sweetowen - My youngest loved the movie It. About 2 years after she first saw that movie, the fear started. She still loves the movie, but can't watch it now.
The human mind can be stranger than fact or fiction.
My youngest daughter has suffered with coulrophobia (fear of clowns) since she was little (she is now 24). No known explanation (bad experience, etc); she just is. She hides from clowns when they go by her in a parade and if one walks in her direction, she's liable to deck him/her if they get too close.
sweetowen - Horses were her (and my) life. She was a trail boss at a riding stable. She took care of 35 horses (clean, groom, tack) and cleaned the barn before the day started. She'd spend 8 hours a day in the saddle, feed the horses, then come home and take care of 15 of our own horses. Did that for 3 years. She was quite a girl.
My middle daughter used to show up 3 hours early for work every day (6 days a week). When her boss found out, he asked her why she did that, especially since she didn't get paid for those 3 hours. She didn't want him to know how much she loved her job, so she just told him that she had insomnia.
I was talking to a drug company rep in a doctor's office one day. He told me that my daughter's migraine meds cost about $8 to manufacture a one-month supply (including packaging). I was ticked. We were paying in excess of $400 per month for her migraine meds.
Thank heaven our doctor at the time had an entire storage room of samples given to him by drug companies. When he wanted a patient on a specific med (especially if they had to pay all or even most of the cost themselves), he'd fill a bag with samples whenever he could so you didn't have to pay for them so often.
Actually, I do enjoy the cold and snow. I just happen to like KY and TN better than PA. It's time for a new start for me and I might as well make that start in a place I'll enjoy.
I am hoping to relocate to the Edmonton/Bowling Green area at some point. I've always loved that area. It's just one of the many possibilities for me. I'm also considering parts of TN. I've always loved those 2 states and look forward to a nice place in the country to enjoy the rest of my life.
It's not just guys who love hats/caps. I think I own 4 pairs of shoes, but have an uncounted number of hats/caps. When I leave the house, I usually have one on with my pony tail hanging out the back. Although I do wear my cowboy hat with my hair down.
And once you get to be my age, being a tomboy is a deal breaker it seems. My tomboy daughters (in their 20s) have no trouble attracting men. I'm not sure why older men don't appreciate the likes of me.
I do believe in love at first sight. I married my ex exactly 3 weeks after we met. We were together for 23 years. If multiple head injuries (his) hadn't interfered, we'd still be together.
Will it happen for me again? Who knows. It's not probable, but anything is possible.
No excuses, Larry. I'm just too trusting and wear my heart on my sleeve. But I'm too stupid to give up, so I'll keep my eyes open for him.
I'm way too shy to start a thread. I have enough guts to handle horses that weigh more than a ton, but my guts disappear when it comes to starting a thread. Go figure!
Oh Larry. I'd love to find a nice guy and give up my forum addictions. It's been a lot of years (more than 17) since I enjoyed the warmth and closeness of someone special in my life. I'd even throw away my cloak of invisibility for something like that. But after failing to find a nice guy for the last couple years, I've decided to prepare to be alone. I won't like it, but it will be easier on my poor old heart.
Men are like parking spaces. All the good ones are taken, and the rest are handicapped.
Hi HL! Thanks for the welcome. I'm already addicted to the forums on POF. Don't know if I can handle having the same addiction on two sites. It won't be easy.
Thanks jeepers! I've been on POF for more than a year and am still shy about posting in their forums too. Hermits aren't known for being particularly loquacious. But maybe I'll give it more of a try.
