Well, I Screwed Up..

end of the day, as long as you are happy, that should make everyone that cares about you happy, including everyone here!

I agree.

im really not one to brag on an internet forum, so lets just say a 2-3 girls a week, a dude, and a circle jerk at the park...

Do you recycle your dates, or is it new gals and guy conquests every week?

So true, and what makes one happy can change over time. When I was younger, it was easier to make me happy, but also easier to make me mad. Didn't take much, in either case. I'm not claiming to be more enlightened, more sophisticated, or more intelligent at my advanced age, but I do know now, more than ever, what is important to me, what my priorities are, what makes me happy - really happy. I also don't get mad over the small stuff, and I take the big stuff in stride and focus more in solving problems than getting pissed off about things I can't control. I also know how rare true, lasting happiness is. I appreciate it more now than I did when I was younger and also get great satisfaction making those who matter to me happy.

The Buddhists believe that to experience true happiness, you must first experience true sadness. I'm not sure if I buy into that 100%, but my girlfriend and I both suffered through long, unfulfilling marriages. In both cases, it wasn't always bad, but had grown progressively, and steadily, worse over the years, until it just became intolerable. The older you get, the harder it is to change (as they say, you can't teach an old dog new tricks). It was easier to get caught in life's inertia and just unhappily accept the status quo rather than risk the unknown and force a change.

It was hard for both of us, but I am especially proud of my girlfriend. She took the bull by the horns, and took the steps necessary to allow get out of a bad situation and eventually find happiness. She has gone through a LOT of significant changes over the last year - the divorce is just one. She has also changed jobs and moved to another state. Voluntarily changing jobs, walking way from a secure position at 49 in this economy takes guts. But she did it and I'm proud of her and happy for her.

Nah, dude, this was about an intense closeness and intimacy (there's FAR more to intimacy than simply the sexual part), zoo lights in Tacoma; getting/decorating the Christmas tree; sharing nog and rum over stimulating conversation; snuggling; church on Sunday; joining the Y; a lovely dinner out; making turkey soup together; etc., etc., etc.

As I mentioned, JACKPOT!!

I thought jackpot was when your s/o finally caves and agrees to bring a friend . . .

So you screwed up, she won't let you be a kept man anymore, and you're stuck finding a job.

I got the story straight?

That's it exactly. I really thought I had it made in the shade. Boy, was I wrong!

Women!

She has something "extra special" planned for this weekend. Oh, man...this is the gift that keeps on giving!!

 

[ABM]

There's nothing quite like getting into the "Holiday spirit" with someone you love very much. Just wow.

Funny, Denny.

Actually, it appears like a very special night on the town. Oh, and next Saturday, she's taking me to see The Nutcracker in Seattle. Never have seen that. Should be very festive and entertaining.

I mean no offense. I am truly happy for your good fortune.

 

[Denny Crane]

I've seen the nutcracker at the opera house in Chicago a few times. It is definitely worth it.

 

[ABM]

Nah, it's cool. I've probably been a bit too open in here about my relationship with her. That said, I'm extremely blessed to have found her.

Thanks.

You should have her tailgate with you at the Seahawks game instead.

Actually, she'd love that.

Some fresh Copper River salmon, Gooey Ducks and some Raaaaaaaaaaineeeeeeeeeerrrrrr Beeeeeeeeeerrrrr to wash it down with. Put some dip in your lip, slap her in the ass and introduce him to your buddy Buzz with the glass eye.

No kidding. When we french, I love cramming my tongue between those two missing teeth near the back her her mouth. If I hit the socket(s) just right, it sends her wild. She claims it's one of her erogenous zones. Gotta love it.

Repped, regardless of whether or not you're serious!

and then this...

Definitely TMI!

Either:

1 - You're joking
2 - You walked away from your computer and forgot to log out
3 - You're serious

Ewww, I don't even want to think about number 3.

Bring flowers, yellow ones, with you before ever broaching the holiday plans talk. Present them to her and say they're hers in trade for her cooperation in making your Holiday rich and memorable. Admit that they're just pretty, dying, decorative vegetation; but stress the fact that they're symbolic for your concern for her feelings -- that is, you hope their beauty will shine light into the dark pit that her acquaintance with you has left her in. If she balks, ask her if two hundred dollars cash would make a difference.

If she accepts the cash, give her the flowers instead and say, fare thee well. Life is too short, brother man.
