as a matter of fact....

i think we posted at the same time so i didn't see that you said you did

I have not been on here but a few days. I was feeling really blue about a bad relationship, so many people came to cheer me up. I will always be greatful to each and everyone of them.

I have made some great friendships and many more to come, I'm sure.

It is like a family here you can't wait to hear from again and again. Kindness of taking in a stranger means so much to me. My family lives far away and we don't talk very often, maybe twice a year. So I need all the friends I can get and I'm finding them here at JSH.

Thank you everyone for your support and kindness, it is very appericated. If you ever need a good friend look me up.



Plus I can be just as crazy as the rest of yal..

<--------puts on tinfoil hat and tapes up the key board.....nobody can steal my thoughts and change me now ......

Seriously, yes this site has helped me through some tough sh it.........people are great and I also have seen them come and go, seen some morph into totally nice people after they let thier guard down, and a few that turned into Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde.........Still, you gotta love it here.

JSH has

accepted me and welcomed me
strangers became friends
friends became family
JSH family is there at all times.
They give me strength, laughter, and love
They smile and celebrate the good times
Weep with me and soothe me doing the bad times
Strangers who became friends
friends who became family
I have learned about different ways to celebrate
different events, and holidays.
No matter what I do know this
my friends have my back
and I have theirs.
I just hope that I have returned
the laughter, love, and caring
that has been showered on me.
Thank you JSH for allowing me
to find a new family.

So many great comments love it. One thing about it there are all types of people on this site from straight lace to the class clowns. Which I must say those class clowns do make my day with the laughter they bring on. But then those that are well endowed with knowledge I have learned so much from. Then we have what I call the earthy ones or the real ones that are just them day in and day out they speak there minds regardless no shows do they have to put on for any one. The ones you can count on to be honest with there opinions. That if you need a shoulder to lean on they will gladly loan it to you as long as you need it. We have ones here that have talent beyond what they let on. They are from coast to coast including Canada and the Uk. But..... they make you feel as if you lived right next door them and your best friend.


I must say the people on JSH are a group that are very rare to come by and may 2008 be all that each of you dream of.

Taking into account that I've only been here since around April of this year, I'm a relative newbie here.

JSH has changed my life imeasurably. I've made so many friends here. Some who have vanished without trace I miss them. And some who are still here and continue to keep my spirits lifted when times have been not so good. Also the fact that living across the Atlantic, the time diffence is also a deciding factor.
I am now living on US Western time.
I have seen so many changes in the short time I have been here but I wouldn't complain, because most of them have been for the good of the site and its members.
I look forward to making even more friends in 2008 because when I am down and have no one close at hand, there is always the wonderful community of people right here who are to me closer than my next door neighbour.

For those who only look and don't post, I would strongly urge them to do so, as they won't make contact or be able to interact with others as well as you do here in the forums.

I wish everyone across the Atlantic and anywhere else for that matter a Happy and prsperous 2008 and may the meet the partner of their dreams.
Keep up the good work.

This site has allowed me to see things in myself that I wanted to see. As the special people I have come to call friends on here have seen this within me and helped make me aware of it. Other than that, as far as finding someone.... Piss on that. I really don't think I would find anything on this site. I have a strong feeling this is going to happen in college. We will see. I go back in Spring.

Where ELSE on the face of the EARTH could I "EVER",

Find a lady to ask to be my WIFE.

Say HI in a email to a stranger(lady) in New Mexico, and SHE writes back and says SHE FEELS like SHE KNOWS me, through all my postings she had READ! And I was like ALREADY HER FRIEND?

To get to know HEARTS and SOULS, and fellow human beings and
to really FEEL their JOYS, and their PAINS.

To be hurt because of being caught-up in someones playful lies
about them and me.

To make FRIENDS with people in distant states and LANDS.
That I could not have EVER met other than on HERE.

To give ALL of my HEART and TIME and CARE to a LONG TERM FRIEND I met HERE, just to have them TURN THEIR BACK on me w/o ME knowing any why's?

To GROW as a person through ALL OF THESE events and to SEE my self as THEY see me and to TRY to maintain to ALWAYS be a BETTER person WITH,and THROUGH "THEM", and to TRULLY be THEIR FRIENDS. NOT just "ON HERE" but in PERSON!

PEOPLE have TRIED to tell me since I first came on JSH, that "THIS" is the net...
And NO-BODY is real and ITS ALL FUN!
I say THIS PLACE, and ALL OF US.
MAKE THIS PLACE "WHAT IT IS".
I WILL NOT EVER BELIEVE THAT ITS ALL FAKE!

I've met WAY TO MANY HERE, who I have met in person, or talked alot to by phone weekly.
And "THEY" are "REAL" and the SAME people they are on here,,,,"REAL"....

So when ever I die off I hope that EVERYONE remembers me as THE GUY WHO PREACHED,,,,BEING REAL...ON HERE!!!


And Kristi, You were the FIRST LADY HERE that I had the PLEASURE of talking to in a EMAIL, so cool and fun....
I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT, or YOU!
Even though WE have bumped heads here before, we have remained
FRIENDS, and THIS is a good post and im GLAD WE MET and our FRIENDS!!!((((((hugs))))))))

Terry I thank you for those words, yeah and even tho we have bumped heads in the past and at times pretty hard. We still in the end came out and called a truce to that fact also.

This site has showed me alot that I had not paid attention to in the past.

As far will I meet my true love or my soul mate here who knows I'm not looking for them here but would not ignore them if I was to find them either. I come here for the friendships I have gained and the ones to come.

Laughter is the best meds and man can you find plenty of it here just join in and start your own they will follow believe me. There is nothing better then to log on and be laughing till you cry before logging off.

May you all find what your seeking in the New Year!!!!

I can't say that this site has helped me in anyway, but I will say I have been reading the post for many months now, I have seen many many people's heart on here, and seen how they care about other people that come on here, I have seen people leave that has ventured away from this site, but yet can tell by there post that this site and the people have helped them be able to venture in there life, I have read and saw alot of people falling in love, getting married,and also alot of heartbreak from the love they found on here, but yet they had friends on here to talk with and help in there time of pain, I have also seen alot of prayer post, and seen how people's prayers have gone out to families that had ill ones, or for people that have past on! and seen the great lose that the people on here have felt, This is one site, thats like a big huge family, and it's free and the only site that one can truely say regardless if you post, or just read the post you feel your part of a family
April

So very true April have seen all those things happen many times here and have shared in many of those events myself.

have met some nice people i was looking for friends and wasn't ready for much else.

It is always to hear of all the friends that others have meet here that helps them through thick and thin. And all the ones that have found a love and are now together or soon to be together.

There is nothing sweetier then to hear of those that are happy that once was sad.

I like this site, but it depresses me more than it makes me happy. I'm often ignored, laughed at, or belittled. I have my friends on here and I talk to them alot, but every time I try to make more I find out nobody else really cares O_O

((((( Puddin Cup )))))

WoW!!!! Where do i start,,, JSH is my home away from home,,, The friendships I have made here are
so incredible,, the love the support the guidance and most of the Friendship so overwhelming,,,

I have to come too see me in a different light,, I have learned with your love and guidance that life is incredible and no matter what is thrown my way I can survive and yes thier is a light within the dark tunnel

Friendship here is more than just a monitor and keyboard its real,,, it grows every day and yes loss
of our loved ones here has been great ,, yet we all have stuck together to get through.

I have been here a year,, WoW what a year it has been,,, I would not change this past year for anything,,,

Life is a journey,,, a journey in which I do not travel alone,, ((((((( Familia )))))) by my side,,, day in and day out,,, Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh JSH what an incredible family we all have become,,,

Hugs my Puddin Cup,,,,,

has JSH changed? yes--
but only to fit the needs of new people joining
you can still find old friends-
i thought about leaving several times, however
i know people here who know me
they do not judge me, they tell me how it is, the
support me, they give me advice, etc.
i only talk to some every now and then, but even those
have touched me deeply- for example, Lex
he wrote me once about something i wrote in the forum
and i saved his email forever because he was
real, truthful, and inspiring- he lifted me up and made
me feel worthwhile-- and encouragement from people
is what we all need every now and then
i you all
and welcome change

Joyce -- Thank you!

That means a lot to me!

sweetie--
truely, you have to know what a wonderful person you are!!
intelligent, sweet, funny
i love reading your posts, replies
and yes- i still have your email saved to my computer
