Okay...I've Called the Late Night DISers, Now I'm Calling the Single DISers (Part 2)

[CoMickey]

Brave...for sure....not so sure the money is worth it though! He is in the Green Zone and he says he is safe...but you know...how safe can you really be in a war zone?????? I am sure he will have some adventures to tell me about. We are able to talk at least once a day so that helps.

PW-I hope you get to meet Brian soon. I met my DBF online at Match.com. He IM'd me one day and we met that night. I always had a longer online relationship before actually meeting them...but we were both free that night and he lived about 45 min. away so he drove to Denver for our date. That was 1 year and 3 months ago. I am not positive he is the 'one' but the way I feel with him gone...I am wondering if maybe he isn't the one! My sister and friends say I should go out with others while he is away to see if he is the 'one'. I don't know....I would feel so guilty...there he is over there in a dangerous place....having no idea that I am seeing others....What do you all think? We're not engaged even though he sometimes talks about it and I say I'm not ready yet.....

What a cute cartoon! So true!!!!

Oh...yes 400 count sheets! Nothing like them. I only have one pair of sheets for my bed because they are so expensive but I love them.

Legs...Sorry to hear about your car. I had the same thing happen to my battery about 6 months ago but fortunatly for me DBF was near and helped me....I should have never gotten so dependent on him!

Legs, you have to look for 400 TC sheets to be on sale!! I know occasionally I see them online at prices much better than what's in department stores...about 1/2 the price, but they are STILL pricey! Ever been to a hotel where they have butter soft sheets? That's them!!!! I was really surprised that's what my sheets felt like at the Hampton Inn when we were here for Christmas last year. I've even seen 600 TC sheets advertised online, but I'm not even looking at the price tag on those.

So sorry about the car trouble. Doesn't it take forever when you have to do stuff like that? Glad your neighbor was able to help. Is he single?

Vicki...I don't know if I would go out with anyone or not. I think it depends completely on how you feel about him. Good luck!!

 

[TigerBear]

Nope, I haven't sold the house yet. Its only been on the market three weeks so I'm trying not to get discouraged.

Legs, sorry you had a rotten afternoon.

Sandy, hope you get to meet Brian soon.

Vicki, I bet you are missing him!! Regarding dating other people - I think it depends on what the two of you have agreed upon. A year is a long time to be apart if you are not truly committed to the other person. But I definitely wouldn't date other men if he wasn't aware of it. Faithfulness is something that I value way too much.

Thank you! I'll let you know when/if we do.

 

[CoMickey]

Thanks PW and TB....I feel the same about being faithful! I think how I would feel if it was the other way around. Regardless of a ring or not I feel in my heart commited to him and I know he feels the same about me. So that does it...forget about my sister and friends....unless DBF and I make an agreement....I am not even going to think about dating anyone else. A year is a long time and it will be a real test!

He called about an hour ago...he was just going to breakfast. So strange to be sleeping while he is going about his day and visa versa. It helps so much that he can call at least once a day. We can't talk long but at least I get to hear his voice.

600 count...wow! Might have to hang on to something to avoid sliding out of bed!

TB-3 weeks that's not long at all for a house to be on the market. I think the average here is 90 days. Don't get discouraged! I was an office manager for a Real Estate office for awhile so I understand how long it can take. But the right person/family will come along!

It is really thundering here....it used to be cozy...now it's kind of sad.....to bed I go!

Good night!

 

[legs22]

Wow, what happened? I go to bed, wake up, and the boards have a new look and PW has a new photo! Is that you on the right? The FL cartoon is funny. That's where I felt like moving!

I might have to look into those 400 thread count sheets!

I want to be completely independent. To never need a man or have to rely on a man. Then stuff like car problems come up or hurricanes. And I think that I can manage it myself and I get frustrated when I can't.
I think all that comes from being a stay-at-home mom with a small child and totally depending on my H and then have my H cheat on me and leave me. And there I am, with no job, no money. Ick!
So, being able to depend on and trust a guy are big issues for me.

I have no interest or attraction in the neighbor. He is nice in a friend sort of way. When I asked him for help again last night, he asked when I was going to get a boyfriend (so the bf could do all this stuff)! ACK!

CoM- I wouldn't go out with other guys when bf is gone unless you talked with him about it and you both agreed to that. I, too, value faithfulness.

LOLOLOLOL! That's how I feel about satin sheets. I don't know how anyone can sleep on those.

Legs...I think you may get a wee bit too cold where FL has moved in that picture. What a shock! Not sure I like the blue board. Difficult to get used to for me. Then again. I'm one to fight change tooth and nail.

YES! It was time for a new picture! Or should I make than an old picture? That's me and my sisters. Trish on the left, me in the middle, and Vicki on the right.

Wow, Legs! Your neighbor really said that? I've always found it difficult to ask anyone for help and will avoid it as long as possible. Here we go...I have a sunroom in my home, and the other day I managed to get a window out of it and just leave the screening to let this great cooler air in. Think I can get that glass in again by myself? NOPE! It has to be 6 x 4 feet. It's heavy, and I have to slide the top in first underneath a bracket type thing for the verticals hanging. Every single window has to be slid under one of those! It's a snug fit, and I can't get the window all the way in without crushing my fingers. Guess I'll be hunting down DS when I really want to put it back! LOLOL! Not to mention that glass is as heavy as anything!

Go for the sheets. They feel GREAT!!

 

[TigerBear]

I think independence is a good thing (today I took off work to powerwash my driveway and sidewalk ). However, I want a man that will truly be my life partner. To me that means that we should embrace each othes strengths and weaknesses. If he knows how to do something that I don't, I want to be beside him learning how to do it too.

Sandy, I LOVE the pic!

You guys have talked about sheets so much I know I will end up buying some new ones before my DBF gets here this weekend.

 

[legs22]

I went to get my car's charging system tested today at my mechanic. I need a new alternator. Just the part is $500 This is a 2 yr old Toyota Camry purchased May 2002. I bought it because they last long and are reliable. Ha! The warrenty is 3 yr./36,000 mile. I am at 37,800. I can't believe this. Instead of calling the dealer, I am going to drive to the dealer I bought it from and see if I can get them to cover this.

 

[TigerBear]

And I thought my life was hard....

"Dear Abby:

Q: My ex-wife, "Misty," is now dating my father (who is still married to my mom but separated). Mom blames me. She says it's all my fault because I brought Misty into the family. We have two kids. What can I do to get past all the hurt and pain? I'm depressed all the time, and it has reached the point that it is affecting my work and everyone around me. Please help.

DESTROYED in Kentucky"

 

[Pin Wizard]

Thanks, TigerBear. I'm very fond of the picture myself. One of the few I have of the three of us together.

Legs...Ack! Sorry for the car problems. I would try the dealer first also before buying an alternator. That's unbelievable. I know they say the car starts falling apart when the payments/warranty are up, but that's ridiculous! Good luck!! Hope they do it for you.

 

[Pin Wizard]

Wow, TB! What a story that is!

Life is definitely way too difficult. It shouldn't be in my book. I've been so frustrated with things this week. <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_11_27.gif' alt='I&#039;m Frustrated' border=0></a> <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_2_203.gif' alt='Steamed' border=0></a>

I'm usually in the fustrated club with you PW.

Good news though bloodwork and MRI came back normal so that makes me happy. Seeing the neorologist today and crossing my fingers that it was a bug or stress or something as "simple" as that. Having a pedicure today and then going to DD's Daisy meeting to help out. So should be a good day overall.

 

[legs22]

Suzanne-
Glad the tests came back normal! Enjoy your pedicure!

I really should get more pedicures. They are so wonderful. I've only had one my entire life.

TB- I saw that article in the paper. Now that's messed up!

Way too much money flying out of my pocket these days. Need to pay a 2% insurance deductible (2% of the value of my house). That's in the thousands Plus the cost of plywood and other supplies was a few hundred. Hurricanes are expensive! Now this alternator problem!
The good news is that State Farm declared my roof a loss and I will get a new roof. Now to find a roofer. Word is it will take 6 months for a roofer to get to your house.

 

[CoMickey]

I thought I was seeing things when I logged in tonight...nice change and some color.

Thanks everyone....I am taking you're advice...not sure why my sister thinks the way she does....she is not like that at all....but then she is not totally into my DBF either. Oh, well...he just called! Could only talk for a minute. He called this morning and it was late afternoon there and he and some new friends were sitting aroudn the Royal Palace's swimming pool drinking Coronas.....What would Sadaam think?????Americans in his pool? What a turn of events huh?

Well, I am off to NYC on Friday. Worked late tonight working the presentations.

I agree with TB....I don't need to depend on a man but I want him here to share life...not just a 'honey do' list...but it is nice when they are around to help out at times. Even when I was married I was very independent. I paid the bills...worked and went to college I want an equal relationship and that is what I have with DBF. We are best friends.

Well, take care everyone. Have a great weekend.

Suzanne...Sorry you're in the frustrated boat fairly frequently also. I've been trying to make some major changes to get to a better place (what I consider better any way,) but so far there's no change in the outcome. I like the individual and separate changes, but it's not getting me where I want to go overall. Very frustrating.

So glad your bloodwork and MRI came back normal! That's GREAT! I hope it was a fluke of some kind with your body, bug, something. Hope it goes well with the neurologist. Enjoy the pedicure and have fun with scouts! <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/22/22_1_4.gif' alt='Girl Scouts' border=0></a>

Legs...So sorry about that deductible. Thank goodness you'll get a new roof out of it! Will say a prayer <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/17/17_1_10.gif' alt='Prayer' border=0></a> you find a reputable, honest, fair roofer to get to work in a decent amount of time.

Vicki...I'm sure your sister just has your best interest at heart. Sometimes it takes a major thing, like your separation right now, to realize what you have and what you want. Seems you've discovered that already.

 

[floridaminnie]

Just came back from the neorologist and not the news that I wanted to hear. Just got more bloodwork done and whole more tests to be done and another MRI needs to be done for my spine. This is not fun

 

[Pin Wizard]

Ack! I'm sorry to hear that, Suzanne. So they aren't done ruling things out yet. Nothing showed up in first set of bloodwork, so now they're testing for other things. Another MRI? Was it your spine they did last time or was it something else? <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/17/17_1_10.gif' alt='Prayer' border=0></a> <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/17/17_1_10.gif' alt='Prayer' border=0></a> <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/17/17_1_10.gif' alt='Prayer' border=0></a> More prayers and pixie dust for you!!

 

[floridaminnie]

They did my head last time. But if I keep having headaches the way I've been having them that's something they'll repeat, b/c of some other stuff it might be. I just can't believe all of this stuff is happening. I just want my life back.

 

[Pin Wizard]

I'm sure you do!! Do you have an appointment for your MRI?
