I think that no matter how hard you try to be honest, the internet is difficult. People read into your words what they want to hear, or you said something which was true, but not nearly enough to present the whole picture. I've never met anyone off the internet because I'm new to this and actually not looking - but I did have a long, really cool internet friendship with someone I had not seen in 30 years. When we finally did meet, it was a dud. Nothing bad, just no sparks at all.
I would be grouchy if I lived in Sun City, too. How long did it take to get bored counting ambulances? LOL If you need volunteers for Christmas, I can loan you my two little nose-pickers!
Not so much kind as one of the "lucky ones." You look like far too nice a person to get that kind of crap. Too bad people don't get what they deserve. Good people should get good relationships and people in Sun City should get abused and thrown out. LOL Just kidding, mister. I love your posts!
Hey Ron. I appreciate the logic of your argument but I've found it doesn't make a large difference in real life. Some men are that way no matter what. The larger question is why do some women continue to be drawn to the wrong types. I hear comments like when are we going to sleep together and the alarm bells go off. Besides, I like being the one to ask! LOL
Ahhhh Soooo! Very good! And I guess from your 20-year marriage you appreciate this more than most. Good luck with the new "prospect." I really, really hope it works out!
So what happened? Did things "get serious" then start to peter out? Do you regret it now? Do you still see them online and just avoid each other? Just curious. New to the site and wondering what to expect!
When I finally decided to "Take the Plunge," I was scared witless. To me, commitment was second only to death. I was so worried about all the things I would sacrifice that I failed to realize all the gains. But over the years, I was repaid tenfold. There is nothing better than a happy union. You do change, you do sacrafice, but you get the benefit of a strong loving union which makes you far stronger, far happier than what you can be when you're alone. What I didn't know, was that losing your loved one is also the most painful experience of all. If I could have reached down my throat and ripped my own heart out to spare him, I would have. It's not like losing an arm, it's more like losing an arm, a leg, your total identity, and half your brain cells. Love hurts worse than anything I've encountered so far. Yet I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Take the risk, people. There are wonderful things out there you just can't envision until you live it!
Good! I can promise you that I was the biggest cynic of all at one time, but I took a chance and he never gave me one reason to regret it. Take the chance! What do you really have to lose? You'll still be the same person if he breaks your heart, right?
She had a good point though. The media is obsessed with "who's had what done," and Cher is very blunt about things. She'll tell ya, then she'll tell ya off! LOL
Can you imagine springing an air leak and having little Willie break from his moorings? I can see him now...flying all over the restaurant and landing in someone's teacup.
Go to the thoroughbred racehorse rescue website and you might get another opinion. They are not always well treated (often euthanized if they lose because their too expensive to keep), then they are shoved into a starting gate and whipped continuously. Horses are "flight" animals. They do love to run, but they also run as their only means of defense. Really can't say they enjoy "our" sport.
Hi Horselady. I'm new here, too. Also a horse lady. Thought you might want to chime in on the blog entitled, "For your Thoughts." Go back to Forums and you should find it about two down from you entry.
I hope you don't mind my popping in but I just had to respond to this post. I'm also a horse owner and horse lover. I quit watching steeplechases and horse races a few years ago because it just began to sicken me. So glad there are others who agree.

RE: The First Meeting
Have you ever tried going to one of the gatherings? A nice, safe way to get all in one room?
