It's Thursday, how y'all doing?
Hello my OFF sistas,
Lots of chat on OFF today! I'm bringing up the rear, but I just couldn't go to bed without checking in on everyone. I'm glad I did. So much going on today.
Butch and I are wiped out. We made the 3 1/2 hr drive to Houston for his follow-up appt. with the surgeon who did his knee surgery last Friday. Holy cow. All that driving to spend FIVE MINUTES with the doctor! He didn't even touch my husband once! Everything he asked could have been easily answered over the phone.
So another 3 1/2 hour drive back to Hilltop and it's early to bed for me.
Tomorrow we tackle laying the tile floor in the guest bath. Wish me luck! My husband may be an excellent supervisor, but I am not so good at taking his orders! LOL! Pat & Eileen--I may be joining the ranks of the singles again! HA!
Pat, I'm really sorry ol' jerk face hurt your feelings. But I disagree with Eileen. Not all men are pigs. There ARE some really good ones out there. However, sifting through all the crappy ones to find the good ones might take more effort than you're willing to expend. I know that I personally would never have the patience for it again.
And frankly, I don't understand the concept of internet dating sites for any age group anyway. I tend to think that the men who join up are either socially or emotionally inept. Otherwise they wouldn't be on there. I know that some couples DO meet that way, but I have never personally seen one successful relationship happen that way. What I have seen is a lot of women friends who have been burned. I think it's all a scam to take your money.
Monica, praying for safe delivery of your new grandbaby tonight! Hope to wake up to joyful news from you tomorrow!
Nighty-night! Love you all!

Vickie, I take back that all men are pigs ... my brothers are not, but every one I have met online are either perverts or seem to be nice, but then never return my calls.
My brother did meet his second wife online, and she's a wonderful woman.
I wish there was a way to meet guys, but I've given up. Most are two or three time losers.
I am happily single. I've given up trying to meet someone.

Eileen,
Well, you are absolutely right that there are some real tools out there. Far too many. I don't know what's happened to decency and morality. I try and try to tell my daughters that you can't make a relationship work if you start out with someone who's not worthy of you. (Witness the mess my youngest daughter is in now with a child and man that really isn't good husband or father material. We don't like him, but he IS our grandson's daddy. We're stuck with him in our lives now.)
I know that personally I plowed through I don't know how many jerks before I met my sweet wonderful husband. I knew from almost the moment I met him that he was the one. He was 13 years older than me, and he wasn't quite tall enough, but I latched on tight! Sometimes you don't get what you expect. Sometimes you get something better! LOL!
I do think I could be happy single. You have to know that you can stand on your own and be okay with that before you can be part of a couple. We are each responsible for our own happiness. You can't depend on another person to make you happy. Once you reach that point, then you're ready to deal with another person. Life as a couple is not always easy, but it's very rewarding.
Well, I didn't mean to wax philosophical, I just wanted to tell you that I totally understand your decision to remain single rather than deal with a bunch of crap from some man who isn't worth your time or effort. There are worse things than being single, right?
Also, one more thing: I admire your strength and the way you tackle your life head on. Don't think I don't realize how precariously perched you are financially each month. Single women have it tougher than any other group financially. I suspect that's why a lot of women get married--for financial security. High price to pay sometimes. You don't flinch, though. It makes me really proud of you.
