I DON’T KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED BUT I FELL IN LOVE ON-LINE.


I’ve never been to a social network site before so it has been an odd experience for me. I came to GHS for information. I googled Haynesville Shale and this was one of the things that came up. I read it and everything else I could find. I was and am completely fascinated. I just can’t learn enough.

I came to the sight with some background knowledge. I’ve leased before and thought when I leased this time it was just more of the same. I couldn’t wait to start getting my “mail box money”. I did my due diligence before I leased, but later found out that I was misled. I tried not to cry over spilled milk. I tried to not get upset over the fraudulent statements that were made to myself and my neighbors. It’s only business is what I thought. (And I could have made millions).

But the more that I read the more upset that I got. The people who were being hurt weren’t lazy or helpless. These were people who were taking care of their business in a business type manner. So many were lied to with the same song and dance. It is just too much to not see that the music was orchestrated by the companies. Of course they washed their hands and put on pretty ads.

As soon as I understood the significance of what Haynesville Shale actually is, I began to see it as a “blessing” for our community. I STILL SINCERELY BELIEVE THAT.

I’ve learned so many things on GHS that I feel like I have at least earned a BS degree (pun intended) in all of the time that I have spent on the site.

But along the way some other things happened. I met someone wonderful. I FELL IN LOVE. Do you want to know “who”? You may be completely surprised. I sure was. Isn’t only weirdoes that fall in love on the net? No, I am not a weirdo.

I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU.

I fell in love with this family. This family who can fight and who can make up and who support and love each other. I fell in love with so many as we share our joys and our heartbreaks.

Can I ever again feel like “it’s just business”? NO.

But I can feel a deep heartfelt appreciation for Keith for starting this website and for so many who share their information and experiences on here. YOU ARE TRULY THE BEST BLESSING THAT HAYNESVILLE SHALE HAS BROUGHT INTO MY LIFE!

I LOVE YOU ALL. (Even Ruston - Bless his soul). I love the companies because in the long run they really will bless our community and maybe even the whole country.

I feel like you folks are my family. I love you like you are.

I hope that each of you are as completely blessed by GHS as I have been.

Parker:

Wonderful first blog. I hope your thoughts set the tone for all discussions on this forum in 2009.

Personal aside, though: I guess I'm a weirdo. I met my wife (from Bossier!) chatting on the internet. I did fall in love with her in person, however.

Keith never had a clue about the impact he was about to make on the lives of nearly 10,000 people, did he? You are right Parker. We are a family.......a very disfunctional family, but a family in every sense of the word. We have adopted each other, warts and all. It's been said that you can pick your nose but you can't pick your family! I humbly beg to disagree.
Just like family members do, we can disagree and still enjoy each other's company and opinions. Our new "cousin" Ruston told us, "Opinons are like b'holes, everybody's got one". No truer words have ever been said about all of us. Some of us have had some bad times during the leasing frenzy. Many got on board just at the right time, many of us chose to sit it out for now. Some of us will never get on board. That is what makes all of us different but yet, FAMILY. While we don't share the same blood or DNA, we share the same desires of life.............to live, laugh, love and be good stewards of what the Good and Mighty Lord has entrusted to us. I have told many of you time and time again, if I never see one red dime from this crazy thing we call Haynesville Shale, I will consider my self a billionaire for having met you. Money cannot and never will buy morals, class, taste, ethics, trust, common sense nor friends. You guys are like the Mastercard commercials to me...................PRICELESS.
