I had three heart attacks in one day and died on the operating table. What was important to me the day before this happened, certainly wasn't the same as the day AFTER it happened... my little grandaughter running to me for a hug was no longer an interuption, the wife wanting to get up at 3am and go for a ride in the moonlight was no longer a problem, and a lot of other of life's little upsets were upsetting no more... I have learned to fill each day to the brim with all of the fun I can, because "if it's to be, it's up to me!"
I believe that is why it is so important to tell someone you love, that you love them, everyday... everyone needs their "love" pills everyday!!! And that makes you the doctor...
I think you will enjoy this site and many of the members that are here... This is, without a doubt the best site I've ever found. Lots of very nice, intelligent and clever people, provocative conversation, people with good hearts, it's all here. Sure, you'll find some yo-yos too, but that is just another part of life. Don't let anyone force you to do anything you don't want to do, but for my two cent's worth I would say jump in and get your feet wet... you just might have the time of your life, what have you got to lose?
Thank you my friends, I so appreciate your comments. The one thing that I learned from all of this is to share thoughts and experiences, because you never know who you might help. Your insightful remarks and shared experiences are always a comfort and a kindness for me. Once again, thank-you...
Now ladies, stay just the way you are... I love you just the way you are! I can not imagine having a man treat me the same way that my "love bug" did last night! Whooo-Hoooo...
rowdy, esq. viking lover of all you wonderful ladies!
thank-you Jarno, for taking the time. And thank-you also for the quotes on your blog. It is truly amazing what one little sentence can do for your day...
Jim, thank you so much for a well thought out article this morning. I can't begin to tell you how much this hit home with me at this particular time. I happen to be at a crossroads once again in my life, and this blog just "hit the spot" with me. I am going to snag those quotes for my own personal quote book as well. Once again, thanks.
Marshmellow, thank-you... Parti, you old lover of the ladies, thank you also. Isn't it strange how few people that read these blogs were touched enough to respond? That is why I find I treasure the friends that do, as so special. Once again, thanks to all of you and have a wonderful Easter...
My first date car was a 1928 Model A Ford roadster pick-up that was used a volunteer fire truck. I went for a ride with the minister's daughter... Man I miss that truck and that girl!!! Boy did we start a fire... woo hoo....
James, when you become a real father, your children are your business... and you as their father need to realize your job is never over until you breathe your last breath. That is what real love is all about... your lives become hopelessly intertwined... it is a love/hate relationship from birth until death. Especially between fathers and sons, mothers and daughters... and I wouldn't trade it for all the world...
choco, thank you for this wonderful story. I have just been reflecting on this very thing in my own life. How very timely. Too many times we say to ourselves we will do it differently next time, but next time is just a repitition of the last time... and we never change things at all. Once again, thanks...
I really wonder what "God" thinks of all of this ranting and raving??? I like to listen to that "still, small voice" of His Holy Spirit... anyone else ever hear it? It's very hard to listen and yell at the same time...

Putterman, I have got just the gal for you! She wears boots and spurs in the bedroom and uses a black snake whip to start you engine... you may not want to meet her, but she definetly wants a piece of you... and it ain't gonna be pretty I'm gonna send her an e-mail and tell her all about you...
For me it boils down to one of two things, because there are only two kinds of people, givers and takers. I'll choose the giver every time. Looks will only take a relationship so far, I married a super model once. I am interested in what is on the inside, the heart and mind, that is what determines the personality. This is what is defined as charm. Without it you might just as well be married to your local "lounge lizard".
Okay, now wait a minute, this is way too complicated! If I had to remember this much stuff to get through the day alive, I would be a dead turtle... How about just treat each other with love and respect? I think that about covers the whole list? What do you think, little lady?
maxmate, Exactly! I so agree, those feelings of getting something done, are what living is all about. Thank-you friends for the input, believe me when I tell you, these kind words make my day!
Now this is the advantage of having and outdoor "privy", plenty of light, except at night, (when it is blacker than a well-diggers wallet") blue sky, birds singing, wind, rain, snow...
