The day has passed, unnoticed, between the sheets.

Good question!!

I think AK should close it's borders, secede from the Union, and start making better use of the resources that are bein squandered elsewhere - resources put to better use right here AT HOME!!

Wonder what our law(benders) would do about that ...

Hmmmmmm....!

You'll Never Be Alone bts

Nah, not a monster truck. A friend of mine bought a Suburban and put a 10" lift on it so he could display his choice in women on the bumper.
I thought it funny, myself. So I made him a t-shirt with the first part of that on the front - and the rest on the back. :)

He loved it.

I said, "I do not fear those pants
With nobody inside them."
I said, and said, and said those words
I said them. But I lied them.

LIFT IT: FAT GIRLS CANT JUMP!

Hey X,
I think most of those boats are docking in Whittier now, arent they? The Princess line??

Cant remember now ...

Yokoke,
All very good advice, but the missing word is 'passion'.

pas·sion /ˈpæʃən/ –noun
1. any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling, as love or hate.
2. strong amorous feeling or desire; love; ardor.
3. strong sexual desire; lust.
4. an instance or experience of strong love or sexual desire.
5. a person toward whom one feels strong love or sexual desire.
6. a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything: a passion for music.
7. the object of such a fondness or desire: Accuracy became a passion with him.
8. an outburst of strong emotion or feeling: He suddenly broke into a passion of bitter words.
9. violent anger.

The lion's share of society use that word in reference to things more basal, but it isnt that at all.
Passion is vitality. Passion is a zest for all things - LIFE. Passion is a firey intensity that only the creative mind can tolerate - they are the ones who know how to interpret true passion in ways the layman is able understand.

They feel everything at a depth that would nearly kill the simple - who cover the concept ignorantly with a blanket called 'crazy'.

Being with someone like that is to be carried along the crest of an ocean wave - while burning from the soul.
Survivable, when understood. The important thing is to remember the space. There must be plenty of space. :)

Dragon, I have a son-in-law who is only a few years younger than I am. When I am with them, I am reminded of what love is.

Go with your heart - the rest really doesnt matter. This is what everyone's trying to tell you.

All the best ...

HAHAHAHA Gypsy ...
I didnt do it. That's all I know. I have been blamed, but I know the truth.

I am thankful.
Period.

Finally, I feel confident in hope for the future. :)

I'd have to agree with you there, aje. I still have a 17 yo and 6 yo at home, and I must keep them in mind when dating. It is hard at first - when you feel every fiber of your being longing for companionship and hoping against hope that this is surely 'the one'.
A parade of possible lifetime partners cant be anything but bad for your family. Besides, you risk THEM becoming attached to someone YOU may not feel a connection to.
Remember your mistakes. Avoid new ones. Preserve the love and respect of those that remain by your side. Be wise.

I believe you are right, unsure. I have recently had to break off a relationship with a man who claimed to love me - but would not allow me to enter his life. From the beginning, I was skeptical, but because of lessons learned during my recent past, made the decision to wait and see what would happen. Months went by - we'd meet at my house about once a week - between times, calls were rare and dates were rarer. I finally had to accept (inside myself) that what I was hoping for was NOT the same thing I thought I had.
Thankfully - a thing I know I will thank the Good Lord for every day for the rest of my life - He has sent me a miracle. A wonderful, loving, generous, compassionate, forgiving, honest and sensitive man who is eager to become part of all I am - including my 7 children. I have no idea what I could ever have done to have deserved this kind of love, but I know something precious when I see it.
BDF, DONT compromise!! As my mother used to remind us when we were kids .... If there is doubt, it MUST be wrong! I think this simple adage can apply even in matters of the heart. Please, please, take the advice of those who've offered. Concentrate on your children - meantime, learn of yourself, what you want, who you are, where you want to be - they will lead you if you trust them.
With hope ..
B
