Julia,
I met you a long time ago. Don’t know if you can remember this but it was at a Walmart. There was a challenged young man in the electronics department. Anyways this mentally challenged young man was trying to buy a video game and he didn’t have enough money to get it. Well, you and I looked at each other and we both at the same time dug into our money and helped this young man that didn’t understand that he could not buy the game. We both helped out and bought the game for him. We both walked off with a big-hearted smile and a few minutes later we ran into each other still with that fuzzy warm feeling from helping that young man. And with a big smile still going we looked at each other and said at the same time that was very nice of you to help that young man out and we gave each other a great big-hearted hug. And we said God bless you. I’ll never forget that. And I’ll say it again today God bless you, my friend. He blessed me the day we became friends…Be safe…I’ll never forget that time in Walmart lol…
Julia, I so enjoy your newscasts. Your delivery is excellent. You speak clearly and distinctly and are pleasant. Plus, you remind me of one of my daughters ❤
I think Julia has had some “facial enhancements”. Anything to report on that??
If I met you before you where married, I would not be able to leave you alone. You are such a beautiful lady. You seem to be a fun loving person, and loves to help others, someone I would truly like to be with. Oh well, I’m sure you have a very happy life and you deserve that. Thanks for you excellent work on TV. Have a nice day Julia.
Julia seems to be tripping over her words on the news reporting. Very uncomfortable to watch.
