Cyber-friends

All you hear about on the Web these days is internet predators. And, understandably so, because I read about guys that prey on teenage girls all the time. That's a pretty disturbing trend, and hopefully something is done about it.
But, I'm here to tell you that you can meet some good people on the internet, too. I've made several good friends on here. 3 in particular stand out, 2 that I've met and spent time with and 1 I haven't.
First, there's Sharon, a fellow Falcons and NASCAR fan. I met her back in July '02 in Daytona. She's a Falcons season ticket holder and I've sat with her at the Georgia Dome for 1 game a year. Talk about a die-hard Falcons fan. And, she's one of the most caring and giving people I've ever met. Among the things she's done for me: gotten me autographs of Michael Vick and Dominique Wilkins and pre-game field passes before the game in '04. I'm proud to call her one of my dearest friends. And, except for my Mom, nobody gives a better hug!!
Then, there's Tina, another loyal Falcons fan. I met her in '03 up at the Dome and we've been good friends ever since. She's always asking about my Dad, because of his declining health. What I love about her: she's 5'11" and has the body of a goddess! She's engaged, so we'll never go on a date, but I value her friendship.
Last, but not least, there's Staci, a fellow NASCAR and Jeff Gordon fan. We've never met, and I'm not sure if we'll get the chance, but I always enjoy swapping PM's with her, especially after Jeff wins a race. And, she actually puts up with my harmless flirting, despite being happily married for 12 or 13 years. From what I know about her, she's a great gal, and I hope we can stay in touch.
So, here's 3 shining examples that you can meet good people on the 'net. And I'm proud to know all of them.
