I had a good childhood. It's memories like that I will never forget....even when I'm old and senile.
Or, there was the time that my dad got a hold of some very good peach moonshine....had peaches in the jar. All of the family used to get together at the community building, which was also part of the church (set beside the church) for Christmas Eve lunch. I was married at the time. My husband and dad took the jar out to the church and all my relatives stood outside the doors hitting the jar. Some of my uncles, deacons in the church, caught them a good buzz....that was a first time I'd ever seen that. We all got a good laugh watching all those old men hitting the jug and it turned out to be one of the best Christmas get togethers.
The same uncle that makes the wine gave me a quart of eggnog and moonshine for Christmas one year. You know I'm not much of a drinker, but that stuff was awesome! My dad got soooo mad. He wanted to know why my uncle gave the jar to me and not him. I don't know , but it sure was good!
My uncle used to make his own wine. His CB handle was "Wine Maker". After he had made up a batch he would invite up all the family members that played instruments and make music and drink wine. I remember this from when I was a little girl.....a great family get together!
Where in Virginia were you from? Did you live near an area called "Shooting Creek"? It's near Ferrum, VA. That is the moonshine capital I've been told.
Get a dog.....seriously. That's what I did and I'm quite happy. Every time you start to getting lonely, just get another animal. After a while you will have too many animals to notice anything else. (See my profile for newest addition to the family)
While I'm not looking for marriage at this time in my life, I'm not going to say that I won't ever get married again. I'm not against it, I just feel that people rush into it too quickly. I like to take things nice and slow....really get to know someone and them know me. This is one reason why I've taken my time and not really dated anybody. They all seem to be in a hurry....like their biological time clock is ticking and they need a baby maker or something.
Although I love my children dearly, I don't ever plan on bringing another child into this world.
I think I have finally found someone that is on my level and they have the same mind set as me. They just want to hang out and have fun.....get to know one another. They are not expecting anything in return.
As for cohabitation......power to all of you that want that. I will not go there again. I won't clean up and live with someone unless I am stuck with them for the rest of my life! I like for them to return to their home.
I think so. Whenever things start to get really crazy I look to see if the moon is full....and it usually is. I used to work as a CNA in a nursing home years ago. When the full moon came around things got really crazy in there. There was no telling what was going to happen. Us CNAs did a lot of running during that time...running away.
I have learned to just say "thank you".....even if I don't agree or understand. If a person has given you a compliment it is because they have seen something in you worth commenting on in a nice way. Take it! It may be the only compliment you get that day.
HECK! My ex was like this and he was an atheist! He was a total control freak!
When I left him I didn't know what to think, how to feel......I had to learn how to think and live for myself once again. He had made me feel so inadequate for so long.
I re-discovered myself after leaving him. He still tried to control me and put me down, long after the divorce. We had a child together and that made things hard, as well.
Chalk this off to a learning experience, pick yourself up, take some healing time and move on with life. He soooooo did you a favor by ending the relationship.
I'm hooked on the Blackberry's. I just got a new one. It's like having my computer with me all the time. I don't usually carry my phone on me when I'm outside unless I'm out hiking or riding horses, but it's always with me when I leave the house.
Well just maybe you guys can get it fixed up and drive it down my way and camp out. I have a huge front yard in the woods.....well it's a pasture now....but plenty of room if you don't mind the horses peeking in.

A jeep....will climb anything and never wears out.
