    Happy Birthday Tree!!
    I've left you a present over you know where :smiley:

    why do they call you Tree? :confounded:
    It's a really dumb story.. But my sisters and I
    We're a cleaning our huge house one day.. We hadn't moved out yet.. We were like 17, 15, and 12.. So one sister yells to me from across the house and two floors down.. And from the third floor toilet, all I heard was Treeeeeee. For some reason the 'SA' part I couldn't hear.. And it just stuck.. So Theresa became Tree.

    I always wondered about that too! Glad to know.
    It's funny how nicknames get started.

    I figured you either a) were tall or b) liked to smoke tree.

    That's cool. Most
    Theresa(s) go by Terry. And I HATE that nickname. So Tree fits perfectly..

    Yeah, that lady is a trip in real
    Life! But she's very sweet! She and her family stayed at the Marriott where I worked in KC.

    And here I thought it really was your name. I knew a lady whose name was Tree...her parents were hippies.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I rarely go over to AMT but I did awhile back and found a thread you got locked.
    Loosely translated-this is how I picture it in my head- if you saw a burning house you would dropkick a f***er to get to his kitty.
    May you have a few more good days, before the bottom drops. :wink:
    The worst of times..they don't phase me,
    even if I look and act really crazy.
