Hi Nitedreamz -
I'm not in SD anymore, but was stationed there four years on a sub at the Pt. Loma base. Used to live up on the hill overlooking the Sports Arena area back then. I've been in Kitsap County, WA for the past twenty years, but find myself in SD a couple of times a year for work, either at North Island or Pt. Loma. Are you a SD native?

Hi all, Just heard from my little sailor girl who is enjoying the warm breezes of southern FL now and has been to the beaches, a museum and the Hard Rock (Casino) which is always one of my fav when I get to travel anyway.

So far she seems to be enjoying herself during Fleet Week and I'm still wondering how she gets paid and to have fun too!! . Though she did mention that some of the shops seemed a little empty. Apparently tourism is down. Not sure but I'm still considering enlisting if they'll take me. While I realize that not every assignment is this much fun but I'm glad that her and her shipmates and the Navy are being celebrated by the kind FL residents.

One last note, she was happy to run into one of her Coast Guard brothers that she graduated with from NAPS (Naval Academy Prep School) with in 2004.

Everyone have a great day!!

Beautiful, beautiful post Kelly - thank you for putting it out there so bravely. This may seem a little out of left field, but as I was reading it, I was watching American Idol on DVR, with Allison's performance of one of my favorite songs, "Someone To Watch Over Me." Your post illustrated what, for me, was missing in Allison's performance. That song needs the singer to project a sense of vulnerability that was completely missing from her performance, but that flowed through Kelly's post. It was just the sort of treasure that would have been lost, had it been lost amid 30 pages of chat. Boy, now that I've written that - I've just seen Matt's performance of "My Funny Valentine." He nailed it. In spite of the clueless comments of Kara and Randy - I'm hearing Simon's comments and cheering inside, now. OK - back to the non-Idol world - thanks again Kelly, for a beautiful (Matt-like) post.

Thanks for listening - to clarify I wasn't offended at all, just frustrated with the fact that it became next to impossible to keep up in the group (and I turned off e-mails for all groups months ago). And also, as a single's group, there's absolutely nothing offensive or inappropriate about a little flirting either :). So - peace and best wishes to all! Wendy, the lower left pane that opens in Chat is to type your message in, and it will then appear in the pane above it. To start a private chat, you can scroll through the list in the right pane, which includes everyone currently on line in the site, click on then name, and I believe they will then get a notice that you are inviting them into a private chat room. I'm not a moderator, or any kind of authority, but I also don't think there would be anything inappropriate about posting a note in the group saying a chat was underway, or suggesting a chat for a future time either.

Ok first ....sorry I have not responded sooner, but I have been in school all day. I must say when I started this group I had no Particular reason, but to give single parents a place to come and laugh, cry, celebrate, vent.....Etc. Being a single parent for 15 yrs I know that the dynamics can be very different . and different people need differnet things.
This group was not to offend anyone and was to be open to everyone.Although I know that wanting to please everyone will always be impossible. I agree the chat was out of control for this group............and yes my peeps I was / Am right there with you. I have added a chat application to my home page and we can check out the main one too. I had been looking into setting up a cafe' style chat and will continue to do that. You are right we have made friends, and what a blessing it is. I guess when friends get carried away laughing and having fun , it could sound chatty
And Kelly you are right I guess I didn't notice the emails because I turned that feature off.
I don't think that anyone in this group is not thankful for it, and because no one did anything on purpose, there is no reason to apologize.
I hope that this group continues to be a great place to come and know you can be you .
So happy hour will be open on a chat for the first one there .............huggs

Now welcome any new that I have not had the chance to meet. Please share with us who what where and when .......what ever you are comfortable with , we are happy to have you .
And Aurea you mean that your daughter is out to sea and the ship doesn't have the needed supplies???
My son is on a sub and I'm sure their needs are quite less...........lol
huggs all my peeps
here is to all of us and them
Against the force of laughter nothing can stand.

Seriously guys - you should check out the Chat feature, a link for which is on the bottom of the page. You can even invite specific people (from the list of all those on line) into a private chat room. It is way more appropriate than generating 30+ pages in a brief period for others to wade through. Using the group page as a chat page like this basically excludes people who might want to keep up in the group, but aren't necessarily inclined to participate in whatever is being chatted about, because sifting through 30 or so pages to find a post that may relate to something you are following is not something many people are inclined to do. OK - I'll get off of my soapbox now...
