Friends without faces
We sit and we type, and we stare at our screen
We all have to wonder what that possible means.
With our mouse we roam, through the rooms in a maze
Looking for something or someone, as we sit in a daze.


We chat with each other, we type all our woes
Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes. We wait for somebody to type out our name
We want recognition, but its always the same.


We give hugs and kisses and sometimes flirt
In IMs we chat deeply and reveal why we hurt.
We do form friendships-but-why we don't know
And some of these friendships will flourish and grow.


Why is it on screen we can be so bold
Telling our secrets, that  have never been told.
Why is we share the thoughts in our mind
With those we can't see, as though we were blind.


The answer is simple, it's as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems and need someone to tell.
We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must
So we turn to the "puter" and to those we can trust.


Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains
They are friends without faces, and odd little names.
This is a page of my online friends.  We meet many people when we surf the net and
they all become friends but every once in a while you meet someone that you really
connect to, someone that you can’t forget or someone that you know  will be friends
forever. 

  This is what this page is for. Just to say thank you for being there or thank you for
being my friend. Some are people that I don’t hear  much from anymore but we
both know that if we need someone we are there for each other.

LAURA L from upstate NY and VIRGINIA C are two of the first people I met when
I came online.  I was so lucky to have met two such beautiful people as everything
was so new to me and I could have had a bad experience but they made it nice.
Thank you both.

MARIE B, CUB, and MAMA Lace..three more people that are great.  They are all
interested in genealogy as I am.
      Marie, I swear she has a camera for a memory if you need any gen links she is
the person to know I really enjoy chatting with Marie and she  is such a very nice
girl and has a  sweet daughter too.
      Cub...I remember calling Cub when I had messed up one of my web pages and
had no idea how to fix it.  He right away offered to help and had it fixed in no time.
A good guy for sure
     Mama Lace.. What a beautiful lady Mama is and I tell you she is exactly that a
mama to so many people. Love ya hon.

RICHENDA... My friend from England..We seemed to hit it off right away.  I met her just before 9/11 and she always had kind words to say when she knew I was feeling
down. She also has some very “good” jokes. Richenda has a beautiful daughter and  mom also...whoops a beautiful mum.

JUDEE...My lovely Florida friend..Judee is one person you want to know if you
need a prayer , she is in good standing with the man upstairs, but don’t let that fool
you she can also tell a good story.  I was very lucky to get a hug from Judee on our
last trip tp Florida she gives excellent hugs and she is just like I thought she would
be.  Love ya hon.

DORIS..My Texas friend.  We met by accident and found we have a lot in common.
She has helped me so much and there are a few things about the computer that we
have learned together. I hope we will be friends for a long time.

NORMA...What can I say about Norma. She has been my friend for a long time and she tries to keep me in order. It is kind of hard sometimes but she manages. Norma has been a big help to me also.

LINDA... What a sweet lady and I was very lucky to meet her in person. I love it when I get to meet my online friends in person. Linda and I spent about 2 hours over a cup of coffee. I am looking forward to meeting her hubby next time he sounds like a winner. Love ya Linda

MISTY... Another great friend.  I haven't talked to her lately but I still concider her my friend.  We will get to meet soon because we both have daughters in Virginia and we hope to connect there.  Hi Misty
