Gemini Dave's Personal Page
The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the Heart!
Make a Difference...
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile, leaving footprints on our Hearts, and we are never quite the same.
Life is too short and precious - make honesty and caring a part of your daily routine and you will make a difference!

WE started making and comparing E-Mail signatures, which I thought was a fun thing to do. I got so carried away with it that I decided to build a web site where I could save them as I made them to go along with my NFL Fan and Football page. My #1 passion??.....FOOTBALL!!. She's a
true Football Fan of the New England Patriots and I'm proud to call her MY friend. I Thank You, "K". Deservedly so, she retains the Number #1 position on my Honor Roll page.....

~MY FIRST AWARD~
I
want to especially thankWtvGoddess
aka Carolyn from HPO NG for nominating my site and personalizing this award andMandyAnn79 aka Mandy for
making it for me. This has SPECIAL meaning because it was given to me! I don't believe something is an
award that ANYBODY can receive simply by applying for and only "winning" because you agree to sign a
guestbook and put their link on your page. An AWARD is Just That! If you had to
apply for it, how can it be called an
Award?
YOU are honored when you sign my
guestbook, without any stipulations!! I believe that
if it wasn't bestowed on me then I didn't earn it, I
don't deserve it, and therefore I don't want it."
Having never won anything before, this was a complete surprise to me, I consider this my "OSCAR" and I am
truly honored and it will always be special
to me as will these two Lady Staff Members from
Homepage Opinion (HPO) Newsgroup.
~ANOTHER
ACHIEVEMENT~
I joined an internet Football Pool in 1998, after getting my webtv, simply because of my
love for the sport and the thrill of picking the
winners of each Team each week and competing with
others across the country. If I could end up in the
top 10 of my State, I would have been elated because
it was already in the 8th week of the season when I
found this Pool. I was flabbergasted at the end of
the season to find I was 27th in the country and 1ST
in my State.
I couldn't wait for the '99 season to begin even
though I knew it would be impossible to repeat my
standings because of starting in the first week and
more people in the Pool. Once you are in the pool,
they email you before the following season as a
reminder, so I knew there wouldn't be less
people.Could never be 1st in my State again, right?
WRONG!!!!! I was way out front and knew I couldn't be caught in my State.What I as concerned about was the
overall standings because they had a glitch in their
computer in week #16 that failed to record 3 of my
games. What makes this so important to me is you
don't
just pick winners. Thru the SuperBowl, you must
pick:QB, RB, WR, TE, with the most yards to earn
points.

Subject: Re: Total points
Hi Dave,
Yes, by adding the 3 points from faulty Week 16,
your official total of 285 plus 3 would make 288!
This would put you squarely in a second place finish, 2 points behind Don.
So you qualify for a $50
second place cash prize!
Congrats! Just reply back to this message stating
that you will accept this prize along with your
mailing address. You can expect to receive it in the
mail within 2 weeks.
Thanks for playing this
season and again we apologize for the mess up back in Week 16.

~MY
GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT AND HONOR~The CROWN JEWEL OF ALL AWARDS~
My greatest award, was given to me by a very special lady, on June 7, 2000.I will always remember when I received the following e-mail from Cory Danger, on her behalf, presenting it to me.
Her site was an inspiration to me, as I am sure it was, to many others. Her generosity showed with each page, along with her love of beautiful graphics and images.

Dave,
On behalf of Lady Oh, I would like to
present you with Lady Oh's Excellent Site Award.
There has only been two other sites to get this one,
so it's the rarest of her awards. She loved your
pages and kept marvelling at how great your sigs were ("they just kept getting better and better!"). She
also liked the help items you have.....a very
well-rounded site! There is no need to link it back
to us if you do not wish to. It's just her way of
thanking you for providing her (and your other
visitors) with such a terrific site.
For Lady Oh...
Take Care,
Cory
To be given an AWARD from any of your peers would be an honor. To
get the most prestigious Award on the internet, in my opinion, from
The Incomparable Lady Oh is Overwhelming!!! This is
the Ultimate Award from the most gifted Lady on the
internet, in my opinion, and will always remain a
treasure to me. To me, this is winning the SuperBowl
and Academy Award, all wrapped up in ONE! She is One
in a Million.......and so is her Site!!!
An ICON of the internet has left us this day. Many strive to reach
perfection. Lady Oh was at the pinnacle of perfection. She will always remain the "Incomparable One" to me. As the Third, and final recipient of her coveted Award, IN HER HONOR, there will NEVER be another award placed on my pages.........None, deserve to be
with hers. Rest in Peace with the other
ANGELS.
Gemini

On the following pages are
some of the E-Mail signatures I've made from my
webtv. I enjoy making them and I, for one, am proud
of myself because, good or bad, the entire site was
done trial and error by me.! I thought I would
attempt my first web page, and
I don't take credit for something unless I do it
myself.
