Learning to be patient.....

Well..like I said...this is all pretty new...we have only been dating a VERY short time...I will have to let you know what new and exciting things I find out about myself as they come up...

I do hope that it will have simular side effects on me though... I could use more patients at my current day job...it has been horrible lately...I have even started looking for a new job...I need to get back into school anyway and finish my degree...

Learning to be patient.....

I like that..."recycled teenager" .... I was just telling a friend of mine that I was feeling like a school girl again...


Leisure....you didn't offend me...nothing to be sorry about hon...you have to look at my screen name...I don't let too much get to me too often...I LOVE to clown around...

Learning to be patient.....

NO NO NO...they are not my daughters.... they are "THEE GIRLS".....there is a difference..

I would never let my daughter out like that...

Learning to be patient.....

yes...I am finding that out.

My best friend of over 20 years has been married now for 10+ years..her husband has always traveled for his job...she tells me that she wouldn't have it any other way...she says that it keeps things fresh and new for them...who would have thunk it???

What I am finding out is that it gives you a chance to miss the other person and helps you appreciate the time you have with them that much more.

HA HA HA...the things I will do to help cheer up a friend....

RE: A challenge - to all the clever people:

yeppers

I let the girls out JUST a little too much...

Learning to be patient.....

WOW...thank you...I really didn't think there would be so many responses this soon...

Some wonderful advice too...

I didn't mean it to sound like HE was the one teaching me to trust...it is something that I am teaching myself...sorry if I misrepresented that point. I am just seeing a different side of life with him...and I think that I could really enjoy too...that in and of itself is scary to me. I am have to keep telling myself that it is ok and that I will be ok no matter what the outcome. So in reality, I guess I am learning to trust and rely on myself instead of someone else. It is a new experience for me, one that I am sure is going to bring many lessons my way...

RE: (complete the sentence.) Love is................

You are right TurkishDelight.

Learning to be patient.....

As some of you know...I am not the most patient person on the planet.. so, when it comes to relationships I have always tried to "push" what I wanted instead of what was best for both.

As you can imagine, that didn't go over to well.

I am now in a situation where I MUST be patient. I have just started dating someone that travels a lot for his job. I can not call him whenever I feel like it because I never know how late he is working or if he is in a meeting. I can not see him as often as I would like to because at the moment, he is out of the country. I am finding it a little difficult to deal with on some levels and then on other levels, I am finding that it is a good thing for me. I am finding that my world doesn't have to revolve around this person every moment, that it can actually be a good thing if we don't have the oppertunity to talk on a daily basis. I am learning to trust not only myself, but another as well, and for those of you who know me...you know that is HUGE.

I don't know how things are going to turn out, if they will work or not that is but, the one thing I do know is that this is teaching me to become a more patient person.

Is there anyone else out there that has had a simular experience?? If so, please share your experience, you never know, we could be helping others at the same time.

forgot to add PASSION...

RE: One More Reminder for Adam

COOL

RE: why we are dissapointed?

I do understand what you are saying here Claudya...there are many on the net that are married, or in a relationship and lie about it. Then you have the ones that don't know what the truth really is.

When I first started on CS...I got caught up in a HUGE scam....I was chatting with someone for several months...long story short...we exchanged addresses (yes, my home address) he sent me flowers...and then all the rest of the merchendise started to arrive...the only good thing that came out of this was, that one of the laptop computers that the scammer had ordered and shipped to my address actually arrived...I had even been contacted by Dell to see if I had ordered it...when I told them no...they told me it wouldn't get shipped...well...I got it within a few days...they wouldn't pay the shipping to pick it up, and the police told me that after 30 days...I could keep it free and clear...so, my son ended up with a brand new laptop...

RE: One More Reminder for Adam

*bump*

Please let's try to keep this on the first page of the forums...that way we know that everyone is thinking and praying for Adam...


this young man has touched the hearts of so many of us, I pray that his surgery goes without complications, and a speedy recovery.

RE: (complete the sentence.) Love is................

LOVE IS

intimacy, romance, friendship, compassion, empathy, giving, taking and togetherness.

RE: why we are dissapointed?

I am not so sure it is "lies" that are being told...I think it is just easier to be yourself on the net. I know for me, it is easier to speak freely than it is talking to someone face to face... ...doesn't sound right I know...but that is the way it is for me. Even with the man I am dating, we chat both on the phone and on the net because he is away on a business trip...he has made the comment that I "type" more freely that I talk on the phone or in person. GO FIGURE...

DISCLAIMER

*this is just my personal opinion*

RE: Leaving C.S

whew...you had me scared for a minute there ship...glad you are only changing your sign-in. Look forward to making "twisted" comments....

RE: One More Reminder for Adam

I will be thinking of him all day Dana...

RE: My family needs your positive energy now.

you got it Shirley...added to my list of prayers

RE: Yep I struck out...again

"I build walls around me not to keep people out, but to see who might decide to climb over them"

I like the saying...I am going to have to keep that in mind for future...

RE: Yep I struck out...again

That is pretty much what I was told by many others from CS...if it wasn't for them (and I think you were one of them) I wouldn't have taken the chance and allowed myself to start dating again...then I wouldn't be with someone right now...it is very early to say much about him...but things are going well at the moment...

RE: Thing You Should Know

Good one...

this one is my favorite...
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

RE: are you satisfied with connecting singles?

if you do...send it to me...I can't find any of the ones you sent the last time....my computer is being really mean...

RE: Yep I struck out...again

I like the way you think Da10th

RE: are you satisfied with connecting singles?

LOL..it wasn't your fault...you were kind of put on the spot....
If I would have cooked on the grill...we would have had shoe leather

RE: are you satisfied with connecting singles?

Yep..and we will have to do something a little different for the cook out too...no charcol burgers... (j/k)

I will have to do some investigating and all...but I think that May could work out....don't know...maybe even June...

RE: are you satisfied with connecting singles?

The only problem with the whole "savoring the memories" thing...I kind of like this one and want him to be around for awhile...LOL...not chase him away...

Drew is doing very well, thanks for asking...he has a boyfriend now who is NOT a stalker...long story short...the one he was with at the get together...BIG TIME STALKER!!!...anyway....he is changing his major and thinking of becoming a minister....at least we know he has the lung power for that...

you are welcome...I was happy to put all that together...I was thikning about doing another...just don't know when...there are so many things to do around here....and it would be sooooo much fun to see everyone again...what do you think?

Are you up for another trip to St. Louis, MO?????

RE: If you reveal a secret to yourself, do you have to shoot yourself to keep the secret from spreading

yet you still haven't harmed yourself...that is wonderful news..

how have ya been Kid?

RE: are you satisfied with connecting singles?

He has done pretty well with me so far...

Right now we are only able to communicate by computer or phone...he is in Canada on a business trip...he will be back home around Dec. 19th....of course Drew is going to be heading out for FL sometime around then for Christmas break...he says that he is going to hang around to meet "this new guy"...

At least I gave Alan fair warning about Drew...I couldn't let the poor guy meet him without letting him know SOMETHING about him...

RE: are you satisfied with connecting singles?

Time will tell...like I said...things are moving in the right direction...at least he doesn't scare easily...that is a REALLY good thing since he hasn't met my son yet... you know how he can be....

RE: are you satisfied with connecting singles?

I don't know if you "said" it outloud...but your fingers did...

I am starting to get a little excited about Christmas this year...I don't think I am spending it alone

I am not holding my breath just yet....wouldn't want to turn all blue and purple....not good colors for me...
