“no I haven't had the pleasure. Right now I don't have a computer at home so I stick with robbing corporate band width and not doing my job. LOL!”

“yea, i don't come here often anymore...

“Shame...

“I better add you then, Richdude. =)

MeAngReeN, there's also a TT MySpace page.”

“Thanks ruby! I'm gonna have to check this out...”

“Here's the official TT MySpace page:

http://www.myspace.com/thebackpackercom”

“http://www.ktvu.com/news/10100354/detail.html?subid=22105264&qs=1;bp=t


This was a pretty cool read.”

“That is cool”

“god. i'm so friggen addicted.”

“Yeah, me too.”

“What's Myspace?”

“Oh whatever.. I saw your beautiful photo of AmyG on the can!”

“I can't believe she didn't crush that poor toity!”

“poor amy.”

“i like bobo's infamous "flippin' the bird photos" of everyone. i feel honored to have made his photo list!”

“OK, my brain isn't working this morning.
How do I send a "friend invite"?”

“Go to your friend's myspace page and click on "add to friends" or go to your home page, click on "invite" on the top menu line to input email addresses of people you know.”

“Sorry, SS. I blocked you. Hope you don't take it personally. I'm just looking for young hotties.”

““Go to your friend's myspace page and click on "add to friends"............

Where on the friend's page is that button?
I could not find it. The dang page was to 'busy' with flashing do dads and stuff.”

“That's probably why it's hard to find. It's frustratin when people do all that distracting crap IMHO.


It's usually under their picture and under the heading "Contacting [username]" on the upper left of their page.”

“Thanks Ruby, she solved the problem by requesting "friends" herself.”

“Does everyone here have a myspace?”

“I don't know.”

“No, Pamela, just a handfull of us. I think I have just about every TT'er added to myspace that has a page.”

“hey Chili, i finally blogged my Christmas Day w/pics, you can see my sweet Jetboil there. i just got off of the phone with my myspace friend Stacey, she's my #1 in top 8; you can see her in my PCT blog. i wanted her to do the Mt Woodson hike w/me tonight, but she just came home from rockclimbing all day. oh well. i still have to talk someone into this.”

“I started to create a MySpace page so my students could learn more about me, but I didn't finish because it seems like MySpace is mostly young people.

Instead I went to FaceBook which is only for people with .edu email addresses, which is colleges and universities.

So, my question is how weird is it for a 57 year old to be on MySpace?”

“It probably happens, but like you Phil, I think it seems more like a younger person's thing.
But I guess you're only as young as you feel.”

“Phil, only the kids think so. But you know what, that's what kids think about anything we do. Really, it's not even most of them. So I don't give those kinds of kids the time of day.

I actually have quite a few of my kid's friends on my site. They think I'm cool, they love me, they call me mom or ma. They know that I am sooo here for them. That I have lived a life, (and come back from it), where I can understand them. They know I will listen and not judge, but that I will also give it to them straight.

I keep my myspace clean and not just because there are kids on it. It's because it's the better part of me.

I also have my own myspace friends, outdoor people like me, who are carefully allowed or chosen. I won't take just anyone, I read their stuff for a while.

Absolutely nothing weird about adults in myspace at all, at least not the ones I know.”

“pretty weird, phil, but this comes from a 53 year old who loves online gaming.....go figure”

“Pamela - nice "MySpace" page! I liked your song too.”

“Cool "myspace" site. Seems like you like all the same things I do.....especially my helpmate............”

“Thank you Phil! Means a lot to me. That page is ALL ME! That song is one of my favorites; because of the comfort I picture. Do you know the story behind it? Here you go:

“The lyrics for the song ‘Big House’ were actually lyrics to a song that the kids taught us to sing here,” says Stuart. “I was in junior high or high school on the north shore of Haiti working with my parents, and these kids would be singing this song. We wrote ‘Big House’ using those lyrics. It’s just a song about the hope of heaven.

“If you’re a kid living here, you most likely live in a hut with a mud floor and a tin roof. You’ve got 10 family members sleeping with you. You might even have to sleep in a chair or something. One day, you look down the street and see a house. You think, I wonder if that’s what heaven is like—a big house with everything we need: a room, a bed and all the food we need. Someday, I’ll go there, to my Father’s house. So that song means a lot to the kids here.”

"The band purchased a parcel of land in August 2004; and today the Hands and Feet Project is helping orphans like Thamara, whose mother died about a year after she was born."

These guys are awesome and they make me remember that I have a whole heck of a lot to be thankful for! :O)

An Attitude of Gratitude for 2007, now THAT is a resolution worth making and keeping!”

“Thank you too Chappy! He has always been there for me, even when I turned my back on Him and went my own way. He waited for me. I've never known anyone that patient, have you? As a parent I can only aspire!”

“Very cool page, Pamela! Looks like you have worked hard on it.
Your kids are blessed.”

“I liked the "Free Hugs" Video.”

“Pamela, He waited patiently for me for 33 years though I always suspected Him of looking over me when I was young....then I graduated from HS and all hell broke loose for a while......but that wasn't the plan ;)”

“Pamela - Thanks for the extra info. I have liked that song for a while. Again, very cool the way you shared so much about yourself.

Has anyone tried to insert a hit counter in any of their MySpace pages? That would be interesting. My hit counter shows when each hit originated and keeps statistics...but I haven't tried to insert the HTML code in another web site's pages.”

“Well chappy, this is how it's been for me: if the plan ain't working, you can pretty much bet it was mine and not His! =)

Hey Richdude, isn't that "Free Hugs" video awesome? I cried the first time I saw it, and the second, and the third. . . I think it's pretty much one of the grandest idea's ever; I'm thinking of making a button to wear all of the time. Does that sound a little crazy? Maybe I should pray on it first? One time a friend of mine from church was in the store, and then another friend dropped in from Scouts, and then another from the neighborhood; so three times I came out from behind my counter and gave hugs. Finally one of my regular customers came up for his turn at the register and said, "hey, do I get one of those too?" So I said, "Sure". An older gentleman, who knows the last time he was hugged; he was just so tickled that I actually came around the counter and gave him one! Everyone needs more hugs! 4 a day to survive. 8 a day to be healthy. And 12 a day to be healthy and happy!

Hey Phil, You might have noticed I have trakzor, it works pretty well. Sometimes I do notice strange things, like my daughter is reported as being in Chicago, IL or Carlsbad, CA. But mostly I can figure out who people are if they are regulars at my site, and eventually mark them by name. It's kinda neat to see people from all over the states and world looking at my myspace.

Has anyone here asked to add me as friend besides Chili? I have three people lined up, but no letters of intro with them. So I am busy checking their sites over and trying to figure out how they found me.”

“I requested an add from you Pamela.”

“I didn't get an option to add text and explain who I am”

“Yep, Pamela. One is from me.

I love that song too.”

“MarkO has no friends!! So sad!! I am his only friend! :-P

MarkO post a picture so people know wtf you are!!!”

“Dang right!!

I tried posting a picture but I think I broke it!

How does one find people on there..................say, a Bobo for instance?”

“I just got one of these things going early this morning.

Not really too keen about the whole thing, but my wife encouraged me to do it, so we'll see how it goes.”

“I tried Gemmie's email and there was this stupid picture.

Hey, I know that dork!”

“www.myspace.com/chili36

Bobo is gone from myspace.”
