I have felt a lot like that recently.

You've come a long way in your maturity. You're traveling on the right path toward physical and emotional health.

As I follow your progress, I get a growing sense of satisfaction for having been permitted to travel this road with you.

What a nice thing for you to say. Actually when both my daughters were growing up, all of their friends told them that they had the coolest dad. I guess that designation led to my having the coolest children. I'm sure my older daughter would support me too, even though she's somewhat more conservative than Heather.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Annette's role in raising my daughters as well.

thanks for your thoughts...good to hear from a fellow traveler in these conundrums.

Are you talking about layoffs, or finding a job in the first place?

The powers that be are so shortsighted. Institutons that don't generate income always suffer cuts first. Money seems to be what our priorities continue to be.

It's a damn shame that educators get the short shrift. Our priorities are so out of whack.

I know I can count on you to understand.

Awww...that's so sweet. Things happen when you know the time is right and everything feels right. Only you would know that. Fuck everyone else.

And thank you for the vote of confidence. The phone interview went well today, but I'm still nervous about it.

Btw - you look beautiful in your profile pic.

My answer to that question would be don't think it just live through it.

And family can surprise you sometimes, for proof, read my journal about my encounter with Yazgirl's fam.

I love hearing this from you. Try not to worry about what your parents might think. This is your life and you need to live it in a way that will make you happy. Case closed.

I'm going to have to wait and see where my latest attempt at companionship takes me. I feel that it's prudent to let her take the initiative going forward, but perhaps I'll suggest that we go to a particular party or other BDSM related function at some point if she doesn't reach out to me in a similar way in the near future.

She did email me to tell me that she enjoyed my company and that I should stay i ntouch. Pretty generic stuff, but at least it's not negative.

I hope we can both continue moving forward on the road to happiness and fulfillment.

Your bf looks like a demon from the whedonverse in that image.

Beitiful, just beautiful. You look so happy. I'll also remember not to mess with you, as I want to avoid going to the hospital.

I'll give you the same advice I'm giving myself these days. GO FOR IT!

My goodness, it amazes me how our lives have paralleled each other since we began communicating.. You're obviously in a good place now. I can't tell you how happy that makes me.

I've felt the same way for almost the whole time we've known each other. I propose that we do what we can to help each other continue on the positive path we both seem to be on. Agreed?

VERY awesome. Congrats. You've come a long way.

That is great!

I think being involved in something you're so passionate about is great. Especially if it's something that builds your confidence and self esteem like martial arts.

I see where I originally read your post wrong. Keep on doing what you're doing.

You've made some wonderful changes in your life in recent months. I have faith that you'll do what's best for YOU.

Thanks love, that means a lot.

My choice would be to go have some fun - as long as you're able to keep your heart intact and set boundaries with him and yourself beforehand.

Sometimes in those situations I find the best course is to start dating a couple of people at once. I know that sounds crazy but if you're up front about it with both of them, then it automatically sets boundaries and expectations. For them and you.

Either way, good luck, beautiful.

Easy.
Tell him he's got to leave.

Yeah, Lizabeth has proven to be a woman of common sense and a good friend to me, as has been the case with you.

Something I neglected to mention in my above post. It's actually a question. Is there really such a thing as "meaningless sex"? When you get to my age, any sex has meaning, LOL.

Of course you can. Use the butt kicking for motivation, it's quite powerful

hey you... nutrit it out baby!
