I don't know about others, but at my age & having been divorced now for 17 years, I enjoy being single. So, I don't think I'd say I'm playing hard-to-get... I'm just not sure I want to be "gotten" at all!!
I'm so sorry! I forgot to update you! She got out of the hospital & is staying with her grandparents during her recovery. Apparently, she's doing pretty well. I haven't heard too much about the investigation though.
My first love was when I was 15, in 1980. His name was Joe. We went together for about 5 months. His family loved me & mine loved him. We broke up for some stupid reason... youth, I guess you could say. Then we got back together, sorta, after we graduated (he was a year ahead of me). He went into the Navy & was stationed in California. While he was gone, I met someone else. When he came home on leave, he came over to my place to have some beer... I invited the other guy. He left & I blew it!! I ended up marrying the other guy... BIG HUGE mistake!! We got divorced 7 years & 1 child later. Ironically, I left my ex-husband after we walked by a church as my first love & his new wife were coming out. I should've done it long before that though. I ran into the guy, his wife, & 4 kids last summer at a party. Let's just say it made me feel good about myself to see them.
He & his brother went back to Italy for a month. Then he's supposed to be coming back to the states. Hopefully, he'll get better at speaking english! It's torture trying to carry on a conversation with him!
Congrats Morganlee!! I'm expecting my third grandchild & my FIRST granddaughter in late October. They truly are a blessing! I ADORE my grandbabies!!! Have fun with him/her!
Having the older brother, I got his hand-me-downs & my sister got to have mine. So I was dressed in boys clothes & she got my nice new clothes. That STANK!!
I have an older brother & a younger sister. But I guess you could say I'm the "white sheep". I'm the responsible one who usually takes care of things, since my mom passed away. I've been at the same job for 20 years & neither of them works.
As far as only children being selfish... my daughter is an only child. And I really don't think she's selfish. I used to feel the same way, but one of my best male friends in high school was an only child & was one of the most caring & giving people I knew. I think it's all in the way you raise them. If you give them everything they want just because they're your only child, of course they'll turn out selfish. JMO
It's sunny & 71 degrees here today. A beautiful day! And hey, it's Friday to boot!!
At work right now... don't tell my co-workers I'm playing on the computer.
Supposed to go see a band play at a local bar tonight, but I was out the last two nights... so, I may just stay home & behave. Besides, with the new mortgage payments, I really have to watch my spending.
I'm not sure what I'll be doing this weekend yet. I'm a spontaneous kinda gal.
Rainbows after thunderstorms Beautiful pink sunsets Hanging out with my wonderful friends Good old-fashioned southern sweet tea Visiting Biloxi The smell of the saltwater, sound of the waves & seagulls at the beach
Unfortunately, I've been in your shoes Hon. About 7 or 8 years ago, my daughter lost a dear friend to leukemia. He also happened to be a son of a good friend of mine from high school. His parents traveled all over to find something to help him. But as time wore on, we knew hope was dwindling.
I'll never forget the day my daughter called me from school & told me that he'd passed away. She was bawling. I left work early & picked her up. We cried together. I allowed her to talk about him anytime she felt she needed to with me. She even made a posterboard with pictures, articles, & poems that she had written for him.
Time seems to have helped with the healing process, but she'll NEVER forget him! I have to commend my daughter for dealing so well with the loss of her dear friend.
I'm sure it'll be hard for the both of you at first. Time does help.
He did say that the family structure was different here than it is there. He said over there, the entire family lives together. Whereas, here we all think we need our own individual homes... the bigger...the better, might I add. He didn't seem taken aback at all when I showed him the pics of my grandbabies. Again, I guess I'll just see what happens. Not sure that I want to get too serious with anyone right now.
He's been having people call me (as he doesn't speak English very well) practically every day, asking if we can hang out. I like him, but I'm very comfortable in my life right now. Besides, he'll be going back to Italy for a month. Then he'll be back for 6 months. I'm just not sure. He's been more of a gentleman than most of the bozos I've met from the US. He actually wants to do things outside of the bedroom! And he's very sweet & cute. The age difference does bother me... enough to be hesitant to ask him how old he actually is. He knows that I have grandchildren as well. Doesn't seem to bother him!
<-----This is my kitty cat, Minnie. She was my daughter's cat, but I brought her home to live with me, since my daughter has 2 little boys & a baby on the way.
OK, so I'm sitting on my sofa, watching TV last night, when I get a phone call. It's the Italian's cousin, saying that he's been going on & on about me all day & wants to get together with me. So, I went & picked him up & we went back to my place. Before you get any ideas, NOTHING happened!! I won't allow it.
We sat & talked... as best we could, since he hasn't mastered the english language & I only know spanish (not Italian) from 2 years of spanish class.
He told me I'm beautiful & that he really likes me. He wants to take me to Italy for a month to visit. He said I could stay at his house. He wants to come back over tonight. I'm in the process of painting my living room in my new house & he offered to help me with it.
All I can think of is that he's going to use me to get his green card. I know I'm terrible, but he's young & very handsome. And my father had it done to him by a French woman. They got married, she still had her home & he had his. After 2 years, she divorced him & disappeared. And no, he probably didn't know that was her intention. See, he had an aneurysm years ago & is easily taken advantage of.
Anywho, I'm not sure what I should do!! Any opinions here?
