  This is too funny....I just said good bye to you on your moving on post. And here you are waiting for a ride.
  
  This post was due to scalywag's river trip post. It is hysterical. But I must warn you.....you need to set aside some time to read it. I think there are close to 250 comments.
  
  Glad to see you a haven't boarded the bus yet. ;)
  

• mobil said on Sep 24, 2006....

  Oh Jenna: Never thought I'd pass up a trip down a lazy river
  with you. I am unpacking now, my ass is wet from sitting
  on the bank waiting. I thought a day trip maybe, you know,
  on a raft. Lay back and watch the branches and the clouds
  drift by.
  
  Two big coolers, food and drink, a couple fishing poles, no
  books. The conversation is to interesting. Bare feet drifting
  in the water. Straw hats keeping the sun at bay. I like the
  other trip too, just don't have the time right now. Sometime
  when you want to take that day trip, well, think of me, ok.
  
  love
  mobil
  

• Jenna said on Sep 24, 2006....

  I certainly will think of you, my friend. Sounds like a nice trip to take someday.
  
  Hey....sorry about the wet ass. :)
  

• Mamie said on Sep 24, 2006....

  let me know how that works for ya! Let's get this straight, mobil will be changing in the back of the boat. Ed is on board and you are THE jenna...can I be Ginger?
  

• Jenna said on Sep 24, 2006....

  No Mams...this isn't my trip. I was looking for a partner for scalwags trip. Go check out his post. I think there is still room for more people.
  

• Mamie said on Sep 25, 2006....

  thanks girlfriend, I posted where to find me at your first port-of-call. Sorry that your friend Mobil had to take a bus out...I will bring him to the next SC event to surprise you and SL!!
  Good luck with Ed in your canoe, i have to tell you, I think he is play acting wanting to go with you. It was a sympathy 'yes'...pack your own wine in case he bails!! :)) yours, Mamie
  

• silverwhisper said on Sep 25, 2006....

  hey, what are you trying to say, mamie?! :p

  ok, I just spit my red wine all over my sweat shirt! :))) Mamie wouldn't be caught dead with a post -it stuck on her back or random paper on her shoe...(raises her eyebrows and smiles at jenna with just the smallest of nods...) I was JUST KIDDING, JENNA! I think Ed will do fine but we better book a different onboard movie...he ain't gonna go for the "Perfect Storm"!

  mamie: oo, sorry that i caused you to snarf red wine...my profoundest apologies! :>

• Jenna said on Sep 27, 2006....

  Hey mamie....pull up a chair, sit here....(as jenna secretly slides a whoopie cushion under her seat)....
  
  Ed does not feel any sympathy towards me...he was stuck on a freakin chair between secretlife and scaly. That was ridiculous. He decided to ride the elephant, step out on the ledge and give adventure a try. And he knew it was safe with jenna. I will not take the sympathy vote.
  
  With that said...Ed... I am not sure I will make the virtual Friday. I work all day and then am heading for college tours with my daughter on Sat. If by chance I am not there when you all are ready to leave...I have noticed your good friend Jade needs a partner. Feel free to leave without me. I will try to virtually catch up.
  

• silverwhisper said on Sep 28, 2006....

  aw, jenna, i'm sorry, but look at it this way, college tours are an opportunity to bond. :>
  
  and hey, i'm no fair-weather partner! i'll wait. :>

  Jenna:
  
  I needed a place to put a note re: your comments on my latest post and just things- Sorry to use this space but everything else is too crowded!
  
  I know you knew there was something I had to say...something bad bad. Of course there are many things, but you recognized the pain in me from the first moment. You reached out with a loving heart and an open mind to a stranger, and for that I thank you.
  
  I feel you holding my hand quite often- even though it's just thru cyberspace, I feel it. You and I and mobil......we've got some kind of connection because our hearts are similar. I don't know if that's because we've made so many mistakes, or if we all realize and believe truly that love is so much bigger than our mistakes. I'm really grateful, whatever the reason, to have found you both.
  
  Every person has many secrets.
  Sharing them opens me up and my goal is to be open with myself.......all the way open. Thank you for allowing me to do so safely. I feel safe.
  
  I love you Jenna.
  I know without ever seeing you that you are a beautiful beautiful woman.
  
  SL
  

• Jenna said on Sep 28, 2006....

  SL, I love you too sweet one. Always know, I am a safe person for you to come to. I AM holding your hand....I am glad you feel it.
  
  I always have a cup of coffee on my deck each morning. In those few moments, I talk to God. This morning I asked him to take care of you. To make you well and keep you there. I felt such a sense of peace.
  
  My day was rather tough emotionally....I came home with a to do list a thousand miles long. I knew I didn't have time to write comments to people's posts but I thought I would check to see what's new. I checked, then I turned off the computer. Then I remembered a smartass comment I left mamie on this post, so I thought I had better check it .... and here you are with your kind note... so many signs SL that we were meant to meet.
  
  I love you baby girl....just know I am here for you. You do not have to be the strong one with me.
  
  Thank you for your kind words. They mean so much! We will meet one day, that I am sure of.
  
  Your sister,your friend,
  jenna

  WOW!!!What a ride!
  
  I just recently got on the boat of SoulCast and the first message in the bottle that I read was Jenna´s The Gift. It completely fascinated me. And a lot of the comments warmed my heart.
  
  Well, I just followed your trail up to here dear Jenna and hopped on the boat. Hope you don´t mind?
  
  Words play a great role to my personal healing. Personal words uttered by trusted friends and yes, kind strangers made me survive.
  
  Learning from experience, I know the only way to return the kindness I was blessed with is to give them to others.
  
  I do hope, I could inspire and bring others peace, the way I felt after reading your words, dear Jenna...thanks for the ride (gingerly getting off the boat, waving goodbye, silently wishing there will be more boat trips to come)!
  

• Jenna said on Oct 01, 2006....

  Welcome dear one...I hope you enjoy the ride here at soulcast. I look forward to reading more about you!...I am glad you enjoyed The Gift. And yes there are so many wonderful people here to read and support you.
  love to you!
