William thank you for introducing Shelly I have not had the pleasure of meeting her. It is things like you have done here that reminds me how great a group of people there are here a Adland. Shelly as I read your powerful poem it brought memories flashing through my mind. Memories of times when you give of yourself because you care only to have what you gave returned to you dirty and broken. Memories of times when you give of yourself and you are shown that what you gave has no value. That our giving of ourselves was not received but wasted as if it had been thrown on the wind. Life is a wonderful journey but often times it is family and friends that put obstacles in the road so that we take our eyes off of the beauty around us and make us concentrate on the obstacles. Shelly thank you for having the courage to send the poem to William so that we could have the privelage of reading it and sharing a little of the journey you are on. I know that with the help of William, Linda and others you will be able to get over or around the obstacles and be strong on the road that you walk. Thank you Bo

Hello William, Silly!! I was only 6 or 7 yrs old than!! LOL!! Honey your day will come!! Your Spirit and Soul has to find just the right time. Thank you my Great Friend, Smiles

Hello Bo. Thank you for stopping by and welcoming our new friend Shelly to our forum. Ususally I have a lot to say but you my friend have said it all and there is no need fr me to add thing. Come back and visit us often Bo. You are always welcome here.

Ahhh. You bashful little thing. You have added another dimention to my forum here. Nobody wants to talk to me anymore. They all want to talk to you. LOL. I can't tell you how happy I am to have you here with us . You know, I gotta warn you. I just live right across the border from Ohio in Pa I just might jump in my old Dodge hippy van and run over there to Xenia and give you a big ole hug and a kiss one of these days. You'll know it's me when when I get to town. I'm the one with the van so old that I have gas lanterns instead of headlights. It'll be a long trip though. Especially at night. I have to keep stopping to relight my head lights. Bless you girl, you make me smile from ear to ear and that's a long smile across this big face of of mine. Take care my friend.

Hi Lisa. I guess I can't blame you for being born so late so I'll just blame me for being born so soon. I'm just glad to have you for a wonderful friend. You have brought more happiness and laughter to my life than watching The Blue collar show the other night.Thank you for all that you are and do for all of us here at Adland.
