Sadly, no. Just a lot of not-so-good things going on right now. But, somehow, I'm still alive .

(and) TOO LATE! He he ... a friend of mine sent that to me the other day. Not too shabby at all, I'd say. Heh ... interesting topic. I've seen a few cars in the last week or so that would qualify for this thread. I'll have to see about digging through the online ads again to see if I can find 'em. One that I remember is a mid'70s Impala sedan ... dark green. Looks AWESOME. he he.

LOL! That sounds like my Mom. We always kid her about taking SO long to open her gifts.... I like the gift bags, but I also like to have something for them to open. So, if I can use a gift bag for an item, I do. But, I also wrap the item in colored tissue paper.....

In a time when people are easily offended by various things, prompting "political correctness" and lawsuits and protests, it's kinda funny that cuss words seem to be more and more "accepted" as the norm, rather than the exception, due to radio, TV, etc....

Neither by choice or waiting for the right person (at least not anymore....)....just never had any real opportunity.... A number of my friends can't believe no girl has snatched me up yet, but here I am ... still single. *shrugs* It is frustrating, for sure..... I can imagine. I, too, have watched a lot of pain friends have experienced and that has made me a wee bit cynical (as does the virgin aspect, I suspect). Still ... I also know a LOT of happy couples ... so, who knows..... AMEN! I believe I'm "living proof" of that...at least, in some ways.... In my heart-related groups, whenever someone posts about how you HAVE to have a significant other to get through ANY surgery ... I always reply with, "then please explain why I am alive...........". Sadly, hardly anyone sees it that way, since society dictates being a couple is necessary and the only way to be happy.... *sighs* So true. And, that realization is what helped me out of my sad/bitterness in early 2003. I have my "bad" days, sometimes, but for the most part...I AM happy.....

AMEN! Roads were not pretty this evening on the way home, but I made it home ... in ONE piece ... in my RWD car. Meanwhile, I noticed quite a few FWD and AWD and 4WD cars in ditches and in accidents. Makes NO sense............ *shrugs* And, while I LOVE to drive in snow ... I'm rapidly becoming irritated by cold and snow.

Please advise me ASAP; I'd like to get this arranged so the books can be sent late 2008 or early 2009, well before this event. 2 ... I will start contacting groups / businesses next week for possible SPONSORSHIPS. If you know of a group or business that might be interested in participating in this way (similar to the FGMCC SPONSORSHIP already highlighted), please advise me. 3 ... Relative to SPONSORSHIPS, I have some ideas for TRIVIA CONTESTS to give away gift certificates, etc. More on this, should this develop further. 4 ... Please know that ALL ARE WELCOME ... REGARDLESS of transportation mode AND/OR how long you can join us. If you can only meet up for a morning breakfast, a daily stop, or an evening dinner, that is perfectly OK and ENCOURAGED! 5 ... Anyone willing to help plan in your home state? I'm still looking for some PLANNING ASSISTANTS! 6 ... KUDOS to ChevyTalk.org's Dee Dee for creating this banner: http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/203904/ 7 ... Please keep in mind that the schedule is a PROPOSED timeline.

For instance ... we will have an extra hour to drive from Amarillo TX to the Route 66 Auto Museum in Santa Rosa NM ... because of the time zone change. Likewise, we will have an extra hour to drive from Gallup NM to the Petrified Forest/Painted Desert in AZ ... because of the time zone change. 8 ... I know the information is LONG and DETAILED.

It doesn't..... Sorry you still feel stressed. I can't say I know 100% how you feel, but I'm not exactly smelling roses right now either. My issues are different than yours, but I still feel the pain..... Lucky for you that you don't have to know. It really sucks ... because everyone asks when you're going to find someone ... and, if you don't have anyone, they ask if you're gay. Ugh. NO ... I am NOT gay. Just because I don't have a gf and have never had sex does NOT mean I'm gay. Heh ... and it's going to be fun on Christmas. I will be the only single person in the family. Everyone else will have their significant other, fiance, or spouse with them. Wonderful. *sighs* On the other hand ... I have my freedom and I can do whatever road trips and schedule whatever events I want .
