I guess I'll have to forget those paremedics hands for a while. Love You have been so much a part of this place. I have valued your words greatly. You will be greatly missed. I am very happy for your turn in events. tesaz: missed your comments you don't have to be a rocket scientest either I enjoy your input here. 2uneek: man place a foot in the mouth please...... we need you men folk you know for the balance of this group and that goes for all you men folk you here.......... you know forgiveness does'nt come easy I hate it when I foul up something and bare those tiger teeth then I look back and think man did I say or do that. when I think that perhaps I hurt someone I want to make it better or fix it but......when you cant take back the hurt words or actions what else is there but to ask forgiveness.......and then learn try to change a action or way within myself........... but sometimes I get boged down and just go on this rampage against myself.........like chasing my tail or something......... just got to forgive myself to........the little things in life just come up and bight ya in the ass don't ya think?????? | |

You have more to offer than we mere mortal men could ever handle or deserve. Too often wonderful women sell themselves short, and regrettably, it's often because of some of the crap we guys have perpetrated on them in the past. (Notice I'm in full suck up mode tonight-lol). I could say you have done a great job of avoiding stagnation but it was impossible to stagnate in the midst of the malestrom you have been through. You have weathered it well and I for one am enriched to have known you.
Now suck it up  | |

| Quadragenerians 'n up- friendship? love? or just making it one day at a time? Posted: 11/9/2005 2:46:50 PM | passin I didn't mean to come across as being down on myself. Rather it's the realization that I'm just a human, not that different from any of you. Only thing different is the circumstances that I've been in but then we all have come through different situations. We're all here, sharing our experiences and all the human emotion. At times feeling strong and capable, at times weak and afraid. I'm as weak and afraid at times as any of you are. I do appreciate all the wonderful words, truly I do. For whatever it is that I can give any of you if it's encouragement, love, support I am more than glad to. I've learned and leaned on all of you, too. I feel more alike any of you than different. I know that I trusted God to be with me and bring me through whatever has happened and I will continue to. If you can benefit from some of my life experiences, I just feel that's God using me and all I do is submit to His will. I thank all of you for all the totally awesome and completely humbling things that all of you say. I am what I am because of my faith, it keeps me, sustains me and in it I am comforted, strengthened. And all of you have a large part in that. I will continue to thank God and all of you for being a part of who I am and whatever I'm able to do, for I never do it alone. Princess Bella I'm tickled to see you, love!!! | |

| Quadragenerians 'n up- friendship? love? or just making it one day at a time? Posted: 11/9/2005 3:47:51 PM | Good bye. Just wanted to stop by to say so long. To all my old friends that I've chatted with for so long, and to the new friends. It's time for me to move on. I may pop in now and then to catch up on the news.
A new part of my life is beginning with a super super man.
Ya know it's funny, I used to chat in the forums and have a fair bit to say, but now I read everyone's posts and honestly don't know what to say.
It was disheartening losing the 40 to 49 crowd thread, due to chatting. It's funny, from what I can see most threads have "chatting". Makes ya wonder why some get deleted.......anyway I'm not gonna cry about it.
I wish you all the best of luck in your life and search for happiness. It was a pleasure getting to know each and every one of you. And a part of my life I won't forget. Take care my friends. | |

| Quadragenerians 'n up- friendship? love? or just making it one day at a time? Posted: 11/9/2005 3:55:24 PM | What 40 to 49 thread got cut?
That is a shame when you look at some of the other God-awful, mean-spirited threads out there. It does make one wonder. Heck, if too much chatting goes on, then maybe they ought to create a new section in the forums just so people can do just that and not worry. It seems they only allow chatting threads for "locals." I don't care where you all live, you feel right around the corner from me . . . and always will.
OT: Friendship, love or just making it one day at a time? I've gotten all three here and now at home. My wife is my friend again, we have rediscovered our love, but we know with both my health and our past that we need to just take things one day at a time.
Take Care Tesaz. Many blessings to you, hon. You are a wonderful person.  | |

| Quadragenerians 'n up- friendship? love? or just making it one day at a time? Posted: 11/9/2005 5:00:32 PM | Thank you love for the kind words, and for acknowledging my post. I guess it was about 6 wks. ago the 40 to 49 crowd thread got deleted. It was up to around 120 pages, friends checking in everyday, supporting each other, much like this thread. Anyway, life goes on ha, but I do miss it, hasn't been the same since. I wish you and yours the best of luck and happiness and health. | |

| Quadragenerians 'n up- friendship? love? or just making it one day at a time? Posted: 11/9/2005 5:53:59 PM | Tesaz! Take care my dear! Don't forget how much you've helped others here, including me! Your presence will be missed! Good luck and God's Blessing be on you and your new love!
Or whats happening today that you need a little help with.
I have something I need a little help with. Actually it's been a problem with me most my life. When I am confronted with old voices with new faces I tend to drop back into old behavior patterns. Meaning, new people saying the same types of things my abusers in my childhood used to accuse me of.
I've moved past most of my abuse issues, and use my experiences I hope more as a source of help for others these days, but this one issue is my biggest downfall these days. If someone has some advice how to not drop back into old behaviors when dealing with old words once slung in the far past in today, I'd really appreciate the help. | |

| Quadragenerians 'n up- friendship? love? or just making it one day at a time? Posted: 11/9/2005 6:24:14 PM | tesaz- I wanted to say goodbye and thanks for your help. I am happy that you have found someone that you care for so deeply, that's one of everyones goals, may your desire for each other continue to grow
GL - I think recognizing the fact that you have the issue is the biggest step. you have posted many comments about a re-evaluation from somewhere in your past to now, maybe if you look forward to see where you can go if you work through these feelings it will help you to reach a new level...hang in there I know you'll do fine
It was a productive day for me, I have been needing one,good to see all the new people!
Looks like graduation day for a few... very encouraging seeing people progress, maybe someone should break out those cuban cigars and pass out some refreshments, lets celebrate! | |

Posted: 11/9/2005 9:08:15 PM | Wait, Wait clueless Newbie here ??? why are teaz and love leaving ?? would this not be a place they could enjoy together ?? I am putting it out as a general question kinda, cause I don't want to just ask you love or Tesaz your reasons, I don't know how to say what I'm trying to say. I don't want to put anyone on the spot, okay enough someone help me here ?? lol For crying out loud the cruise ship is going to be leaving soon, Isn't it ? !! I came in on page 30, 31, 32, some of the best reading I've done in a while. things were flying around so fast it was hard to catch up !! So I am really truly sorry that they cut your last thread, I really am but on a funny note I can't have imagined meeting you people on like page 100!! but I do wish I could have read it. Gosh long day and I'm sure tired, many steps today and some big ones, I have a three week training to do and well I ended up in the front row, first seat !!!!!! I am the back rower all the way. So who has to speak first, who's computer got used for the projector !! and not my choices, weird things keep on happening !!! but I felt pretty comfortable and will give myself a communal corona for this day! leafs it must have been an absolutely wonderful day that's like the biggie birthday!! and having your kids together, I'm jealous !! I can't thank you both Georgie and bucsgirl enough for getting me here and to having this little family to come and share with. I really don't feel so alone now. Sorry for the long winded posts though !! Gnite all | |

Leafs: Your only as old as you wish yourself to be. If you want to feel old you will, being you seem rather happy and vibrant, i dont think that will be an issue.
