2002, Starting Over

joelbear

Since I "came out" in more than one way 13 years ago, I have basically only had gay friends. I am friendly with one or two people at work, but these friendships do not extend into my personal life. Recently this has turned into just having bear friends. Well, I think its time to broaden my horizons again and start making some new kind of friendships.

I feel more and more like I have made real friends here and hope to start meeting some of yall in person next year.

I wish I was closer to some of the get togethers that are planned. Maybe next year I'll just make up my mind to take a couple of trips to see some of yall. Vegas would be nice, so would Texas and I really hope to make it to the UK soon.

hugs

Joel - you're welcome to come visit here on December 29th. A bunch of fun apostates, but I can't say any of us are bears. We might find a good hot tub for you and Xena. This could be the year for a few new uh...er...ahem...experiences?

Hey there JBEAR:

Due to all of the positive impressions your statements have had on me in the past (when I snooped) and now as a member, I would be honored to be your friend! I hold you in high regard, even if we sometimes disagree--politely, of course.

Hey Joel,

If you're ever plan on making it to Wa. State, let me know. You are more than welcome at my house. But for GOD sakes, don't act GAY!

I'm gonna make mince meat outta that Osama!

Joel,
Nice resolution. I've made some terrific gay and lesbian friends since leaving the Witnesses. It's certainly widened my experiences!

But my real reason for posting - Billygoat -Where's this party on the 29th? You and Xena and a hot tub! Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Merry Christmas

Joel, sounds like a plan to me. Any time you're planning to visit New England, let me know. I would LOVE to meet you in person. Do you like horses?

Joel: Toronto has a huge Gay Pride Week every summer. I think it's in July and I'm told it attracts a million visitors every year. I'm sure an apostafest could be time to coincide if you come up.

Joel, we'd love to have you come to Texas. If not now, later. I think we are still thinking about a bigger thing in February or March. Andi?

Maybe we should just all meet in Costa Rica. May as well do something exciting while we're at it. They have hot tubs in Costa Rica I believe

Where are you, anyway, Joel? Come on to Texas, man. We'll outfit you in a 10-gallon hat and boots like Hoss used to wear, and take you out to Billybob's Texas. What happens then is up to you.

Texas sounds like a lot of fun. I'm blasting through there next summer on my way to Fla. I'm thinking we need to have pizza?
