Welllll......

Take a look at Lex's profile.

That should be specific enough. LOL


I have attempted to read it on more than one occasion. I can never get through it at one sitting and I always end up very entertained and also very sure that he is doomed to never find love by the end of it....laugh

Lex is definitely not the normbigsmile


One day some cute nerdy girl is going to read one of my books and fall madly in love with me....

That's really the whole point to writing books in the first place. Don't tell anybody....

I'm in love with you, Lex, but I don't wear enough eye makeup to turn your head.

So I finally have Saturday off work and it's only $10 for tickets to the Confederate Railroad and Little Texas concert at the St Joe County Fairgrounds in South Bend, IN. I really want to go but not be there alone. Anybody else going or would want to that I could get to know? I'm not offering to pay anyone's way, and it's not really an offer for a date. I'm just a recently turned single girl looking for someone to hang out with, man or woman who also doesn't want to spend another Saturday night home alone.

I would have sought out 2nd, 3rd, even 4th opinions for my female problems and not listen to my doctor who kept saying it was scar tissue when it was endometrosis and didn't get properly diagnosed until it had destroyed my fallopian tubes, ovaries and any possibility of me ever having children.
I know just how you feel. I'm 41 and haven't been able to have babies either. There's a lonliness there that most can't even start to imagine. Questioning God about what is so bad about me that He doesn't want any part of me to passed on to a next generation. The anger you feel when people with kids tell you how lucky you are to not have THAT responsibility. I've even decided that I have to buy myself a really awesome tombstone so someone in the distant future will bother to stop and look at it. People look for their parents' and grandparents' graves, but who goes looking for the childless greataunt's? Sorry, I know that sounds morbid, but I enjoy wandering around cemetaries seeing beautiful tributes to loved ones and imagining family histories. My Aunt has taken me out every couple of years ever since I was a kid, we always discover local history and it's such a peaceful way to spent time together and catch up in privacy.

the number of dating possibilities I lose out on because of it.
Exactly! I don't know how many profiles I've looked at and wrote off the possibility when I find a wonderful sounding guy that doesn't smoke so I know they won't want me and my nasty habit around

My Grandpa and two of my greatgrandparents lived to 100 or more, so I plan on being here for at least another 60 years, that's enough.

I once had a pet clam. Found Ocsar in the St Joe River the summer I worked the Paddle Wheeler that was behind the 100 Center in Mishawaka, IN. Took him home in a big ice cream bucket filled with river silt and water and put him in an aquarium with the silt. He was cool, he'd open his shell and blow water out one side and make his way back and forth across the tank. Had to feed him invertabrate drops, only had one pet store that carried them. If you take a clam home as a pet make sure you can find their food. He grew about 3x in size in about a year. Put him back in the river where we found him when that ex and I broke up. Oscar was a great unusual pet.

Never thought I'd like snakes either, but the last ex had 4; a ball python, a redtailed boa, a baby reticulated python with so much personality, and a green anaconda who grew from 10' when he moved in to just under 14' when he took them last week after four years. They were beautiful and it was actually really cool to hold them and feel their muscles undulating as they crawled. Nope never thought I could be comfortable with snakes, let alone love them, but I really miss them.
Was afraid of the iguana, Spike, when he moved in too, now we're buddies, and he got to stay. He's happy just hanging out and eating salads.
So I still don't want any scorpions or or giant cockroaches or spiders, especially big hairy ones, anywhere near me, but I have a much more open mind to other exotic pets after getting to know the last zoo full.

I'm not in your situation, but my ex of 10 years broke up with me for another girl. After about 3-4 months, I started to finally move on with my life and feel like I was starting to get over it. Then he tried to string me along, telling me he still loved me, he had made a mistake, he couldn't imagine his life without me, stuff like that. But he still wouldn't break up with her. I finally gave him an ultimatum and he chose her. It felt like he had broken up with me all over again. The way I worked through it was to remind myself that I had been feeling better before and eventually I was going to get back to that place. I know it's hard now, but eventually you'll get through it. For now just hang in there and just keep reminding yourself that none of it was your fault. flowerforyou
Yep, heard all that for months. Now it's that he'll always love me but we weren't right for each other but he can't imagine life without my friendship, and since we now share a blood relative we have to find a way to a new understanding. Makes things that much more confusing. Thanks for the well wishes and the same to you

your niece is a child and this man took advantage of her and you at the same time. The timing doesn't matter. Your niece has a long road ahead of her and this man is not going to stick it out. She will need her family. Consider yourself lucky that he is out of your life because you deserve much better. He is the one who lost, not you. I hope that you can forgive your niece. At 17 she does not have the life experience not to believe all the lines that this man fed her. Good luck to both of you and I hope your family can heal.
Thank you, I hope someday to be able to foregive her. Like I said we have a big close family. I just hurt so much, I don't know how long it's going to take. That baby is innocent regardless of their choices and the idea that I wouldn't get to know the littlest member of my family is painful too. So I know I have to stay open to foregiving her, I just don't know how to get there.At least I know he's a really good dad to his older daughter with his exwife. So I can be happy for the baby for that much.

It is difficult, but the only thing that you can change...is you, and your own perspective. I do know what you mean about being thrown back, my ex cheated on me with a guy I knew while I was on deployment...than later I found out that not only did she cheat with an ex-bf of hers, she also had a 3month affair with my little brother while I was gone, I wasn't in the same situation but similiar I moved my little brother into my house to help him get on his feet, and to go to a flight school nearby...but instead of getting on his feet, he got on my now ex-wife.

it sucks when it is family, it is painfully hard, but completely possible. I am divorced now, and even though I occasionally find myself thinking of my ex, i'm glad it is over.

The harder part is with my brother, I still see him every year for Christmas, and still talk to him on the phone as well....it's difficult sometimes but sometimes it's like nothing ever happened.

You can only try to do what you think is best. Don't wonder about them(or try not to) start going and doing the things that you wanted to do when you were with him that you knew he wouldn't be into....

That's what I started doing, my ex never liked the beach or surfing...so I never went even though I wanted to...then I started going by myself after she was gone...it felt lonely at first...but then you start to meet people who like to do the same things you do...and you know what? I found out that I have a lot more fun without her being around...

good luck.
Thank you so much, I feel so alone, like nobody else has a clue what I'm going through. I know my situation is not unique on the planet and it's good to hear from someone who has dealt with family betrayal and came out of it okay. I'm so sorry to bring back the memories, but appreciate the advise and support. I'll have to find a good museum to visit I think. I haven't done that since he's been around. I'm sure I'll think of some other places to visit, too. I guess I haven't thought about doing much alone, maybe that's just how I'll bump into somebody wonderful. Thank you again.

I guess that what makes this so hard is that there is no end in sight. If it is his baby, my great-niece to be, then he's a part of my family for life. I have a big close family. He says he's not planning to attend family functions and holidays, but news of him will always be there. I won't ever to be able to get away from it unless I stop seeing my whole family, and that's not fair and not happening. I know I'll find someone better for me out there someday, but how do I deal with this family connection?

Every time I think I'm starting to get on with my life and dealing better with the exbf and niece having a baby, I get some new info that starts me to pondering my life all over again. I'm not going looking for their news, but she's family and while seeing my dad for Father's Day I found out the dr. has moved up her due date by a month. Which means it's either not his kid or even his confessions to me were lies. She, at 17, kept threatening to run away so we invited her to stay with us and supposedly 2 weeks after she moved in they hooked up. This timing renders that impossible, if it's his. Now I have to deal with the possibility that my own niece moved in on me with the intent of cheating with my boyfriend, that it "just happened" was hard enough. How do I process this? What else will come to light to throw me right back to the beginning of dealing with the situation? I don't want him back, trust obviously gone, but I want my life to make sense. How can people who claim to love you care so little that they could do such a thing? Has anyone else made steps forward in the healing to be thrown so far backwards by additional information? How did you deal with it?

That's wonderful and so sweet, she's a lucky girl to find someone like you that takes the time to say thank you. Happy Father's Day!

I've been here a little over a month, and although I haven't yet been on a date with anyone from the site, I have found lots of caring people and fun conversations. And I've found it has been so good for me as a way to figure out how to deal with the crap going on in my life. Not only do I get different perspectives on the questions I ask, I figure out just how I want to say the things I need to by writing them down and proofreading them first. This has made me better able to articulate them in face to face conversations, rather than just blurting out the first emotional response I have, since I've had time to think things through more clearly.
Thank you to all who have helped me through my problems and to those who have been a much needed distraction from them.

In Translation, and I thought I loved Bill Murray til that one, boring! And Master and Commander, tried to watch that repeatedly but gave up about the sixth time I fell asleep in front ot it. So disappointed in The Outsiders, so many great actors, but I just kept thinking these guys are gonna start kissing each other

I don't know about the rest of the ladies, but for me, if I put on tight jeans, (don't do the short skirt thing often), and a revealing top it's because I'm already feeling kinda cute and I'm always in the mood for a compliment, so look all you like and feel free to tell me you appreciate the view, just be tactful about it.
