I rarely 'need' to be alone. the only time I can think of is if I'm trying to do something that requires all of my concentration...say, replacing those ti-ny-wee screws in a pair of eyeglasses?

About an 80% response rate. Have to admit I haven't done much blind e-mailing lately. I met some terrific people who e-mailed me, and am glad I responded. Still have a crush on one of 'em, but...

Hey, thank you! I am doing fairly well, actually. It's just the organizing stuff. But you are absolutely right, I need to quit looking at the whole. Breaking it down into baby steps. Shooting for finding the top of my desk today ;-)!

I kinda just want to be left alone from her completley, but i stil love her and it's hard to keep away. I guess she is just playing games? Some people simply cannot be 'alone'. When they leave a relationship, they try to keep an 'insurance policy' for themselves. Sounds as if she may be keeping the door open to return to you in case something (enjoying a single life or a another relationship) else doesn't work out for her. Do you want to be someone's 'insurance', or do you want to be someone's most favorite person? Seems like remaining connected to her is like picking a scab...it's going to take much longer for your heart to heal. |

It's been over a year since I left my 26 year relationship, and although I can function in my new space, I am just not as organized as I used to be. Anyone else find themselves with this problem?
Some of it (doing the taxes, managing the checkbook, paying the bills on time, etc.) are just chores I haven't done for years. Guess it's like juggling 3 pins and suddenly having a 4th added to the mix. Some of it is having too many choices, too much 'stuff', too little time, and doing things (moving furniture, etc.) by myself. Some of it is just feeling overwhelmed at times. Any suggestions for organizing a functional home office, tools and gardening supplies would be greatly appreciated. Any advice on battling the inertia that comes with feeling overwhelmed would be invaluable! |

I copied/pasted the quotes to ponder them further...but then again, my profile is too long, too .

Upon looking at different women's profiles, if I see certain words or phrases, I tend to pass them up. Here are a few: 1)I am very strong woman (to me, it means they have been threw a lot, so anything you say or do will piss them off) 2)I am very independent (well thats good, but as above, I wonder what they are really trying to say. I guess its not as bad as "I am very dependent" lol) 3)I am a professional woman (There is nothing wrong with having a "profession" you enjoy doing but...this could be a "your job better be as good as my job" statement. 4) I am straightforward and blunt. (How about just say your honest. Straightforward and blunt to me implies they will say rude things and think they can get away with it.) 5) I love to party. (well I do too, but when I read this statement, I picture a girl hoping from guy to guy in a bar demanding attention. Not sure why.) 6)I'm looking for someone not to break my heart. (I am too, but advertising it to me is slightly fishy. I have been down this road before with women, and a lot of the self proclaimed "heartbroken" ones will be the quickest to do the same to you. Can't think of any more right now. Oh, and don't take any of these personally if you have them on your profile. To each their own. Just thought it would be fun to see if people have their own things they don't like to see. 1. I am a strong person and spent 26 years with someone who was not. Don't want that again. Also, don't want to mislead anyone. If they are looking for someone always to be a 'yes' woman, that would not be me. I have been through a lot, learned a lot and would expect the same for anyone my age. 2. I am very independent. I'm not looking for anyone to 'complete', support or fix my world for me. I would like someone to share a life, be mutually supportive and to be a partner with me in this life. 3. 'Professional'? Pfft..."I just load the truck"...pretty much what all of us do, in one way or another. 4. Blunt may be unkind sometimes, but give me a straightforward person, and I will have someone I can trust. 5. 'Partying'? A red flag? Maybe...but may just be someone who prefers to go out rather than hang at home all the time. 6. Um...don't think anyone wants a heartbreaker. If there is a need to include this, maybe this person is still hurting from a past relationship? I'd be thinking more 'baggage' and less that this person would do the same to me. For me, Nascar, hunting, fishing and hiking...common interests indicate potential compatibilty...jhmo. |

My favorite 'first' kiss was a quiet, little after thought. After talking for 3 hours in the company of friends, walking me safely to my car and saying 'good night', he started to walk away. Before I could start the car, he was back at my window, gave me a light, sweet kiss and asked if he could see me again. Very nice...it gave me the sense that I would remain on his mind after I left. I did...he remained on my mind, too.

Humanism
|

I've never understood why a person's religious beliefs must be all-consuming so as to discount other spiritual/philosophical beliefs...and scientific theories or truths, for that matter. Why is it that many cannot believe that they may be both a Christian/Jewish/Muslim/etc. and a humanist? Why must religion and humanism be mutually exclusive? From what little I know about the major religions, it seems they all include principles which can be seen as being in common with humanism.
Perhaps the problem lies with in the 'my way or the highway', 'if not with me, then against me' or 'the one true salvation/religion' tenets of many religions? Shame...people really think a God would sanction this feuding among those he created. |

Like anything else, I guess. If it is going well, it has a positive effect...I feel optimistic, secure, content and focused.
But there's nothing worse than love that isn't going well...that can make everything ugly. |

When You're Different....

Kind of like looking for the proverbial 'needle in a hay stack'.
I e-mailed one gent for about 6 months. Seemed perfect for one another in so many ways. A terrific guy...one I will always admire and care about. Bright, artistic, witty, a tinkerer, like me. Problems? You bet...over 3000 miles between us, his reluctance to at least meet in person...no obligations, just a face-to-face introduction (ummmm...married?), and the fact that I love people and expect too much emotional, physical and intellectual intimacy in a relationship. Him? He likes his solitude. Prefers people to remain at a distance...like long-distance, thinks it inconvenient to allow people into his life, and would have thought me, as a mate and lover, intrusive. I gave up after letting that go. Quit looking. Luckily, I've found someone I enjoy being around. Is he the 'perfect' man? Nope. I'm not the 'perfect' woman, either. I've been told since childhood that I'm an 'odd little duck'. He seems to like that. So far, he & I both have been able to accept each other as we are. Hmmmm, a relationship in which both are able to accept the other as is...not so easy to find. I'm hoping... |
