HI Gary,
I just wanted to say that during the more than three years you and I have been friends you standout like a shining gem here on the Vine. Your moderate, kind, polite, demeanor has always been an inspiration to for me. Living large is how I see you. Take care, Charlie
Funny, some poster on an article said I should have all the bad comments on my wall instead of just selectign the good ones. Weird ting is I've never received a bad comment here. Some people seem to be just a little crazy behind their keyboard-I hope they stay there....
Gary- thanks for all of your support...and our FB connection, my dear NY friend!
(((((♥Gary♥)))))
Pssst....check out my Punk Rockin' the Wars of the Roses & see if you can bang your head to Tenpole Tudor :-)
Gary you are one of my oldest (!) and dearest Vine friends. May 2011 be filled with joy for you, your wife, kids and dogs. Happy New Year!
Ann
I have been away for a while and now have decided to give the Vine another look. From your posts you seem to me to be the type of individual that draws me back to the Vine. I will in the near future be reading your posts and perhaps leave a comment or two.
By the way my new profile photo is not of me today. Just thought it would be interesting to have others see this ol/ guy at a younger time with many of the same emotions and thought.
Just thought I'd stop and say hello and ask how you're doing? Hope all is well. :)

Thanks for taking the time to help as an admin on American GIs and their Families. Really proud to have you as a friend. Like your posts and looking forward to a good many more. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations on winning the 2009 Venny Award for Best News Contribution on your Article Dated 21 Dec 2009 Titled "Homeless Find Hope At Closed California Bases."
Thank you for the invite, Spike. It's Oct 22 2009, 2 days of jokes - let's keep it going!
Hi Spike, I received your invitation to join the "good news Wednesday" I am honored. But I have to let you know that I am no writer, but I do enjoy reading the articles. I do comment on those where I feel a need to express my opinion. What is the criteria for joining the group and can I still join if I'm not a writer?
Hi Spike. I received your invitation for friendship and I gladly accept. I can appreciate and respect a person who can exchange thoughts, ideas, even differences but can still treat others folks opposing opinions with respect. You're a class act. Thank you for the invitation. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Well, Gary, I don't put too much importance on where friends stand on the issues or what aisle they like to stand in.....what matters is everything else. So thank you for including me :-)
Btw, I answered the pic question.....if you read them.....u can see it :-)

Oh, my wonderful friend.
You are the type of individual with whom I can have a conversation, go a few weeks without seeing you, and when we meet again, we carry on that same conservation without missing a beat.
Never think for a moment that I do not know you are there watching over me like a guardian angel. You are a wonderful man, indeed.
Susan

Hey Gary,
As one of the many woman who want you as their "play thing", I also have to say that you are one of the best all around nice guys here on the vine. BTW...Matt doesn't know about us, so you better stay behind that curtain.

Spik: You troublesome little thing... What does your wife say, eh? *she probably just puts up with ya... *hehehe!*
And dkaz is right--I think you like the cold a little too much. I would much rather be in the surf--although I do live surrounded by the white stuff six months out of a year. How is that fair?

I have looked and looked and looked and finally found a real, honest-to-goodness Daviess County Barbecue Mutton recipe, including the sauce, which is used on pork, beef, and chicken, too. Owensboro, my hometown, is the home of the International Bluegrass Museum and Interna …
