Do you remember when the party lines were in Arkansas. We had this one lady who was on the phone all the time. Whenever you would pick up the phone she would say excuse me I am talking. I always wanted to say to her heck lady you are always talking, lol. I am so glad they finally got the private lines in. It was just like Lum and Abner's Jot Em Down Store, lol. Trying to remember how many rings you had to answer to. My older sister would just pester the poor lady to death, lol. Of course my sister, Vickey would call up people's phone number put at random just to start stuff. I was with her this one time she called this one lady and told her husband was at our house. I almost freakin died of fear. What if you call one of these ladies and they come to our house. Oh, my sister was a riot, lol.
I was going to call my mom once and picked up the phone and she was on the phone at the same time. Freaked me out, lol. I was just going to call you I said.
One can never be too sure. It is good to savor a relationship and learn as much as uyou can as just friends before moving on. It is good to take your time before moving forward into tht e relationship. But one must be willing to take risks, too. It may not work out. Things may not as you thought they were. It is good to ask as many questions as you can. One can learn from past experiences but there will be new experiences that one has never even encountered, yet. One can not throw caution to the wind but one can not ride the fence forever either unless one is comfortable doing that. Lonliness can make one be hasty.
So are you thinking of getting the hell out of Dodge, lol? Not sure how far Dodge is from Goodland. I lived in Wichita for five years. Windy place. I lost a good Stetson hat there when the wind caught it and it went under a Volkswagen. The bug flatten my hat, lol.
I get this Dash Newsletter and I really like this guy's work.
True and Real

You can’t fake passion. It is the fuel that drives any dream and makes you happy to be alive. However, the first step to loving what you do is to self analyze, to simply know what you love.
We all have unique talents and interests, and one of life’s greatest challenges is to match these talents with career opportunities that bring out the best in us. It’s not easy — and sometimes we can only find it through trial and error — but it’s worth the effort.
Ray Kroc, for example, found his passion when he founded McDonald’s at the age of 52. He never “worked” another day of his life.
John James Audubon was unsuccessful for most of his life. He was a terrible businessman. No matter how many times he changed locations, changed partners, or changed businesses, he still failed miserably.
Not until he understood that he must change himself did he have any shot at success. And what changes did Audubon make? He followed his passion. He had always loved the outdoors and was an excellent hunter. In addition,
he was a good artist and, as a hobby, would draw local birds.
Once he stopped trying to be a businessman and started doing what he loved to do, his life turned around. He traveled the country observing and drawing birds, and his art ultimately was collected in a book titled Audubon’s Birds of America.
The book earned him a place in history as the greatest wildlife artist ever. But more importantly, the work made him happy and provided the peace of mind he’d been seeking all his life.
So true. Like kids that you two might have had together. Whats weird is when long after my mom and dad split up and even remarried to different partners them saying to me that you are just like you're mother from my dad and you are just like you're dad from mother. I wanted to ask, "Well, is that good or bad since you two got divorced?" My dad and step were both drinking buddies who spent time in Viet Nam. Dad was in vehicle recovery and my step dad was in the motor pool. They would both be at mom's house and both forget about mom and both get plastered. I would listen to their war stories. Mom would watch tv and was glad the two drunks would leave her out of it, lol. I could see where they both were good friends. My grandmother swore one of my sisters was my dad and my mom swore my one sister was my step dad's. My one sister was even curious but mom decided it. My dad said divorce was a family tradition. My ex said that she knew of this one couple that had been remarried several times. I got this Christmas card from my ex this last Christmas that said, "I still think of you." Man did that screw with my head, lol, because it was seven years after our last divorce. One wonders but I know she is doing great at her new job and is really happy. The kids are grown up and her mother is finally off her case. I wish her the best.
I used to miss the arguments. Later, I even thought of some good rebuttals, lol. I married mine twice, lol. There were good times in the beginning. After a while I even forgot about the bad times. Then I remarried her then I remember why we got the first divorce, lol.
Try a bowl of queerioes. Just pour milk on them and they eat themselves, lol. Cheer up; It will get worse, lol. Oh, well good luck with it. I am glad it is getting better for ya.
