And another one gone.
You know you are getting old when almost everyone you knew while you were in high school is dead.
I dated my HS sweetheart from age 14 tilll I was almost 21. We got along real good. Her name was Frances. We talked about marriage after she got her own place, and although we didn't do that, neither one of us was terrified of the idea and if things had gone a little different who knows. Anyway after I joined the Army she got jealous of that and joined the US Air Force and became an electronics technician for the fighters and bombers. I visited her at Nellis back in 75 and we had a stupid argument over her dating someone else and sadly we broke up. We went on with our lives and in 77 her brother told me she had married the same guy. Oh well. Later on I got married to someone too.
When my future wife and I got engaged she put all my old papers from the 80s and 70s in boxes and when we moved from her house to mine she stuffed the boxes in the attic here. She died over a decade ago (blood cancer) and I didn't bother the boxes that held both her old stuff and mine. Until yesterday. I decided to take a look at them and while going through one, along with a bunch of stuff I hadn't seen in decades I found about 20 pictures of Frances and me.
I decided she might like to have some pictures of herself as a teenager and youngster so I dusted off my PC to track her down online. Should be easy I thought. I knew her birthday and even had her Social Security Number because with the photos was the paper she had written it down on in case she lost the card they gave her the day we went to the Social Security Office and they gave her her card. Well I was right. I found her.
My HS sweetheart died in the first Covid wave on April 21, 2020 in the hospital in Joliet, IL. She was one of about 30 who died there that month.She was still married to the same man. I tried reaching out to her brother or sister but I find no trace of them online after 1980. So I will mail my condolences to her husband (I found their address and phone of course) along with some photos of his wife he may wish to have. If they had children (which I couldn't really tell online) maybe they might like to see their mom when she is young.
I will always miss you Frances. I wish I had looked in the box a few years ago and had time to get the photos to you while you were still alive. I was an a** and you were the best.
Around Spring 1974 in her place
Winter 73 Getting ready to do a little painting
Home from airman Basic training at Rantoul AFB early 1975 soon to go off to Las Vegas and Nellis AFB for specialty training. I was so proud for her.
Miss you Franny. Hope there is an afterlife and we will meet again.

where does the line become blurred between loving and controlling
Let's say for example, somebody falls in love with a person who smokes cigarettes.
However, the person who fell in love with the smoker does not like the fact that they smoke.
On the other hand, the smoker likes to smoke and does not want to quit.
But, the person who fell in love with them will not give up on the encouragement that they quit smoking.
Therefore my question....where does the line become blurred between love and controlling?
Of course...smoking is only one example...
It could be,
eating habits
friends one hangs out with
seeing family members
money spending habits
driving behavior
...the list goes on
"encouraging" was a moderate and somewhat innocent word to use...of course everyone's interpretation of that encouragement might be different...that includes receiving that "encouragement" and administering it. One could interpret encouragement as just that...encouragement. Whereas, another may interpret that same "encouragement" as nagging, complaining, or even threatening. It boils down to how one interprets it.

Perfect Date
My idea of a perfect Christmas
Is to spend it with you
In a party
Or dinner for two
Anywhere would do
Celebrating the yuletide season
Always lights up our lives
Simple pleasures are made special too
When they're shared with you

Art of War
Can we use Art of War for love and relationship? Recently I have studied it as Art of War is common sense in our culture. I have never really looking into it. It is fun reading. I don't understand why in the past people like to have wars. Men and Women are also like Art of War. When a man and woman met, what are the chance they could fall in love? In the past, I have never hidden who I am or how I feel. I thought the world would be like before I was single. Now I not only burn my brain for my work but also need to more energy in the world today. Men are like hunter in the past if I have my photo shown on profile, I will have lots of hunters going after me. Hidden what I am is part of Art of War. Only someone like "The sound of desert" could touch my heart. I have not met anyone can touch my heart yet. I wonder if I have no longer feel or just I am tired of the world full of lairs and players that on and off in my life. Coming back the unknown world and I am not sure if I ever meet that person again. I am really tired so maybe study Art of War would be the best time for me. Let the war begin.
What are we looking for
Sometimes we thought we knew what we want. I heard other widows that maybe the first year they wanted to try new relationship. As time goes by, they no longer feel needed. I am not sure as for me mixed with western and eastern culture. Somehow I feel like I want to have someone to protect me like my husband. Since he is gone, I have learned to be independent again. I asked myself what I am looking. A millionaire as financial security or a good looking guy as wealthy somehow those are all materialist. How about spiritual? Someone told me that I am a challenger, it seems like men and women need to start with that chasing games. As 2 billions people in the world if using math, everyone should be able to find someone. Somehow the new world the chasing game has changed so much. We may need to wait for one month to find out if the other side of screen is real or even longer. It is unknown investment. Is it worthy? The sound of desert and what do I really want?

When your lover/fiancée/wife finds out you did a background check on her...
I saw a story tonight where a couple were on vacation. He went off with family and she stayed behind. He allowed her to borrow his laptop because she didn't bring hers on the trip. She decided to create a folder with her name only to find one already there. Going through the folder she realizes he did background checks on her and her family prior to their marriage. When confronting him about it (in front of his family) he didn't think it was a big deal.
"She was horrified to find out just how extensive the background check was."
Angry, hurt she refused to discuss it in private and spent that night in a hotel. They cut the vacation short.
The woman posted an anonymous thread on the site called Reddit to get responses.
While some thought it was okay others thought it went into the 'creepy zone' that he also investigated her family. Some agreed she was right to be upset.
The story was picked up on Yahoo and some of the comments were all too real.
Typically 180 degrees of each other:
1) I support background checks. My friend's mom experienced domestic violence with her ex. She called the cops and went through the legal system. All to find out he had MULTIPLE arrests for domestic violence in the past. You can never be too careful.
2) In this present time, if I was getting interested in a woman, I would do a background check on her. You'll never know if there is something to be worried about unless you do it.
3) The wife was "hurt about the background check" and then "angry because she found out things about her family and friends that she never even knew."
4) (It would) be a little late to do a background AFTER the wedding.
5) Good job to the husband!!! All men should do the same before getting in bed with anyone.
6) The companies that provide these services regularly run ads: "check out the guy BEFORE you date him" and...women always check their husbands phones out....while very few men check out their wives phones (and if they did...oh MY GAWD...there'd be hell to pay).
7) He checked you out before you two got married. Chill woman.
8) People do that these days. Not surprising.
9) He did extensive background checks, then kept the files in his system! I wouldn’t want to stay around with someone who did that kind of thing.
My opinion is the writer was anonymous, therefore the story didn't give enough information about how or where they met or his financial status that would justify his actions. Not that what he did was wrong. However, his indiscretion for leaving that data on his laptop (and not in a secure/hidden folder) was short-sighted.
It wouldn't surprise me if that was enough for the woman to become alienated and head for a divorce.

Missing You
I miss you!
There is something that reminds me of you everywhere I go. The grocery shop parking lot where you used to pick me up. The curb where you hit your bumper at. The right turn that leads to your area. Our favorite restaurant. Alfredo pasta that you used to cook for me, the watch that you insisted to pay for as a gift for the holidays. The night stand that you chose carefully to make sure it was in my taste. The earphones that you got me because I broke mine. It was colored pink because I asked you to pick a fun color. The netflix series that I made you watch. Your favorite basketball player whose name I could never pronounce. Everytime I go out, I hoped to run into you.
To me you were perfect. Your eyes were the perfect shade of brown, your curled lashes that hit your glasses. The perfect arch of your eyebrows. Your lips were the perfect shade of red. And your perfect nose! You were everything I ever wanted and hoped for. I thought if I could make you love me, that would be the best thing in the world.
But since it didn’t work, i just miss you! I miss you. It hurts when I think that someday you’d marry someone else. And she will have all of your love and affection. It hurts badly. But I have to settle on the fact that it is over between us. And take comfort that you once were mine.
Goodbye.
