The hardest part about breaking up is just realizing that you're no longer wanted. Friends? If we were really going to be friends then we wouldn't have broken up.
Hearing the words "It's not you, it's me." Bull crap! There must be something in you that doesn't like me anymore and if you don't like me, then it's ME, not you! Or, "I thought I was ready for a relationship, but I'm not." (translation: I don't want a relationship with YOU!) However it's worded, it still means that you're not wanted or needed and I don't care whether your heart is made of gold or has turned to stone - It hurts because you're not wanted anymore.
THAT'S the hardest part about breaking up. Waking up the next morning just a little bit more alone than the day before...
If it weren't for kids, have ya' ever thought There wouldn't be no Santa Claus Or look what the stork just brought, Thank God for kids!
And we'd all live in a quiet house, Without Bigbird or a Mickey Mouse, Or Koolaid on the couch, Thank God for kids!
Thank God for kids, there's magic for a while A special kind of sunshine in a smile! Did you ever stop to think or wonder why The nearest thing to Heaven is a child?
Daddy, how does this thing fly? And a hundred other where's and why's - I really don't know, but I try Thank God for kids!
...When you get down on your knees tonight, To thank the Lord for his guiding light Pray they turn out right, Thank God for kids!

Those of you with children - I salute you and I envy you!

What's so amazing is that when a person's heart is full, there is still enough room to fit the whole world in there, too. But when a person's heart is empty, there doesn't seem to be room enough for even the smallest grain of sand...
Actually, I read last week that scientists have developed an IPOD the size of a silicon chip that can be implanted into a woman's breast. It should solve the age old complaint that women have about men looking at them, but not listening to them!
In an attempt to interject a smile into what has rapidly turned into a rather vitriolic evening, I give you the following:
A husband, looking through the paper, came upon a study that said women use more words than men.
Excited to prove to his wife that he had been right all along when he accused her of talking too much, he showed her the study results. It read "Men use about 15,000 words per day, but women use 30,000".
The wife thought for a while, then finally she said to her husband "It's because we have to repeat everything we say."
Marry the person below me? I'm not even a Parson - I don't think I've got the authority, unless maybe we went out in my canoe and you could call me the Captain of the ship. Hmmmm.... Kaptain Kansan... It DOES have a nice ring to it!
I just checked for the heck of it and it turns out that I know absolutely no one. In fact the closest ones to me are just barely in the same county. 'Course I get it doesn't help much that I don't socialize much even when I am 'home.' It also doesn't help that the town my mailing address is located in has only about 40 people, only 2 of whom are single. (And I wouldn't date HIM, even he were a member of CS!)
Do bucking horses count? If so, I rodeo'd in the late 70's, early 80's and rode bareback bronc. Thanks to a broken back, I can't/won't do any pleasure riding until I finally break down and buy a mule - The gait is completely different and I think maybe I could handle a mule a lot easier than a horse.
And the heck of it is that some of us simply don't have much in the way of a life - So even when we're being candid, folks think we MUST be making this cr@p up. (How could ANYBODY be that bored and miserable?!)
If a picture is worth a thousand words, and Helen of Troy had a face that could launch a thousand ships, does that mean that a picture of Helen of Troy could launch one million ships?
If the night has a thousand eyes, and getting there is half the fun, does that mean that to have fun getting there at night would require 500 eyes?
If getting there is half the fun, and half a loaf is better than none, would getting halfway there with a whole loaf be more or less fun?
If half a loaf is better than none, and the night has a thousand eyes, and a picture is worth a thousand words, and getting there is half the fun, and Helen of Troy had a face that could launch a thousand ships, then in a picture taken at night from a ship that is halfway there, how much fun would Helen be having if she were holding a full loaf? And could you see it in her eyes?
I would honestly have to say that it depends on the "co-snuggler" or snuggle-e.
There are times when, had I gotten any closer to the person I was with, I'd have been on the other side of her. There are also time when I felt that I couldn't breathe without at least a foot of space between us.
Thanks for posting this - I was kind've afraid to. I chatted with Susie, briefly a couple of hours ago, but didn't have the chance to ask her if I could let folks here know.
You've been a great good friend to her and I know she thinks very highly of you.
And I think she knows that she and her family are in our prayers. It's going to be tough the next few days and all we can do is send her strength through prayers and thought.
Susie - You know where I'm at and you know I'm praying for you. You WILL get through this!

RE: What's So Amazing......
After all we (collectively) have been through, we can still believe in unconditional love. THAT is amazing!
