oh so pretty. Such a joy to have that chore out of the way. I am painting my guest bedroom a dark red...well, it sort of looks red but leans toward a brownish red. I plan to trim it in deep yellow. Heck, I might even add some green being the conservative woman that I am. :)
The south and especially Alabama is parched as dry as a river bed in Ariizona in the dry season. We have lost a lot of our crops as has Georgia and Mississippi. Gas prices are though the ceiling, food prices are climbing like a vine on a tree in the forest....just saying that in the middle of all of the bad that is coming our way, I have started to feel better than I have in years. My energy level is floating around the tree tops and I am getting things done for the first time in years.
Having a few scares with my health must be the reason for my new and improve attitude. I am loving life and can't wait to get up in the mornings to see what is coming my way. I answer the phone with a zing in my voice again. I am laughing at things that are as dumb as a rock....heck, I love it.
Life is good and when July comes, I am going to throw myself a birthday party and invite everyone that I know, have known or will know. Invites are going out asking people to bring a dish and something to drink. I will furnish the place and a reason to party.
I have been on this earth longer than I will be. I want to see people that I haven't seen in years, people that I have never seen and people that I love and always have. I want some durn attention. Sound goofy? Yep, that is me. Just call me by that name and I will come running.
Love to y'all as y'all know how much I love ya. So, give me a big hug and let's talk. PM me. I am ready to talk. :) Oh, and don't forget to pack a picinc basket and come see me in July. :)

about me
Actually, I am from another Solar System but after I came here for a visit to inspect and find out how humans survive on this planet, I decided to hang around to see if I could survive. I didn't do as well as my leader had hoped. I have been divorced twice, had two sons, write, did love hiking and most things physical. I became a country girl who moved to the city and now would like to go back. I can't get over the peace and tranquil life that the country offers. My leader has told me to stay where I am.
I enjoy shooting pool with the big boys. Playing the piano and singing to myself has been interesting.
I have lived in the same small town in the heart of the south for 30 years. That can get boring at times but it makes me feel safe. I write hoping to be published one day. Share the wonderful, blessed love of four grandsons. My spirit is much younger than my years, my body responds like a 30 year old, my mind is never still and my heart is full of love.
At this point in my life, I find that I need to either marry or have a handy man move in with me. Someone to paint my house, do the yard work, cook the meals, wash the clothes and clean the house while I sit on the sofa looking pretty while filing my nails and reading a book. :)
If she could overcome all that she did in her life, we should give everything we have to being the best that we can be.
This should sum things up.
"If I regarded my life from the point of view of the pessimist, I should be undone. I should seek in vain for the light that does not visit my eyes and the music that does not ring in my ears. I should beg night and
day and never be satisfied. I should sit apart in awful solitude, a prey to fear and despair. But since I consider it a duty to myself and to others to be happy, I escape a misery worse than any physical deprivation.
Helen Keller
"Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood."
Marie Curie
"I don't wait for moods. You accomplish nothing if you do that. Your mind must know it has got to get down to work."
Pearl Buck
"The small battles are fought between the armies of nations, the great wars are fought within oneself"

:...there is such a thing as perfection...and purpose for living is to find that perfection and show it forth...Each of us is in truth an unlimited idea of freedom. Everything that limits us we have to put aside."

Miss Bren Is one of my dearest and closest friends! SHE is such a rare GEM where friends are concerned, She has been there for me through some of my darkest moments and there in the brighest times as well. I am so blessed to know Brenda and am humbled and proud to be able to call her my "Big Sis" !! If it weren't for TRIBE, I would have never met nor gotten to know this FABULOUS SHINY CREATURE, she is filled with a wonderous heart, knowledge and laughter!
We, who know her are all blessed people!!
I Loves me some Miss Bren!!

Bren-Duh has become one of my most valued online friendhips. Her love, insight, and compassion is deeply real, and she's a huge bright spot in my "Tribe" days.
Thank you Bren-Duh for being such a wonderful woman, and thank you for sharing yourself with us. My life is fuller having you as a friend. X's & O's!
Love Ya!

Bren is like a candle in the darkness, a warm, fuzzy blanket when the cold wind blows. I'm so grateful to have met such a warm, wonderful and talented human being with such big shoulders on her petite frame, that many can cry at once.

Bren Duh is someone who makes Tribe what it is.
When she is naive we adore her and when she guides us through difficulties, we wonder why she dwells here, but thank the powers that be.
September 21, 2005
Look no further. Brenda is all you need.
September 4, 2005
My memory circuits which are artificially bringing me memories longer than a month, tell me beyond no uncertain terms, that Bren-Duh is the Master TribeMaster and we are beyond fortunate to have her among us. As one life unit, it is beyond Bren-Duh's programming to know us all personally or even me any more than occasionally, but her presence is expansive and logically resonating.

I didn't think there were any real live southern belles left but I can see now I was wrong. Bren is charming, sweet, funny, and she can draw!
