Welcome to the April chat. Please keep the foolery good-natured. Nobody likes an impractical practical joker.

Have fun. Here's hoping this month's chat is as entertaining as last month's.

Pretend you're in New York. Or England. Or Australia. It's April somewhere!

And speaking of April showers, I ask that there be no showers of tears for what I'm about to say.
It's still March 31 for about 10 minutes here, so I'll try to say this before it becomes a day when people might think I'm lying.
As the month comes to a close, so does my time here, at least for a while. In a few minutes, it will be April, and I will be entering a mad period of my life as the day of my graduation draws near. Because of this, I expect to have less time to spend online, so I need to avoid large time sinks like amazingly fun forum threads that go on for pages each day. I'll miss you all. It has truly been fun and exciting to spend time posting back and forth with you.
The other reason I'm leaving, at least for a while, is that I didn't intend to stay long on the forums. I hadn't meant to be on for this last month, when I first started. I just wanted to see if I could find some people who live near me, because I'm trying to spend less time on the computer and more time with flesh and blood people. Ironically, I have grown fond of many of you here, and I have spent a good deal of time on the computer talking with you. This has brought some joy into my life.
I thought I would mention this here because you who read the chat thread are those who might wonder where I'd gone, and those who don't read the chat thread wouldn't care.
I've babbled on for long enough. Fare you well. I'll be around a little for a few days, but I'm going to try not to start anything new. Just tidy up the loose ends.
Good night, and God bless you all. Thank you. *salute*

Thanks, Skreyola!!! Time to go lock the other thread........

BTW - we'll definitely miss you around here, but we do understand your need for local folks in your life and with everything with your graduation. Just don't be a total stranger.

Hey Skreyola;

It's been great to have you around. I applaud your desire to find flesh and blood people to fellowship with, and I'll be praying that you are able to find that. Also, congratulations on your graduation!!!

In truth, I may be a little more scarce around here until the semester ends as well...it does get a bit busy, and there's a whole week coming up when I will have no access to a computer

Here is the burning question though....

is it possible to have as much fun in the chat thread this month as we did last month?

Ladies and gentlemen...

Start your engines!
(skreyola)

You know, I really don't know! That was an AWESOME chat thread last month - I think everyone really did have spring fever, and when they were stuck indoors, they took it out on the thread.

The Beatles were mentioned in the last chat thread which brought something to mind:

I've been watching old What's My Line and I've Got a Secret shows on GSN lately, and I saw an episode of I've Got a Secret the other night from 1964 with Pete Best. He wasn't a guest star, just a regular contestant, and the panel had to guess his "secret". The hint (which Garry Moore always gives) was that "it concerns something he was". Bess Myerson finally came up with it, that he used to be one of the Beatles, probably because he looked like a Beatle, which of course he did.

It was so cool! He said he left the group two years previous because he didn't think they were going anywhere.

Goooood morning to you all !!!


Yes the rain arrived here too...good because it keeps washing the polem away.


April arrived in full force and it will be a lovely dear strong, moving and shaking month. My devotinal is exploding with colorful teaching and insights, yep! Oh I even dreamed with my beloved Jew man in tallit... as the Lord knows if I get married and etc I want for me a praying lover of the word, Jewish man, not messianic style and etc but God knows exactly what I have in mind etc as I do have Hebrew roots and etc etc...and oh people... I dreamed I was caresing his beautiful dark beard! Yes, I know I know is just a dream and not even think about Jew or etc and etc but He does work in mysterious ways.



Oh my goodness my Jew is awesome of course, and I will just leave him to God for now and etc...


That is wonderful a new everything: month, day and thread! Lovely and our Lion of Judah is our Lion of Praise as Judah means Praise. Praise the Lord everything that has breath keep praising Him, is love endures forever and ever!


You all have a blessed day!

Well it would be a little odd if John didn't show up.

I am planning on going. Barring a meteorite strike on my car or other unforeseen catastrophe.

I thought you had decided already to come? You'll have to make up for going AWOL on us, you know. (I understand about graduation and the end of the semester though - things always get really busy for me around this time of year, at least during the day.) Best wishes as you approach the finish line!

Any of the gals around with cookies? I'm in a terrible funk this morning and frankly this bagel ain't cutting it.

(And I'm all out of Reese's Eggs too.)

I just baked some virtual Snickerdoodles for everyone (practically the only kind I have time for the last couple years). Here, have one...or two or three.

Sorry you're bummed, but very glad you're coming to the GT. What's got you down?

Mmmmm! Delish.

Not sure. Just sort of woke up under a dark cloud. And things have actually been going pretty well the past week, too. I know I was bummed last night that nobody showed up for bowling, but that's just a minor disappointment. But I do think it just kinda hammered home the aloneness of my situation. (Sunday night, too - there was an ice cream social at church, but aside from some greetings and a little small talk here and there, I was alone.)

This is annoying because I was really feeling good after the Sunday morning service! Wonderful message that really spoke to me. (Really - like a direct response to stuff I'd written in my journal the night before!)
