Lately just crazy dreams, I could give Steven King a run for his money.

Great thread # 1, I think one of my baggage issues is after being in the bar and restaurant biz for 22 years and watching a small percentage of people cheating on their mates trying to get it through my head that most people are loyal and honest with their partners and not looking to jump in the sack for a quickie after a few drinks. Like Elvis used to sing "suspcious minds".

This winter I watched a man use his credit card to rent a condo for a homeless veteran for a week during the coldest time of the year.

I rarely switch I am a creature of habit.

I agree with Joe,exercise is a great way to relive stress, plus as you age you are physically able to enjoy life. On the other hand after working out its possible to get run over by a truck so I guess it comes down to fate..lol

Turned the AC on today and slept hard...fully rested now.

Yes, and I am planning to.

I am thinking I had to many hot peppers on my salad.

Should I take a sick day? No get your azz out of bed and in gear.

Hey I just got the letter confirming that we are in the system.

Dead tired, tons of overtime at work, its hard to get things done but I do love the paychecks.

The Who, won't be fooled again.

I do both, I have a beard but I have to have it trim so I shave it underneath and on top, I cannot have it all scraggly.

Hello Maria,It might be smart to remove yourself from this stressful situation and focus on yourself for awhile.No man should put hands on a woman and your son in law sounds like he has control problems and I am sure he will get worse if challenged.Focus on things that make you happy and try not to blame yourself for the things that bring you stress. God loves you and your little dog and I like the others, truly hope the best for you. I am sending my prayers your way. Stay strong.

I wish she was here already.

No.1 if I am reading this correctly or maybe understanding your thoughts in a different way then I apologize, but I see nothing wrong with you being experienced in love and life taking a little while before you settle into a deep love.Why the rush? If it's true love she needs some patience. You work hard and long hours and also have children in your life who need your attention also. That is a lot to juggle, also the real test of true love is when the initial infatuation wears off. It is obvious that you have feelings with this woman you describe in this scenario, maybe you need to drop your forcefield a bit and let this women in before it's too late. it's a double edged sword Either way but really isn't that what love really is? I hope it works out for you my friend.

Working the night shift.

Welcome young lady, and good luck in your search.
