I read over some blogs today about "New Chat Rooms"...ect.ect. All of it was interesting, but nothing I haven't seen USA Chat go through before.
I had to stop and think how long I've been a regular at the site. Amazing enough...over four years! Man can I tell you some funny stories...some sad ones as well.
I've seen the site grow with all it's little growing pains. I remember when Tears put up USANETWORKNOW. I was one of the first 10 to become a member. I was there when Tears counted down to 100 members then 1000 members... all of us yelling with excitement.
I've watched people come and go. I've watched "new chatters" become regulars and been given the opportunity to be a friend to them. I've watched "old regulars" leave because they were unwilling to "go with the flow of change". Absolutely "nothing" stays the same. But if we are lucky, with change comes new opportunity.
For me, every person that comes to the site is an opportunity for me to make a new friend, maybe learn something, share something and make my life a bit more interesting. Anyone who says "Chatters" don't have a life... doesn't chat...lol.
Now with that being said, it's like coming home. There's a familiar feeling about home. There is always someone there that cares, is willing to listen or laugh with you. Sometimes...forgive you with that hug or kiss or love.
USA Chat is "Home Sweet Home" to many of us. Tears has provided us with a home....and for that...I say "Thank you Daddy Tears" you rock!! You are crazy as hell sometimes...but thats what I love about you babes!
So folks...take care of your home, be grateful for it and love your online family while you have it because one day it's here....and the next day it could be gone. Then whatcha gonna do eh?? Think about it.....
