JonnieZ Posted August 4, 2016 Report Posted August 4, 2016 Good evening, I am Jon ( Hi Jon), I will start with, I am a flawed human being. But hey, who is not? I like to eat beef, swim, lift weights ( Soloflex actually), read, watch a ball game, use my space binoculars at midnight, play with my German Sheperd, listen to The Who, Boston and Beethoven. I am actually coming out of a two year funk which turned me, almost, into a shut in. I had a grandfather until I was almost 50. He died, I do not think I had ever experienced grief before, but I have now. I was his boy, he was my pal. I have a BA in History from real BYU. As Carl Sagan wrote: The world needs fewer business majors and more history majors. (The Demon Haunted World) I have a wonderful wife, and all girls. They are fantastic. Oh, and a Shetland sized GSD. You all have a great day! NeedleinA and zil 2 Quote

SilentOne Posted August 4, 2016 Report Posted August 4, 2016 Hi, Jon! It's nice to have you; I've enjoyed reading your posts so far. 7 hours ago, MormonGator said: Great dog taste man.

Was it something like "(A) great dog taste(s) (a) man."? Because that's what I got the first time around, and it did not make any sense at all. mordorbund 1 Quote

You all have a great day! Where did you get the spelling "Jonnie". This was my kick name as an infant and child up to grade 7 when I changed to my given and bless name. I have never see the spelling "Jonnie" anywhere else - so I am wondering - I thought I was the only one ever. The Traveler Quote
JonnieZ Posted August 15, 2016 Author Report Posted August 15, 2016 Thank you all for posting. Jonnie is short for Jonathan. My parents, siblings, and a few friends call me Jonnie. Generally it is just Jon. Well, take care. Quote
