am proud to be selected as a Founder in Joe's Sharing & Caring
Society.
This organization supplies the best information on the Internet and it's
FREE!
I
am retired from the field of mainframe computer consulting and systems
design. I started in the field in 1958 and enjoyed the work
and its challenges
immensely.
I
now live in the Detroit, Michigan area where I work on the Internet
and
edit for Internet publications (I used to be a technical writer also).
My
hobbies are Bible reading, hosting a chat room on
AOL where I minister
to mostly
teens, and learning more about the personal computer and
its software. I also
have an email ministry where
I pass along various writings.... I do none myself.

Founder Symen

Thank
you, Joe, for allowing me to be part of your family and for
giving me the honor of becoming a Founder
in your Caring & Sharing & Loving Society.
One of the things that I liked when I first became
a member was the help you gave me and I got the
best value for my money spent - 0$! Like I said before -
ya got the best newsletter going! I appreciate what
you do for me and the rest of your members.
I enjoy the graphics and especially the Sunday newsletter.
I've got them on all on file. Best reference material
I have ever received - and it's free!
I live in Barrie, Ontario (in snow country).
I
retired from parts and started trucking in August of 94
and the roads haven't been the same since!!! I
consider myself a "paid tourist". I love driving and
meeting new people. Been through most all
of the states and provinces and now I'm on a
dedicated run from to Mansfield, OH hauling parts for the
Honda assembly plant in Alliston and get to go on occasion
to Vermont, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky, South Carolina.
I love listening to the Christian radio stations, especially the
ones that play Southern bluegrass gospel.
My
favorite hobbies are collecting jokes, articles, stories and sending
them on to friends and acquaintances. I just pass
along the little blessings of joy to you that I receive from other
wonderful people in my life.
And lastly, gardening - I love watching flowers grow.
Favorite
Quote:
"I am where I am and it's OK because I am where I am and
it's enough."
Many
thanks again for the honor of being
a founder - I appreciate it very much.

It
is indeed an honor to be asked to become a Founder of this
society. I
Can’t
recall when I joined... it's that memory thing... but it is
certainly
One
of the best moves that I have made.
A
couple of years ago, you
Indicated
that you were running short of material for the newsletter. I
Thought
that I could help in some small way
by contributing material
that I thought funny.
I
am a retired physician living with my wife of 41 years and
our
five year Old
German Shepherd, Jenna, on the sunny shores of
Lake Simcoe....
Approximately 75 miles north of Toronto,
Ontario, Canada.
We
enjoy Boating, travel, cooking..... and, of course,
eating! We
have three adult Sons. The eldest is a
computer "guru"
and works in Toronto. Our middle Child
is a professor at a
university in Suwon, South
Korea. The youngest owns a company in
Toronto
that designs and manufactures sports clothing.
When I retired about 10 years ago, my son
gave me an old computer. I
didn't Even know
how to turn it on! I was concerned that I would
do something
Wrong
and break it. I have come
a long way with the help of my
children And, of
course, Joe who has helped me out on
numerous
occasions. I am Certainly not an expert,
but, I feel very
comfortable using a computer and
I
am able to help friends solve their computer
problems.
The
biggest joy in our lives is our five
grandchildren who range in
age From
three to eight.
Thank
you Joe for inviting me to be a Founder of
this most wonderful society.
All
the best.
Founder

I
am sorry it took me so long to get back to you, it was quite
a shock,
but YES I would love to become a Founder.
My fervent prayer is
that I am worthy. I
am joining a fantastic group of Founders of
*Joe's Caring & Sharing Society*, and I want you
and them to
be as proud of me as I am of all of you.
My
name is Jorja and I live in Huntley, Il. I have been married
to
my best friend of 36 years. I am a happy and 'upbeat' person
that loves to laugh. To me, laughter is one of the most
beautiful
sounds in the world.
I
am handicapped due to a back injury 5 years ago and
must rely on
my wonderful husband, family and 2
very special friends to help
me out. I have found since
my injury just how many 'truly'
wonderful people
are out there that will lend you a hand.
My
favorite quote is: "If there is anything better
then to be
loved, it is in loving".
I
have no children of my own but I have 7 sisters
and 5 brothers
so thanks to them I have
plenty of nieces and nephews to love
spoil
and help keep me young.
I
love doing all kinds of crafting, crocheting
and reading. I love
to learn! That is one of the (many)
reasons that I love
JS&CS. I learn something everyday.
I consider it a great
honor to become a Founder
of the loving family called Joe's
Sharing & Caring Society",
and I will do my best to make all of you proud of me.
Love
always
Founder
Jorja

Thank you very much. This is
a great honor
I live in Southern
California in Garden Grove,
right down the street from
Disneyland, I have been living
in this house since I was
3, it belonged to my mother
and father my father passed
six years ago and after
taking care of my Mom for 10
years she passed a year ago April
Now there is my Husband
Dave, My Daughter Amber
and her two kids Joe and Rosie.
I have 3 dogs a Bicon (
Snuggle bunnies ) A Silky Terrier ( Precious Pup )
and a
5 pound Yorkshire Terrier ( Winnie the pooh )
These are
my babies. I have 7 cats that my mom left me
and two
birds and a Desert turtle, so besides reading
the news
letters for our caring society I take care of
my house
and all my pets. Another thing that I do is
when family
and friends come in from other area's and
from out of state we welcome them into our house
and
entertain them, it seems like there is always
someone
here who is visiting.
I love sending stuff to you to share with the rest
of our
Society so it is a pleasure and an honor to be
made one
of the Founders.
The picture above is me and
my baby's.
Winnie is on the left
Snuggles is in the middle and Precious
is on the right,
this is an older picture of me, but I still look the
same.
I am
so happy
that I could Dance
Always thinking of you and
the Society!
Love,
Midwekmary Mary
P.S. I also collect Betty Boop stuff LOL

First of all I would like to thank you for this
fabulous
opportunity to be a founder at this
awesome society.
I have been a member for a couple years
and enjoyed
every moment of it.
Joe you are the selfless one!
The number of times you have helped me,
as well as
Mike and other members of the
society, are priceless to me!
I truly enjoy this society.
I laugh, get angry when
someone picks on
you, and cry sometimes when I hear
of our
members bad news.
I love all our members
and feel as though
I have known them many years as family.
No where else online do you ever find this!
Again thank you for this honor!
I am 49 years old and live in the small town of
Ravenna, Ohio.
I am not married nor do I have
children.
I was married for 10 years and have been
divorced since 1990.
I have 2 step daughters and
3 step grand
kids whom I rarely
see but we all know
we are
there and love each other.
I am not lonely.
I live with my Father since my
Mom passed
a year ago.
Also I work in a nursing home.
Most
of the time I do medical Records. I have done
that for 13 1/2 Years.
I am also a part time nursing
assistant
which I love the most.
It's very rewarding
as I can get some of
the patients to smile and I
just eat that up!
They have so little.
As for my hobbies, I love playing with graphics
even though I am just learning, I make quilts
and crochet.
I used to do cross stitch but can't see
it
anymore, LOL!
I am a nut about fishing
but haven't had
time to go.
There are not many things that I dislike.
I love to laugh but also have a very
serious side.
My dislikes are rude people, mean people
and animal
haters and prejudiced people.
TO EACH THEIR OWN, GOD MADE US ALL!!
My favorite quote is:
If it
ain't broke, don't fix it!!
Favorite color is blue
Favorite food is pizza, LOL
I am just a plain Jane type girl! Sort of
redneck
I love you and Thanks so much again!
I am just bouncing!
Nothing has ever happened to me like this
before!
God Bless
Take Care

=Meet
New Founder Frank=
WOW!!
My pleasure to accept a Foundership, to say
the least!
First of all, being born in Pa., Residing in
Hamburg for
over 20 years,
Working at Dana Corp for over 34 Years, after
being
discharged from the U.S.ARMY.
Married to a sweet woman from Costa Rica of
who had just
arrived a few weeks ago to try out the US!
Having been a member of the *Joe’s Sharing
and Caring Society*
close to its formation ages ago and being
highly thankful of
its existence!
Brother Joe has bailed me out on
many
occasions!
Remembering quite a while back of big
problems
with my Computer, with Joe spending over 1 ¾ hrs
with
me on the phone straightening the mess out.
I've come a long way since then but not without his help
and others in this fabulous Society!
I'm
always telling people of "JC&SS"
Hoping they will join to be able to enrich
themselves
with their knowledge of the Computer and the dangers
also associated therewith!
My favorite likes are Camel Cigarettes and
Miller High Life!
We have to have some spice in our life!
Main Hobby is Probably my Computer and trying
to learn a little
more day by day, as there is so much to learn
-- you can never learn
enough!
Although still considering myself a "Newbie"
in my
estimation!
Considering being asked to be a
"Founder" a very high
reward!
Favorite Quote "Kay sa rah--say
rah"
'Whatever will be--will be”- don’t even
know if it’s
spelled correctly?
Thanks again!
Founder FRANK

New Founder Sharlett

(She is also our In-house Poet!)
I am so proud
and happy at having been invited to be a Founder of our
great
society!
I never dreamed I would be honored as such!
I've been
a member a couple years now and don't know a
lot about
computers but I know much more than most I have talked
with who've had a computer for years longer.
My first association with my dear sweet Joe was a
question.
A friend had told me that he could help me with my
computer problem so I emailed him and he fixed whatever
it was.
This man has been such an example in loving and caring to
me ever since.
I
have always looked forward to my newsletter and make sure
I have
time to thoroughly enjoy it as there are many things
of interest
daily.
I personally know a couple of the founders and
think it
is just amazing what they do and all so unselfishly sharing
their knowledge.
Thanks to Joe and the Founders and
members, I believe
this to be the very best newsletter on the Internet!
I consider myself a writer or I strive to be.
I am a Viet Nam Era
veteran who was a teenager in the
late sixties.
I was a flower child and still consider myself as such.
Living here in Central Florida, I am able to grow many different
types of lovely flowers.
I believe in God and love of country
and man.
I also love my little pets, Precious, my little Hemingway
cat and Sweetie, my parakeet, who hangs upside down in his
cage,
like a bat.
They show me unconditional love and are teaching me daily
about life.
I enjoy cooking but have to watch myself
when I get in the candy, cake,
or pie making mood.
I love sweets and like to bake.
I share
all my goodies with friends and neighbors.
If not I
would weigh a ton and be a walking heart attack
because I do enjoy eating.
I think that goes along with liking to cook.
I write for a few newsletters, The Sermon Illustrator,
being
one, also Storytime Tapestry, on which I am a senior
writer.
I also have stories and poems in hard copy newsletters
and
our local paper.
I recently realized a lifelong dream of having
a book
published.
It is a book of poems, called, Sharlett's
Web
of Hope.
It can be purchased online at Amazon,
BartlesandJames.com
and publishamerica.com or ordered at your
favorite bookstore.
For years I have wanted to study to become a minister and
am
starting an online course this year.
It is actually a
Chaplain course and I feel like I can do
some good in this
capacity as God has given me so much.
My life is truly
blessed and I am so blessed to know each
and every one of you!
Thanks Joe, for this lovely gift
!

Dear Founder Joe!
Such a privilege to
be asked to be a Founder!
The newsletter and
graphics are awesome. I
believe that the Society's
Web pages and
letters are the most beautiful and useful on the net.
The
Members are like
many facetted jewels in a grand design of which I am
Proud to be a tiny
part.
If I were to tell
you anything about myself, it would be to say that I
appreciate, like
many others, all that is good and beautiful; and hope
to be able to
contribute to the beneficial endeavors of this community.
My first
introduction to the newsletter began with a discussion with a
young lady who
worked in a computer store about four years ago.
Her
enthusiasm and
assured manner convinced me that anything was possible
with these machines
(computers). She
highly recommended that I
subscribe to the
newsletter. All
questions, big or small, would be
cheerfully answered
there. I have been
tinkering ever since then, in an
effort to discover
what makes computers tick! The
challenge has become
both a hobby and
occasional business.
My other endeavor is working for a local library in a small town east
of Edmonton, Alberta.
Bits, Bytes AND Books!
Occasionally I enjoy spending time
with my daughter, her husband and two
Boys ages 4 and 6.
They are a constant source of inspiration.
Perhaps, someday,
when I get my nose out of the
computers long enough,
I'll finish renovating the kitchen I tore
apart.
My original home
was in southern Ontario .... but computer literacy
knows no bounds. Just imagine .... we are all World citizens!
Thank you again so
much!
Happy Surfin'!
Liz from AB, CA


 Hi
Joe, I am honored, proud, and indeed privileged to be
asked
to be a Founder of Joe's Sharing and Caring Society....
I have
really enjoyed receiving the Newsletter and the
graphics that we
receive. This Newsletter has so much to offer
to others.
I
am a helper at heart. I always love to help
others (when
I can right now I am home bound)
at church, family, friends, and
at my job when I had one.
Just recently I was asked to be a
Greeter in the Bible
Study Chat room that I attend daily...Isn't
God something
else, you see, I was a Hostess, Usher/Greeter at the
churches I attended and now God put me right back
where He knows I
love to be.
I,
as you know, am a novice when it comes to doing graphics but
I
have so much fun putting them together. I am a part
of a graphics
group and they send out challenges for us to do
and this way I am
learning how to use the tools on PSP that I have.
The
picture that I send you is My Dad and me. My Dad is the best
in
the world...You see if God would have asked me
to give Him a
description on how I would like my Dad to be...
I could not give
Him one because God gave me the very best.

Well
I could share lots more but I think that I had better
stop here
because I would use up all the WRITE MAILS
that there is...LOL.....
God Bless you, Joe
