and maybe we could try setting up a tym wer we arrange for every1 to come online agen to break that record, wat u think?
bess xx ;)

[DEADPOOL]

lol, betty boops birthday or maybe even, the launch of the site, dun dun dah!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Deadpool.. you are just tooo funny on this forum!

[bexi3]

That is such a good idea!! We should set that up. Its the same with me, there only seem to be two people on when Im on. It'd be great if we could all go on at the same time! Spread the word!

[DEADPOOL]

Yeah great idea, we could have a large gathering of Boop fans online. Maybe we can beat the 37 users online at once record!!

[10eke]

Tell me the day, and the time, I'll be there!

10eke

[DEADPOOL]

What day do you think is best everyone,i personally think a sunday cause everyone is usually home. Any feedback?

[bexi3]

NOOOOOOO! I only have access to the internet when I'm at work which is between 8.30am and 5.30pm, but what with time differences and all that, it would be very difficult to get everyone here at the same time. Not that Im giving up of course!!!!

Love Becky
xxxxxxxxx

[DEADPOOL]

Never ever give up, we can do this!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hey great idea to have as many people as possible on the forum at one time.. but Sunday is not a good day for me... it's my family day.. and we usually ride our motorcycles in the afternoon.

So come up with another day... let everyone know!!!

[10eke]

can't we make some kind of poll out of this, and then see what day the most people are availeble?
Tineke

[bexi3]

Thats not a bad idea 10eke. Well thats all up to the powers that be! Mchan? Only problem is that it wouldn't solve the time zone issue! Ho hum!

[10eke]

didn't think about that:o

[DEADPOOL]

Well i'd fully support a Poll if it were to happen.

Maybe we could do a poll for days and then one for times, and maybe work it all out and figure out a day. easy...

[10eke]

Hey, how come there are no posts here anymore? I thought we were gonna do this! Or is everybody thinking about a poll? :P

[bexi3]

I think people still really love the idea, but don't know how its going to be possible. I just hope there's not a sudden surge of enthusiasm for the idea while I'm away cos I wanna be part of it if and when it happens!!
Im not one to miss out on anything!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

We need an event organizer... you know a head cheerleader to say the date and time that this is going to happen!

[Boopfan713]

Hi there;
I am looking at the list of threads. People have replied to every single one today ( Aug 20 ) Is this a record?
John

[Bikerbettyboop]

It sounds like it should be a record!!! So let's call it one!! What do you think? Sound ok?

[livingbooper]

Hey, I just discovered this thread.
First we need to figure out the time differences for everyone. Then we can plot a timetable, then agree on a time.
I'm in California, and I'm on Pacific daylight time right now. I know that New York is 3 hours ahead, so if it's 8:00 PM here, it's 11:00 PM in New York. What is the difference for Arizona? And what is the difference between New York and the UK? And France? And Sweden?

Keep working on it Boopers, and we will figure it out!

---Lizzy

[BBooper]

i think we r 6 hours ahead of you guy's in America here in England!!

Hope that kinda helpped! :rolleyes:

BBooper
xxx

[10eke]

When you go to user cp and click edit options, you'll see time offset. There you can see the time differences. Hope that's usefull...

[livingbooper]

This is very helpful. There is an 8 hour difference between California and Britain ( and other Western European countries).
Are you in the same time zone as the UK, 10eke?
So now we need to pick a day when most of us will be able to be online.That's the tricky part. I don't work normal hours because I'm in retail. I work on the weekends, although I've noticd that much of the activity here is during the week. I know that one or two people here log on from work.

So If I log in at 8AM, then Arizona has to log in at 9AM I believe, New York at 11AM, and the UK at 4PM.
Are these times do-able Boopers?

Then of course we need to pick a date. Weekends are bad for me, and I am off Thursday and Friday. How do your schedules look?

Hey, send me some feedback and then perhaps we can really make this happen!!!!!

Take care! I hope to hear from all of you SOON!

---Lizzy

[10eke]

My time is GMt+1. I work in a shoe store for 20 hours a week, and I don't have regular times. Sundays are best for me, also monday mornings and at night after 12(11pm for england) when my mother-in-law has gone to bed. Most Thursdays I'm off, but sometimes I do have to work. These are the best times for me. Of course it's my schedule who decides if I can make it here...

[Bikerbettyboop]

this sounds like it could be a logistics nightmare trying to get everyone on at the same time... but hey I'll play the game as long as someone is the event coordinator and lets us know date and time.....

Arizona doesn't change time.. so we are on Mountain Standard Time... it is so nice not to have to reset clocks!!! Nature does it for us.

[10eke]

It will be hard, but I'm sure we can do this. MGchan, can you create a poll for this?

[mgchan]

I've been giving a lot of thought about this, and even doing a poll... I think the best solution is to come up with a date and since we're all in different time zones, make it an all day affair!

What do you all think?

[BBooper]

i think thats a great idea!!!

BBooper

[Bikerbettyboop]

An all day event sounds like a great idea and a reasonable solution to our time zone logistics problem.

[Boopfan713]

Hi There;
Just the other day Bexi was asking "Where did everyone go?"
I notice that every single post on page one was replied to today. This ties the record that was set on August 20th ( I am not sure if the twenty six threads is a record because I did not realize you could click on the page number for earlier pages and did not check it that day. )
Way to go Boopers.
John

[livingbooper]

An all day event would be cool. I know that some Boopers boop on their work computers, and I notice that we seem to be more active on weekdays than weekends. I would like to vote for a Thursday or a Friday. On Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday I work 12 hour shifts and I would surely miss it! Thursday works for 10EKE too. This would be so fun!

And we would have to create a thread dedicated to this "live chat" day!

How about October 2nd? BikerBettyBoop and I will be done with our show in Prescott by then, and I know I'll be home?????

Or how about a Halloween one?

Sounds like this is starting to come together!

[Bikerbettyboop]

I think we just need someone to set a day and make it an all day event like you both said (Lizzy & John)

I don't visit at any set time.. just whenever I have some spare time... I'm getting busier though with the website sales picking up... it's getting close to holiday time and we'll be crazy busy for a few weeks.

[10eke]

I might quit my job, or get fired, I'll have plenty of time then!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Don't quit your job or get fired.. make sure you have another one lined up first!!

[livingbooper]

Yes, that's for sure!!!
Don't do anything rash now.....
We are probably a year away from getting this idea off the ground!
But if you hate your job, I wouldn't blame you for wanting to quit. Just have something else lined up, like BikerBettyBoop says...

---Lizzy

[10eke]

I know, and if I see a sign 'help wanted' somewhere on a window, I definitely go in and ask about it! I think I can put up with them there for another month...

[livingbooper]

I know how you feel... I've worked for poor employers who make your job miserable and it's no picnic. Good luck on your search, and I hope you find something else soon!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Are you feeling better about your job situation 10ecke or are you still looking for a new job? Good luck and don't get discouraged.

[BBooper]

keep on looking, im sure the perfect job is out there somewhere!!

[10eke]

I've already had the perfect job... But the shop didn't do well, and it had to be shut... :( And then I was out of job :( And I still haven't found anything else, I'm still stuck in the shoe shop...:( But I'm still looking around :)

[BBooper]

keep looking, im sure you'll find some where, its a matter of time, and HEY your still young!!

[10eke]

I will, and thanks!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hey 10eke... do you sell wooden shoes in your shoe shop?

Is it a myth that people in the Nederlands wear wooden shoes and there are windmills everywhere?

I've seen pictures of Holland and it is so beautiful there! You have a very pretty country for your homeland. I love all the flowers and blue sky and the people are so friendly!! Just like you!

I envy you living in such a beautiful country. It must smell wonderful with all the flowers blooming? Do flowers bloom in the fall too or just in spring and summer?

Were you born there?

Don't dispair over your job... if you stop worrying about it something good will happen.. you'll see.... when God closes a door, He opens a window.. so something good will happen for you.. I know it will.

[10eke]

Haha! No I don't sell wooden shoes... I think they are only sold in garden shops. Some people do wear wooden shoes, but I think it's mostly farmers who wear them.
There are only two windmills I know of that's near here. But I don't think they are used... Oh wait I do know one that's used as a bakery! That's a really nice one!
Do you mean tullips? They only bloom in summer I think. I'm not into tullips... I prefer roses...
I'm born here, in Eindhoven to be precisely! So I've lived here for almost 20 years now.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Ha ha you must think I'm nuts to think people still wear wooden shoes but I bet it's a neat collector's item and the tourists love them.

I've seen some photos of the Nederlands and the tulips and flowers are so beautiful and it is so green in the spring and summer.

Are people trying to preserve the windmills that aren't in use anymore? Perhaps saving and restoring them for historical purposes?

I hope so because it would be sad to see them disappear.

[10eke]

Yes, I think some of the windmills are for historic perpose. The bakery I told you about is an oldfashioned bakery, and it's in an oldfashioned windmill, so that's quite historic, don't you think?

[bexi3]

So do I take it that the idea that started this thread has fizzled out? I can see why - too many people, too many time zones!! Although, I was one of three on here today - me, 10eke and Livingbooper! Thats the most I've seen on here! Wohoo! xxx

[10eke]

I'd still like to try, but you're probably right... Too many time zones... But it was a cool idea!

[livingbooper]

Ah, we are all just distracted right now...
I know that I am with my work and believe me, when I ge focussed on something I can get things moving.
We are all just on a break, but when I get a little more time, I'm gonna whip it along a little and then maybe we'll get to movin' and shakin'!
O.k.?
Let's not give up the idea.
Give me another month to get a few priorities behind me, then we'll rock and roll!!!

---Lizzy

[10eke]

you got it! If you say this can work out, I'm not giving up! I'll be waiting...;)

[bexi3]

That's the spirit 10eke! Me and you are on together right now actually - yay!

[Bikerbettyboop]

In one month I will be going nuts... because it will be that much closer to Christmas!!! Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining.. just warning that you may not see or hear from me much in the next few weeks...

I know some of you may be saying "hooray" while others may miss me (hopefully) :P

[livingbooper]

Of course we will all miss you, silly!

Well, I hope all that being busy also means lots of Christmas business, and I wish you a very profitable season!

Take care!
Hope to hear from you pretty soon....;)

---Lizzy

[10eke]

Like livingbooper said: Of course we'll miss you!!!

[bexi3]

Of course we would miss you - in fact, I was about to ask where you were over the last week or so, but then I got to work this morning and saw that you were back! Hehe xxxxxxx

[BBooper]

i can't catch up with this post! :( is livingbooper leaving us??? or is it just a small break???

YOU CAN'T LEAVE! I'D MISS YOU TOO MUCH AND I'M SURE ALL THE OTHERS WOULD TOO! :(

BBooper

[livingbooper]

Calm down, our little BBooper!:)
I'm not going anywhere...I'm just too busy right now to help coordinate our online "chat" effort right now.
BikerBettyBoop is getting very busy with her business and the holidays and will not be in very much for a while, but I'm sure that she will be checking in from time to time. I'm sure that she won't be able to stay away too long...she won't be able to resist popping in every once in a while I'm sure. She's a true Booper fan and she loves us!:D

I am very busy myself with two jobs (my regular one and my new business) but when I take a break once in a while I always stop in here. You guys are my new family!:D

When I finish the office (the wallpapering is taking forever as it is very difficult paper to work with) and finish my new company logo (almost done) and finish entering our online catalogue to our new website.... then I can take a breath and try to coordinate a group "chat".

You are so sweet! I'm touched that you would miss me... I'd miss you and so I cannot go away!
Take care!

---Lizzy

[bexi3]

YAY! XXXX

[livingbooper]

:D ;)

Hey all!
I have a friend that I met in our own forum (Delphi Forums, Free Spirit Riders) who I've been chatting with. We've become pretty good friends and she's moving to a town fairly close to me so I'm hoping to meet her soon. She's on my Yahoo IM so we do real chat from time to time. Anyway I told her that she should put a Betty Boop clock in her new kitchen and I found out that she is also a huge Betty Boop fan! Small world! So naturally I told her about this place. I gave her the address and told her my Booper name, so we should be seeing posts from her shortly.
Her regular screen name is Tweetiebird but I'm not sure if she'll use that here or not. (My name in the outside world, as a few of you know, is MsKittie.....)

Anyway, I'll be watching out for her. She's a cool person. I'll be doing introductions later. If you see her, please give her a big fat "HELLO"!!!!:D :D :D :D

Talk to ya later Boopers!

----Lizzy

[BBooper]

oh, few!! id miss her too much!

hehe you lil BBooper, sounds funny!!

I LOVE ALL U GUYS!! :D

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi Lizzy... did your friend join the forum? I haven't seen her. Encourage her to join. I'm trying to visit as often as I can... seems like it's ages between visits but we're swamped right now.. .it's that time of year.. don't get me wrong I love the extra business and seeing so many people giving Betty Boop as gifts.

[10eke]

I had another idea... we have about 1,200 members. If we find a reasonable time and date to be here at the same time, can't mgchan mail all those 1,200 members and ask them to be there? But all we have to do is find a time and a date and that would be the hardest thing...

[BBooper]

i think it would be hard for mgchan to email all those people. but i suppose there could be an annocement put out!

BBooper
xxx

[10eke]

There are a lot of people who sign up and never come back... So they won't read it... But on the other hand... They can see an email as spam...

[livingbooper]

Yes, that's true. We'll just have to keep talking about it. I have found that if I stay up very late I am on at the same time as Bexi3 in the UK, or if I gat up early. I think that me and others living in the Pacific Time Zone are the farthest west. If we are to do this during regular business hours then people in my time zone need to get up very early or stay up very late.

By the way, have you noticed an increase of new Boopers in the last couple of weeks? More new people are checking us out. This may be a good time to attempt it....

---Lizzy

[10eke]

Yes, we got at least 100 members in a very short time! But we still have to set a time and date... So how are we going to do that?

[BBooper]

that's true nearly everyday now i see a new members name on the front forum page!!

BBooper
xxx

[bexi3]

Can you imagine being all on at the same time?! Our email boxes would be splooshing all over the place (that was a livingbooper word - splooshing!)Apparently thats the noise her email makes when she gets a new email! haha ;) xx

[10eke]

I don't mind getting mail. Do you mind getting mail? I just love getting mail! It means that I have something to read here!

[BBooper]

i agree.. go mail!

BBooper
xxx

[mgchan]

Contacting everyone by e-mail is a good idea! :)

Now if we could only solve the problem of picking a date and time that most of us would be available to log on. :(

[BBooper]

well, i'd only on after school so it would have to be after 4:00pm here in England, does that help?

BBooper
xxx

[livingbooper]

That would mean very early for me... hafta figure out the time.
I am off Thursdays and Fridays.... I work late the other days.
Sounds like a weekday is best for all, though.

Getting closer?

[BBooper]

i can do any day of the week! :D

BBooper

[10eke]

I start working at 10 in the morning, english time. I'm home again at 17.30 english time. Most mondays I'm off. My scedule will change in the next few weeks, as our boss is back in action. Tuesday evenings are a no-no, that's my movie-night. Fridays I work till 8 in the evening english time. and then there's my mother-in-law, she's behind the pc all evening, exept the hour when the soaps are on... between 18.30 and 19.30 english time. Oh, and after 11 english time, when she gone to bed.

There.... My available time...

[BBooper]

lol, we now have a copy of 10eke's schedule! :P anymore people gunna help us :D

[sammiie]

I think such a shame as big as betty is they just not enough people who no about this site i would of thought when i joined there be loads of people.......maybe others just aren`t as decicated as we are....we`ll keep her going no matter what...does every one agree??

[bexi3]

There are quite a few members but unfortunately its the same people who post. Most people post once then don't come back. It's quite nice in a way though because it means that we all know each other cos there's so few of us! :)

[sammiie]

yeah when u put it like that it sounds better won`t have loads of strangers taking over

[JennyBoop]

Well I'm free any day of the week, I'm currently not working until after my hubby comes home. So count me in.:D

[Bikerbettyboop]

It's going to be difficult to get a date and time for everyone to be on line at the same time.....

[livingbooper]

O.k. Boopers!
I'm gonna try to co-ordinate this.
Bexi and I were IMing this morning(my time, afternoon UK time) and I think I can sort this out. It was 8:30 AM my time, Pacific Standard. It was 4:30 PM UK time.
This would be 9:30 Arizona time. It would be 11:30 Eastern time, for you New Yorkers, Floridians, and other east-coast Americans...
I'm not sure where Illinois or the midwest falls here, but I'm sure you Boopers from those parts know your relationship to Eastern Standard.....
10eke, I know you posted a long time ago how your time relates to UK time, but that was so many posts ago, could you post it again? Thanks!

So... If I and other west-coasters start posting at 8:00 AM, would Arizona, etc. folk be able to post at 9:00, and would the east-coasters be able to post at 11:00AM, and would our U.K. friends be able to post at 4:00 PM, and Tineke be able to post during that time??????????? So.... it would be 5:00 Swedish time!
And would a Thursday work for everyone???????

Hey, well....it's a start.....

---Lizzy

[bexi3]

Lizzy's being doing research!
Well I have access to the forum from 8.30 to 5.30 monday to friday. As Lizzy said, we always seem to catch each other at the end of my day and the beginning of hers. Thursdays are fine for me.....! xx

[sammiie]

give an actucal arranged date and post it so everyone has chance to see it a few before given date so everyone is perpared hoe does that sound?

[sammiie]

i mean`t to put a few weeks before given date sorry peeps!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Yep I can post at 9 am on a Thursday ... so let's give it a shot... that would be so much fun!!!

[livingbooper]

Of course we will post a date in the future... I am waiting for a little more feedback, then I'll propose a date. Looks like we can make this happen!!!:D Just a little while longer....:D

---Lizzy

[bexi3]

Well we've got a lot further than we did last time! This might actually take place - at last!! xx

My time is english time + 1 hour. So 4 pm is here 5 pm. My working scedule is changing all the time so I can't say I'm off on Thursday....

[livingbooper]

Well, when do you get off work 10eke?
And does your schedule change every week?
And if we give lots and lots of notice could you switch with someone or request that day off????

Just wondering... it would be so great if you could be on with us too!!!!:D :D :D

[Bikerbettyboop]

Lizzy and 10eke... it sounds like we will just have to do the best we can and try and get as many members to visit as we can. Good job trying to pull it all together!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Lizzy I know what you mean about those 12 hour days... during the holidays I worked 14-16 hours.. it was crazy but fun... I knew that the orders were going to Betty Boop collectors as holiday gifts so it was exciting!!

I hope everyone can make in the 3rd.. it will be fun!!! There will be so much chatting... can't you just hear all of us chatter boxes now???!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

I'm proud to hear you say that you do your homework first before anything else BBooper!! Bexi is right.. that is dedication!!! It is better to get it done early and not put it off til the last minute.. that way you're not rushed to hurry through it. What grade are you in?

[Neckless]

Although, I'm not in America. I have lived there before.
Your 6th birthday has to come before September to be on track with your grade/age.
It goes something like this:

6th grade=11 years old
7th " 12 years old
8th " 13 years old
9th " 14 """
10 " 15 """
11 " 16 ""
12 " 17 ""

[JennyBoop]

Hey I'm an optimistic kinda girl you never know.;)

[Bikerbettyboop]

You're right you never know... probably happen when we least expect it.

[livingbooper]

Well, the 7th is a Sunday. Bexi can't make it and I work, but I go in later on Sunday and perhaps if we all try to yak a little on Sunday we may at least come close to the record..maybe break it.

Hey Bexi... you got any extra work to do on Sunday??? LOL!

[bexi3]

It would be good if we could beat the record on the same day as the last record - I'll just have to try and get to a computer somewhere! This must be the only time that I wish I could come into work on a Sunday!! haha! x

[Bikerbettyboop]

Sunday would be difficult for me too... maybe we shouldn't try for the same day as last year.........?

[livingbooper]

O.k.
We can try for tomorrow or Monday.
If our U.K. friends go on late in their day, say between 4 and 6 o'clock.
And Californians go on between 6 and 8 AM...
And those of you in between adjust your zones to that,
Then we just might pull it off!:D

[Bikerbettyboop]

Well I'll be on tomorrow and Monday both.... so count me in!

[livingbooper]

I'll try to get myself up early and try myself. (Day off, more of a battle, lol)
I just got a reminder call... I have a dentist appointment at 10AM, so I can't be on too long.....
Crown #2, coming right up!
I hope it feels better than this temporary!

[bexi3]

Eew - dentists! Not good! Good luck!

So have we settled on a day? I'm able to be there both today (friday) and Monday cos I'm at work aaaaaaaaaaaall day! So I'll just have to keep my eye on what's happening! x

[Bikerbettyboop]

OH man Livingbooper... I hate the dentist... but hopefully the crown will feel better than the temp.. I hate the temp stuff and fillings and cleanings and well I guess I just dislike the dentist.. but something we have to do right?

[livingbooper]

Yes... I hope this takes care of me for a while! Tooth pain is the worst kind!

Well...I see that many of us regulars are on at the same time and this really has been fun... I can't keep up with all the posts!
But I have to leave now to go to the dentist!

We'll have to do this again sometime!:D

[Bikerbettyboop]

I hope your dentist visit went well and you are back home safe and sound and smiling happily.

Yes, lots of regulars on at the same time today.... it's fun!

[livingbooper]

I'm back. I'm o.k.
But I'm still numbed up. My tongue feels so fat! I am hungry, but I'm afraid to eat yet... afraid to bite my tongue!!!
At least I can type!:)

[Bikerbettyboop]

I hate that numb feeling!!! And it seems like it takes hours to go away doesn't it? Glad you were still able to type.

Hopefully you will have a nice weekend. Don and I are supposed to go riding but it will depend on how my mom feels. She suffered a minor stroke yesterday and my sister had to take her to the emergency room.

[livingbooper]

Oh my!!!! I hope that your mom's o.k.! I will pray for her!

[JennyBoop]

Oh I hope your mom will be ok? I will keep her in my prayers.:)

[BBooper]

how is she doing??

BBooper

[JennyBoop]

I was thinking the same thing.:(

[Bikerbettyboop]

She seemed to be doing better by Saturday and yesterday she said she felt better but today wasn't a good day for her. Hopefully they can find out what is causing these problems. Her blood pressure is better but she can't hear and is dizzy and falls down, so we're trying to keep a watchful eye on her right now.

Thanks everyone for caring so much.

[BBooper]

:( hope she get's better soon! :(

[Bikerbettyboop]

Me too.... I sure don't want anything else to happen to her. We are all so close between my mom and my sis and me. We live next door to each other out here in the country. I moved here first and then brought my mom here and then my sis moved her a year later.

My sister has a brother-in-law on her husband's side who just had his son die on a dirt bike!! My sister just called and told me.. his 17th birthday was last Sunday and he got a new dirt bike and he lost control of it on a curve and went down the side of a hill and was killed! I can't believe it!! That is so sad!!

Gosh we just never know when tragic things are going to happen.

[bexi3]

That's terrible! It always makes it that little bit worse when it's someone so young. You just don't know whats round the corner which is why you should take time to appreciate the people and the situations in your life. I'm really sorry to hear that story Bikerbetty xx

[JennyBoop]

I'm really sorry to hear about that BikerBetty.:(

[livingbooper]

Oh, I am so sorry. That is so tragic.

[10eke]

geez... that's terrible! And he was still so young!

[Bikerbettyboop]

I spoke with my brother-in-law and he said that his brother is feeling so much guilt over buying the motorcycles for his kids but I told him to tell his brother not to blame himself because it was something his sons like to do and it was just a freak accident.

[livingbooper]

Yes, it was just a freak accident. I know that he must feel absolutely aweful, but he shouldn't beat himself up over it, although I'm sure that he is overwrought with guilt. It was not his fault.... accidents happen. Please convey my condolences.
Please let him know that one of your friends wishes him peace of mind and feels that he is not to blame.
Sometimes God takes people young before we feel that they are ready....

I had a cousin a year and a half younger than me. She was the apple of my Uncle's eye. She was a tomboy and filled the place in his heart for the son he never had. When she was 14 he got her a horse. A jumper, a show horse, named Fancy Pants because he was a palomino with a big brown patch on his hind quarters. She took very good care of Fancy Pants and learned to ride English. Then she trained how to jump. I made her first riding jacket. They were very good and won many awards. She became the California State Champion when she was a senior in high school. You have to be very careful around such big animals because you can get hurt. Fancy kicked her a couple of times. The last time she was kicked it was bad and she suffered fractured bones. But she loved that horse! She was on the mend, barely recovered from the injury when she started feeling ill. She hid it from her parents because there was a big competition and she wanted to compete and win. I can't remember exactly what it was, but I think that it was an event leading to the national championship and it was very important. Well, she hid it, but never made it to the competition. She passed out and they rushed her to the hospital. It turned out that she had spinal menengitis and she didn't make it. She had just graduated from high school the month before.
It was explained to me (I was 19 at the time I think) that she had acomplished so much in her young life, that she'd done what she'd set out to do, and that God had decided that he wanted her with him since her life was complete. It rang true for me because she had achieved her goals having lived soley for the horse. She didn't seem interested in having a boyfriend even, although there was a young man who was very much broken up by her departure.

So things can happen quite unexpectedly. I try to take comfort in the thought that God has a plan, even if we do not understand it, and that things happen for a reason. My cousin Diane is alive in our memories as a young, pretty, determined, ambitious young lady. She will remain with us all as such.

I am sorry to have gone on and on so, but this news that you have feels so much like this history of mine. The memories just came rushing back. And somehow typing this story is kind of like a memorial to my cousin in a way, keeping her alive still....
She was a fantastic young lady, and I know that you would have liked her.:)

[bexi3]

It's good that you can see it like that Lizzy. So many people are quick to blame themselves or someone else for people's accidents and tragedies when it really isn't anyone's fault. My mum always told me when I was younger that everything happens for a reason, and if your number is called, then that's the way it was meant to be. It took me a while to get my head round that at a young age, but now I understand it and believe it and it makes things like that easier to understand and accept. x

[JennyBoop]

I believe that too, "Everything Happens For A Reason".:)

[Bikerbettyboop]

Lizzy thanks for the kind words. I spoke with my brother-in-law and gave him your message to give to his brother.

I'm sorry to hear about your cousin Diane. She sounds like a wonderfully talented young woman who did achieve a lot of her dreams at a young age.

I guess it's hard to justify whey some people live such a short time while others (who just don't appreciate life at all! Like murderers, etc.) seem to live forever!

When I was 13, I had a 12 year old cousin named Dennis who was visiting one of our aunts in Florida and he drowned at her house about 2 hours after the family got there! And the tragedy didn't end for that family. Less than a year and a half later, their oldest son was 19 and he was killed in an auto accident 2 days after Christmas!

IT nearly devastated my aunt to lose two sons in less than 18 mos and she and my uncle both went downhill from there and she died 2 years later at the age of 47 and her only daughter also died from a rare kidney disease when she was 30 years old.

So tragedy hit that family hard but I know I will see them all again in heaven someday.

[livingbooper]

Yes, I'm sure that you will.
Looks like God decided that the family needed to be brought back together again and now they are all together and at peace.

Boy, that sure was a whole lot to bear. I hope that I never have to go through all that.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Yep it was pretty rough... but Don and I both have the attitude that we live and love and enjoy life for those in our family who aren't here anymore to enjoy it with us.

[livingbooper]

Good attitude!;)

[Bikerbettyboop]

We think so.. it seems to work for us. Life is just too short to be sad or unhappy. Enjoy all the moments life has to give while you can.
