Sage, by no means do I make Josh (LH) the center of topics. I know I can't live in the past and the future at the same time. No one wants to hear of past relationships, its not fair for him or me. BUT, he shared first and then I did. Thats what friendships are about (i think) and I thought it was ok to share. Then, he freaked out on me telling me, "oh, you need to move on, you can't live in the past" blah, blah, blah. Like he was giving me all this great advice I have never heard before. I think I am reasonable and always think before I speak (or type lol) IDK, I guess its just so difficult trying to find someone--even in a friendship--that is willing to accept I am a widow and Josh was a huge part of my life. I am in no way trying to be a victim or have a pity party. It just seems I am in a different catergory, or realm...and finding reasonable ppl to talk to, or have a relationship with is so out of reach. Thanks for you input, Im not trying to be rude Im just fired up...

Smoke Gunpowder.
You'll have a blast.

Why do women rip through a mans past without mercy and without ever giving up secrets of their own? We never say how we feel you say, well you never open up either! why the double standard where the past is concerned?

I guess the question of what I do for a living bothers me so much because most women wouldn't understand what I do for a living. I could answer the question and then they would go Huh? They don't have the knowledge to understand and they are kidding themselves if they think they do.

I think a better starting point in the conversation is mutual interests. I'm very interested in music, dancing, wine, history, outdoors, and a lot of other things.

I'm interested in knowing where you grew up, what kind of childhood you had, how you feel about your family and your ex, what you do with your spare time, what your current struggles are, and the list goes on.

We could find lots of things to talk about before we ever got around to talking about occupations and finances. I think starting with asking about occupations shows a lack of imagination but that's only my opinion. Be imaginative in the questions you ask. Smart guys like me really appreciate that.

When you truly love someone... do you ever stop loving them?

How do you ever move on?

I still have faith that this is true!

What's one thing you learned from your last relationship?

sending me any mail today............so..........

a friend of mine the other day mentioned that her and her husband had not had a "good fight" in a long time, so it's due. She says she thinks fights are healthy for a marriage. Do you agree?

...My mother found a DHEC officer inspecting her home on a report of raw sewage odor last week, a false report. Before that, she'd been reported twice for having cats loose, she has two and they're a pain in the butt to herd.

We know who did that, my evil aunts... but a thousand miles away my landlord just called to tell us that someone had reported us for tall grass and derelict vehicles, also false.

Is this where our society sits? Are we to the same point as Nazi Germany where narc-ing on your neighbors is a pastime?

Hi Everyone! Hope you all have a great day. My name is Peter for whatever that is worth. You all are a great bunch, hope I never say anything to offend anyone.

If there is anyone serious about a relationship any more?
