I agree, I have along believed that Perry knows exactly what's going on with Journey; I still say like I have before; " I believe they are still good friends(ALL of them) and that Neal, Jon and the others are very protective of Perry, and this we hate each other act is just that an act to ensure Perry's privacy. Neal may be a lot of things,but one thing he is to me (IMO) is a very good friend to Perry and part of being that good friend is being the fall guy in this messy game of cat and mouse that is being played in order to keep the wall of privacy up to protect his friend; I feel that Neal would do anything for his friend and vice versa, his friend would do anything for him; including ( JMO) helping him restart Journey (TBF) even though they all knew that Steve could/ would not be able to tour again with them; Thus making him the sixth member off the record;and privy to whatever is going on (IMO)

I can't make up my mind if you are joking or nuts!
Unless, you know, them personally and can state for a fact that my opinion couldn't be a possibility ( because in this world anything can be possible) then I wouldn't be so quick to be rude to another (until now) My opinions couldn't be anymore of a joke or nuts as any of the crap you post, miss posting my breast for the whole world to see, did that turn you on?

Sorry you took this so personally, annpea. You've put out a pretty extreme view point, one that does not particularly gel with what the world gets to see, certainly not one that would ever occur to me, and so I responded with a flip comment. I didn't think I needed to add a dozen

smileys to emphasise that it was flippant and not to be taken seriously.
As for your response - I gather you've had a bad day and my particular choice of words hit a raw nerve, so I'm not going to take offence. I would like to clear something up though:
I have lost more than a dozen people I love dearly to cancer. I have spent the last 15 years of my life supporting not only cancer research but also those affected by it. I don't just stick a ribbon on my coat, or in my sig line, and drop few coins into a box (although those are important things to do!) I've had my hair that was long enough to sit on when braided shorn off and donated to be made into a wig for a chemo-patient, I've worked in a family support centre taking kids out for day trips so that their cancer-suffering parents can have a day of not having to be brave for the kids, I've sewn silk camisoles and nighties for women who have just had mastectomies and double mastectomies so that they can get some kind of comfort when they feel like someone has just poured boiling oil over their chest, I've taken care of tiny children too young to understand what is going on while their parents sit with a loved one who is dying, and I've taken on the job of trying to explain to those babies why grandpa, or aunty, or daddy, isn't here any more...
Cancer is a terrible, horrible, insidious thing; it leaves us powerless and scared and affects more than just the person who had it. My father lost the battle with it, my mother is starting hers. And I am prepared to do a lot to try to prevent it, and to help those who are hurting from it. So when someone challenged the women on this board to do something more than just put a pink ribbon in their sig line, I thought "you know what, I absolutely agree." It wasn't done for some kinky kick, it was done because real women with real breasts get cancer. I wasn't comfortable about it, I
was embarrased by all the jokes, but I tried to turn those into something positive, by asking people to drop a dollar into the next cancer collection box they saw. I don't know if any of them did, but I'll bet you more people remembered my sig line and thought a bit about breast cancer than all those pink ribbon support sigs put together (and I'm not dissing on anyone who did that - you guys are great!)
And when stevew2 and T-bone protested my stopping using that sig, I could have taken offence at the tone, but I chose to read it as friendly but clumsy affection. Which is kind of my point - you get to choose how you interpret what someone posts on a message board or in an email. If something is open to interpretation, I tend to assume the poster is meaning something positive, just not necessarily getting the words right. And if it's not open to interpretation, I try to assume they're not in a great mood and over-reacting, and try not to take offence.
And when someone asks for help, I try to give it. I gather using photobucket didn't work for you with your avatar.
I did a search on-line, and these are the closest I could find to what your original lost avatar looked like. If you want to use any of them, post the url text given into the box in your 'link to off-site avatar'. If you want your old one back and know the url for it, PM it to me and I'll sort it out, or if you have the image on your hard drive, PM me and I'll send you details for you to email it to me.

Hope your day was better today.
Why treat life as a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in an attractive & well-preserved body? Get there by skidding in sideways, a glass of wine in one hand, chocolate in the other, body totally worn out, screaming WOOHOO! What a ride!
