Elif Godson,
*HUGS*
Thank you!
In no way, shape, or form did you detract from what I was doing here...for one, if it feels better to say it, let it out! And for 2, if more people read this kind of testimony from more people, they are likely to believe it. My dad has been gone for 2 years and there will be times for the rest of my life when I'll cry because I so needed that hug!

He wasn't the best dad in the world, my mom made it hard for him to be in his own house so there were years after I was 6 that we only saw him when he came to take us on vacation, camping, or to Bluegrass Festivals, or just on weekends, or in the worst couple of years, just as he pulled out of the driveway after opening the door and throwing in a wad of money so that mom could take care of us...during all those years his shop was in Cincinnati so he never lost out on his business at least. Had he been the best dad in the world he would have kicked her sorry ass to the curb long before she ever took us and left him in peace lol. But when he was there, and after she left him, I could not have asked for a better (or funner) friend than he was too me. We didn't live too far away so I could walk the 8 mile round trip when I had her permission and thankfully, she threw me out when I was 15 and I got to spend my latter teenage years living with him. He was a good man and I know he loved me...that means everything in the world to me.

It is so nice to see you again! Thank You So Much and Thank You for stopping in today! I am glad we didn't miss the opportunity to tell each other hello!
I was listening to some Blues a little bit ago and I think my dad would like Blues more than Bluegrass...I know he picked the blues more often than he played Bluegrass (mostly becuase he'd play guitar anytime and when he was without accompanyment, he'd pick the blues. ) So far, I can't really find any bluegrass that isn't so "upbeat" and there are plenty of Blues tunes that aren't upbeat but that won't bring you down either...I'll have to see, esp since I just got an e-mail from a guy that hooked me up with links to Blues and Bluegrass that will give me a wide range of choice. I really do want to get some sound hooked up on the site so that I can pull down that last paragraph...it just looks like an advertisement.

johnny,
*HUGS*
Thank you too! LOL I keep telling Horatio that I am not evil but he just won't believe me...there is so little bully left that I've turned into one of those people that are so nice you just hate them LOL...even I make me sick somedays!

btw, Horatio...I wasn't really going to cry earlier because you called me a liar when I said I'm not from Hell! I hope I didn't scare you away and please accept these better late than never (?) smilies; [img]tongue.gif[/img]

To All Of You,
Thank You All Very Much! (See, there's that ooze of sugar again...ick!)
