Hello dear--I have a few thoughts, but I want everyone to know I'm not trying to say this is "how it is" (but everyone who has gotten to know me a little on here probably recognizes that I feel I'm right, just the same, hardy har... if nothing else, I am honest about who I am..) here goes: the clandestine affair was spellbound by the nature of it's own existence. There is something exciting, heart pounding, super-stimulating, about a secret sensuous relationship. The emotional fireworks are the best mankind can experience. I had one (uh, perhaps two, but no more--I think...) of these, and , here's the clencher--when one person wants it to be different, I.e. " me or him/her, I want you here more, lets get married, etc..." the bubble is burst. I'm not blaming you, or judging you, or anything like that. Plain and simple--you called it a night by giving him a directive. He wanted the party to go on the way it was going. know what i mean, doll? Incidentally I DO care. But some affairs are what they are, and changing them changes the play field. Just being honest--
Try to think of it in terms of "there's more than meets the eye". Look, the possibility of establishing a physical friendship is really, really rare, especially with the distance, so what difference does it really make if we (whoever) are just talking. If you were blind, would it matter? If and when someone were interested in me, then I would probably send a photo, if the friendship had gotten along that far. If it doesn't, or if intimacy isn't part of the friendship, what does it matter?
this is to Venusrul: Dang, I love ya! Nobody can get the point across like you do--no need to 'splain, either. You have every right to say what's on your mind, migraine or not. Most of us would agree. Sarcasm doesn't work very well for me, so I will be blunt to the poster: Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side, keep on the sunny side of life"--the harder you work at not being bummed, the better you will be. Try it. Life is difficult for just about everybody, and if you blog, dear, you must be prepared for responses. The world will not tailor to your expectations. Ever. So learn to use tools you have, worn and broken as they may be. AND, take good advice when it is given. Heads up--nobody likes a sad sack. Not even other sad sacks. Wise up, learn to live.
You do not understand the equal rights movement. It is not just about ethnic issues. Check out N.O.W., Ms., for starters. Women are not settling for being seen and/or treated as being inferior or subservient to men. It has been a long struggle. They don't want to be Ma Walton. They don't agree that the man should be the "head of the household". They are saying "no". Got it? And if they don't feel like getting married and having kids, it's nobody's business. It's their life, not yours, or anyone else's. I'm so adamant about how I feel I think the Declaration of Independence should have one change in it's wording: Instead of saying, "all men are created equal", it should rather say, "all persons are created equal". ("The rising of the women is the rising of the race"--'Bread and Roses').
So much energy and not enough energy to use it. All systems are trying and vying for action. Mind is racing. Sometimes hospitalization is indicated with de-escalating medication. (This is what I believe this is--I could be wrong or misguided).
I once heard that "Love knows no age", and generally thought this meant that one couldn't be too old for love. It could also mean that a difference in age wouldn't make that much of a difference if the two parties loved each other. I don't know what would be best for any one individual, but if a forty-eight year old woman and a twenty-seven year old man were in love, and neither minded the ages, then , go for it. Love is so wonderful it would be rather mean to put a lot of ifs, ands, or buts into it. (although some are valid...) best to you.
Here was some Medieval Physician's advice: (some docs still swear by it--)
A Royal Diet
"At sunrise eat ye like King At Meridian, do as ye Prince But at dusk eat as ye pauper".
have you heard this--20 minutes before a meal, drink 10-12 oz. water. (there must be time between drinking the water and eating). It is not usually recommended to drink DURING the meal, as this makes you think you're not full. Chew thoroughly and eat slowly. (I weighed 247 lbs, now am at about 180. If I can do it, anybody can. I'm your original pizza, omelette, patty melt, club sandwich, waffles and syrup guy). You will do it. You are beautiful.
First of all--I love "Love". and so on.. There are so many ideals about this wonderful intangible but yet so very real thing caled love. "Love endures all things". (notice it does not say "some". it says "all".) "Love knows not its depth until the hour of separation". (Boy Howdy!) "A friend who loves you knows the verses in your heart, then sings them to you when you have forgotten". (sweet). "Love is always young". (this one I really love. "Two hearts beating as one".
Nippon or Canon. You shouldn't need to spend more than 250.00 for a very good one. some good advice: Get new. a used camera is like a used car. for sale for a reason. Good Luck.
Everyone makes mistakes- and the other writers are right that it does take some guts to admit it. (it's a human frailty to have a difficult time saying "I beg your pardon. I was inconsiderate" or whatever the case might be). You have strength of character and this was good influence for all. (easy there, Bud! )
Ditto, Jayjay. Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Lad. (When I was a kid it was my favorite Holiday). You are right. It is about caring for others. Thank you for this post.
Your profile is fairly good, Bud, and you're fit, handsome. It does take awhile, and six or seven days isn't that long. When we want something, it's hard to be patient, though. Hang in there. You seem like a nice, cool guy. There's a really neat lady out there for you. (Lucky girl!)
Sure robert37. Would love to chat. Go to rohaan. Send an e-mail, I'll write back. Wouldn't mind talking here (blog) but I seem to "lose" this part of the CS, and it takes forever to find it. If you know a shortcut...! Hey, this is all just wanting to pen-pal, etc... and since I'm on the edge of the Pacific, and you're on the edge of the Atlantic...what's the big deal, you know? Write, Bud!
I'd love to talk. Can't figure out how to return to the blogs, though. Will wait for you to help me out on this one. I'm a guy--kinda dumb--need to be led by the nosehairs so if you choose to answer be fairly thorough in telling me how to get back to this (your blog) planet. THEN I'll talk up a storm, Lovie!

You are right. It's difficult at times, but one of the greatest virtues of really (I mean really) stepping into adulthood is to be able to do the correct thing or action, EVEN when it is not being done to you. Tough, I know. No matter how righteous you may feel about a certain issue, count to ten, or whatever. "Three things returneth not: the sped arrow, the spoken word, and the lost opportunity".
