Singles Social Club: It's Still 5 o'clock somewhere!

[ctnurse]

Ok, I need some of your thoughts here from those of you hot on the dating scene... I totally think that I have given up. I don't know if its just me, or if everyone's personality has just been sucked up by the social media or what?

So first I meet the CM when I was at Disney in May. We chit chatted here and there but he was not mentally stimulating at all, but he was nice enough. When I went to FL last week for Dad's funeral, we were supposed to meet up. Not really for a date but because I was going to be in town. The day we were supposed to meet came and went and I heard nothing from him. The day I was leaving (3 days later) I sent him a text basically telling him to lose my # since he didn't even have the courtesy to call and say he didnt want to meet up. Of course now he is blowing up my phone/text/sent me flowers and **** begging me for another chance and how his car broke down or whatever. No thanks. Im good.

Last Saturday, I meet this really sexy brotha (10 years younger than I) at the gas station, begged me to take his #. We talked a few times on the phone and was supposed to meet up this week after work for dinner. All of a sudden he has issues and can't meet up until next week. Again, not mentally engaging at all, but some serious eye candy. So anyway, I told him whatever, Im not stressing it. I move on. Now HE is blowing up the phone/text like he's so interested but just has some "things to work out."

I know Ive been out of the scene for a minute, but jeez. I know I bathe twice a day, brush my teef 3 times a day, Im not THAT ugly... I keep the muffin top in check.. what the hell is the problem??

*drops mic*

Not sure,but you are a beautiful,smart, strong woman and a great mom

You are beautiful, they must have issues. It's the truth!

I agree

This time tomorrow I will be boarding a plane to MCO!!!

Have a great time. I didn't know you left tomorrow. I can't wait to hear all about your trip

At least you are meeting people. That's more than I get these days. Between my work schedule and there not being a ton of opportunities to meet people in this town except bars, (or church... which doesn't work well with my sleep schedule..... among other things) I haven't really had a chance to meet much of anybody recently.

DC does have a point

I tried to go on a date, as you all know, and found I just wasn't ready. He liked me, so I was honest with him, that he was great, but I had jumped the gun going on a date.

You will meet someone great, just wait!

I totally agree. I didn't date anyone for a year. I took time to find out what I wanted out of a relationship and I am glad I did. It really helped. Good things come to those that wait( at least that is what I am telling myself.)

Good for her! And she's birthday month buddies with Ctnurse and me...

yup next month we can say our birthday are next month

This is ashame, I am a coaster lover!

Me too...the faster and bigger the better!

Hey all -

Don't know if anyone's missed me, but I thought I would drop in and tell you what's been going on and hoping I can get a welcome back

So, for some time, I have had a 12 yr old in my custody. It wasn't official, but mama went the way of the addict and left her precious daughter to the care of whomever could do it. Alyssa (12) is everything I wish I could be. As soon as you meet her, a light fills your heart and you're a better person just for having met her. She leaves an instant impression and one that makes you want her forever in your life. I loved her as if she were my own child, but considered her my little sister. I couldn't imagine life without her and don't know how I lived before her light entered my life.

Well, mama kept making mistakes, even ignoring the pleas of her daughter to straighten her life out, and landed herself in jail with 3 felony convictions. I acted quickly and took formal custody of Alyssa. DCF did not challenge the order and let the custody order stand and told me the only people that could remove her from my care was DCF with a court order only or her father. With dad not being in the picture for the past 4 years, color me surprised when he showed up at my doorstep this past Friday to take my Alyssa. I fought for her and brought his own drug use to light to DCF and they took me seriously. However, he passed a drug test and DCF forced me to hand her over to dad. Dad took her back to Tennessee along with a piece of my heart and even the dog I had adopted that belonged to Alyssa. It was like a country song. I lost my kid, my dog, my heart...

Of course, he won't let me take her on the birthday trip to WDW I planned for her this August, unless he could go. I wanted her to go so I agreed, but told him the extra cost was on him. Well, he then said she couldn't go because he couldn't get the time off of work. Jerk! So, I've made plans for a trip to TN in October. Then Alyssa tells me that her father told her that he did background checks on me and that I'm a convicted felon. I work for a government agency... that's the furthest thing from the truth. I told Alyssa not to worry and that I would be there in October.

Anyway, so pseudo-roommate (which I had gotten rid of in May when she got a place on her own) was so devastated by Alyssa leaving as they were really close, that she moved back in with me!! Ugh!

Preceding all this, I had the first of two knee surgeries. It went well. I was only in pain for the first 3 days or so and then I was back up and running around. The second surgery will be sometime in September. It will likely be right after the Disney trip as I want to be able to be in good shape for my trip to TN in October. There is rumor that dad might bring her down for a week in October. Either way, I'm going to see her in October and I promised if she came here, I'd take her to Disney for a few days.

There's been drama at work. None of it involves me directly, but I've been covering for people so that they can deal with what issues are going on in their lives.

The silver lining to all of this is that even though I can't take Alyssa with me in Aug/Sept., I still promised my son the trip first and had him give up our normal May trip so that we could go in Aug/Sept. Well, I dare not break my promise and paid off my Aug/Sept. trip today.

We'll be staying at PoR with the Quick Service dining. This is likely the last year I will use a dining plan. The loss of snack on the QS really ticked me off. I toyed around with staying at the Beach Club, but with the Quick Service dining plan, that's not a smart decision. Besides, the money I save by not staying at Beach Club, I plan on using for libations and cane pole rental for some good ol' fishing. Mikey and I have water park passes and have plans to only hit the parks in the evenings and/or early mornings. We love to hop, so that's what we'll do.

Anyway, just thought I would stop in and let you all know what's been up and look forward to catching up with everyone.

Oh, wow! No wonder you took a little time away, but thanks for letting us know what was up, and for rejoining Sorry for all the angst with Alyssa but hopefully it will all work out in the long run so that you get more time with her.

At least you are meeting people. That's more than I get these days. Between my work schedule and there not being a ton of opportunities to meet people in this town except bars, (or church... which doesn't work well with my sleep schedule..... among other things) I haven't really had a chance to meet much of anybody recently.

Well, if the women these days are anything like the men I've been meeting, you probably aren't missing much. All the men I work with are gay, and I'm allergic to church so that doesn't workfor me either. Don't be sad... somehow I see lots of booty in your near future-ish.

Don't worry, I'm at church at least once a week and I'm not meeting anyone either, lol. If you're not there for other stuff it probably isn't the best place to meet someone anyway

I am comfortable enough to say he is a good looking man. But I am more of a Roadhouse Fan vice Dirty Dancing.

Maybe bc of the girl in RH vice Dirty Dancing.

Actually, I prefer Roadhouse Patrick Swayze, too.

 

[TheBigE]

Ohhhh. I also forgot to tell you about this shot the bartender makes. I am not a big shot person (I am older than 25 ). But it is some sort of Mint Liquer with Bailey on top. Every time I have one it s like tasting Christmas and I love Christmas!!!!!!

I like shots. Less liquid to drink, so I don't spend as much time having to go potty. That is a huge problem with beer. Just saying.

 

[TexasDisneyBelle]

Probably not since I can't really remember the girl in it. She was one of those gorgeous doctor types, wasn't she? Believability factor ranks right up there with Denise Richards, nuclear physicist?

You see, I like beer cuz you can drink all night without getting too messed up, shots just hit me.

But too Big E's post- ones that remind you of Christmas are always good! I just cannot have too many.
