<p>I was thinking about George this morning. He was so proud of having seen Lennon's beautiful white piano. This is for you, George!</p>

<p>George was my very first friend on the original tbd and I loved him. I miss his wit and insight. Although George and I shared atheism, he will live on in my heart for as long as I live. He was a good man and a good friend who kept track of my highs and lows and was always there to cheer me in the low times with a story or a joke. I regret not having met him in person but I feel we couldn't have been much closer even if he'd lived next door. I always felt accepted and loved by George.</p>

<p>I remember George.</p>
<p>I enjoyed observing him from the sidelines because dealing directly with him was a little too intense for me.</p>
<p>We eventually became "friends" over some long-forgotten issue.</p>
<p>A couple of times I found myself "de-friended" for reasons unknown, but when I requested to be reinstated, it always happened.</p>

<p>I later learned that was just George's way of seeing whether I/we were paying enough attention (to him). Others had the same experience, or so they reported to me.</p>
<p>When George passed away, we were no longer friends. It turned out there was going to be no reinstatement this time.</p>
<p>I regret that life was too short. I am grateful that we had been friends.</p>
<p>George was definitely a character. What I also regret is that when people leave TBD and delete their profiles, all of their conversations go away. I am grateful that some more technologically savvy than I am have backed up some of these conversations. My memories of them couldn't possibly be as lurid as they really were. I have a tendency to not see the juicy bits when they are happening. I have mixed feelings about that.</p>
<p>I only have the best memories of George.</p> tag:teebeedee.ning.com,2012-03-18:1991841:Comment:13623702012-03-18T13:36:17.422ZEddieDingohttp://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/EddieDingo

<p>George was a good friend to me. He was the first person to speak to me on TBD. He challenged the way I thought about life, and the back and forth banter could get heated at times. Then he would turn around and be sweet. I tell ya, sometimes my head was spinning. I can honestly say I am the better for having those conversations with him.</p>
<p>Remember all those pictures he shared with us of his England, and some of the people who were dear to him? Those pictures were just beautiful! I wish…</p>

<p>Remember all those pictures he shared with us of his England, and some of the people who were dear to him? Those pictures were just beautiful! I wish I had saved them.</p>
<p>George "fixed" my way of thinking; it needed fixing. He shared some of his childhood miseries, and why he was passionate about certain areas of life. Turns out we had a lot in common, and explained so much. He cared. Sometimes it was hard to see because he could be sharp tongued, but the longer I knew him the more I realized that was just the way he spoke to everyone about anything at all.</p>
<p>I'll never forget that after he left, and didn't a lot of us, and when he came back as "someone else" he kept posting comments to me. Finally he posted "Joella, don't you know me? I'm Britscot!" Good, funny stuff. I posted a welcome back cartoon video of Monkey Man.</p>
<p>I miss him so much. I hope his wife, his family and friends are all doing well and good.</p> I remember a lot about George…tag:teebeedee.ning.com,2012-03-14:1991841:Comment:13619602012-03-14T16:07:23.998ZTeeBubbaDeehttp://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/TeeBubbaDee
<p>I remember a lot about George, but what stands out in my mind was his irreverent wit. The word rascal comes to mind. </p>
