Sorry no personal cuts intended but meeting someone immediately sounds more like a person trying to make a booty call. Or just desperate. I feel like your life should be busy enough that just talking to a stranger out of thin air and going to meet them immediately seems impossible. I like doing spontaneous things with people I know but bringing a total stranger into my life is just not worth the risk of endangering even my rather plain life.

When I think how alone I feel right now, grieving the passing of the Princess, I can't imagine betraying someone by accepting their comfort on false pretenses. To me that would make the pain even worse.

If they are local I would probably wait until I had talked several times on IM and then on the phone. I would not give them a phone number that would track back to my home address or tell them exactly where I live for well over a month. Maybe not until I had actually met them in a very public place. It is real easy to create a persona on line and in person if you don't get a good vibe then it is pretty much done. Once you meet on another public date should be when you start exchangeing basic identifying info. Require a drivers license or state ID. They don't have social security numbers but you can find out if they have a criminal record. If they do not want to; forget it; they are married or some other baloney.

And by the way this goes both ways guys. Don't be suckered by a pretty face or the illusion you can protect yourself from a female. Not many male victims want to admidt when they have been assaulted or other wise ripped off so some women can repeat making men victims over and over before they get caught. Usually they have kids and accomplices.

Way to go! Have a blast! Sure you will be a great coach. Volunteers truely are God's hands on earth. I am sure you are much appreciated by many. Good Luck!

Yes sometimes so much it hurts.

Michelle Elizabeth and Michael Wayne

Good Luck! Like to have you around in good shape many more years to come.

I could be way off but if part of it just feeling like you won't find anyone I just have to say that not only is there always someone for everyone that where there is a desire for love there are also many chances over time.

I feel like if you choose to be with someone, anyone, because you don't think you can get better you are not doing them or yourself any favors. Life is too short to settle by selling yourself out.

The loneliest place in the world is being in the arms of someone you know you do not love or doesn't love you.

If you are in a relationship and things are taking the preverbial lows as in highs and lows all relationships go through I would say hang tight for awhile. Maybe make a special effort to fall in love again like the circle of love all relationships are.

It is really easier to be alone than look back at your life and know you should have lived it differently.

With sadness we said fairwell to the Princess tonight. A remarkable woman who spent her life with generoaity and grace for all.

I am well known for my conservative view on what is in good taste for pictures and I have seen Sunny's photos and they just fine.

If a guy wants to be a perv a woman can wear a barrel and he will get all hot and bothered and acted like well a pervert.

It is alright to be offended about vulgar IM's. Only thing the more you say about it seems the worse it gets. Beter to just report the ones that cross the line and ignore the others. They never learn so the first off center remark just shut them down and block them. I like my friends to be able to pop in and say Hi so I just decline anyone else.

Don't forget to get the number for HMO for out or area care. I would put a tube of ambesol in the medic bag.

I just wish everyone would start marking other and be done with all this.

Taking care of yourself is fine but some of that care can be a choice between paying the basic necessities or not. You fella's make a lot more than most women.

I think any person who doesn't occasionally feel incompetent is deluded. No one can be great at everything all the time. There has to be someone who could do it better so I am satisfied I do most things well enough for the people who depend on me.

Not saying it to be mean but if you cut this drama queen out of your life she will probably hardly notice. If she can't get you to be her victim she probably has any number of other people she can drive up the wall.

I think there is little or no threat that this person will actually kill herself. If she does it will be an accident where she is throwing a tantrum which you can't control.

It is wonderful to be the kind of friend that doesn't cut and run when needed most but sounds like this person is not really friend material.

Friendship denotes a relationship of respect, shareing and contribution from BOTH sides. Friendships should not grow from someone always being the one to need the other.

You have made a terribly mature step deleteing one toxic friend and I can see the difficulty of deleteing a second but my guess is with your great heart the nice friends you already will come forward now that you have these pain in the necks out of your life.

Good chance by adding a slightly higher standard of behavior required in your friends it will be a lot more fun having friends and you will enjoy being their friend. Hang in there!

I would just take a deep breath and relax. You never know she may be as blissful and happy as you are. If she is not answering your texts there could be a very simple explanation from a phone malfunction to an operator error (forgotten charger). Las Vegas has some great things to do; includeing great bridal shopping that she may not want to tell you about just yet. Think positive! If it is ment to be it will happen.

OMG Not Fair! I am trying to avoid thinking of food and you all are giving me the Munchies!!!!!

It might be tough with back problems but sometimes the drain in the bottom of older refrigerator with the drain trays will develope mold in the humidity of summer and breed fruit flys. Take it out, clean, and maybe the hidden breeding ground will go away.

I am begining to wish for the days where you could belong to private clubs where people who have such heathens would not be allowed to belong.

What shocks me is it doesn't seem to matter when you go out either. I am amazed when I go into resturant late in the evening and still see small children being dragged around when they should be home comfortably asleep in their own bed.

Especially when it is not necessary to have children behave so badly. I have taken small children to a resturant many times and all you have to do is remove them from the environment if they can not behave. It is part of the responsibility you take on as a host or parent and it is very effective.

What is really scary is that many resturanteirs will not evict a "bad" character because most people will not stand up for them in court and they can not afford the nuisance suites.

Dark so sorry for your pain. The helpless feeling is pretty common.

Looseing someone is not a pain that goes away quickly so you will have plenty of time to be a comfort for your loved one.

Right now she is probably so stunned she won't remember who is talking to her right now. The people who really count are the ones that are there for the long run after all the usual stuff that happens up front.

Take your time and write her a letter and go when you can. Lot of prayers will go with you then and through these next days.
