Guess there isn't much more a gal can say. But you know, I see a lot of men at my workplace every day, all ages, all shapes and sizes, and many of them have very little money. Funny, most of them are married with loving wives and families. Wonder how that happened? No, seriously...most people in this world do not have a lot of cash...particularly now. Are most people single? I'm thinking there has to be more to love than just the money...
*To the powers-that-be ---> Oh, please, let me be right on this one point...* |

I've always paid my own way...granted, a simple life with little that I must have/do. I've got my own money - don't need some man's. Can't afford to 'keep' a man, but have never expected a man to 'take care' of me financially either. There is plenty to do around here that is either free or inexpensive...no need to spend exorbitant amounts wining and dining. I find nothing sweeter than a man offering to pump the gas for my car...he doesn't even have to pay for it! Just pump it. Now that is chivalry .
Also, I don't care how much money a man has, if he will still snuggle with me after 6 months of dating. Seems many men I've known/known of are only interested in the snuggling/cuddling stuff when the relationship is new. After a few months or so, sitting in the same room seems to be plenty close enough for some...well, provided the T.V. is on. But surely this isn't the case with all men? |

Listen and hugs. These were the greatest helps I was given.

I am so sorry, I can't help but cry, I'm so sorry that this happened to your mother. Remember her on Mother's Day. I only hope my mother sees the light someday, and I am always envious of those who have a great relationship with their mother. I want that and I need that. Thank you for your kindness. I will remember her on Sunday, as I do every day. Ma was an incredible woman - if I become half the woman she was, I will be proud. I was blessed. Still am. She taught me a great deal. I'm sorry you and your mother aren't close ...I hope that changes for the two of you someday. You will both be blessed should that happen |

My mother was the most incredible person I've ever met. I often wonder what she might have become had she been in a healthy, loving relationship. She was strong. How she managed to raise 2 little girls into loving women in such an abusive, negative environment is a testament to her strength, focus and loving heart. Smart. Although she never finished high school, she was a genius with math and very well read. Instilled her love of poetry and Shakespeare's works in me. Funny. She was great at making ordinary situations fun...found humor in everything - even my father! She laughed at herself easily. Loving. Not just toward my sister and I. She loved people, often in spite of themselves. A person had to work really hard to make it impossible for her to find something lovable about 'em. Generous. She never had much...not money or material things, but she did what she could for everyone she knew. Helped the neighbor raise his kids and run his house after his wife abandoned him and 3 kids. She took care of our house, his house, my sister and I, plus his 3 kids for 5 years, until he died. She took care of her mother and her best friend through their illnesses. She cared for each of them for years until their deaths. She taught me that 'you take care of your own'. She worked so hard. Cleaned house for people to make the money that kept us fed and clothed...and kept her own spotless, too. She knew just about everything about gardening and native plants, and she could tell the best ghost stories of anyone I know! She used to scare the 'willies' out of us when we'd 'camp out' in the backyard with her.
She was my best friend, my moral compass, my confidante, my favorite companion, and I don't think I will ever 'get over' losing her. |

Just getting over my 1st bout with the crap for this year. Taking pictures of wild flowers...must have knelt down on the dang stuff. First time I ever got it was from the oil in smoke from the neighbor's brush fire. What a mess I was...nasty.

Yeah, well it was late the other night. I was beat, but hadn't gotten around to making up the bed with the clean bedclothes. I threw the clean stuff onto the middle of the bed, wiggled into the middle of the mess, drapped a case over a pillow and slept quite comfortably like a baby bird in a nest. Um...this isn't the 1st time I've done that OMG!! You said bedclothes!!! I use the same term myself & everyone laughs at me!! I've always called them that!!! Glad I've got a buddy who says the same thing!!!!! What do they say about great minds? |

I think you've just maybe gotten used to being alone & no man to biotch about you drinking out of the carton, etc!! I think I've changed a lot being on my own too. For the first time in my life I find myself alone. Married when I left home & learning to live again!! Now, I can do whatever I please when I please!!! Go ahead!! I don't think it'll hurt!! It is kind of fun...but I used to be so organized and civilized...even when I was single. But it is kind of fun |
