-Wake Up!!!!

Hey Nasoosie,
I sent you a PM but wanted to say here - there's no need to "be like us" - I know that some people are much more logical thinkers and aren't "silly" but that's OK ! Everyone brings different things to the group and I for one appreciate your posts - you have such an interesting perspective on things and I like that !
Take care !

Hat's off to Trudy's response. We sure don't want everyone to be the same! What a bore this place would become. And, Soos, your morning posts have been wonderful. Everyone's morning posts have been wonderful.

That said, this is Zeee's room - and we are only caretakers for her while she's gone. None of us can do just what Zeee does - just as Zeee probably couldn't do just as any of us do - doesn't make anyone better than another (or worse, for that matter). That said, Zeee's morning post is unique to her - and missed - but I sure am glad for everyone who has been doing one in her absense - including you, Soos. So don't feel you shouldn't or can't do the post while Zeee is off - jump in as you have - and don't worry if some don't drink your coffee LOL - that just leaves more for you

Hey, I read this forum religiously but don't post all that often. I love flavored coffee! In fact I put chocolate/raspberry coffeemate in my coffee every day. Sometimes I add a dusting of cinnamon, too. I could never drink it black. As for all the goodies the ladies talk about, it just brings a smile to my face to read the banter. I'm so stuck with what I eat. For the past 30 odd years I'd have a bowl of cheerios with a banana for breakfast! Then I started making my own homemade granola and now have 1/2 container of vanilla yogurt with a banana and about 1/4 cup of the granola. Been eating that for the past 2 yrs. That's not to say that an hour later I don't have a cookie or some sweet! Hello, my name is Lenora, and I am a carb-aholic!!

Amen to that, Beth. I enjoy everybody's post. And I can pretend to like anybody's coffee and breakfast choices. When we meet for real, now, that'll be different! I say, whoever's up first while Barbzeee's away, just jump right in there and start our day!

How will I ever learn and grow if everything I read is the same. I have lived alone for many years and I am set in my ways. My son told me he liked me better when I use to be nice. Soos give your opinion sp? (see I had to look that up in the dictionary) so I can mull it over when I am alone and I will bring my own coffee. You are also an inspiration because you venture out and ski while I sit in the house. How boring if everyone thought the same.

I am coming in on the end of the day here. But Soos just a note, many of us have met each other, which is a real plus, but then went on to our lives wherever it took us. Some days for each of us when the day gets a little to hard to bear it is nice to just talk about what a dream morning coffee clash would be like. What it would feel to each of us to gather in a kitchen and really share that cup of coffee. We each like our coffee different and that is ok, just as we probably wouldn't all eat the same thing if we all did gather in a kitchen. We are individuals, just as you are an individual and that is okay. You talk about your skiing and I think that is wonderful, tried that once, thought I would die. But the thought of you swishing through the snow with your dogs is a wonderful thought. But I will take a chair and watch you heading out and wave hello when you return. Barbzee is going through a difficult time right now and we are all being supportive of her in trying our best to keep the morning coffee going. She has a special talent with the typed word and I will never even come close to what she can do. But you can share along with us the same way we share with you. One day we may all be able to get together and meet you and that will be special indeed. But relax and be yourself, enjoy sharing, just as we all try to share.

Now I will push my soap box back under the bed, and bid you all a good night.

Wow. I am so glad I decided to chek in here just once more before I head off to my warm sleeping bag! I can't thank you all enough for putting up with my morning feelings of inadequacies today......this is one great group of women! I am very proud to be one of your members, and I have learned much since I joined here. I hope to meet you all, or as many as possible, face to face one day down the trail!

Remember that my place here in the mountains is always open to you all when I have my next Ruckus in the Mountains for 2009! (Date and details to follow) I hope to be able to learn how to 'play' better by then!!!! (I DO love to dance when I have had a few shots of my homemade RECIPE!)

Thank you all for your friendship! I will head for bed with my warm Molly now and dream good thoughts of you all.

Nasoosie, thank you for expressing what I have felt so many times. I have very few entries in the "campfire" thread ... it's for the same reason you expressed. I'm pretty literal too.

[Bethers]

This is a great discussion - and shows why we have different rooms and ways to do things - and NONE of them are wrong - it shows that we all can express ourselves differently - and find a comfort level in some rooms more than others - and that's FINE - and how it should be.

Let's celebrate our differences
