Probably isn't a typo...it's been used at the end of more than a few of this person's text messages. Was feeling really out of the loop and like a bit of a blockhead. But if you savvy folks don't know what it means either, I don't feel so badly. Thanks for trying to clarify!

Topic:
Age differance
|
|
I usually tend to use an absurd analogy, like "Would you date someone who had the wrong shoe size, or who had the wrong license plate number?" But that's only because, to me, a person is more than just a set of statistics. I prefer and am attracted to men who are around my age. It has to do with having similar life experiences and goals. Seems to me that a person's shoe sixe or license plate number have little to do with either. Perhaps it is the 'stage' my of life, I don't know. I do enjoy good friendships with women who are half my age, and I enjoy talking with yournger people, both men and women...but as a love interest? A lover? A mate? It would be a very rare individual who is not only a great deal younger than I, but of romantic interest as well. |

cell phones

Ah yes the days gone past , rotary phones, no cable, having to get up to change the station on the tv & when you got sent to your room there wasn't a damn thing to do while you were there. 
My father thought of me as his T.V. remote...oh, and no such thing as a 'private' conversation when I was a teenager, either. My father was hanging on every word.

Yeah, I've checked on-line, too. Closest I could find was 'tol'/'talk out loud'. I'm stumped.

Topic:
cell phones

There are many times when I wish I weren't so 'connected' to the rest of the world. But I still maintain some behaviors/rules from the old days. Unless I fear an emergency, I don't talk on the phone during meals or when out with friends or a date. Also, I do not keep my cell with me at all times...but I do check for messages frequently as there are a few folks who are ill and depend on me.

Gotta tell ya, I'm nearly functionally illiterate when it comes to interpreting text messages...
What does 'gtol' mean  ??? It was used at the end of the message, much as one might write 'be well' or take care'. So is this an acronym for something that would annoy me or make me happy? Or should I be blushing ?

I'm generally optimistic, but my positive outlook can be severely dampened by allowing negative people to have an influence on me and my life. Not a problem so much now...I cleared 'em out of my home.

Is it wrong?
|
 If you know that someone has a crush on you, is it wrong to hit on their friends in front of them?
Seems it would be knowingly hurtful at best. Guess it depends on your definition of 'wrong'. |

Topic:
Can you love someone,
|
|
Maybe not 'in love'...but in the past, I've found myself caring a great deal for someone with whom I corresponded for many months. I wonder, though...was I interested in this person - who he really is -or interested in my own perception of who he is? I've never seen more than a very tiny photo of him, never heard his voice...had to ask myself, how could I have possibly known him well enough to care?

How do you deal with grief?
|

Thankyou. Thankyou for your compassion, your empathy...your hearts. It can feel at times, we are alone in these harsh times, of personal challenges...emotion, in the form of words, by people who have never touched you, walked alongside you, sat with you...reminds me, I am never alone. Thankyou. 
No, you are not alone...

How do you deal with grief?

What do you do? How do you put your grief aside to support someone else? ***************************************************************************** I used to be pretty sorted with this stuff... I'm gutted...I got nothing.... Two kids, and a woman left standing alone...just like that, their daddy dead, her husband, her rock, her love, gone. The pain is physical....I'm furious, I want to tear something to shreds, or someone! And I'm no good to anyone like this....and shell shocked people keep gathering here... I am hiding in a corner... what the f*ck is that? I'm furious, at myself... suck it up girlfriend! ********************************************************************************* How do you manage your grief? In my darkest, deepest stages of grief, I felt all that you are feeling...the physical pain, the anger, the helplessness and the guilt. Like I was on a rollercoaster rolling from one emotion to the next...none of them good. Thought I was losing my mind. The biggest comfort to me during that time did not come from those who 'sucked it up'. Maybe it's just me, but the most comfort came from those who shared my grief...those who echoed my feelings and were able to put those emotions into words for me...those who cried with me...those who said, "I know..." It helped me to feel less alone and to believe that my thoughts were real, honest and very sane. Perhaps you, too, are comforting more than you know just by sharing in the grief? Sending a hug, my sincerest sympathy and some validation to you and those you care about who are grieving...I know what you... |

I've known some to be turned off by it. I've also encountered some who want a woman to handle the crap for them...the emotionally difficult stuff. But I know a lot of guys who wouldn't want a woman who is weak or needy.
