I've settled into life here in south Florida (last Saturday was a year that my daughter and I flew down here).
My son Alex moved down here during Srping Break of this year so I now have two of four with me (the grown one is out of the picture and that just leaves my 11 year old).
I started dating a wonderful woman last June and on April 17 we announced our engagement. We are planning our wedding for September 1st.
I've left the company that hired me and am starting another software company. Thus far things are going exceptionally well!
Hmmm.... what else is there to tell... Yep, that's about all the significant news there is!
WOW ........ sounds like things are really going wonderful, I'm glad the move has turned out to be such a blessing.
Not too much going on here.
Lil bit is still studying martial arts, I've now ordered his black belt which he should get in appx. 1 yr.
School has been on hold for me, but hopefully I should go back this fall. The final round of surgery on the arm I broke is in 2 weeks. Going to take all the metal out of my elbow finally.
My mom and I have opened a store carrying our painting and some antiques.
Just quietly moving on along. Please stop in with us more often. Your announcement came a few days after my parents 43rd anniversary.
Oh and lil bit graduates from Kindergarten next week too.
Sorry to hear about the arm! Injuries at your age is never a good thing!!! roflmao
I'm also glad that he little one is doing so well. The martial arts probably saved me as a child and certainly saved me many a time while I was overseas in the army.
43 Anniversary? I come from a chain of dysfunctionals and I had always hoped that I would be the one to stay married for 50 years... I would have made it too but I picked wrong! hehehe
This time though I have an emotionally healthy person so I feel pretty certain I can at least spend my remaining years with one woman!
Feel free to IM me anytime, I'm often online but invisible.
Bite your butt?!?!?! GG - I thought I warned you about making promises you can't keep!!!
Ahhh... Now I'm grasping the whole scene. Elderly lady gets on ATV (most likely without her glasses) and goes driving madly through the southern forest in a vain (pun) attempt at reliving her youth and then what? Runs into a tree (no glasses), and ends up with a broken elbow... you're lucky it wasn't your hip!!!
You know me, I never get on Yahoo much in the evenings - between getting two kids to and from all their stuff I hardly have time for anything else.
Yes, she is quite magnificent but you know me... I'll keep a few play things around until we set a date and then I'm done. Right now we're discussing Sept 1st... you wanna come down?
thats right ....... bite my butt ........ I can keep my promise love
Let me reformat your story:
Grandparents got grandson a 4 wheeler for Christmas. Lil bit was going to go ride so I rode down the hill with him, he turned as he would if it was just him on it, ATV started to flip, I grabbed him with my right arm and got both of us off taking the fall on my left arm dislocating and snapping my elbow in pieces.
By the time I normally have a moment to sit its about 9 o'clock lately.
Now....the invitation to come down ...... is that before or for the wedding?
Welcome dimTye.....say anything you'd like. There are two GA threads by the way, this is the older of the two. The other one gets more posts probably but both are filled with really good people.
Hello everyone!
I have just recently found Lit and I am so glad I did!
I'm from North Georgia area. So glad to see some peaches here! *wink*
Here are a couple of posts I have made already.
I doubt you could tell any form of a horror story that could not be topped in this forum by others. I found there is great comfort in sharing and greater comfort in knowing that others have it worse... it kinda makes you feel thankful... in a warped kind of way!
Woah..I just now noticed that my last post was number 99. I figure that now is a great time to get 100..Since I’m looking at the beauty that is Georgia Girl I’m going to have to imagine what it would be like if I WAS there to take the picture…
I’d start off giving a nice back massage to get the blood flowing. My hand would gently, but confidently, relax your entire body. Soon my fingertips would start lightly grazing the sides of your breasts. My breath would hit the back of your neck just before my lips gently kissed it. Slowly I would tease my way down your back with kisses. As I kissed the small of your back I’d turn you over and start the slow tease back up your stomach until I reached your breasts. My hot breath would hit your nipples followed by the cool touch of my tongue. When you were teased until you couldn’t stand it anymore I would start the slow decent, getting slower as I got closer to my prize so that you could just anticipate my tongue tracing your lips..the anticipation already has you wet and your dying for some real attention. Only at this point, when I know you need it would I give you what you really wanted…mmmmmmmm…and that’s only the beginning
A little over a month ago, I was introduced, by a mutual friend, to a girl. We'll call her 'C'. C seemed nice enough; we had good conversations about anything. We had similar tastes in music, movies, art, etc. She seemed interested in me, and I was beginning to get interested in her. Teensy little problem; she lives in Colorado.
So, about 3 weeks ago, I fly out to see her. My intention is to see if my budding feelings for her shine through a physical meeting with her. I step off the plane and finally get to interact with her face-to-face........nothing. No love, no sparks, nothing. On *my* side. For her, she begins to fall in *love*.
I spend the next 10 days trying to fall in love; we sleep together, kiss, hug, talk, shop, everything. I try everything I can think of to get an emotional response out of me. And, nothing. I do not love this girl.
I begin to let her know about this a few days before I leave, which makes her very, very sad. I back off, not wanting to hurt her, and give myself a final test; if I yearn for her when we are appart, then, hooray! I love her! If not, it was never ment to be.
So, I come home to Atlanta, spend the night, and I don't miss her.
I tell her over the phone my feelings, which she takes well enough. But by the end of the conversation she becomes very, very bitter at me.
Since then she has accused me of using her for sex, manipulating her and stringing her along.
I went there to explore my feelings for her. She thinks I went there to take advantage of her feelings for me. This was *never* my intention in the slightest. Sex was another way of me testing my feelings for her. It was fun (some of the best I've ever had), but not with that emotional connection I've had before.
I'm done beating myself up over it; I felt bad for breaking her heart. Not because I love her, but because she is/was a friend, and I hate to see people hurting, *especially* on my behalf.
She is still quite bitter, ranting at me over AIM.
I just....I dunno. I hate that she hates me, but I can totally understand where she's coming from; I was in just her situation about 2 years ago. But, it still sucks.
So, yeah. I just kinda wanted to air that out.
Oh, and on top of all this, my libido (high as it was before my trip) has grown tremendously. Our sex was very good, with new experiences for both of us, and it has left me feeling rather empowered and confident, but also very, very sensitive to stimulation of any kind.
I know just how you feel. I met a lady here in FL that's flawless... she's physically beautiful, a great companion, kind, educated, smart, good career, beautiful house, fucks like a mink etc. But no matter how much time I spent with her I was not going to fall in love. It's tough when that happens and makes you wonder about yourself and what you're looking for.
Apparently there was something about C that your internal system was telling you to avoid. Personally, anytime a woman makes judgements about me or my motives I become suspicious because that's just not an accepting nature... especially if you have communicated your true intent in an honest fashion.
As for ending the AIM wars just tell her that her behavior is convincing you that you made the right decision. From that point onward keep your side of the dialog short and don't correspond about the relationship or your motives, just answer the movies, art, food, weather type questions. It's easy to get sucked into defending yourself and she's using that tactic to keep you involved in the relationship. Oh, and be prepared... as you withdraw her antics will become more desparate but they won't last long.
Remember, monkey's only grow with food so never feed a bad monkey, only feed the good ones!
Good morning lgulliver, welcome to the thread. I'll warn you as I did Andella, there are two GA directories here. One is newer than this one, both filled with good people although.
NTOG....thank you for sharing your 100 with me. You are quite an enjoyable guy.
Andella ..... nice to see you popping in on us. The company is good.
Froggerdoodles ..... You are such a delight and yes, I'd love to come down.
dimTye....been there, done that. There are two ways to look at it though. For me, I choose to be pleased that I stood up for me. Froggers can tell you that isn't something I do well. Its that whole "southern women MUST be pleasing" brainwashing. Just figure you tried, it didn't work and let it go. If she can't respect your feelings and value your honesty, she can't respect YOU and that isn't someone you need in your world. The amount of negative energy she is bombarding you with via AIM is dragging you down. Refuse to allow it, if necessary ...... block her and move on. It sounds cold but maybe giving yourself and her space for a bit will allow both of you to settle down and regain perspective. Once that has been regained you can open the pathways of communication.
Goodmorning everyone! Hope all of you have a wonderful day!
Dim.. Please let us know how everything is going. Seems like you got some great advice..man..the people on Lit are awesome huh?
Well ok...I'm gonna be sitting around all day which means I won't be able to resist checking the boards over and over Hopefully someone will be around to chat...
