Well I met Tonjha and her husband ( name withheld out of respect). She is very down to earth and and has a very sweet voice. They both have a hoosier accent which I thought sounded southern. After having Tojha go through some books I did'nt have room for
(she took them all - way to go Tonjha! Much appreciated.), we went out to eat at Bennigans.
Tonjha will be posting the picture we took standing in front of the Bennigans sign as soon as she gets back home.
It really felt good to discuss hep c frankly and openly in person with someone else who has it. Tonjha's husband was also knowledgeable about it and he was just real easy to talk to, like an old party buddy.
Oh yea, where are my manners, Tonjha can you tell your husband thank you for buying my dinner? - I forgot ( mabey just a little brain fog )
My thoughts afterward are that Tonjha is just like she is on tribe except she does'nt talk like an indian guru like she does in her blogs. Also, I came away from the experience emboldened (is that a word?) about speaking openly about my hep c. I was embarrassed
about it and only spoke about it in hushed tones when other people were near. But listening to Tonjha talk about it without any hint of embarrasment in that restaurant has somehow given me courage to not feel "less than" or inferior to other people.
God Bless You Tonjha,
You really are one of the beautifull people.

Sat, August 26, 2006 - 12:07 PMDid You Ever Wonder....
Can you cry under water?
How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
Why do you have to "put your two cents in".. . but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?
Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
What disease did cured ham actually have?
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?
If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.
Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural
Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?
If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?
Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!
If Wiley E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?
If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?
Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?
Why did you just try singing the two songs above?
Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?

Glad you had a good time and that Tonjha got some extra meds. Excellent stuff!!

Sat, August 26, 2006 - 8:30 PMAwwh... Dear Sweet Brock... I will tell the hubby that you said "Thanks"... we both truly apprieciated your generous offer... and loved meeting you. You are also down to earth... sweet... and honest. I did not realize that you felt uneasy about speaking about Hep-C... but do know that to feel embarased about it is just a waste of time and energy. I decided a long time ago that nobody deserves this disease and everybody needs to stop acting like it is the world's biggest secret shame... LOL
I have posted the pictures on my profile... and will post them here. I think it is so funny that you thought I was an Indian Guru... LOL. My blogs and many of my postings are Inner Thoughts... on the outside... I'm still just ME... I just like to paint pictures with words... and express the things that I normally keep to myself.
So... Just for you.... From the Indian Guru...
We all must walk with a foot in both worlds... the balance between these worlds in the true challenge. We must learn to think with a Divine heart... while walking in the real world. This requires us only to be true to our self and others... in regular words.... What I believe in my heart defines my thoughts and actions (most of the time)... but I'm still just me on the outside.... LOL
Well, I'm beat... so Big HUGS Brock... "Thanks for the books"... it will take me a while to go through all of them... I forgot to ask... are there any that you would suggest as a beginning point?
Keep Smiling,
Tonjha -
