RE: Divorce Letter

Talk about getting what you deserve!

RE: all done but the crying

Glad I tuned in so that I saw this one! Have a safe trip, Ship, and yes, let us all know that you arrived safely.

I saw a reference to a couple that are friends of yours having something to do with this move, and it sounded like the best part of you that I've seen briefly is the motivation behind this one, so truly, best of luck to you. I hope everything turns out well, buddy.



Safe journey, Ship.

RE: How well do you need to know someone to agree to go on a date?

If it's just a date, less than that is enough. That's how you find out if there's more in common. Unless it's long distance, then there needs to be more first. That's what emails and phone calls are for...basically, those become your "first dates".

Good luck.

RE: Is it worth it?

I think if you really love each other, and have a strong relationship, then yes, it can still work out. You just have to decide together how you're going to handle these things. Life is full of obstacles, Lucky...that's how we grow and get stronger. So yes, if you click and can talk about those things because they don't matter to the two of you, it's worth it because you've found someone who loves you for you.

Good luck, and Blessings, Lucky.

RE: Have you ever been in an open relationship?

No...never have, never will be in one either. I find it to be an oxymoron.

The only kind of "open relationship" I want is the kind where there's enough love and trust to have totally open communication with each other.

That was an incompatibility I just broke a relationship up over. He wanted one of those, I didn't. Monogamy is my middle name (actually, it's Kathleen, but you know what I mean).

RE: Movin' on up

Congratulations, Alabama!

I take it's the man in the picture is the one? I'm happy for your happiness!

I'm at the beginning of one that I hope will be just as amazing. So far, we have so much in common, that it's great. So, this weekend we'll find out about the physical attraction and chemistry in person, and see how he is with the kids (though he raised his own and loves his grandkids, so I don't see a problem there either).

Anyway...back to getting my house ready. I have my 13 yr old son's girlfriend coming over Saturday to meet her for the first time too...all stress or no stress, that's my motto!

RE: Experiences

I live too close to a couple of county borders to say that...but a couple of counties over sure makes it a LDR to me. Hence, Fate bit me on the butt on that one!

RE: Experiences

I've always said I'd never trust enough to have a LDR, and (remember, guys, why I say I never say never...Fate likes to bite me for it?! ) now I'm starting one. He's only a couple of hours away right now, but getting ready to move another hour or so away for a new job he's starting.

I won't move that far from my kids at this stage, so if we decided it was really serious, he'd have to give up that job and move here. We'll know how serious this might get after this weekend. Right now, the plan is for him to come here and visit for the whole weekend, meet my kids, everything. He'll be staying in my guest room while we see if the sparks are there for physical attraction/chemistry in person. So far things in email and by phone are great.

I know this isn't the same as a different region or country, but when you both work and there are that many hours to travel, it might as well be (a different region, anyway). It's more long distance than I had ever planned. And I agree that a LDR can put a strain on the relationship, though people have done it successfully with lots of travel back and forth, and tons of communication in between. You have to have a lot of trust and patience for that, though.

Good luck, Oz. I hope it all works out for you.

RE: If you were my wallet

Geez...a lot of you people put strange things in the fridge! I've never done that one...though I have put things in places they didn't belong and then couldn't find them.

My last hunt like this was my keys. Knew I'd had them, 'cuz I drove the car home...finally found them hiding in a coat pocket. You go to the gym a lot...did you try looking there?

Good luck, SF...I hope you find your wallet. That sucks when it gets irretrievably lost.

RE: How Important Is It ....?

Yep...I know people who do that, too, and it drives me crazy. Makes me want a tape recorder so that I can record them and play them back to themselves the next time. My sons' father is good for that one.

RE: Looks as if the party is winding down...

Have a great trip, Zee! Sounds like fun...except for the camping part. Glad you have someone who likes to accompany you on this journey, too. Enjoy!

RE: How Important Is It ....?

I can't help you there, Al...I'm baffled by them myself. I do know one who uses humor to hide a very deep person inside, and that's part of his protective shell...sometimes he ends up doing this because he backs off out of fear of being hurt again. But he's the only one that I understand. Others who live their life this way, I just don't get it.

RE: U know who i'm???

Good luck finding her. That answer is different for each of us.

RE: Answer to this question..........

I'm not sure. I would consult a lawyer, since it's a legal matter.

Good luck.

RE: How Important Is It ....?

Don't make threats you don't mean and couldn't, or wouldn't, follow through on. Don't make promises you don't mean and couldn't, or wouldn't, follow through on.

I am an honest person who tries to be positive as much as possible (I have my bad moments, I'm human), and never to say things I don't mean. I love life, and I don't take it too seriously, I laugh a lot...but, I take my words and actions toward others seriously. I treat others as I would want them to treat me, even if they don't.

So, I agree...I'm baffled by people who don't live that way and whose words mean nothing.

RE: What kind of Martial Arts would you like to master?

You're not the first one to create a poll and be reminded that they forgot something in the list that was one of the biggies of it. No problem, buddy. And I loved Kung Fu!

RE: Cinderella's grounded

I'm so sorry to hear that you can't go...but save the gown and have that date you lined up take you somewhere spectacular around Christmas or New Year's. Obviously the surgery was pretty important to be done on an emergency basis, so count your blessings about your eyes. You'll have plenty of company on here Saturday night.

RE: What kind of Martial Arts would you like to master?

I've studied many forms over the years. Shaolin was my first, and I loved the flow of it. I've also studied T'ang Su Do, Aikido, Judo, Jujitsu, Tae Kwan Do, and Tai Chi. Although I voted for Tae Kwan Do, for I would prefer to master it, at my age and with the limits my body has begun to impose on me due to not keeping it in enough use, I'll settle for Tai Chi. Much more my speed now.

Awesome thread, my friend!

RE: HELLO MY NAME IS......

Hi, Helen. You're a beautiful woman, so just hang in there. It takes time to find the right one. The only thing we can do is avail ourselves of every opportunity, and it will happen when it's meant to happen.

Hang around on the forums, meet people and have fun. There have been some great success stories that have come out of here...but they came by the people getting to know each other over time. In the meantime, you'll have some laughs and maybe make some new friends...that's never a bad thing. I wish you the best in finding what you're looking for, but sometimes it comes when we relax and stop looking.

RE: I Woke Up This Morning

Bohdi, you speak in the past, so I'm sorry it didn't work out. You're an awesome guy.

RE: Pilots

Awesome!

RE: Pilots

My father is a retired pilot. Knew what he wanted to do from the age of 4 when he got his first trip in his uncle's plane. He got his training in the Air Force as a fighter pilot, then went to work for the airlines when he got out. Made Captain after one year (easier to do back then). He loved going to work every day, and never forgot that he held people's lives in his hands. Loving what he did made it so that at 75 he still looks like he's only in his 60's.

Maybe because they remind me of my father, I've never had a thing for pilots.

RE: Is today's woman too materialistic

No, dear...yours seems to be particularly aimed at the opposite goal for some strange reason. So, it makes me wonder how much of it is actually true.

Friendly hearts who care about you despite yourself want to know.

RE: Is today's woman too materialistic

I believe at one point here I mentioned taking the scammers out of the equation, darlink!

RE: Is today's woman too materialistic

So, your profile is a lie, Ship? One shouldn't believe it?

There might be some like that, but I don't think that's as widespread as you say...if you take the scammer population out of the equation, I think most are pretty honest.

RE: Have U Ever ?????????

Yes...all the way through NY until I got to VT, my kids knew my dad was everything but a white man, and just how great a state VT was...

told him about it, too.


Have you ever lied to your children (besides Santa Clause and stuff)?

RE: I have flowered woman on this sight I have IM'd them what am I doing wrong?

No, that's very f***ing rude, Tip. You're a beautiful woman. You're also smart and have a good heart. Hang in there, sweetie...you'll find the right one.

RE: how much is important to keep our promises

I try not to make too many promises. If my kids ask me if we can do something, I'll say, "We'll try to do that next weekend," or "we'll see if we can,"...I try not to promise if I'm not 100% sure that I can keep the promise.

Now...I promise not to cheat on someone, or never to lie...that's different. Those I can keep. I've always told my kids I'd never lie to them, and I never have. And as they've gotten older, sometimes that's not easy, either...'cuz I always promised that they could ask me anything and I'd answer them honestly... there are questions they will ask me instead of their dad.

RE: discussion

It takes time, and looking at what you've learned. Some day you'll find that you can love again, and you'll be stronger and better with more to give. It hurts, but time heals the wounds, and we learn and become able to do it again.

Just don't rush into anything for a while. Get to know who you are again, and learn to love who you are now.
