RE: How Deep is Your Love...???

Yes, once, and it was a mistake at that time. I think we're finally reaching the point that I can do that and not scare him off. He lets me call him "Love" now, and calls me "Dear", so we're getting there.

For now, I stick with showing him. I'll save telling him for a time I sense he's finally ready.

Patience is a virtue that rarely goes unrewarded.

RE: Prayer for Jessejess47

You have mail.

RE: Anxiety Attacks

Try Bach's Rescue Remedy. It's very effective at calming people down, which is why it's one of the best-selling flower essences available. And yes, flower essences are very potent healers, especially for emotional/psychological issues. If I find more on this, herbals and such, I'll email you.

RE: So how does this love thing work?

Oh, no...when it comes to the two of you I'm on both your sides, because you truly are as one.

RE: What do you do after the ice is broken?

When the ice is broken, I usually add it to the blender in my smoothies.

RE: Prayer for Jessejess47

I'm hoping that was a joke.

You'll have mail by the end of tonight. You're home, so you're my top priority for health information getting typed up. Glad you're home, Jess, and truly glad that you didn't need that stent.

RE: what turns you ...

Honestly, what turns me on most about him is that look in his eyes when he thinks nobody can see, when I catch his eye right before he realizes it. Those blue eyes of his get so intense then. And his arms when he holds me, because they feel like home, especially when things are really bad and there's extra tenderness in the way he holds me. And that last taste in a kiss goodnight.

His sense of humor, for he always has been able to make me laugh when I'm down or stressed out. The way he can suddenly give a pure belly laugh at something I've said or done. The way he casually teases me by telling me since I'm the one who made his back hurt (a week ago? :confused) that I need to come over and fix it.

That big, tender heart of his when he reveals it, which he's starting to do more often now. The way he surprises me by sharing parts of his plans, what he did, and the rest of his world after years of pushing me away.

Honestly, there isn't anything about him that doesn't turn me on. It's just nice that now he openly calls me "Dear" and lets me call him "Love" or "Honey" without looking at my like I've lost it, and without caring who overhears us. The crab (Cancer) finally opened his shell to let me in a bit.

RE: So how does this love thing work?

I second this one!

No, Captain, I don't feel one bit sorry for you. And I know you don't really, either. Goofball. I love watching you two in action. You're just so damned cute together.

RE: Is it Time to Stop Eating Fish??

I hope a solution is found. Tuna, salmon, and talapia is the mainstay of my diet for meat. I hardly ever eat red meat now, and very little chicken.

These particular fish are a good source of omega 3 and omega 6 EFA's. The salmon is also a good source of calcium and is good for thyroid health and other health conditions. It would be a shame for them to become extinct. Farmed ones aren't as good for us as the wild ones, though.

And no, I'm not going to eat less of these fish for now, but I will pray that the quaculturists find a solution. I am more aware now, though. Thank you, Lago.

RE: Do u smoke? Which cigarette do u prefer if u do?

I smoke Misty Light 120's, and I pay $4.85 a pack. I've cut down, but I haven't managed to quit yet.

Bad News

Yes, it sure is...and it's tough losing a person that you love, regardless of your beliefs. We're still human, after all. Thank you, PW. I'll have to look that saying up, I like what you do remember of it.

RE: Do You Control ?

Only my sons when they're acting up...and only because then it's my job as a mother. And my dogs, because again, that's my job as a mommy and pack leader.

Other than that, nope. I'm like a willow...I bend. Heck, when I have a thread up I never get upset if it gets hijacked...I always say that it's like my home, come in, put your feet up, relax and have fun. And I don't try to control a man in my life. I take them as they are, and follow my heart where it takes me. But I don't stay if someone tries to control me, either.

Bad News

Yes...he's very loved by many people.

RE: Who would you like to be

She was an awesome woman, wasn't she, Spicey?

RE: Do You Control ?

Nope. I only want to share with others, and to make them think a little...and to have fun. I have no desire to control or to be controlled. And good luck to anyone who does try to control me. Ever try to control the wind or the rain?

RE: Prayer for Jessejess47

He is definitely in my prayers, Sandra. And at least I got to let him know that. And I'm praying he doesn't need that stent.

RE: Who would you like to be

Dead: Amelia Earhart.

Living: Shirley Muldowney, Ashley Force or Danica Patrick.

I have a need for speed!

Bad News

Again, thank you all, my friends. I'll be remembering that in my beliefs he's only changing worlds. It's not the end, just a transformation, or rebirth. He's lived a good, long life. He's somewhere in his 80's. And he'll know my thoughts are with him.

But I'll miss the man I knew as Uncle Ray.

RE: Do you believe in life after death?

I believe that after we shed this earthly body we go into a period of review of what we've learned, and then rest or do other things until we decide it's time to come in again.

I do believe that our souls are forever, and that this is just a passing phase in our total life as a spirit, and that its goal is to learn lessons to move to a higher level. The Native Americans say that we "change worlds" when we die. I like that, and I agree.

Bad News

Thank you all so far. Yes, Ken, sometimes family friends are more like family. And it sucks to be so far away from them, and not be able to see him again.

But, I have my memories, and they're all good ones. I loved him dearly.

Now I'm just waiting for the news that he's gone. Hopefully it won't be too long and he won't suffer too much.

RE: the big announcement

Cas, good to see you're still being you, my friend. You made me look, though!

RE: people not into you

RE: I was sooooo sad.....

Thank you.

Good to see you, too.

Bad News

Yesterday my mom informed me that a good friend of the family, one who was more like an uncle to me than many of my blood uncles, barely survived a heart attack a few days ago. He only has 2% of one artery left, so they really don't know how he survived. He has Alzheimer's and Dementia, so he was already on a bad decline. He's not expected to survive the week.

I haven't seen him in the 25 years since I moved to PA, and I'm not going to get to see him before he dies. My dad said in a way, it's a good thing because I'll remember him when he was strong and healthy.

I do wish I'd gotten to see him again, though. Or would get to now. I loved him dearly. A good, sweet man is about to leave this world.

RE: Caring for an elderly relative

No. I moved in here with my late husband and his dad, and helped care for him as well until he himself decided he needed to go into a private care home. We drove around together to choose one when he decided it might be time, so he already knew where he wanted to go when it was time. But it was his choice, not ours.

I respected my husband for taking care of his dad like that, and happily helped out. I have no regrets over it.

RE: one of the worst things i ever did

No, you were the winner that day because it taught you a lesson in kindness and love of all living creatures. You did one cruel, senseless thing and learned a powerful lesson from it, and have made up for it a million times since then. Blessings.

Nothing is all bad if good comes out of it. You can stop beating yourself up for that day, but keep living the lesson learned of loving and giving. We're all connected. "Mitakyue oyasin"..."all my relations"...it includes the birds, the trees, the grass, as well as other humans past, present, and future.

RE: ahhhhhhhhh the new guy

Sorry, but washboard abs don't impress me either. I like 'em a bit easier to rest my head on, too.

RE: yup im new

Welcome to the forums, then, Mercury! Just have fun and be yourself.

RE: ahhhhhhhhh the new guy

Welcome aboard, Overdrive! Hang out, have fun, and relax. And welcome to the nut house!

RE: Convert me

Crottie, my friend, I have no desire to convert you. You either feel it or you don't, and you don't. And I accept you for who you are, my friend.

So, that said, I just popped in to say hi 'cuz I don't see you on much anymore.
