I sort of feel like my brithday was overlooked today. I got a cake and icecream, but no presents to open. My Mom called to wish me a happy birthday, but didn't really have much else to chat about. I didn't even get one of those odd off the wall Happy Birthday Larry e-mails sent to me. The majority of my day was spent fretting over an MRI on my sholder. Not an experience I ever want to repete.My highlight was the greeting in chat from Juicy.Hope the youtube vid works. My first time trying.I have a mind to just not count this one. Can I do that?

Don't start unless you can stop.

Have you ever been?

Too tired to sleep.
Hungry but don't want to eat.
Lonely in a crowded room.
Happy on a day full of gloom.

Rushed when you have nothing but time.
Rich though you don't have a dime.
Speechless but have lots to say.
In the dark in the middle of the day.

Bored when surrounded by excitement.
Not interested when offered enticement.
Sad within a room full of laughter.
Regretful before the morning after.

Cold on a sunny day.
In the middle of a game you don't want to play.
Ready though your not prepared.
Calm even though you are feelin scared.

These contradictions in life aren't easy to recognise.
Sometimes they come as a big surprise.
Your thoughts from when you read my lines,
Should tell you how you'd handle these times.

These thoughts let you know you are still alive.
They stir up the feelings held deep inside.
So before you plan on that long dirt nap,
Look life in the face and give it a slap!

I log onto chat
Then say Hi to the room
I'm ready to chat
Just with whom

Juicy always greets me
with a Hug and a Kiss
Running accross the room
she's not someone you can miss

Rattacatcat is quick
to type Hi Lar
She puts little Xs
to show that she cares

~Blue Dolphin~ is nice
we chat for awhile
She chats about anything
ends it with a (smile)

I remember the days
Rachel, Carera, ZMAN and Hotmomto3
The King would tell jokes
we all had to pee

Today when I chat
I great everyone I can
If they type hi back
everyone can check if they are woman or man

I try not to judge
not my decision to make
I want everyone to chat
whether Real or a Fake

So if you see me in chat
and you have read this lame rhym
Chat with me awhile
if you have the time

I've been spending more time here lately, for better or worse. Chatted with a few more people and am marvelled every day with the changes going on on the website. Freinds lists and chat pop ups, NN Matchmaker, and other stuff I haven't even discovered yet. The majority of chat is in the Passion Pit now and its really difficult to keep up with all the chats (must make it difficult to follow along in PRV), considering the Pit was the place to go for dirty chat after you hooked up in the main room.
So to Old Friends and to New Friends, to future and past I'm saying Thank You NN for creating and maintaining this place.

OK, time to BLOG again.... Summer, been a big one for me so far. Got a new roof put on the house, deck added to the garge, and bought a new CAR... (don't tell Juicy, she's been wanting one ya know). Still a lot of yard work to do. Man I hate spending time off work doing work. Have a wonderful summer. Make sure to take some time for yourself, and ofcourse your camera.

Wow... thought I blogged a couple of times since 12-21-06. Man of few words I guess. It was a good year as far as years go, however I still worked too much, yelled too much, and spent too much. I GUESS I'LL TRY TO WORK ON THAT...lol. Hope everyone else's year went well. Have a WONDERFUL Holiday Season, and enjoy as much of it as possible to the fullest extent possible. I am challenging everyone who reads this blog to tell someone they love them before New Years Day, and tell them why. It will be a great end to a great year! Then PM me to tell me how it went. A warning to you married guys, if you don't do this often, your wife may become suspicious...lol. It's gonna be a cold winter, atleast up here where there is such a thing as a cold winter, so bundle up when your out, and snuggle up when your in. Merry Christmas and Happy NNew Years to all.

Christmas again!!! Working again on Christmas...4th year in a row... however the wife goes to see her relatives and leaves me here to PERV... well work anyway so it's not all bad. Just a little note for Santa...

Eternally Greatful for all you do and have done.

Another birthday came and went, September 6th, and I can't help but wonder when is OLD? If your as old as you feel, then I am way over the hill, but If your only as old as you think you are then I am still 20 and dead sexy!!! Actually I'm 41 and I'm finding that to be a comfortable age. Think back to when you were a kid, and your parents turned 30, 40, or even 50, did you think they were old? I did! Perspective is the answer to a lot of lifes questions. Am I a perv?... well to the average NN goer... NO, but to a fridged church lady.... yup! Do I make a lot of money?.... to a teenager... YUP, but to a CEO.....NO! I think we all should try to answer lifes questions with perspective. Does the USA belong in the WAR in IRAQ?... to a Mother that just lost her Son or Daughter there... NO!!! but to an 8 year old boy in IRAQ that just lost his DAD to Al-queada -1 sp .... Most definately. So knowing all this I try to not make one sided decisions, and you can believe that drives my wife crazy. There is always one side I am always on.... and thats the side of a friend whether I think they are right or wrong, cause as I pointed out they have a different perspective!!! Trust is always given first.... then you verify! SO on that note, you will always see me siding with my NN friends on all arguments. ESPECIALLY JUICY!!! So when you need someone to back you up? CALL ME....well IM me...lol.

The plant is back in outage again and I am working nights, gotta hate nights, but it's nice having the bed all to myself. The alternative is a never ending series of getting up at 4:30 am to get to work early and pray for a parking spot.... so much stress to start a day. I'm always cranky on nights so the wife and Kids are always on the edge. It's contageous you know.

Have to mention a few people... Beachdreams... love your blogs, glad to see you putting your life together again.... Juicy,... I'm proud of you... taking back control of your life. Cowgirl... love the blogs, anxiously awaiting the pics of you and the GF. Strawberry... realize your one of us and stay here... we miss you when your away. Lastly Hotmomto3... Miss ya lots....HUGS!

Have a great winter, JUICY stay warm!!!, and I'll blog again after new years.

Summer is on it's way... atleast on this side of the world... Everyone remember to rub in the suntan lotion and limit your exposure... giving some time for the pics and vids ofcourse. Enjoy your trips to the beach and the weekends camping. Please take some time to relax and let the stress out, with someone you love or someone you just met. If you haven't told someone lately that you love them, please take the time to let them know. Have a beautiful Summer and realize that it will probably be fall again befor I blog again...lol. Love to everyone who needs it... and more to those that think they don't! Your Uncle Lar.
