You know what? We always put on our best face for our potential suitors/ladyloves, and for whatever reason horrified that one of our "faults" may be discovered and make us look less appealing. Do we not realize that sooner or later these faults will show up sooner or later and we will eventaully have to deal?
Best to face reality, be yourself, warts and all and let the chips fall where they may.
I think 90% of us set our sites too high anyway, and that's why some don't get picked for kickball...
Sad to say that you are a person out of your time. It does come with age. Alot of the girls are attracted to the "bad boy" type, and do not learn until they get burned. Unfortunately, once is not often enough, and they create a cycle where they keep picking the same losers and if they are lucky they escape with their lives. I was married to someone like that and was fool enough to think I could change him.
First mistake -thinking you have the power to change someone.
If they are not decent individuals by the time they are 20, they probably will never be. And it is a self-esteem issue.
There are alot of older women who can see you for what you are, and a certain percentage of the younger set.
Yes, I didnt find out about it until I was fast asleep, must have been like one a.m. My daughtercame rushing in-my daughter must not have been contacted until after the fact , which makes me mad.
We had a little bit of excitement here late last night.
My 9 year old granddaughter was spening a night with a friend and apparently the mother had scolded her for something or another, enough to get the child quite upset. The two little girls got to talking and schemed to run away. They acted on their implulses and stole away into the night. The mother discovered them missing about 11 c'clock and called the Niagara County Sherriff's.
They did find the girls okay, way up on a lonely country road a few miles down from the house abd brought them back. That stretch of road is very dark, very secluded anfd many terrible things could have happened (ran over, abducted, etc). Needless to say after hugs of relief, they both got smacks on the rear. That was very frightening.
Anyone else have similar experiences?
Be back, I have to drive my daughter to field hockey practice.
I ghad a similar experince today, but with my daughter's children. I was reminded of the joy you can have reveling in child-like fun at an amusement park with children.
I also was reminded how beautiful they really are, and they are a reflection of their parents. Must mean I did something right,lol!
I reminded myself there is a cycle to life, and there are always new beginnings as well as ends, things we have lost.
It goes without saying that we should be thrilled for our friends who have met their love and are embarking on a brand new ife's adventure and that eventually our turn will come.
