More about me

i've just retired f rom drivng a bus in southeast  fla .. for teh past 12 and one half yrs . 

i lov e tenn .. just starting to go out and discover the western part . .where i live .

 

i've got a daughter and 3 grandkids in ny .. havent' seen the 3rd one yet . he was born april fools day . .

 

think i  pretty much c overed 'me'  in the first post ..

  hope to get to kno w all of you . tho i  st ill think a LOT of people in the groups are very clicky .. and   even tho they're polite .. they'll never really LET you IN ..

but then t hat's my opinion .. seems that 's how it is on all websites  where t he same people post over and ove.r . and when a newcomer barges in .(and NO, i don't ever 'Barge' )

 they'll 'welcome you' .. but eveyrtime you post , you never get any feedback . .  

not from ALL of them btw. .  man y have written and become my friend ..

 

but that feeling of arkwardness is still always there  .. .
