Whoami | Monday, October 20, 2003 - 10:03 pm     Mom just said she misses you all already. So do I.  |
Moderator | Monday, October 20, 2003 - 10:16 pm     Before anyone panics about the missing pictures, there really is NOT a picture fairy (at least that we know of). We've relocated them temporarily while we get a seperate thread setup especially for them. They will return shortly. Thanks for understanding. Mod (22) |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, October 21, 2003 - 12:31 am     You know, some things stay the same no matter what the situation. I've met TVCH people in all sorts of manner--one at a time, a couple for just lunch, a bunch for a week at a time, while I'm on travel, and now a planned gathering at a hotel. What hasn't changed is the feelings I walk away with each time, and not matter who the person or people have been. What a wonderful group of people we have at TVCH! All of them very nice, all of them caring people, and all of them so full of life. It doesn't matter the jobs they have (or don't have), the way they approach how they live, or their beliefs--I am a better person for having met each and every TVCH person (and their friends and family) I've been fortunate enough to see face to face. It's hard to convey in words what I've felt during and after these meetings I've had. Call it lack of ability to communicate that well, call it not being able to put it words that others can relate to about how I've felt. I hope it can best be seen in watching the friends and family of the TVCH people when they join in a meeting--it seems like they walk away thinking "now I understand about TVCH and the people". And it isn't because there is some plan to make sure they are included--it just happens that way. Everyone--TVCH members, their friends, their family, are in fact, all part of this family. There were 3 people at Long Beach I've met before. ZMom: Someone very in touch with her family--her son is her world, and the love she has for him has no limits. She cares about people, and would do anything for anyone who needed any type of help. Glenn: Every time I talk to Glenn I learn something new. Usually about people--he has a calm about him, even when he's excited--he is very in tune with the world and those around him. If you ever get a chance to talk to him, be sure to take it. Spy: If you never saw her, but interacted with her for any length of time, you would believe she was older than in her 20's because of her wisdom, her understanding of people, her kindness, her intelligence, and never give up approach. Yet in her short number of years, she has become, well, something beyond her years. She is someone who could become anything she wanted. These folks I met for the first time. Weinermr: If you've read this and other threads, you see post after post about what a caring, giving, nice, and special person Weiner is to everyone. Well, I can say first hand every single person is dead on! Wargod: War will tell you she is shy--if it's true, she odes a great job of hiding it! She is warm, caring, and has a great sense of humor! She is very friendly, and I think the concept of stranger is not a part of her. Egbok: What a dynamic person! She doesn't have to say anything at all to stand out. Just one of those people who shines no matter what is going on. Very down to earth, yet very classical at the same time. She is so comfortable to talk to! Moondance: What energy! What passion about everything in her life! Moon is someone who lives life full speed ahead and doesn't wait for others--she brings them along with her. She has glowing charisma, and a heart as big as they come. Pamy: Pamy and Moon have a lot of traits in common. Such energy, and such a love of life. A ton of charisma, and a heart that is huge. Under the big laugh is someone who is very tender. Whoami: What a caring person!! If you get the chance to see her with her mom, you can immediately tell how much see cares about her mom. There is a very special bond there--its' amazing to see. Who has a great sense of humor, and a great laugh! Seamonkey: Sea is a wonderful person. She is bright, funny, caring, and easy to talk to. It feels like she sees everyone as a potential friend, and I think anyone meeting her would feel the same way. Lanzee: What a dynamic person! She has a smile that brings life to the entire room! She too is very intense and passionate about most everything. She loves people, and like Sea, Pamy, Moon and so many others, I think she sees a potential friend in just about everyone. Tntitanfan: Don't ever tell Titan that she couldn't do something--she would prove you wrong for sure. A soothing voice, a love of god beer (hey, I give lots of points to those who love god beer--lol) and she can relate to anyone. What a kind soul she is. And what a bundle of energy! Kittee3: Kittee felt very down to earth to me--one of those people who doesn't do things flashy, yet you will always notice her. Lots of charisma, a wonderful smile, and a caring soul. She is kind, with a great sense of humor! You know, after writing all of this about each person, I haven't done them justice--I haven't included all of what makes them special. Nor have I included how fantastic each friend and family member was as well. Heck, I'm pretty sure I've fallen short on communicating just how special of and every person was this weekend--from War's kids and dh, Pamy's dh and ds, Who's mom, Spy's friend, Moon's friend, Kittee's dh, and Weiner's wife. I thank all of you for a wonderful weekend. If anyone has the chance to meet someone from TVCH, I hope you take it if at all possible--I am very sure you will be glad you did. |
Admin | Tuesday, October 21, 2003 - 08:15 am     I've enjoyed reading about your adventures guys! Thanks for sharing. I'm sorry I haven't been able to attend this GT, or any others for that matter, but hopefully one day I will be in a better position to be able to attend. Seeing you guys meeting and developing the relationships you have warms my heart and makes me proud to know I've been involved in a little way. Throughout my own personal life I've been faced with many rough roads and seen friends come and go. Some I sent off myself, but others left. When it's all over, if you can say you had a handful of real friends, you're lucky. They're a special gift to treasure and treat as gold. I can't help but think that many of you have made at least one lasting relationship as a result of TVCH. I never imagined these types of things would happen when I sat at my computer 3 years ago and created the first website that evolved into what we have now. I was just thinking of being creative, learning and having some fun. It's a great gift you've given me, thank you. |

Egbok | Tuesday, October 21, 2003 - 06:54 pm     You're certainly not speaking of the most innocent one on this board?...okay, okay, I'm right behind Lori! |
