druidess6308: Thank you...and I'm sure if I look in the box of spare equipment I never hooked up, I have the mic and headphones, too. It would be nice to talk with some of my overseas friends with this!

And I'm glad you get to see him again Thursday.



It is a great way to have contact.

Me too, Dru, I am gonna kill him.

Sommerauer71: Skype is great, you can have an account, which I do for Europe, it is cheap and I make all my long distance calls this way.

Skype to Skype is free.

You need headphones and a mic, yes.

You should have two holes (no smutty responses here) for two plugs, one for the mic and the headphones.

Download it and you are set to go, you have a log in and password, it is easy.

I will, he is asleep, but I am there on Thursday.



What do you mean, no smutty responses? You leave an opening like that and expect us to behave ourselves? Okay, okay I'm sitting on my hands. Hand, stop doing that. Oooo, Oooo. I'll be back. Ooo, Ooo...........

Don't kill him! Nooooo...rolling on the floor laughing

I would hope that instead, the two of you will torture each other, and then relieve the torture. wink

Oh if only you know what I have to put up with?

Oh of course you have seen some of it, I get it tenfold.

But then, as always there was always a degree of sense underneath it all.

If he draws on my buttock again, I am shaving off his eyebrows when he is asleep and then drawing on his head, he is bald, at the back of it.

He will not be able to see it when he looks in the mirror.

Oh the things I could write on there.

What a nice thread and so encouraging to those who seek and find someone not in their immediate area.

Hey Sommer...I think I still have Skype. I used to speak to a friend in Australia and some in Canada, but the connections were often not good.

Be safe in your travels this week.

Mike...very nice thread and thank you for showing what can be done if thought out.

Good thread Mike.

I used to hand write letters or little notes on certain days and my gf at the time would write her letters or notes on opposite days. That way you had the anticipation of receiving something in mail besides bills.

I have done the scented clothing or blanket, it does work.

I would leave emails with my favorite songs attached to it, so she could download and listen and think about me.

I also leave notes on ym, just so she knows I am thinking of her.

I have done other stuff in the past, but this is all I can think of at the moment.

I wish you a bright future Mike.

cheers

Hi V.

Skype is much better now, a great way of keeping in touch.

I will and thank you.
And it can be done, for all those cynics who think it does not work.

mike69spain: Just wanted to drop a few examples how we do it...

Morning - I wake up, kill the alarm and call one short "beep" on her mobile to show I am up, I have my coffee and I read the net news.

When she wakes up she do something similar, or did already since she is in another time zone ahead of me.

When I have my thoughts in order I give her a short call and tell her I still thinks she should have slept at my place instead. She normally agrees, but sometimes she need me to convince her that would actually be a better choice than her very cosy bed. A call of no more than 5 minutes and we quickly present each others plans for the day.

Siesta / afternoon - I send a text, from a simple love message to something more substantial depending on thoughts, questions and events. If she have a reply it will come, if not there will be a short beep back to acknowledge the message. If there was a question she will instead call back twice for a Yes, one for a No.

(A call back three times it means "call me as soon as you can".)

Evening - we log in to our messengers and use that to recapitulate the day, gossip and send images of things we seen and wanted to show. This can be everything from 10 minutes to the rest of the evening depending on things like work,going out with friends, TV or other things.

Often we end with calling and wishing good night, but even so, she will tuck in before me and I will call another short "beep" when I put my lights out.

Now, we have kept each other in our daily life all day, and all we missed was the physical side of the relation.

Long calls cost money, and high bills tends to be a stress for many. The system with beeps (one short for "got it" or NO!, two short separate for "YES!" and three for a call back) works really good.

If I simply call in the middle of the day in between all it means "I am thinking of you" and she will return it when she find out if she is not available at the moment.

We keep in touch, we keep each other a jour of events and we miss very little in spite of the distance.

Long distance can work out just fine, if you find ways of cutting the distance and the time spent away from her/him.



Hey Mike...they can and will work as long as both people are just as committed to it as you two are...Glad to see you found a good routine that works for you both and allows you to share your daily lives almost as if you were right there together...wave hug kiss kiss hug hug heart beating

I think its great that you both found someone to share your love with but i think that #1 at this point is to figure out a way to bring your lives togather, where are u going to live so you can reep the benefits OF being togather ! The longer this goes on, two can grow apart , just as well as gro togather, in other words it gets old being by yourself when you find love, so as two people arrange and plan for a wedding , i think you need to come up with an immedeate plan to make it happen , or sorry to think it may not work this way forever !confused FOR ME: THIS is what i would HAVE TO DO!!! ASAP Make your plan with conversing comunication. Hope this opinion helpsthumbs up

it goes to show that love in a long distance relationship or any relationship is not complicated, only those people who makes it complicated.if two people are willing to work it out there is always a way.keep up the good work.its such an inspiration.

Turkish

That is wonderful news, I am four months into it now, so we have a way to go.

It can work and you, KMD, Kansan, and others have proved it can, it takes alot of patience, love and trust, but then I would want that in any relationship.

The very best to you and your man...
