As we prepare to drive to Washington DC from the depths of the South (Columbus GA), for our wedding, next Saturday. I am moved to express my gratitude. It is here that I met my best friend, My playmate, a music mate, my life partner my lover and (I never used to think I'd be able to say this) my soul mate. To anyone who doesn't think think this is a community and a special place, I offer my experience and example. Thank you to you all and may you all be as blessed as me. |

06 Oct 02 - 04:32 PM (#797807) Subject: RE: Thank you Mudcat, for CarolC From: Jeri Honeymoon at the Getaway? We've decided you can't have her. Please give her back now. Seriously, I wish y'all the best of everything. I've met soulmates here, but it's the British meaning of 'mate'. My life has changed radically (for the better) because of them. Mudcat brings together people with a common interest in folk music who would otherwise never get to know one another. There's a bigger pool of potential participants in one's life. ...and don't forget the photos! |

08 Oct 02 - 02:38 AM (#798704) Subject: ADD: One Time Only (Tom Paxton) From: CarolC Thanks everybody. I, too, find myself thanking the Mudcat, for more reasons than I can enumerate here. But especially for this amazing man I'm going to be marrying in a few days. I think everyone deserves to have someone as good, as funny, as intelligent, and as loving and kind as Rob in their life. But they can't have this one... he's mine ;-) We both feel that this song pretty much says it all for us... ONE TIME ONLY (Tom Paxton) I spent my hungry young years running wild There was a lot I had to do And I spent cities like a handful of change But I never quit looking for you CHORUS -- One time and one time only Been such a long time lonely One time and all time it will be Been waiting such a long time Each time has been the wrong time Until you came to me I looked for you in every face I saw I could not find you any where Then finally one day I quit trying at all Looked up and saw you standing there (Chorus) I don't mind telling you what's on my mind It's no big secret any more I have no plans at all for moving on That's one thing I never been for Copyright Tom Paxton |

In exchange for a few dodgy accordion hints, this dear sweet woman let me into her life, and I will always appreciate that. From the best intentions, probably rooted in envy for "gettin' the goyl", I congratulate JtS for winning our Carol's heart. Treasure her, as I'm sure you do and will, as we have and do. |

11 Oct 02 - 02:09 PM (#801251) Subject: RE: BS: Thank you Mudcat, for CarolC From: SharonA On a more sober note, I'm concerned about people traveling to the wedding of Jack the Sailor and CarolC, given the current situation with the sniper in the DC area. If anyone who's reading this is planning to attend the wedding, and the sniper hasn't been caught yet, for Pete's sake don't stop at a gas station in MD, DC or VA (at least, not one near a major highway – that seems to be the sniper's preferred location). Be careful, everyone!!!!! Sharon |
