but at the same time, I'd LOVE to have you come here.

You do what's best for you. We can always meet in Toledo or somewhere else in-between.

45. that's a shame ..
I can understand though. Definitatly need time with progspawn and work IS work after all.
I'm really not sure what I'm doing at all. It won't be Ohio :( Maybe Michigan .. maybe not. I'll have to play it by ear.

56. Yes, they used to
until a couple of years ago :( I didn't live too far from there, just about a mile away. Elmira is a great place to live and to visit especially in March/April for their Maple Syrup Festival!

54. I was hatched from an egg
many years ago, and I still like eggs.

I really like bacon and cheese, but eggs are okay.

After I was born, I did amazing things that astounded my family. I learned how to think, and express myself! Woefully, at times, this was seen to be a handicap.

I ended up losing my family when mom put me out in the street with only shoes and a clown suit. I was, needless to say, heartbroken for a few minutes.

I grew up, went to school, and learned what it meant to socialize. Alas. I was not very good at it, but I kept trying.

In third grade I was paddled and then expelled for giving all the other kids pepto bismol.

I learned my lesson, and .....uh......I forget where I was.........
