I try to keep it simple.

I guess that means you're not leaving?

perfect night to open all the windows and snuggle under a comforter while listening to the rain......isn't it?

you aint' kiddin!

Right now, up north here, it's black fly season. They're just tiny things, even compared to mosquitos. But my poor mom has bruises on her face from the bites.

I don't generally want animals to go extinct, but mosquitos and black flies, well, I wouldn't lose any sleep over them disappearing.

You never did tell me how you knew about Lancaster, KY.

I'd call it delicious.

Thanks

Yeah, I like to open all my windows when it rains at night, especially when I am going to sleep in the summertime

I haven't been bowling in *ages*... too bad, it's a blast.

Now I want to go and bowl, used to love doing that in high school..

Nice blondyness... as for man-purses I have no idea. I cover all bases by using only outdoor/hiking equipment in that capacity. That's still manly, right? If it has a carabiner it must be.

I don't think very many people ever stop to think about what the holiday was *meant* to commemorate. Between the BBQs, the sales, the pool openings... it gets lost.

I had friends in from out of town, and we went to the zoo here. There were a lot of Navy enlisted men out, in their whites. They looked *so* young. It made me stop a minute and think about how we really are sending *kids* off to fight and die... all these young men, just barely adult... they looked so fresh-faced. It's very sad, indeed. I wish them all godspeed in their return home to their friends and families.

Actually he is not in the reserves, he is still on active duty. and his "Marine" career is over as of June 9th. He has been in for 14 years. But instead of getting a civilian job he is enlisting in the Air National Guard so he can continue serving this country. He will be at Lackland Air Force Base for 3 Months for training and then most likely be shipped out to Iraq or any other place they need him.

If we had not gone away for the weekend he would of been taking a trip to Arlington Cemetary to take part in services there.

No one knows the meaning of memorial day better than a person in the military... Trust me on that.

I don't want to rain on any parades, but I've been a scummy guy in my life. I know how scummy guys work. Your man may not be scummy, but he's exhibiting some signs that could be consistent with scumminess. Don't settle for an unequal set up. If he can't be yours and yours alone then fuck him.

i'm studying law...or at least i was...heh. right now, i'm waiting for my results and hoping that i've done enough to pass... =/

and i'm sorry to hear/read that you're having problems with your b/f =( i can kinda understand some of what he's saying, like about his mum being jealous of you (i know its wierd, but mothers often don't like having to share their time with their kids, especially if they're mummy's boys...) but that's no excuse to keep you from meeting them. you seem like a lovely girl, and quite honestly, i can't see any reason why he wouldn't want to introduce you to his parents...you seem like the kinda girlfriend that any guy would be proud to have on his arm.

anyways, i hope things work out for you =)

xox

Hmmm...sounds to me like you need to spend more time with the guy before rings are exchanged.

Thanks

Sorry things have been confusing with your relationship.

My two cents (or less)?

It's not simply a matter of balancing your common interests with your differences. I really think that ultimately your differences can be much more important than anything you have in common. It depends on how much weight you assign to those traits/habits/interests that are different. If you're really into something, and your partner isn't, that's okay. But if your partner can't tolerate it, then it matters. Partners can have different interests, but they can't really restrict the interests of each other. If your partner doesn't like to look at pics of naked women, that's his right. But if he tells you that you can't do it, that becomes a problem. And if you're not willing to give it up (and you're right, you should never change for other people, no matter who they are), that's a serious problem that can make or break a relationship.

That's my two cents. Sorry if it's no help.

Yes, I am definitely enjoying the fact that the weather's behaving itself now.

LOL I was wondering why you had been on here so long and I had never seen you in my local area, what made you decided to pick Lancaster, KY, how do you even know about that place, most people in KY probable has never heard of it LOL.

May I ask whom he is dating?

Thank you very much; you are the first person of the year to wish me a happy birthday.

What deathfest? I'm going to see the american idols in concert.

The way you describe your experience is eerily familiar. I felt like I was dealing with the breakup for three years before it actually happened. I'm alternating between numbness and sharp shooting pains right now. Blagghhh. Must find some Mexican soap opera to distract me.

I'm so sorry about your divorce.
