I agree Beverly. I think you can at your first meeting. Actually being close enough to feel their presence and their vibes. But not at a picture or just seeing them walk by.
It seems that "money making media" is not just an American tradition anymore. I'm sure somehow this too will be the fault of the American government... Whatever.
Another beautiful pic... Maybe you missed your calling as a model.
Keeping in touch with the departed is great, but keeping in touch with the ones still here enjoying my company is even better.
And I, for one, enjoy seeing the "couples" who have hooked up on CS. It is very encouraging to the ones who are still single. And we all know how much that helps our own plight to find "the one."
LOL, I was wondering which one of you would call me on the "like" thing... I was going for that Sally Fieldish Oscar speech thing on that one. It is quite obvious it is true love.
I adore my cowboy and I think he adores me just as much. He woke me up this morning with a phone call. It was really nice to hear his voice first thing this a.m. I would say all the hogwash about "we are taking it slow and blah, blah, blah", but we aren't. We don't want to waste our time together for that.
Thanks to you and Ken for the encouragement.
NOTE TO HENNERY: Do whatever you feel right doing. It's all good.
I think it is wonderful and encouraging that your boyfriend is playing an active role in getting you help. You already know you are not freaking out, that you do need help. And that help is just a phone call away. Please make the call. Even if you have to use your neighbor's phone or go to a friend's house. Email me any time if you want to talk. I have messenger too. A lot of people on CS will be more than happy to support you while you work this out. We honestly do care.
I'm not sure why anyone would be "mad" at you since I don't know you very well, but like everyone else, you are entitled to your own thoughts and opinions. It would be a very boring world if we all had the exact same brain.
Wow, you totally freaked me out for a minute there... I still have emails from her and her blog is still up, so she must just be taking a break... gosh, I hopes that's it.
Honey, for your daughter's sake, make a legal thing of this. Protecting you and your daughter's rights to be a family is worth it. Unfortunately this will not be the last time you are bumped, but if you had court ordered visitation rights, then at least you are guaranteed time to bond with your daughter and be the father you want to be to her. Good Luck.
I have two older sisters and we are all within 3 years of each other in age. When we were teens, my sisters, and then my parents, started calling me Rena. It used to confuse the heck out of our boyfriends, they would think there was a Rena and a Reva... They still call me that from time to time.
Well it seems much has happened on CS while I was out having a life with my cowboy. It saddens me when I come here and find that others are gone, they will be missed. It always amazes me that so much can happen in such a short time... I was only gone 30 hrs, sheesh
But on a happier note, Ken & Suzy really do like each other, yeah! Congrats to you both. It sounds like a match made in heaven. Good luck. Enjoy every moment.
And on a personally happier note, me and my cowboy are having a blast together. Last night we went to the fair, watched a guy wrestle an alligator in the name of educating... and then watched the rodeo. Very exciting stuff. It's true, those bull riders are completely nuts to do that. And I found myself cheering on all the young ladies in the barrel races.
Anyhow, I just wanted to pop in and say that even though things change, sometimes it is for the better. Maybe not the better for some CS'ers, but maybe for the ones who needed to say what they had to say.
I personally do not leave my options open when dating someone. How can I possibly get to know someone if I'm dividing my time between 2 or more??? I can't do that. Thank goodness I have had much luck at meeting men who want to be monogamous, and when the dating didn't work, most ended up as my friends, which is cool.
Monogamy is not dead among men. You will find one, good luck.
I agree Katie. And I don't think the "real" friends of the ones banned are giving their friends much credit for their intelligence. They all knew the consequences and they decided that it was more important to defend their morals, integrity, and ethical beliefs than it was to remain members of this site. Kudos to them.
I personally love this site and the forums. I appreciate the opportunity I was given to meet everyone here. Yes, I miss some that are gone, but I have other means to keep in touch, so I'm ok with their decision to risk being banned. If there was something I felt that strongly about, I would do the same.
Thanks to the mods for the update. Communication is always a good thing.
You are so welcome. He is so beautiful, just like his grandmother.
And what would life be like if there weren't a few bumps in the road...??? Pretty boring, I suspect. But in the end, we all have great respect for our fellow CS'er even if they are having a bad life at the moment.
Thank you Beverly. I think the world of you and Robert too.
Everyone on CS brings their own since of humor, their own tragedies, their own love stories, and their own opinions to forums and I learn and grow and evolve with each one of them. I think we all do. Even if Cowboy and I hookup forever, I will always come to CS for my daily dose of love, laughter, and friendship.
There are so many wonderful things I could say about each and every one of you. Whoever said you really can't get to know people online has never taken the time to read or post in the forums.
RE: what do women want from men
Me too. I'm not settling for just some of the requirements anymore. Been there, done that, wasn't enough to last forever.
