Now, I didn't know that. I...John is your son? Now, I didn't know that. I've been here almost 3 years and really love the place. I loved the balls and picking out dresses and shoes online to "wear." The last one was in 2006. Jackie/Hope Floats and I were the committee in the end. It wasn't so much fighting among the committee but many in Jland got very ugly stating that Jackie and I were rigging votes, etc. Many wonderful people whose journals were nominated got hurt very badly by others. Jealously reared its head badly. There weren't any Vivi awards last year. I will never be involved in handling them again although I did think it was a nice concept. Jackie took the brunt of criticism. I doubt if they could find anyone to run them and count the votes ever again. It's a shame. But I still celebrate this place every day!
