Sad Day Tomorrow

Hi South. I haven't met you before.

Sad Day Tomorrow

Angel, I don't have any country blocked. I just checked. I can write people in the USA or any country.

Sad Day Tomorrow

Thank you Wen, my friend.

RE: to all my friends here on blogs,

Wen, we understand about the times zones. I have had similar experiences. All we can do is try.

RE: A Day At The Movies.

Hi Cat,

You brought back memories when you said you set fire to the grass fields behind you. I had a burn barrel in my backyard. There was about 80 acres of grass behind the yard. One Sunday afternoon, I decided to burn some cardboard in the barrel. I forgot to put the screen over the top. A couple of sparks got out and set the grass on fire. I burned the 80 acres.

Needless to say, the fire dept was very unhappy with me and I got fined a couple hundred dollars! So we all learn.

RE: How was your childhood

Hi Val.

RE: How was your childhood

Hi Wen. Good blog.

I had a very happy childhood. Great parents! At an early age, my dad taught me the value of work which I never forgot. My dad also was a part time musician and taught me about music. I learned to be a singer because of him. My mom taught me about love! Truly blessed by God!

Beautiful

Thanks Cat.

RE: In a relationship, does marriage make any better?

Phyllis, it is always great to see you and read your blogs!
You are so right about the running away. I have thought back on my my marriages and have asked myself: "did I work hard enough to save them"? First one no; second one yes but my wife wanted to be a professional and I was a drag on her. So she filed.

It seems like you are seeing things a lot clearer now! Good for you!

Thanks to everyone for their comments.

RE: In a relationship, does marriage make any better?

I agree with Simmo, Ken and others of like mind. Marriage is sacred and should be a total commitment on both sides! Should never be entered into lightly! In a relationship without marriage, it is too easy to walk away from it. You see it every day.

Another thing that hasn't been mentioned here. As we grow older, we get set in our ways. So we enter a marriage or relationship thinking that the other person will change or adapt to our set ways. 99% of the time that will not happen. Consequently we end up getting divorce or leaving a relationship!

One last thing I will mention is, couples sometimes grow apart because of friends, other interests or the children are now grown so nothing to hold them in the marriage.

Just my two cents worth.

Planting Potatoes

Thanks BC You are absolutely right!

RE: A DATING SITE?DONT MAKE ME LAUGH?
