Just wanted you to know since you started the "movie titles" thread on Geezers. I was worried that I stumped everyone with my post a few days ago, since there haven't been any further posts since then on one of the two or three most active hreads in the group. I posted something just a few minutes ago that should allow the game tyo continue.
Free people ? you mean like out of the herd, thinking their own thoughts ?
Wow ! I bet they are a lonely group, do you think that they are dangerous ?
Better not take any chances, get a bunch of leg irons made up, in case this Freedom stuff starts to spread !
(oh , and by the way, HEY ! Howaryah ?)
Thank you for the wonderful compliments. It means a lot to me, especially coming from you. I too am very glad to have you as a friend.
I looked at the profile of the person you mentioned. I see that he's 55 years of age. The way I figure it, he's the second oldest member of SG. I'm almost certain that I'm the oldest at 61 years old. Sometimes I get involved with certain people here that make me question what I'm doing on this site. I'm going through some of that self doubt now about a couple of things that have made me feel out of place. I'll try to explain what I'm talking about when I have a chance to send you a pm about that and to let you know a few other things about myself.
Despite what I said in the previous paragraph, it's people like you, Jewelz, Lizabeth, mattacme and Quella_Hussein that encourages me to continue being an active member on SG.
What you said about your feelings about your mom's new relationship is understandable. The most important thing the way I see it is that her new relationship brings her happiness. My children have accepted Mae-Ann completely after observing how good she's been for me compared to where I was before I met her. I was married for almost 32 years until tragedy struck. At this time, I don't know how I would have survived without Mae-Ann emotionally, especially with all the financial issues that are weighing on my mind so heavily these days.
Freedom is fear to most people.....its much more comfortable when someone else makes the hard choices, thats why we enjoy the nanny state so much....someone else to blame when the stuff hits the fan! Best film of the Vietnam era, and probably Peter Fonda's greatest role, as for Hopper and Nicholson, too many choices from each, my fav's Blue Velvet for dennis and Chinatown for Jack, the soundtrack is even better than the film! (Esay Rider that is)
Did you know that Nicholson's part was to be played by Rip Torn? A fine actor, but different fer sure. Kind of like how Rick in Casablanca was originally Reagan not Bogart (but once they singed Bergman, they realized they needed an A-list leading man and the rest is cinematic history)
I appreciate your enlightening and detailed pm. It means a lot to me that you took the time and effort to send it.
I want to tell you things about myself and how I wound up joining SG. I feel comfortable confiding in you, even though we haven't known each other very long. I'm not feeling up to doing very much right now, but promise to pm you as soon as I'm up to it. I managed to post a new blog which explains some of the reasons for my mood.
Thank you once again for the love and encouragement. One thing I can hold onto in these uncertain times for me is the wonderful friendships I've made here.
Being on a site like this, blogging and everything else about the connections I've made on SG was the furthest thing from my being at the beginning of this year. Since we haven't known each other as long as my other close friends, you're not aware of how I came to be on SG.
A friend of mine became a member and posted her first set as an SG Hopeful in early February. She suggested that I join. I've never been on a site like this and never would have been if not for her. After a slow beginning, which included lots of self doubt about whether I fit in and almost constant thoughts of "what an I doing here?", I've come to feel comfortable despite my age, (I'm the oldest person on SG). Ive made a number of close friend, you being one of them, and have gotten and given much love and support while being involved with some of the best people I've ever met.
The person who I owe all of this to goes by the screen name of Lyrical. She's the one sharing my profile pic. There's lots more to tell about how the relationship between Lyrical and I began, went through a major transition and very recently seemingly came to a conclusion, but that will have to wait for another time.
I want to thank you once again for the comforting things you have a knack for saying. I'm so glad that I have you as a friend. Be well.
If you come down and you won't have to see pictures !
I'd enjoy talking with you kids. What could be better ?
I hope Neo's feeling better and you're work load is lightening up a bit.
Finally feel like I'm starting to get caught up. I'm not really, but it feels it.
Yeah, my scooter kicks ass. It's the perfect vehicle here.
I knew I needed sleep, it was GETTING it that was the issue. We fixed my meds, but I am still not sleepy tonight. He said by tomorrow I should be wanting to sleep all the time!
And its not like I am gonna miss THIS place. my friends will wait and the drama can just go on without trying to drag me down wiht it!
I wanted to say how much I appreciate your insight and patience with me during my seemingly endless revelations about my life. You've made a real difference.
Sorry to you and others for causing the logjam.
