I just read that he passed...I know very little about the pros and cons of the different OP's etc...but very sad none-the-less...and so soon after resigning. I was actually talking about his innovative skills and vision, not so much the different OS's and such. I hear ya...I was just trying to say how clueless I was about it all...been listening to a lot of the talk...a true visionary indeed... |

Ignorance and those lacking in common sense bother me more than spelling and grammar. Spelling and grammar can be fixed relatively easily but you’re either born with common sense or you aren’t. What does common sense have to do with this topic? Unless you're talking about using common sense to proofread what you've written, so that others can understand? btw singme...while I am beginning to understand this is just your m.o. I found this to be a little too rude. |

But once you noticed such a thing , the person should be corrected because may want to learn they may want to learn but will they want to learn from you or care to have you point something out to them at that moment in time?....if you have concern for their well being, their future, have a rapport (yep had to use spell check on that) with them and can approach the subject with the proper amount of respect and sensitivity, go for it but if you are just sick and tired of hearing poor grammar or slang or street talk and the feeling strikes you to correct someone out of that frustration, then it is better left alone. |

my education suffered for many a reason..I have spend the whole of my adult years trying to catch up...literally. I often don't see or hear my own or other's spelling or grammar errors as many others do...For this reason and because I am far from perfect...I tend to be quite patient and understanding (especially in an informal setting) about any short comings in how a message is delivered and try to "hear" what is being said...
even in a business setting..I have found a person can be quite knowledgable about their respective job and not be well spoken...but I will not loose respect for them because I recognize that I can learn something from them. with that said...I do believe the era of everything being instantaneous, fast paced etc...we have certainly lost many qualities that used be held in higher regard....the well thought out written message...is one of them....the sitting down in each others presence and chatting face to face is another. I have to remind my grand-daughter on occasion...that texting is not always appropriate because we loose the nuiances in the voice and body language which are essential to productively communicating..very important when dealing with sensitive topics, issues, concerns. |

Silly little romance...

I close my eyes for what must have been only an instant of time only to open them again to find myself in an entirley new surrounding. I feel calm however, serene if you will, despite the fact I come to realize I am lying in a strange bed. I seem to just be awakening...I turn over to find him there lying next to me, the man of my dreams...gazing adoringly at me..."good morning" he says...

if I were interested in a fling...maybe..but for me I would have to completely forget myself ...who I am in my little corner of the world and just be a woman wanting some company, not that there's anything wrong with that for sure, but as fun as that might be for awhile I would know it to be and consider it to be temporary...for it to be anything more would involve the consideration of many more variables than the age difference alone....soufie nailed it..all things being equal...maybe.

I Do.

The long and short of life. One day you say I do, life becomes,, me and my wife. Two little babies made together, thinking our love would last forever. Me on my job behind the wheel. Her playing daddy, Doctor, Nurse, and Mom. Busy everyday, but filled with little thrill. Then you find its just not what it was, Your no-longer the one, she still loves. A marriage held together only through a phone. To many nights and days, left alone. Convictions,,turned into conflictions, Watching our babies while she went out, holding them as my tears ran down.. Knowing we had to divorce, THIS wasn't a living choice. We battled for the kids, she won the fight. me being gone, to that judge,, was just wrong. My life ended,,in my mind that day,,, confused,,lost,,worried,,--suspended. Took my sons every weekend,,we had fun. Sunday nights,,our time together all done. they would cry,,and want to stay with me. I fought back my own tears, I'd smile and act silly, to help relieve their fears. A year later she showed her true color. Asked me if I still wanted custody. She signed then over, I regained my sanity. Now thirty years later, I never did hate her. No regrets,,but she did lose, their respect. I thanked God then,,and everyday.. For giving the three of us,,The love we share today. ![]() ![]() |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So, now I was thinking let’s have some fun with it..What happens next? Or what happened before?…let’s weave us a silly little romance….anyone want to play? I’ll start…Feel free to embellish. And as I looked up…there he was, standing there, just standing there on the far bank of the river, gazing out over the waters with a hint of desperation in his eyes. It was as if…as if he were searching for something or someone. I had to blink my eyes a few times to be certain it wasn’t a dream…I mean; did I not just wake up? My gaze was fixed upon him in disbelief. There HE was, just standing there, his shirt off, his hat in one hand and a saddle, a saddle of all things, in the other. Just as I had seen him a million times before. As his image slowly shifted upstream as I floated down our eyes met and in that very instant the hint of desperation changes to recognition and disbelief, his head tilts slightly to the side…he blinks as though he is asking himself…did I not just wake up? |
