I'm a city boy, too rural for me but they have a nice horse ranch near
their property.

Yep, I have ex-inlaws in Augusta. I've been there.

I miss coffee and coke, can't have caffeine anymore because of some
heart trouble, no chocolate either, sniffle.

needagoodlaugh,
I think I've drive by your way off the interstate before. That was
years ago when I lived in Atlanta.

Thanks for the kind words. I can't eat chocolate any more or I'd join
you. How about I grab a bowl of Jello?

Make that less than a few hours, that must be my big flaw, I don't
proofread.

I guess this is a good group of people to share a whine with. I have
belonged to three sites like this one. They are good places to build
character and learn how to take abuse. I came here looking for a better
quality "someone" than I meet every day. But that isn't going to happen
because no one here will know the warmth of my smile or the kindness in
my voice. I rarely if ever meet a person that I don't make a good first
impression on. I could probably walk out the door right now to find a
new pleasant woman in less than a hours who would be happy to go out
with me. But on these sites it's barracuda time. You'd think I was a
leper with a hunchback or a drooling troll sitting on a park bench like
Aqualung. At least this place has decent conversation on the forum.
Thanks for listening.

I have been working on taking people for what they are instead of having
expectations. Most people are not really bad, just under-evolved so to
speak. They don't know any better than to be selfish and thoughtless.
Love them anyway.

Yes, saw the mini-scene at the end of the credits and it gives you an
idea of what may be coming in a possible sequel. I loved the movie but
could have cut it down to a good hour and a half. I went on a double
date with my daughter and both of our dates fell asleep.

After my younger daughter came to live with me her mother cut herself
out of her life completely. Can't say that my ex is better off, she
struggled with depression for many years. Some people have to help
themselves. Her attitude was always support me while I shred you and if
you leave me I'll just die and drag the kids down with me rather than
make a life. At least now almost two years later she has a job.

Well yeah, I was on a "routine" traffic stop where it took four cops an
hour to search my car when I finally smart mouthed one of them and he
handcuffed me. I spent the night in jail. I got harassed by the cops
for having long hair and loud mufflers for years. I have three friends
on probation now and that system is just broken, run by sadistic people.

Great thread. I use Open Office and Avast. Avast rocks. I have the
Ubuntu CD just haven't gotten around to setting up a partition for it.

It has a cool looking interface but for now I'm saying no thanks.
I like to stay a year behind on upgrades so they can work the bugs out.
Microcrash has built in internet activation for their software so piracy
isn't going to work. My ex just bought a new computer with Vista and
hates it because none of her software works right. I feel so bad for
her.

wanttachat,
You're not invisible here. I would send you an email but I'm a year too
old and far far away.

Pick up the Complete Idiots Guide To Zen Living. It's all there,
finding yourself, letting go of hurts, loving others, giving something
back.

mshey,

I'm an admin for two other boards as well. I also post on a few
musicians sites. There are only so many hours in a day. Not sure this
place is a good resource for dating but the community part of it seems
nice.

OK, I've been here for many weeks and only recently started posting. I
didn't even have a picture until this week. I've been busy, so give me
a break. Geez, impatient people.
Hey, it's good to be here. So I'll say something now and then.

I applaud all people who follow their own path. I think glass ceilings
and barriers to equal access for anyone are wrong. If I open a door for
a woman or for a man like Mr. Crash it means nothing but kindness.
Sorry but I just don't get the connection to anything having to do with
dis-empowerment. I can't take power from you by my actions, you must
give it up. Take responsibility for yourself and you will find no
barriers to anything.

Wow, just got back from the office and I see this is still the hot topic
of the day. Looks like the old polite ways are winning hands down.
Simple tenderness and kindness should be a part of everyone's basic way
of living. It has never hurt me to open a door, help a stranger in
distress, or give someone flowers without having an agenda behind it.

Back to Tokyo. Might be there next May. Beijing is in the works too if
the schedule works out right.
