I love that song by Donna Fargo, Solitaire. I was listening to it last night on our Classical radio station. So smile for a while and lets be jolly. Life shouldn't be so melancholy. Enjoy the good times while you can. I beg your pardon. I never promised you a rose garden. Great song.
Good point, Paws. You have raised something that I heard on the radio. The speaker referred to it as "Proactive Good". It is something my ex made me think of, too. It is doing the right thing witthout having to be reminded without compensation not that it was expected but because as a human being one should think of others. It is treating others as you would like to be treated. Proactive good people just naturally try to help others. Like the guy who will ask if you need anything or will stop on the highway to see if you need any help. I see it a lot in the nursing home that the nurses and aides will just inquire about your welfare and just roll up their sleeves to pitch in. Kind of like the old barning raising thing where the community tries to take care of it's own.
Not afraid any more. I used to be afraid to share my feelings and felt rediculed for it. But after the grief experience I have found that it promotes intimacy with a partner. It promotes healing; Helps you to get to know them and them to get to know you; Matures you; Individualizes you; Sets you apart from the rest; Gives you a humanlike quality; Regulates your ego and give you the most awesome sense of being alive.
Move on is good advice, Laurie. Some relationships just can't be fixed. From my experience you will always care about them no matter but you do both of you a favor by moving on. I just had a good instant message from my daughter. She informed me that my ex is dying of diabetes and other problems. My ex has a year life expectancy left. The way I look at it is that we tried through two marriages to make it work and it just didn't. In the end nothing against her or me. What really helps is the new friendships that you make which have nothing to do with the last person you were involved with. Just look at it as a clean slate. Take all the positive things that you learned from the last relationship. Those are yours to treasure. Dump the bad experiences because that is just trash.
I would just say it was his way of dealing with it like you said. From your post it is evident to me that you cared more about him than he did about you. Just because you ended it doesn't mean that you got closeure. It would seem like you were replaced quickly. If I were you which I am not I would take a small time for myself before I got involved with someone else. Just a little time to sort out all of your feelings.
We worked 7 and are getting paid for 8. Our sign out sheet has to match the time clock so Lisa and I put time clock 6:10 and real time 7:10. We let personel to figure it out.
Amateur Radio has lost many frequencies. The ARRL attributes some of the loss to the none use of some bands. The ARRL is the American Radio Relay League. Some of the bands that were lost were bought out by cell phones. The FCC has done both damaging and good things for Amateur Radio.
I didn't know how to love you. My heart was just too cold. I didn't know how to touch you. My fingers were too bold. I couldn't even see you. My eyes were opened wide. I couldn't ever reach you. My world was guarded inside. I didn't get to know you. My life was about me. I didn't get to hear you. My thoughts were busy. I couldn't be your friend. My world was more than you. I couldn't let it all end. My world is always in danger. I didn't know how to tell you. My world is, "Hello, Stranger."
One of the things that aggravated me was passing the written but not the Code so I didn't get the upgraded license. Some think Amateur Radio will go the way that CB did if the Amateur Radio operators don't stay self-policing. I really was attracted to the 160 meters and 80/75 meters but really liked the 2 meters. The attraction for the 2 meters around here is that we have the repeaters and the difference of Tech-plus just Tech. The relaxing of the Code for just Tech so you can use the 2 meter radio brought in many to radio. Some operators are just into mobile transceiving.
I am glad the FCC has relaxed the old Morse Code requirements for upgrading past the Novice license. While Morse Code does has it lure for the Amateur Radio purist and I am impressed with those that can remember the Code so well in their heads I think the decision to drop the 5pm for Tech and the 13wpm for the General and Advanced. I am not sure if the 13wpm is still mandatory for the Extra or not.
I was wondering if there were any Internet users that used to be CB junkies or Amateur Radio junkies? Do you feel that the Internet really has that more to offer and if you do how come? I posted this on our State forums but thought I would post here, too.
Have you ever connected to someone over the radio waves? I have had the opportunity to have some interesting conversations on Channel 19 and was able to use side band to tune in for a more private conversation. At first Citizen's Band radio which used to be ham before the FCC changed it was good during the good sun cycle. To the discriminating user of radio for transmitting and receiving CB is just not enough. Ham radio has many more frequencies and you can legally transmit 1500 watts PEP. Thank God Morse Code was dropped for the acquiring of the the higher licenses. Shoot ham operators invented the web cam so to speak. Did you lose friends if you graduated up to the Internet? Do you feel that you have missed contacts when you switched from the radio waves to the Internet?
Good morning, Nene. I am going to have to buy another speaker set. When I was taking out the old desk the wire got pinch and clipped from speaker to the next. I connected it back together but it I still don't get sound from the left speaker. The desk I replaced the old one is bigger and looks better in the living room. I have hidden the rat's nest of wire going to all the peripherals. I have boards left over from the two window projects and need to trim the two windows in from the inside and outside. I am trying not to live like a pig, lol. I have to make a conscious effort to clean up after myself. I am taking it in stages sometimes in these whirlwind cleaning projects to just trying to keep it manageable when I don't have the cleaning urge. Not flaws, hey?
I prefer the old houses because they have histories. Some are really worth saving even though the repair costs can be high. It can be something you two can be proud of when you are done, Laurie.
Oh, I remember seeing a picture of those geodesic domes in Mother Earth News. I always wanted to build one. It comes in triangles and in crates. I got to watch one being built on television. Some people like to paint over everything or put walls up in front of fireplaces. I had a stepson who got to work for the Historical Society. He got the City's ok to do restorations. I thought it was cool the way they got to save the old houses on the Riverfront in Covington, Kentucky. Some lawyers had some money to restore the houses back to original conditions and make ofices at of them.
Good advice. I can't believe the builder of this house actually had to cut into the end rafter. It is amazing he didn't have one corner above the house. You would think 16 inch centers or even 24 inch center but this cheapskate had 48 inch centers, lol. I just kept hitting the wall assured that there must be a stud in there somewhere to hold the house up, lol.
Do you have any carpentry nightmares? Ever try remodelling only find there isn't a square or plumb place on the whole house? Old houses have a way of settling. We found that out when we tried to put a 3' by 4' window into 4' by 4' hole. Why would anybody put the original window and then board around it? Now I know why the filler business is so big. To cover boo boos, lol. How wide and big can you make trim before it is obvious you mismeasured? Finally got the windows in even it did start to rain.
I fell in love with Venus a long time ago. She came to my dreams; She cuddled. She placated my desires; She fed my ego. She nutured my mind; We huddled.
Someday you will find real love and know. You'll find a woman who understands you. You will forget about me and this window. She will delight you and you her, too.
I still dream of Venus and her ways. She so knows my mind and my heart. Love songs for Venus the radio plays. No offering too big; Love does its part.
I daydream of Venus and nightdream, too. She guides my thoughts and my dreams. She rules my heart; Gives me her honey-do. Her loves knows no bounds it seems.
I live for Venus and offer my sacrifices. Her love is like the morning in Spring. I comb her hair and polish her artifices. She gives me sweet love; Asks nothing.
I bet there are books on making yard sales work. I have been to some where it is like all baby clothes. I really like the ones with all the electronic gadgets, lol.
