yes, communication: A wonderful thing. bless her heart for taking the time and showing the kindness to relieve your fears

it is a sign of strength (IMO) to have a conscience to feel guilty when we think there is cause

therefore, what a selfless gift for someone to lift that burden. as much as we may not want to get back with an ex....to allow each other to heal and to help each other to heal is a great way to show love - even if it can;t be the romantic kind. I just love your story and hope I can be that strong, kind and human given the chance

I agree

usually neither party was a bad person in failed romance; rather simply there were compatability issues

sometimes we all act like jerks being that no one is perfect....

it's how we learn and grow from our mistakes..I think people who have been in a failed relationship or two can be excellent partners

when we have learned from that

even if u were a jerk a time or two, you have learned and are wiser now. I doubt anyone really wants to be a jerk.

I can agree with that

*thinks abuot replying but then sees dirty new car*

agree - it's the fastest way to get ME to exit out the bathroom window...lol

Happy Birthday redlace!

and you are who to tell me what road to take?

why do you presume you have a right or the authority to do that?

who says my road was NOT the high the road? you?

who are you? why is your opinon valid? I certainly do not think it is based on the rambling nonsense you usually post...lol

there is nothing wrong with what I said. if u don't like it respond to someone else

Just because you don't like my answer I'M bitter? that;s laughable

clearly it is the OP who is bitter and he needs to be called on it

you have no business attacking me for my opinion. there is nothing wrong with what I have said. Any further personal attacks from you will be reported to the mods

I about the last person on here who is bitter. that is fairly clear from my posts and long term friendships on here (that does not include you BTW)

thinking that some people should mind their own business and do their own homework

if they want information ask the appropriate people

do I look like information desk??? lol


I'm talking about my personal time - not work....

good...

chill - hey it's Saturday

lovestruck baby

SRV

obviously I am not trying to hide my past relationships. I even have mentioned them on here now & then. but I agree they are not a suitable topic for the first, the second, or ANY date unless there becomes a real need to know....based in minimun on that fact that he & I have been growing closer and it looks like it is getting serious


even then it's a need to know basis at MY descretion

and i grant him the same

men are equally responsible for making a relationship work. perhaps "men" are doing something that causes women to behave in an undesirable way. perhaps men need to work harder to keep their women in love with them

I suggest starting with eliminating thinking that like shown in the OP

I think of it as infinity...the day we understand how the brain works we will also understand how much more there is to learn and so it goes.......


I think we can - do better - I think one thing that makes us uniquely human is that we can take our actual (versus perceived) potential and re-form it, change it, build on it, or in the worst case, destroy it. We can do the best we can with what we have ... and build on that. it's potential, becoming realized and a new potential forms

free will & potential, intelligence and motivation, a time to understand and a time to grow. I hope we never stop growing

oooooh daddy

now that sounds naughty

do I hear your mom calling you to mow the lawn and take out the trash???

I sent techno his work schedule for my car waxing....but I haven't heard back yet....prolly went to sleep

wonder if he'll weazel on me

HA that is my self portrait .....when this one is not


lol

g'night gotta get some sleep!

I seldom do this kind of thing but one day the opportunity and the situation just CRIED out for a good prank (jesus forgive me now)

I was doing laundry in the basement of my old apartment building 3 or 4 years ago (where I lived before I moved to Columbus). Across from the laundry room lived this guy (J) & his brother. they were nice to me and we were acquaintances. My friend had a good heart but some of his family and friends were ....suspect (good a word as any).

The day I was doing laundry J had other family pull up in this car and park it right up next to the building under my bedroom window and just outside the laundry room (I lived above the laundry room)

The car was leaking gas so bad it was just running outta the tank and you could smell it. it was a dangerous situation, but they were all drunk and yowelling and wresting...etc. So I figured if I said anything about the car, they'd get mad at me and/or ignore me

Sooooooooooo.............

their OTHER friend who was also my friend (D) was talking to me in the laundry room while these dudes were whooping it up

so annoying. I wanted that car out of there and for them to STFU for crisssakes it was a sunday, and D pretty much agreed with me

sooooo........

so I told D that I had already called the fire dept and reported the car & license plate BECAUSE I KNEW that D would go straight to J and tell him (guys are gossips)....which is exactly what happened

D went straight to J and told him that I called the fire dept & that they were on the way. well...you never saw such bedlam....they believed D (prolly 'cos they were drunk)...

J's cousin or uncle or whatever he was came running out of J's Apartment yelling that he had to get the car outta here right now before the cops came blah blah blah.....and left in a BIG hurry

best part...I just stood there folding clothes the whole time. the only thing I had to do was tell D that I called the fire dept...hilarious


to this day they do not know I pranked them.

I think D figured it out, but I said not a word....WIN...
