An amazing journey..... Posted: 8/7/2007 6:07:17 PM
First... congrats to my dear friends Wabbit and Hunter.. can't wait to make the toast on your special day.. to wish you much happiness, love and that everything wonderful always comes your way. As far as a man in my life.. Men are not a necessary part.. They are in my life to compliment my heart. To make me feel loved and cared for.. To feel safe and secure. I know that all those things I can live without But they are so much better when shared with no doubt. Besides I truly need a man to kill spiders like no one else can. to change light bulbs and fix leaky faucets. to remember to change the oil in the car and snuggle next to when storms arent so far. And of course men are good at fulfilling a need that just cant always be done by machine. If ya know what i mean. I love you wabbit and wish you all the best.. and of course Hunter.. from me to you.. thank you for making her smile again.. no one else can do it like you.

When the words just come........ Posted: 4/25/2007 6:00:24 AM
Ok.. poetry for your children.. taken me a bit.. but this one is for my new baby girl.. she is perfect in everyway.. (so far.. cant wait for the teenage years.. lol). I am not a poet.. but I found this poem.. Author Unknown that made me think of her. To make a little girl, God spilled out sunshine. It pooled beneath His Hand to form a smile; her eyes He formed from dewdrops in the morning so sadness could just linger there awhile. He knit her frame together with a spring breeze so in her every moment there'd be grace, and warmed her heart with kindling made of kindness so all would see the caring in her face. And then He wrapped her gently in a rainbow, spun for her spirit-beautiful to see! And said, "Whoever looks upon this little girl shall know, deep in their hearts, that they've seen Me."

22 days to go....Wabbit is off to Bama.... Posted: 4/23/2007 5:55:48 AM
Just for you Wabbit & Hunter... I read this poem a very long time ago.. but it has stuck in my mind. I always thought if I ever remarried this would be perfect on an invitation. (Oh gosh did I use the "M" word.. arghhh, boy I am sappy this morning.. lack of coffee I think) Also I don't know the poems title or author.. if someone does please let me know. Real Love... takes more than flowers, means more then beautiful words. Real Love... means keeping promises, holding on when you don't want to, being strong... so that others may rest. And as time and change swirl around us, the love we share.. stands quietly in the midst of our lives, Forever beautiful, Forever real. luv ya Blush

what is everyones opin on tattoos? Posted: 4/20/2007 6:40:15 PM
I think getting a tattoo is a personal choice, I got mine because they mean something to me, whether or not other people like them really didn't influence my decision.. you either like me for who I am and not because I have or don't have tattoos. Will I get more.. the answer is yes.. does it bother me that people don't like them or approve of them.. no. But they do make great conversation pieces..

Sex every night....good thing, right? Posted: 5/16/2006 5:49:33 AM
When I was in a relationship we always made "us" time, I know it sounds kind of corny but a relationship is hard work and we made a schedule and we knew we could look forward to our time together so whether we needed it or not it was every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and if the mood struck us on a different night even better BLUSH

truth about love Posted: 4/26/2006 10:47:50 AM
I think if you go into a relationship knowing these things or if things happen as life does while in the relationship.. Yes I am willing to compromise.. I have done it in the past and I will do it again the future.. Jobs come and go, people can get fatter or thinner, people even get ill and are faced with major challenges, you never know what will happen tomorrow.. but people in general do not change.. you fall in love with the person not the possessions, you love what is on the inside because the outside can always be altered in some way.

Do you want to be like your Parents were ? Posted: 4/25/2006 10:52:47 AM
YES I would loved to have had a long lasting relationship like my parents had.. and right now it is sad to see my mom alone after my fathers death, but I know she wants to find companionship but she keeps looking for a man like my father was and unfortunately he was a one of a kind. I was married for 11 years before my divorce but the divorce was really the best thing that ever happened to me a person and as a mother, but I still have not given up hope in finding the kind of relationship my parents had.

What peaks your interest in a mate... Posted: 4/22/2006 4:52:51 AM
[Take a look around, notice the same faces day after day, week after week, month after month? With all the potential dates here, whats the problem? Its not rocket science.] Joe.. I am using benefit of the doubt here.... giving us fishers a swimming chance that we all are not as you say we are....perhaps they havent had any dates yet.. that might be the problem.. or perhaps to busy in the forums to live a real life.. or too afraid to get past the computer or life in general is too busy.. I know my schedule does not always coincide with someone elses.. especially due to the fact that I work shift work.. but I have managed to meet a few people and well just not sparks.. not because I know there are better fish in the pond. I just know I havent found "the ONE". No one I have met has been what I am searching for in a mate.. perhaps he does not even exsist because I have set my standards and expectations so high that I will never find him. BLUSH

^^^Joe Schmo... not all online dates fit that mould.. not all of us jump from fish to fish seeking a bigger better fish.. perhaps this is your experience being an online dater yourself, that there is always something better out there so why settle with the fish you have got.... not all people online daters or not are like that.. it is unfair to assume that we are. So Joe Schmo...we can then "assume" that if one of us fish were to date you that you would always be looking for a better fish then the one you are holding??? Blush

Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all? Posted: 4/21/2006 6:44:02 AM
Yes I actually did meet someone without a pic.. but this was many moons ago when I was first dating after my divorce (2001).. People really didnt have scanners, digital cameras etc... The meeting was great and we ended up dating for over a year.. and he met me sight unseen as well.. so I guess you sometimes just need to take that chance... Ya never know.. it might be the perfect fish at the end of the line and if it isn't you can't say you didn't try. BLUSH

Kids - too funny not to share Posted: 4/19/2006 4:42:54 AM
For those with No children- this is totally hysterical! For those who already have children past this age, this is hilarious. For those who have children this age, this is not funny. For those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning. For those who have not yet had children, this is birth control. READ to the end!! The following came from an anonymous Mother in Austin, Texas: Things I've learned from my Children (honest & no kidding): 1. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep. 2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite. 3. A 3-year old's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant. 4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42-pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room. 5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way. 6. The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan. 7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh," it's already too late. 8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it. 9. A six-year old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old man says they can only do it in the movies. 10. Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old. 11. Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence 12. Super glue is forever. 13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water. 14. Pool filters do not like Jell-O. 15. VCR's do not eject PB&J sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do. 16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes. 17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving. 18. You probably do not want to know what that odour is. 19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on. Plastic toys do not like ovens. 20. The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time. 21. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy. 22. It will, however, make cats dizzy. 23. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy. 24. 60% of men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

Ever have a really BIZARRE meeting? Posted: 4/18/2006 6:57:45 AM
I guess boys will be boys.. but that seems a bit over the top. Never have experienced something so bizarre but close.. and it is rather distrubing.. maybe he is hiding something like a kid in a candystore but with no money.. he wants it but cant have it. Maybe he is married and has been lying and just wanted to check your friend out. The 3 guys definitely have issues by the sounds of your story.. or just get their rocks off tormenting women with their mind games. Question to ask.. after everything was said and done.. Did any of the 3 Barrily's even offer to buy you or your friends a drink?? Blush

Video gamers: losers or big kids? Posted: 4/17/2006 6:03:50 AM
I am a gamer.. I only got involved in gaming because my ex was a gamer.. unfortunately he could not play the game and realize the amount of time he spent playing the game.. be was obsessed with just hitting another level, or completing another quest... and well because I wanted to spend time with him .. I made the decision to join him and I honestly wished I hadnt .. maybe if I persuaded him to do other things then perhaps our relationship would have been better. He also got my sons involved and now it is very difficult for me to break them of this bad habit.. there is so much more to life then games.. and it is not easy to pull a teenager from it. Blush

Being abused because of pets? Posted: 4/6/2006 7:01:57 AM
Unfortunately this truly does happen.. my girlfriend, whom i love dearly had 1 son aged 2 at the time and one mutt - Sammy a 57 variety mutt, goregous little terrier mix. Well to make a long story short.. she left her very abusive husband, she didnt work, didnt own a car, only have the change on her husbands dresser. Her own family was no longer around (only child, deceased parents) She packed a bag for herself and her son and Sammy's dog dish and walked 14 miles to my home, I was at work so she couldnt call me. I found her on my doorstep all battered and bruised, she didnt know where else to go. (we live in a small town, not much in the way of help for battered women, this was in the early 90's). I took her in and about 2 hours later her husband showed up at the house. I wouldnt invite him in, he called the police, he wanted the dog, she said no, he would hurt the dog. The police made her hand over the dog or they would take her to jail. I told the cop, I was going to call my lawyer before the husband took anything.. but it was too long he called the dog, big lard butt cop in the door, Sammy ran out side and right in front of everyone (thank goodness my sons were not home) he scooped up the dog into his arms and snapped his neck.. and then pointed at my friend and said next time it will be you. Everyone was freaking out. The police arrested him, he got a fine for uttering death threats, nothing for killing Sammy and the story didnt even make the local paper. It really does happen and it breaks my heart. I know now here they have a local people to take care of the pets if battered women go into shelters, they are all volunteers and take care of the pet until the woman can take the pet back.. the program is called "SAMMY"S SAVIOURS" started by my girlfriend of course.. I am so proud of her. BLUSH

ok i must confess my favourite outfit when i was 8 was one similiar to the one the bionic woman wore (gawd I wanted to be just like her)... one piece jumpsuit - navy blue, zipper all the way up the front, red and white stripes up and down the side.. i thought I was so cool and I never wanted to ever take it off, ever.. well will just say that i probably 3 sizes too big to be wearing it anymore but it was my fav outfit.. that was until my older cousins (gotta loved em) teased me constantly about having a bionic wedgie.. whice of course I had no clue about.. so I told my mom and for some unknown reason I never did see the outfit ever again.. lol (thank goodness for moms who care.. lmao) thanks Blush

Totally unnecessary.. but I am truly flattered.. I would do anything for you and your kids.. I will always be there for you and you know that.. no matter what we may not always agree on things, but that is what makes us true friends. I trust you, I believe in you and I know no matter what you will give me your heart and soul in any decision, opinion or simple smile. I loved seeing your kids smile, I loved that we had fun.. life is too short not to have fun.. A very simple ICECREAM SUPPER - the very thought of having ice cream dinner is exciting in its self.. Our kids were excited at just the thought of something so simple.. life is about the simple happinesses.. the big ones are just for the moment.. but the littles thing create memories. And I am sure your gut is still appreciating frozen gummy worms, with chocolate sauce, bananas, chocolate brownie/ cookie dough heavenly ohh so yummy ice cream.. with whipped cream, sprinkles, cherries, mini brownies, strawberries, melon, watermelon, animal crackers, caramel topping, nibbs, carabury minieggs... omg my stomach is turning once against at the thought of actually eating it... but omg we had fun making it.. lmao. I will forever remember never to eat your daughter cherries either.. lol. or when they all laughed .. omg i found an animal cracker at the bottom of my bowl, and my gummy worm is frozen solid. Those things they will never forget nor will I. You have always been there for me, we have grown so gracefully old together, every memory I have with my children in some form or other involves you and your family.. it is awesome. Every tragedy in my life..(too many to ever mention) you held my hand, and told me everything was going to be ok... now it is my turn to hold your hand and tell you everything will be ok.. there will be bumps but that is what I am here for (thank goodness i have first aid training .. lol ). Well girl you inspire me.. I heard that somewhere... lol.. There are different kinds of friends in this world.. and I am your forever friend.. We will be old and sitting on a porch swing watching our grandchildren playing together on the lawn I love you sis.. you are so special.. never ever forget that.. never forget you are strong and that I admire you, believe in you and believe in yourself. All my love forever and a day. OMG YOU ACTUALLY REMEMBERED THE ACTUAL DATE OF MY BIRTHDAY... I am so very impressed Blush

parents to a tennager Posted: 3/13/2006 10:18:29 AM
I have 2 teenaged sons (13 & almost 15).. and Blessing on the man that has to meet them for the first time. But as I recall when I was a teen... I also thought my parents didnt know anything either and that I was just so much smarter and knew everything I needed to know. I look at my sons and wonder why my mom just didnt lock me a closet during my teen years... SO i must agree with ASSETS52 as well.. I love them dearly but cant wait for them to move out BLUSH

Happyland / Dramaville Posted: 3/12/2006 10:39:31 AM
^^^ Midland Girl.. wow amazing insight and yes self-sabotage really is key to walking that fine line between Happyland and Dramaville. For Jugger.. You said about my post about validation.. I didn't mean it in the sense that the person needs to be valided for how they look or for personal reference.. but more the sense of emotional validation in terms of the relationship.. it is nice to know when you love someone that they love you back, that there is some sort of emotional validation, I dont think it has to do anything with "lack of self-esteem or self-confidence" it has to do with you love this person and they love you back and are willing to show or valid it. Yes it is also true that we tend to throw in wrenches into seemingly perfectly purring motors.. but the wrench it there for a reason.. not everything always runs smoothly.. on appearances and on the surface it appears looks to be perfect but underneath that seemingly perfect surface lies deeper issues.. and sometimes both people are never on the same path.. always encountering detours, mountains, wrenches .. our own personal demons or as Midland Girl stated.. SELF-Sabotage get in the way of true happiness.. because what you consider happiness is probably not what I consider it to be either. So we can continue to believe that we are happy with your lives, never have any drama, but are we truly living ... honestly enjoying life because in real life stuff happens everyday that is unexpected, i like to call them speedbumps of life.. the good stuff, the bad stuff and everything in between. I think some days I would love to be able to walk that thin line between both towns but I know that it never happens for very long life has too many twists and turns to keep walking straight all the time.. besides how boring life would be without the drama we deal with on a daily basis. Good luck I honestly you hope you find that place called Happyland because when you get there let me know the directions because I sure would like to visit it but I dont think I would ever like to live there.... Drama makes life real. BLUSH

Happyland / Dramaville Posted: 3/12/2006 7:34:35 AM
Here goes my 2cents for whatever that is worth nowadays......... Dramaville as you would like to call it is a place I like to call Reality.. it is the real world where people feel real emotions, have real thoughts, and discuss everything under the sun... of course it causes drama... life is very dramatic.. unless you are a recluse and a hermit and have no physical contact with other humanbeings there will always be some degree of drama in ones life. Drama thou takes on all shapes and forms.. sometimes we create our own drama and other times it just finds us... As far a Happyland is concerned it is just a fabrication of our hopes and dreams of a better place to live.. it truly only exists in our minds eye... I dream of this place often where everything is perfect.. I am perfect, my friends and family are perfect, I have the perfect job, relationship, home and everything is happy.... but then I wake up from this dreamy state and realize that nothing is perfect.. there is no perfection and no true happiness.. Happiness is a state of mind that is at times very difficult to achieve.. we all want to be happy... unfortunately life has a way of letting us know that it is only an illusion. Dont get me wrong.. there is happiness in dramaville but with true happiness, drama is always waiting around the corner to rear its ugly head. Jugger.. we have never met, I have listened to my friend praise you and tell me what a supportative person you have been to her over the past few months... I also know your opinion of me is solely basis on what she has told you about me and in all honesty I trust that everything she has ever told you has only ever been the truth. I am not afraid of the truth but sometimes the truth hurts more then anything... and when one is prepared to accept the truth and trust the honesty that the hurt fades... but sometimes it never goes away or fades.. it is the drama we create in our own lifes that causes heartache and pain, I know that we sometimes look for validation in our lifes not for the drama but for reassurance that we are on the path to Happyland.... we dont know if we are headed in the right direction or not, unless we ask.. and of course men never ask for directions, but women will stop at every gas station just to make sure we are going the right way.. it is not wrong to ask if we going to same destination and it is very nice to know that both parties are going to the exact same place because sometimes, we both have to travel different roads to get there and my path and your path are never the same.. your might be a 2 secound jaunt across the street to Happyville, where as my path might be over Mt. Everest... So one must always look at the little picture inside the big picture to see where the other person actually is on their journey...which no matter how hard we try we always end up in the same place .. Dramaville! There is no Happyland, it is just an illusion created in our minds by listening to fairytales about that happily ever after stories... there are no princes that are rescuing fair maidens and having that perfect fairytale life.. it is sad but true.. So I continue my existance in Dramaville not because I want to be there because that is where real life happens.. real emotions, real love, real hate, it is where reality happens and personally I dont want to miss a moment of the drama, my life wouldnt be the same with out it.
