Joanne, I can't argue with you there. I wento the company picnic today. I totally pigged out and sat with some friends I hadn't seen in thirty years. I seen a high school friend and all of her relatives. Her mother, who the same age as my mother used to like dancing with me. She wanted to know if I would come over. I gave her my phone number. The people I saw were all married but gave me some very warm hugs. It felt really nice. My one friend was telling me about this dancing place not very far away. I don't dance very well but I do like to dance. I had a great time even though the traffic was hard to get through. The music was deafening but we managed to communicate.
A feeling of how one views from a distance of what one sees to be there. A time of growth is indicated though protected. Being part of yet not fully belonging.
How close can one be to another and it not be a date? How far away can one be to another and it is a date? I passed by my church and waved to folks going in. I got the intersection and turned back because I had forgotten my tickets. My dog licked my hand as I grabbed my tickets. I drove to Walmart to pick up a camera. I met a lady at the desk. Our eyes contacted as I said I needed help. I said I like the disposable type. She said she did too and showed me where they were as she leaned toward me smiling. She said if you like taking pictures the better deal is for two. I said I had extra tickets and she said she had to work. She said her father used to work where I still do. We kept talking as I walked away. I found the picnic and sit down by what I thought was a stranger only to find I had went to school with his sister. His mother came by and said she liked dancing with me. I filled my plate three times as we talked and took pictures. My school chum sat down beside me. We talked of old times and new. Her sister I once knew had a daughter who leaned against me comfortably. My friend's daughter came to sit down beside me. We all had a good time but had to leave. Again we all hugged and exchanged phone numbers. As I left the park called Point Return, I thought yes, what a nice idea.
Thank you, Nene. I sure love it here. The pressure cooker turned out to be a candy store for me. Thanks for the feedback. It is good to hear this place helps us so much. People like to be with people. It is nice to be around human beings.
Went to college at 44. Should of went much younger. But you can teach an old dog new tricks. I tell my dog not to come to me and he doesn't. I tell him to come to me and he doesn't. He has learned his name, though. I regret not being able to be real in my fantasy. I regret not being able to tell my friends from my enemies. I lost a lot of friends because I didn't know they were friends.
I believe the forum changes people if they pick up the good stuff laying around. I look at as a lunch counter. I slide my tray through the line and get some of this and some of that. The forum as a collective is a lot more mature and has a lot of stuff that I need. The forum completes me.
I have known women who have chewed out their husband's boss because the boss was asking to much of the man. I have heard the boss come up to the man and say, "Would you get your wife off my case and take some time off so she will leave me alone." Hell, hath no fury like a woman scorned. I know I have runaway from scorned women, lol.
Rilly, I will be glad when you get a picture. I couldn't take not having one on here. I have been branded before but I have to admit I like the Xfiles. I like the X profiles, too.
Good one, Rilly, will have to remember that. Star, what about rules that are meant to be broken and the idea that there is always an acception to a rule? I am a rebel by nature and a nonconformist at heart.
A cold shoulder, someone who won't talk to them, wanting to be free again because the person they loved was replaced by someone they don't know, they don't liked being controlled, they found someone who likes them better, faded love, stress at work followed by stress at home, the feeling of needing to escape, too much overtime at work followed by long honeydo lists, the feeling of having to conform to be somebody they are not, they changed from the person they were and the person they were with hasn't, pressure at work to work long hours followed by pressure at home because you never want to do anything as a family at home, being tugged at work followed by being tugged at home and the feeling that you are going to split apart, fear of telling someone exactly how you feel because you fell they won't understand, running away is easier to deal with than staying to argue all the time about stuff that never gets resolved, expectation that a newer person may fix problem and help one they were with since the runaway would be better for the person they feel they have to runaway from.
