Hi! Was glad to do it! When you're right, you're right & it doesn't matter what the subject is. And I remember you, too! LOL I'm glad things are better for you. I didn't post for a long time either because of mean people. When I saw something that I just had to comment to I decided to change up on the name abit, but the Vancouver, WA. was still there. LOL Yes, I was born & raised in Natch. I lived there until 1973 basically. I have been in & out of Natch. to visit my family. They all live there. Natch. is too little for me. Everybody knows everybody & their business! We lived in S'port for 15 yrs. then got tranferred to Liberty, TX. for 4 yrs. & now here. This is where we will retire. And God it's beautiful!!! We live right in the Cascade Mountains. So what about you? Where do you live, etc... I'll keep checking here throughout the evening for you. It's only 7:00 out here. So you're 2 hours ahead of us. Nice to chat with you & hope we can do it some more! I don't know about you, but I can use all the friends I can get! LOL Be back in an hour or so.

OH! Well, then, I'm about 10yrs. older than you are. But that's ok. lol We lived in Liberty, TX> 44miles NE of Houston when the hurricane hit. I was in Houston in the houspital at the time, but it passed over us, luckily. And you said it, sometimes some of these people act so MEAN or stupid, but mostly hateful! And it really makes the good folks look bad, too. I try to remember that not all people are bad. lol I have lost my cool several times on the Natch. forum, but mainly I try to stay off of it. I think it's time I got off of it for a while now! LOL Starting to feel my blood pressure rise! ha! I use to know a couple of people in Campti. Black Lake, too. Not all of them were great people after high school. Some went to drugs & stuff, but I haven't seen them in YEARS! I've been married & divorced a few times myself. So feel bad! Sometimes thigs just don't work out! I've been married to this one for 20yrs. Well, 20 yrs. in Dec. I'm too old now to be single! LOL Plus I can't work due to 3 failed back surgeries so...I have to depend on him to pay the bills & luckily he has an awesome paying job. I miss working. Mostly day care work in the later yrs. Do you work on weekends...tomorrow? I see that it's 11:00 there & you may be in bed so I'll go for now. If you do work Sun. have a great day! I would've loved to have been a nurse! Good for you!!! I don't know exactly where your parish is, but there's a LOT of miles between us anyway! I'll have to figure out a way to get your phone # so I can call you sometimes. It doesn't cost a thing to call long distance. By the way, I raised 2 kids, too, and now we are raising my grandson. We adopted him when he was 2. He's 12 now. I'll be checking back in a while.
