Howdy Mike,

No one is ever late here.  It is a 24/7 party.  I am just happy to know that you are my friend.  You have a unique one of a kind sense of humor that is greatly appreciated.  Every time I see the waving trashcan, I know something of interest has been written.  Keep making everyone smile!  Sounds like you better stay out of the wineries for a while... :)   Hey, remember that we are all wrong once in awhile.  Some more than others, but we have all been there.  Just keep those words "I'm very sorry" handy. Yup, I knew there was something special about you, a bit of Texan in you eh?  :)  Just for the record, I live approximately 50 miles from the border.  It comes in handy whenever I make a bad post.  :)

Hey listen!  I am praying that enough folks here will help gift you and Shirley a few bucks to get ya'll to Nashville this week.  I understand what it is like to miss an opportunity of a life time.  It can break a heart like nothing else... Here is the thread where a group of us are gathering the support and gifts....

Hello Rina,

I am very happy that you came by to post here.  I wanted everyone to know just how wonderful you are.  Here is Rina everyone!  :)  Please make sure she is on your friend's list.  I would like to personally thank Natalya for introducing Rina to this forum which is where I met Rina. 

 Oh yes, I spend quite a few hours reading all of the POTW histories.  I was truly amazed at the lives we all live.  They are different in substance, but the flavor seems to be about the same... trials and tribulations... challenges and overcoming... close calls and surviving... I still have many to go.  Pssst! It is my secret treasure chest of inspiration.  :)

Welcome home Rina, we have a special chair for you right over here.  I want to make sure that you have a front row seat for all the POTW celebration to come.  :)  Thank you for being an amazing friend yourself. I appreciate you.
 

"HIGH 5 JOE"

Wow...when you first showed up in Adland you had a...

"Hey...You Lookin' At Me?" appearance.

3 months later you are...Front Page News!!!

"You have changed AdlandPro forever"

Congratulations...your friend Steven.

Hey Joe, I just accepted your invitation! They say you should drink about 8 glasses of water a day, to remain hydrated. How many folks do you know that drink that much water? I know I have a difficult time doing it, except in the summer when it's hot, and that's when one should drink more! We all know that when we drink beverages that have caffeine, that dehydrates, and also alcohol. So on a trip like I did last night where I was up all night, and didn't get to bed until 7:00 this morning, I know I was dehydrated, cause on a 3:00 flight, where there are no restrooms, you gotta restrain from drinking anything so you don't have to go to the bathroom!!

Anyway, it's good to get to know another Texan, by the way, there are many good Texans out there, and most of them, at least the ones I've met, have a heart as big as Texas!   Thanks for the come back, and thanks for the invite!

Simply C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !!! Joe !!! I think it's your generosity of time for the community here that is why you're POTW !!! Yeah !!! Enjoy your week, Beth
