Well if Coco manages to get on grounds maybe he can get to the fountain and add to the living waters. Or maybe just pee on the grave of the one that orchestrated his demise.

leave it to DMiller to get us back on topic. NYUnknown, not seeing a picture on GS, since you have to obey your own rules I guess I will have to vouch for you. Yes your basic Itallian stallion. lol. I personally don't want to date an IM. So proximity would definitely be an issue and the internet makes that hard. Heck I personally am not looking so if IMs work for you all then go for it. I didn't realize GS had IMs. best to all you singles looking for luv

What a "lucky" girl

chas you are a hoot. It's a package deal though.

Hmmmm, sartori. I wonder if poodle meat ever ended as dinner for the way corps.

Now Rocky this one got better with age. Thanks for giving me something to have sweet dreams about tonight.

I don't know PAW that well but I feel he's tried to be honest and respectful. At least in the situation in which I had dealings with him.

See now there's another one of those sexy men that aged well. He is still looking good to me. Not that I would want to date someone that could be my dad, plus I already claimed Mr. Pitt. But 007 still will turn the women's heads.

Thanks for checking in and letting us know you are doing well. Hope the wife is doing well too.

Ok girls he's mine. I already claimed him. He was a hunk then and is a hunk now.

After reading my post I hope you all understand I wasn't referring to PAW. I was somewhat agreeing with PAW's assessment of the situation and would have been thankful if someone had prepared me for what I had to deal with in regard to this individual. Truth is you got information about someone because you asked for an opinion of someone else. What you do with that opinion is your business. If later you disagree with the opinion that was given you, again that's your business. It doesn't make PAW a bad person just because he views this person differently, or has had negative experiences with the individual.

Have an awesome Birthday!!

WD cute. really cute. Another thought here too is the dangers of those posing to be someone they are not. Remember the blowout with WatersEdge? I am sure there were others whose actions weren't placed on the public forums. The same happens on other dating sites as well. It's just that here we tend to trust more than we probably should.

I only know the guy based on a brief interlude but from my assessment he is a little dillussional. I don't think he would be a danger to anyone, but he lives in a world in which only he shares. Oh and he does tend to stretch the truth ( and I am being kind in that statement )

PB, I think it's a nice idea since many of us out here are ex wayfers and who would better understand us than another ex wayfer, but then that could pose a whole different set of problems. The only other issue would be that we would be making connections with people that potentially live on the other side of the country and that would make it really hard for two people to hook up. I tried the long distance thing a time or two and with 3 kids in school I personally am not very mobile. And what well established man or woman would want to make a geographic change. I guess that's why I left the world of online dating. (Heck I left the world of dating altogether. But for a totally different reasons.) However when you look at Chas, who does have a success story, there must be a way to make it successful. I imagine for folks who don't have a lot of baggage in their lives it might work.

Joe, of course you have to pay the bills and work a job that brings in the lettuce, but NEVER give up on that vision. It's never too late to realize your dreams. Go for it! When you find the right mix you will know.

WD, was that up at the H@g@rs. Wish I were there, I love S@r@ and Kev!n. Next time you see them give them my love. All of the the H@g@rs and the Guig0us.

thanks TLB, you are sweet and the prayers are much needed. I started taking cod liver oil with A and D to straighten out my immune system and the health food store ordered something called Padma for me. It's supposed to be another remedy and I am looking into the gluconutrients. I joined an MS forum/group and I am trying to take in all the information I can to find cures for this disease, or at least prolong the inevitable.

or maybe a big long nap. lol

So many great posts here, I just don't have time to respond to them all. BB you are a trooper and you have a lot of courage to come out here and lay all you have been through out for everyone to see. In the last 24 hours I have had my two oldest sit with me and cry. It broke my heart that they were so upset about me having a disease. My oldest says it's just not fair that one person should have so much sickness in their life and although it may not be fair I told her it was the way things are. I think she got really effected by it when her shopping spree for her NY trip this summer wore me out to the point I couldn't continue with her and had to let she and her little friend run ahead and when I caught up I would see what they selected pay the bill and sit down again. I guess she really wanted me in there with her. That's when she realized I wasn't as strong as I used to be, every August when we did our back to school shopping we made it an all day event, this time I couldn't even last 4 hours. So that night she bawled. Last night it was my son's turn. When I asked him why he was crying he said he had a cold and a really runny nose. You know those little boys. Can't admit they are crying. Then he asked me if I was going to get to see him grow up. I told him absolutely and with the meds today I would probably get to meet my grandkids. He felt better after that and told me he prayed to God that when his family memebers died it would be in their sleep. Heavy prayer for a 10 year old but he's been through a lot with me and watched me beat the odds everytime. He's got the experience in life that this type of prayer would seem natural to him. I pulled him in hugged him and explained to him that I would see him grow up and become a man. As the evening progressed we talked about how long we wanted to live. He said he definitely didn't want to live to be 90. I told him me neither. I would just be a human raisin and that he and his sisters would say when is that woman going to die. All the while I would be saying, "Sonny, I just want to see my great grand kids grow up." He cracked up and dozed off to sleep. I guess he got what he needed to feel secure again. My youngest hasn't dealt with it so well, she's just acting out and misbehaving worse than ever. Makes it hard to be understanding in that situation. Somehow I will get to discuss this with her. At 7 it's a tall order to handle and when I had the tumor in my heart she was too young to understand how serious it really was.

Well Highway I will say this in my little girl's defense. She is actually very good at doing her own laundry and keeping at least that nice. Now to get her to put the same care into the rest of the house, and maybe throw in a load or two of laundry that's not hers. lol WB it's nice to have someone understand. It's a little tough keeping up with it when I was healthy but now that I am not up to par it's even tougher. It looks like I will have a bit of a break next week and hopefully I will have a little extra energy to get some stuff done. We shall see. Work doesn't have a new contract for me yet. They want to keep me in KC which adds 3 hours to my day. So far they haven't found a new contract for me so I will only have to make that trek once this week and work from home the rest of the week. That is if there is any work for me to do. So a little lighter on the stress next week. And maybe time and energy to boot. Yeah!!!! Got some health food store stuff today hoping it helps with the MS. The clerks looked it up and got me what was in the system and ordered me a specialty item. I am not waiting for the treatments. They will come but in the meantime I will do what I can.

Tom - I think I made a mistake I just posted from where I was and didn't even realize I was in about the way. Sorry Hap - all good points. Finger pointing isn't going to solve anything and as dooj stated neither will a forum. Lies were perpetrated people were used and chaos insued. It's not normal life but there are those that get their jollies in seeing others in conflict. I don't know if we can attribute that alone to the events of this week but we can sure put that as one of the causes. All in all the most important thing is communication, I will tell someone how it is and what I think, but when I am cut off unable to do that and am forced to allow people to believe a lie perpetrated about me, well I find that maybe the association isn't healthy. Open communication in all conflict is necessary. I know this is vague to you but I think if we can learn anything from the events that effected some of us this week is that it is important to hear each other out. Get all sides of a story before a judgement is made and then as adults sort through the process and quit the finger pointing. Another lesson was that you just can't go on hearsay, you have to get the facts. So if you all can learn anything from my experiences this week it is just that. lol. (((((Grease Spotters)))))

Highway, I do get so embarassed about my house and tend to make excuses when people come over, but I know that my "friends" do judge me because I have caught the backlash of the gossip. It's not filthy dirty I do clean the places we eat a couple times a week and have the kids on a chore schedule so that can do a half a$$ed job on the rest but the problem is that most of the time it's the 3 of them against me. Sara is almost 15 and you would think she would be more responsible but she is a little lazy, Scotty is 10, and all boy, he has to feel sorry for me before he will help and I won't play the pity role. So he just sits in his room and does nothing until his chore is done. Bethany is 7 and she does a great job for someone who's 7 just not my standard. So I go nuts because my house isn't what I want. And the kitchen floor needs to be done daily. It seems to be covered in some kind of goop or mud every day. I just don't have the energy after a day at work, squeezing in school, and homework to make mopping a daily task. And the kid's bedrooms well right now I just close their doors. If they don't care about their personal belongings then why should I go overboard. Except it's hard to get into their rooms to put their clothes away, and I feel like putting clean clothing in there room is only a waste as the clothes end up on the floor (clean clothes) as they rip them out of their closets and drawers to decide what to wear. It's bitterly frustrating!!! argh!!!! lol BikerBabe - Thanks for sharing your experiences with us, that took courage to come out here and tell your story. You must be an amazing woman to keep going as you do and you are a beautiful woman. Sorry you have had husbands who didn't understand the seriousness of your illness. Makes me think that it's probably better to not entertain a relationship with a man from here on out as I may just fall into similar accusations when truth is I just want to collapse with exhaustion. I will continue to pray for you. Hang in there and let me know if there is anything I can ever do for you.

Happy birthday Darlin!!! Have a good one.
