I haven't seen some friends for quite some time now.

If your here please sign in...

And of course NEW friends are always welcome!

To address your original question...

Sounds like a TRIFECTA to me!

Footnote: Substitute "mommy" for "daddy"

I know you get it.

Chick,

My heart goes out to you and your son!

I don't know how old he is but John Lennon comes to mind...

Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monsters gone,
He's on the run and your daddy's here,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day in every way,
It's getting better and better,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Out on the ocean sailing away,
I can hardly wait,
To see you to come of age,
But I guess we'll both,
Just have to be patient,
Yes it's a long way to go,
But in the meantime,

Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is just what happens to you,
While your busy making other plans,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

If only our kids knew...

With love,
Pete

Like I said...Just another guy a little slow on the untake...

Imbrogilio,

Thanks for bringing attention to your profile!

If you didn't post the question, I would have never looked!

First, best ao all things to you and your lady!

Second, I too have been on a couple of dating sites. No offense to the
lovely women I have met (that special spark wasn't there)
but it has really worn me out. I was about to give up looking, too.
Satisfied with meeting, making new friends, and having a few laughs in
the process.

You have reminded me that finding a soulmate comes when the time is
right. You can force it.

Thanks again! And much love to you, your lady and your little
girl!

...seeing my boys happy, smiling and laughing...seeing my boys getting
into typical mischeif as part of growing up...and hugs, lots of hugs...

(brings a tear to my eye as well!)

I'm sorry if I got too heavy too early in the morning.

Don't paint with such a broad brush.

Only "hate" those that have done you wrong...the rest of us haven't even
been given a fair chance to screw up...

Seriously, as with anything in life, it often seems "ThEY ARE ALL LIKE
THAT!"

The fact is you need to check your "radar." Something is malfunctioning
and causing history to repeat itself.

Remember: the definition of insanity is repeating the same actions and
expecting a different outcome.

at the risk of sounding "cliche"...There are plenty of us nice guys out
here...maybe not a prefect match for you...but nice, honorable and
sincere, just the same.

Zap...

Your the best, and hard work will pay off. Sounds like your raising
great people.

Just need to be clear on one thing...

I want to be on the same page. To me, "single " parents...

1. may or may not have physical custody.
2. are continually and consistently involved in the lives of their
children, regardless of the "obstacles"
3. stay focused on their children and their needs,
4. try to emphasis the "other" parent's "good" qualities on a continual
and consistent basis.
5. try very hard to make the relationship about the "KIDS" and be a good
"mommy" or "daddy", first.
6. make it all about the kids not what's broken
7. sometimes have to eat a steaming pile of @#$%, and keep it for their
kids.
8. deal with the fact that the other person treat you as "deceased" and
has seen fit to isolate you from the daily happenings of your
child(ren)'s lives
9. need to seek information and communications about their child for
themselves. (very humbling and often embarrassing )
10. lastly, pray to God daily, sometime minute by minute, that their
efforts will all turn out alright and their children will see the
"whole" picture as the grow.

Remember, be the best parent you can be, love you children with all your
heart, protect them from all that is harmful, become the guardian of
their innocence for as long as you can, BE THERE, really be there, for
them and champion them in all they do. Be responsible for this life you
have brought into this world, and take all the responsibility, if
necessary, no matter how hard it is.

Only cowards walk away from something so beautiful, only selfishness
causes us to "play Santa Clause" and only immaturity causes us to allow
the "other" person (mom or dad) to block us from being a force in the
development of our child's life.

Peace to my "X" and may she have a happy life, be the best parent she
can and remember she didn't do this alone. Help her to recognize she is
not a "single" parent... I just don't live with HER anymore. Help her to
learn that WE need to be good parents, first, last and always...These
are OUR children.

Thanks for listening...

Sorry, just another dumb guy here...

But what's that got to do with your opinion on "hairy guys?"

Just trying to follow along...

SoulTears...

WHAT??????

Sorry...

I've heard of some women who do waxing, creams, shaving, etc... on their
man. Most times it's because they don't like their hairy men.

Native...

You wax your man's back and chest?

How do you feel about that chore and do you do it for him or for
you?

And while we're on the subject...How about men's chests?

I'd like to hear about the back hair...is it an issue? How do you feel
about guys with hairy backs?


I'll share something as soon as I get some feedback.

Think positive thoughts and good lucK!

Kim,

I hold you and Dawn in my prayers.

Dawn, stat positive and remember your friends and family are behind
you...

And your Guardian Angel is on your shoulder

Lord, bless Dawn and give her and her loved one's the strenght to win
this fight.

I have returned from a brief sabbatical and feel renewed and
refreshed!

Hi, Friends!

I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
