I was alone in the shadow of a full moon wandering in the darkness of the meadow. I awoke to see the waxing crescent of your smile so beautiful just like a birthday present. In the first quarter we were close with the joy of friendship like the beauty of a rose. In the waxing gibbous of our smiles we journeyed through Autumn and many were the tracks of miles. A new moon of happiness was known in the light of our sharing and then I came into my own. Then the waning gibbous came to play as I met new friends and we started fading away. Now the coldness of winter in this last quarter as our friendship starts to splinter. I still see the waning crescent of your smile just as beautiful and it still like birthday present. Even as the new moon will come I know you are still my friend and still your smile is welcome.
Did you noticed that it is hard to tell the nurses and doctors in this place from the patients, lol. Makes you wonder who is running this place, huh, lol?
I just got off the phone with my son and my little grand daughter. The benefits of paying support is worth it because the kids grow up and they have kids. :)
Yes, I agree, Sharon. The whole spectrum of feelings and emotions. Mood swings, too for that matter. They have come a long way with robotics, electronics and the like but try to make a human. It still takes humans to do that. It is good to feel.
We have DHS here, Department of Human Services. The court made me responsible for the support which is in the divorce papers. Our divorce was cheap because of no contest. My support comes out of check and Ranger pays that to the court and it is good because it cuts down on my taxes because it comes out before taxes. It is good that it is done that way because I don't have to deal with my ex. I have been through the support issue twice because I was twice married to her. The first time in the first marriage I gave her the money and the courts wasn't involved. I even then paid in cash and there was no problem. So in a way it is good and in a way it is bad because it easier to have it taken out of the check and it gets paid which is good for the child's sake which it is meant for. I just begrudge the court because I never made the state of Arkansas pregnant and court isn't my child.
The problem we have here is the courts. I paid a whole year in checks and cash. My ex even went to bat for me and said he paid it and signed a written document with her name on it saying I paid which I did but it is still the same if the courts don't get their cut it is like you didn't pay it. I pay each week 55 dollars and that is 110 every two weeks. Out of the 55 dollars 10 dollars goes to the courts and that isn't even the clerk costs for taking it out of your checks. My daughter became 18 this last February so I am just paying back support. I realize since I am her father and I helped to bring her into this world that I am responsible for my support to her and that is not the issue. What bothers me is that the courts have made a racket out of it. It is like car insurance that you have no choice but to pay. All they need is a social security number and if you have a job that is not under the table they can take it out legally. It is just how much money the courts can benifit from it determines if they go after the person who is not paying support. I still carry insurance on my daughter as long as she is in college.
Thats a lot I got mine down to 3,000.00 dollars now. The laws have changed. It used to be child support and you give the money to the person who had custody but now it is court support and they get they cut right off the bat.
I throw a pillow on the floor sometimes and sleep in front of the television. Other nights I sleep in the small twin bed with my dog Mo. Mo is a good cuddler but that nose is cold in the morning sometimes, lol.
You are a beautiful person inside and outside Cherie, or atleast I have always thought so. You have always been helpful to me when I had a problem. I like you just the way you are but that is only my opinion.
The good thing about the forums is you get to meet people from all walks of life without actually meeting them in person. You can get so many insights from reading the posts. A lot of good information in each and every thread. Even the threads that you may or may think is total bs has answers in it and one of those answers may be exactly the one you are looking for about a particular thing you was wondering about.
It could be that is the type of men that you attract. It might make sense to take a longer or different approach like posting on the forums. Studying a problem from many different angles helps you to learn someone better. Like the dating period when tow can be so sweet and loving towards each other and then once you or they are caught after a while everything changes. You might have encountered this and thought what the hell happened.
He needs help that you can't offer then. It might be that he needs a friend to talk about things that he can't talk to you about. There has to be reason he is that way. Something is troubling him because like you say you two have been at this for ten years. I would doubt that it would be another woman but that might be it, too. He might need professional help with this problem.
It is called fear, Txangel. It is alright for you to be honest but it scares some men to be honest. The fear can be caused by sharing something with a honest person and then being laughed at it for it. It is especially true with feelings and emotions. You share the feeling or emotion and get downed for it because they tell you to grow up or something like that. It starts early in life when you are a child and you are ignored or told to be a man when you are only still a child. Feelings and emotions can be delicate even if you are large in stature. Go ahead and laugh honesty is a joke isn't it.

I touched a name today
To my friend, SharonPieces Of Eight

I was alone in the shadow
of a full moon wandering
in the darkness of the meadow.
I awoke to see the waxing crescent
of your smile so beautiful
just like a birthday present.
In the first quarter we were close
with the joy of friendship
like the beauty of a rose.
In the waxing gibbous of our smiles
we journeyed through Autumn
and many were the tracks of miles.
A new moon of happiness was known
in the light of our sharing
and then I came into my own.
Then the waning gibbous came to play
as I met new friends
and we started fading away.
Now the coldness of winter
in this last quarter
as our friendship starts to splinter.
I still see the waning crescent
of your smile just as beautiful
and it still like birthday present.
Even as the new moon will come
I know you are still my friend
and still your smile is welcome.
