Yes but struggling for the last year or so.. why do you ask?

well I have two girls.. 13 this month and 20 next.. so.. I have to.. but I got lucky this year.. a lady I was seeing on here for a REALLY short time bought them something pretty nice.. (she never met them so I think it is OK right?) and we just broke up so I can give that to them and tell them it is from me..

Don't you HAVE to if you have kids???

I think we have something that is very attractive to some women who are
much younger and I don't think it is money... but I am a romantic

Hey Nerves... my brother a couple of years older than my 52 says that we
are invisible to women under 40. I definitely don't agree. What do you
think?

Don't listen to Manilow

All I have to do is breath and I get a nasty email.. I am holding my
breath till New Year's

What did you do to her? LOL

Yeah... listening to the new Manilow CD my daughter gave me and NOT
feelin guilty about it, either... Life is sweet.

I just ended a 3 year relationship but we never enjoyed Christmas
anyway... so this year was an improvement.

you're welcome... glad to.. are you in charge?? LOL

The "W" in Christmas "...and a child shall lead them"

Each December, I vowed to make Christmas a calm and peaceful experience.
I had cut back on nonessential obligations - extensive card writing,
endless baking, decorating, and even overspending.

Yet still, I found myself exhausted, unable to appreciate the precious
family moments, and of course, the true meaning of Christmas.

My son was in kindergarten that year. It was an exciting season for a
six year old. For weeks, he'd been memorizing songs for his school's
"Winter Pageant."

I didn't have the heart to tell him I'd be working the night of the
production. Unwilling to miss his shining moment, I spoke with his
teacher. She assured me there'd be a dress rehearsal the morning of the
presentation. All parents unable to attend that evening were welcome to
come then.

Fortunately, Nicholas seemed happy with the compromise.

So, the morning of the dress rehearsal, I filed in ten minutes early,
found a spot on the cafeteria floor and sat down. Around the room, I saw
several other parents quietly scampering to their seats. As I waited,
the students were led into the room. Each class, accompanied by their
teacher, sat cross-legged on the floor. Then, each group, one by one,
rose to perform their song.

Because the public school system had long stopped referring to the
holiday as "Christmas," I didn't expect anything other than fun,
commercial entertainment songs of reindeer, Santa Claus, snowflakes and
good cheer.

So, when my son's class rose to sing, "Christmas Love," I was slightly
taken aback by its bold title. Nicholas was aglow, as were all of his
classmates, adorned in fuzzy mittens, red sweaters, and bright snowcaps
upon their heads.

Those in the front row- center stage - held up large letters, one by
one, to spell out the title of the song.

As the class would sing "C is for Christmas," a child would hold up the
letter C. Then, "H is for Happy," and on and on, until each child
holding up his portion had presented the complete message, "Christmas
Love."

The performance was going smoothly, until suddenly, we noticed her; a
small, quiet, girl in the front row holding the letter "M" upside down -
totally unaware her letter "M" appeared as a "W".

The audience of 1st through 6th graders snickered at this little one's
mistake. But she had no idea they were laughing at her, so she stood
tall, proudly holding her "W".

Although many teachers tried to shush the children, the laughter
continued until the last letter was raised, and we all saw it together.

A hush came over the audience and eyes began to widen.

In that instant, we understood the reason we were there, why we
celebrated the holiday in the first place, why even in the chaos, there
was a purpose for our festivities.

For when the last letter was held high, the message read loud and clear:

"C H R I S T W A S L O V E"

And, I believe, He still is. Amazed in His presence...humbled by His
love.

HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS!

Hey

Nuts..you are so right. I think it IS out of desparation that people
throw themselves into this, me included. But, and it might just be
therapeutic to admit it... it has been so hard to find a woman that has
most of the qualities I am looking for and, as imperfect as this is,
there are just so many women on these things, it sure feels possible to
find the right one, somewhere. Now... shoot me.

All I know is that you have an awful lot to prove in order to make a
judge/jury believe that what was said was false, malicious, published
and worthy of "overruling" freedom of speech. You'll probably just spend
a lot of money and waste a lot of time. Find some other way to vent.

Good luck proving it... you have a long road ahead of you.

So what about sex? I think it is a lot of fun... anyone disagree with
that?

I can take some shopping... like a couple of hours and then my skin
starts to crawl... and I become obnoxious and no fun to be around
anymoe.
