Actually Tomi.. that is You and Karen , Placido and Me lol. Placido is the tall green one lol. The more masculin looking one I say lol. You Do know that Mr Flamingo loves you with all his heart. I mean.. who else would show his feathers if it werent for such a special lady?!?!?! Look at them goo goo eyes when he looks at you.. you just cant deny that!!! And he's even givng you a KISS!!! Beak and Beak.. wow how special!!!

G actually lived in Cali for awhile. And sadly .. he didnt like it. Sawry. I dont know that you could get him to come there. BUT .. he loves the south!! Especially the southeastern states.. but not in the heat of the summer. So maybe a spring trip to the east coast ?? He was a wonderful host.. couldnt have asked for anyone better. Very respectful, fun, an all out and out gentleman.. with a southern drawl.. ... and handsome too I think!! THE ONLY TWO BAD THINGS about him were that he smoked... you know how I feel about that.. lol.. but he went outside to smoke!! Thats what I mean about being respectful!! and I dont know if this is bad.. except when its done in illegal spots.. lol... He liked to back his car up if I didnt get a good picture of something.. I'm like GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ dont do that!! He's like well my cars paid for .. no problem lol. Too funny. He's all about living and enjoying life the best he can. If I could get my husband to do that... well I could go on and on with If I coulds....

Tomi... this was such a good thing for me to do. It freed me up of some fears I've long held onto. And I am glad I got over them. I was fortunate enough that my best friend is a business administrative secretary. So she books flights quite often for her bosses. She watched for cheaper flights. I got mine for $143 !!! I had a connecting flight both ways.. but its ok. It was worth that price for me! I told my T to hold me to this plan too. He wasnt allowed to let me chicken out. Even though he had a fear ( like a couple of my friends did) of me meeting G by myself. I tried and tried to reassure them that had I one inkling of G being " off " as in a murderer or anything like that.. I would have stopped talking to him a long time ago. I'd been talking to him for over a year and a half... so I think I knew him somewhat well. I felt safe talking to him for sure!! I had a plan too with a phone number for a hotel and taxi company had anything seemed weird. But my gut instincts told me all was ok. Just stuff you know in your heart. But Tomi .. you can do this for yourself!!! I know its intimidating.. but you need this to recharge and connect with yourself. I told a few people that had I not done this.. I would have ended up in the hospital again. I was that close to having another breakdown!!! The stress of my real life.. and some things going on here.. with people " watching me " was upsetting . Now I know I have control of this stuff here at least. And I am working on a plan for my real life now!! Its a great feeling!! You or anyone else here can do this too. YOU JUST HAVE TO REMMBER TO PUT YOURSELF FIRST ONCE IN AWHILE!!!
