RE: Best said in the wrods of PINK!

I'll second that thought, Ras. A good one to end Veteran's Day on, too.

Good night.

RE: <<What Will Shake Up This Place >>

Sorry...that was funny. I looked after reading this, and it sure starts out that way!

OK...getting punchy and heading to bed. Late here.

G'nite everyone!

RE: Is there really someone out there for everyone?

I met my late husband when I wasn't looking, and we started out as friends. It was the most beautiful relationship I've ever had, albeit cut too short. No, we met in person, not online.

I hope that there's another love like that left for me in this life...and although I'm not actively looking right now, I keep my options, and my mind, open.

If, and when, it's meant to be, it will be...for all of us.

Best wishes.

RE: Is there really someone out there for everyone?

I believe there is...for me, I still have hope that there is again.

RE: Best said in the wrods of PINK!

Powerful. Thank you.

RE: Please pray or hope.

Understood if we don't see you that much for a while, then. You need to take good care of yourself.

RE: I need Prayers

Absolutely, CJ...you have my prayers and positive energy being sent now, gf. Best wishes...and you know I'm here for you.

RE: Pet names...

I don't mind it, Irie...thank you!

RE: just for fun whats ur shortest relation ship

On a serious note, I don't remember exactly how long it lasted...about a month, maybe less? I was still in HS, he was heading off to college. I snuck him into my bed late at night, and out early in the morning...and I wrote one of my most beautiful poems ever about him. (If I still have that, it's buried in a box somewhere.) I gave him a copy of that poem. I had definitely fallen in love with him, and I believe it was returned.

Buried memories.

Thank you, darlin'! That was really sweet.

^^man of thoughtful words

RE: Pet names...

I don't know why this made me think of this...but when I was a teenager, my dad called me Veronica Lake because I grew my hair long and it was parted on the side, so it went over one eye. Apparently she was a famous actress in the '40s with that look.

Thanks, Kitty, for the memory jog!

RE: Please pray or hope.

Absolutely, Rilly. You have my prayers and positive energy for you.

RE: just for fun whats ur shortest relation ship

Well...I kinda wondered that myself...but, if 3 days stated above does, why not? It was overnight!

RE: In The Dumps

At least you reached out here for support. That helps, too. And I've discovered that virtual hugs help as much as real ones.

RE: <<<When was The Last Time>>>

I've been known to ask a man out...if I had waited for him, my late husband and I probably never would have started dating!

RE: <<<When was The Last Time>>>

Double threads again...oh my!

Anyway...a stranger yes...but nobody's perfect!

RE: <<<When was The Last Time>>>

Well....a stranger, anyway...nobody's perfect!

RE: do woman like red heads or what

Hair color doesn't matter to me...the inside counts more than the outside. However, I admit that I find redheads more attractive than blonds. Of course, at my age, once they turn grey, who cares what it originally was...

RE: just for fun whats ur shortest relation ship

BK Double Whopper! Yep, I loved it as I ate it!

RE: just for fun whats ur shortest relation ship

One date

RE: In The Dumps

Steven, you'll find you're not alone...and that's part of what we all do here for each other. Support each other when we're down. As someone on here said in a thread once, what's the difference between this and what we call RL? This is RL, too...just most of us haven't met in person. But we tend to be our real selves here, and make real friends. So...you've done the right thing.

I've been at the point you are now many times. What works for me is to give myself a day or a weekend to wallow in it, and then start living again. That's important...allow a certain amount of time to wallow. I found it easier to lift out that way because I wasn't fighting the feeling. I allowed it to be...for a time.

Another thing I do is start thinking about my blessings: friends, roof over my head, family, dogs, car, job, food, my garden, my yard, my health...you get the idea. Start thinking of every positive thing in your life.

I call where you're at "facing the abyss", btw. I hate it there, but without times like that I couldn't appreciate fully the happier times...so, it's a blessing in its own way, too.

Another thing to help yourself...give yourself a treat. Go buy something that you really like...a book, a movie, a game, whatever...or treat yourself to something nice like an ice cream cone or your favorite comfort meal (mine is McDonald's). Just do something positive and uplifting for YOU. It helps.

RE: Hey hey hey (fat albert)

forums then! Come on in and join the fun with the rest of us nuts! It's a blast! I'll warn ya, it's a bit addicting, though!

RE: Italian food...

Yep...you said it first.

RE: Gas is $1.95 here

You're close to me, so mine's probably close to that. I'll find out tomorrow.

RE: If you could change the CS Name of the person above, what would it be?

Thank you. "Writes in Red" ^

RE: If you could change the CS Name of the person above, what would it be?

CJ...sweet one

RE: If you could change the CS Name of the person above, what would it be?

spirited one ^

RE: Favourite cake or dessert!

I used to love that, too...and banana creme pie. Can't have either anymore. Oh well.
