My Friendship Ball - by Robert Swetz

  My friendship ball is quite different than others because I am different. Most of the time when you post a blog on the friendship ball it is about 2-3 friends. If I have forgotten some one please forgive me, I do apologize. And remember these friends of mine are not in order.

 

 Rich JacobsonRich Jacobson is one of my friends through The Rain. We have had a few comments and emails go between us that were quite different. Rich has been very helpful with any of my questions that I may have at AR and meeting him two weeks ago in Las Vegas was a thrill. Rich is what makes The Rain go round and is a asset to the community at The Rain!

Ron Gillis Ron Gillis is another very helpful AR member that has helped me with so much when Rich and Brad are to busy with all the other members. I have spoken to Ron many times over the phone and have a couple of group connections with him. Ron is a knowledgeable person and asset to The Rain. Ron is also a moderator for the group: LATE NIGHT - EARLY MORNING AT ACTIVE RAIN

Karen Monsour  Karen Monsour is a great writer and blogs for at least 6 of my different groups. She is a wonderful helpful lady and I really like reading her blogs and hearing what she has to say. Karen is not the type to back down and express her point of view. Karen has some great comments on my blogs and is a great asset to The Rain !

Teresa Harris  Teresa Harris is a very dear friend of mine and is also a moderator for the group: LATE NIGHT - EARLY MORNING AT ACTIVE RAIN. She has come to me with some great ideas and help me for one of my main groups and is an administrator, I am not even sure she knows it. Teresa leaves me very wonderful comments and I really like her being around. Great asset to The Rain.

C Tann-Starr  C Tann - Starr is a very dear friend when I first joined The Rain and has come around when least expected to help me when I didn't even ask. She is a the founder of a very big wonderful group  CLUB CHAOS which I post many of my blogs to. C's comments are wonderful and she is a very good photographer and loves eye candy. C is a very big asset to The Rain and I really enjoy having her around.

Laura Watts  Laura Watts is a very interesting young lady and is a major part of one of my groups PARANORMAL EXPERIENCES AT ACTIVE RAIN. She is full of stories and very good ones at that and I really like when she comes around and comments to my blogs. She seems like a very warm hearted person and I wouldn't want anything to change about her. Laura is a wonderful asset to The Rain!

Sherry Scales   Sherry Scales is a wonderful young lady with a sense of humor, she is so funny. Her comments and quick witted comments and some of her blogs crack me up. And the later the better, if you can get a hold of Sherry when she's commenting late at night, watch out. I love her comments and when she comes around. She is a big part of many of my groups and a wonderful asset to The Rain.

Bob Cumiskey   Bob Cumiskey has been there for me from the beginning of my venture into The Rain. When I first started posting blogs and attaching photos Bob would always come around and comment. His comments are very nice and uplifting. Bob is a great person to know and have around. He is a great asset to The Rain and we need more like this guy around.

Sharon Young  Sharon Young is such a sweetheart and has some great ideas of her own. She helped me form a group called CLOUDS AT ACTIVE RAIN (photos attached). What a wonderful idea and she just threw it out There one day and Bing, bang, boom. She is a moderator/ administrator of the group and Sharon is a wonderful person within The Rain. She is a asset and comes around and comments with great words and warm feelings.

Chastity Guevara   Chastity Guevara is quite new to The Rain and already has (Two) gold stars from the AR Gods. She is a very talented writer and a wonderful human being. Her blogs are great and her comments are even better. I really like when Chastity comes around and makes comments, they are so real, kind and from the heart. She is a great asset to The Rain and I wouldn't change a thing about her.

Jason Crouch   Jason Crouch is the man of the hour! Jason is a great blogger and is a very big part of many (huge groups) and the AR community. He is a legend and I try to study his blogs, comments and many things about him. Jason is a very interesting individual and I have never even met him. Huge asset to The Rain and a very good person to learn about the network from.

Susie Blackmon   Susie Blackmon is a very talented photographer and very dear friend. She's very funny and I really enjoy when she comes around and gives her comment's. Susie has some great blogs with photos attached of course and the two of us have a lot in common. We both love photography. Susie is a asset to The Rain and one of a kind.

Michael Thornton   Michael Thornton  has been around when I first joined The Rain. He is a very good photographer and started a very great new group. Michael has always been around when I've needed him and I really enjoy reading his comments. Michael is a great asset to The Rain and I like everything about him.

Elizabeth Nieves   Elizabeth Nieves is a power blogger and has some blogs out there that are the best. Elizabeth & Jason are two of my most studied members. She has so many gold stars she can't even keep track of how many. Elizabeth is a very wonderful person and will stand her ground to express her point of view. I feel like I have known Elizabeth for a very long time and it has only been a short time. I really like when she comes around with her wonderful comments. Elizabeth is a huge asset to The Rain.

Pam Jank  Pam Jank is a very, very good blogger and I have only known her for a short time. Her comments are wonderful and I really enjoy when she comes around. I really enjoy reading her blogs and I love the State she lives in, Idaho. I do need to help to make her photo larger for her profile page. Pam is a newer member but already has some gold stars under her belt. Pam is a asset to The Rain and I really like knowing her.

Kathy McGraw  Kathy McGraw is another great photographer and great Blogger. She has been around AR for quite some time and I really enjoy reading her blogs. She has some wonderful comments and helps to uplift members when their feeling a little under the weather. Kathy is a huge asset to The Rain and it is a pleasure knowing her.

Roxanne Schilling

Roxanne Schilling  is one of my buds at AR and she likes to fish, believe it or not. We have commented on fishing through one of our blogs and this lady knows her business. I could not forget to have Roxanne as one of my friends in the friendship ball because she is a wonderful person and a geat asset and friend at The Rain.

Chris Fisher  Chris Fisher is a very big part of many of my groups. She comes around when she feels the need, but when she does it's wonderful. I really like Chris and she has some very warm and wonderful comments to my blogs. Chris is a great asset to The Rain and is a wonderful person to know. I wouldn't change a thing about

 Roy Peterson 

Roy Peterson is a newer member but always comes around with some great comments. He has a great sense of humor and is a huge part of many of my groups. He is also a moderator/ administrator for one of my main groups. Roy is a huge asset to The Rain and I wouldn't change a thing about him.

 These people on this blog are all very close AR friends and if you know them to you will understand why. I really like them all and am very proud to be their friends at The Rain.

 There are many more, but this blog was only suppose to have 2-3 members on it, I cheated, sorry!

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho - City by the LakeRobert, Oh my... Thank you so much for including me with such a great group of AR's.  I hardly feel I deserve it.  You are the special one!  I do know what you mean about the "3" thing.  I would also have a very hard time narrowing it down to 3 when there are so many wonderful friends here on AR!  Some of those on your list have been there for me also! Others that I don't know, I am going to make a point of reviewing their Blogs, commenting and getting to know them.  Thanks for everything..... AGAIN

Wow Robert you put the rest of us to shame...you know the ones of us that only listed 2 people LOL :)  But then again like you said you do your own thing, and have been doing it since you got here :) :)  I don't think you need to copy anyone else's style just be yourself.......that's more than good enough for us.    Like Elizabeth said you have some list here, and thanks for including me....

we will have to go shoot some photos up in the hills of Vegas one of these days soon.  My son lives there :)
