Yeah! First the sky turns green, then the insects all start chirping in unison, really loudly, then Thor goes crazy and water pours down. And it's still warm enough to sit on your porch in your shorts to watch it. ... ![]() scary as it is, it sounds lovely. _____________________

I think I might be too scared to go see this sim by myself... http://secondlife.com/events/event.php?id=1863861&date=1223611200 There is so so so no way you'll see me there. I do wish SL Halloween could include some places that are spooky sorta halloween, instead of always being gory halloween. :-/ _____________________

Thanks, I figured you might like it. but I do disagree...I always felt that Enterprise Theme was mediocre at best. Too syrupy and formulaic. Now MASH is a classic, especially when the lyrics are sung, they are quite evocative. What she said. ![]() You've been to LL Mari. How much spookier would you want? Spooky is okay. It's all the blood and guts an skellingtons an zombies with bits hanging off an death that I could do without. There was surprisingly little of those things at LL _____________________

GOOD News!!
10-09-2008 18:30
I finally talked (or IM'd) with my Fiancee in Seattle!!
Since last Saturday I have been a nervous wreck. I didnt hear from her till she text messaged me saying "I'm definitely staying". And my heart sank. DEEP. I'm in Pennsylvania, & she decides to stay in Seattle!! But she never said if I was to be included in the picture. After 7 years with her, I realized I might be out of the picture. SO- for the past few days I've been worrying myself sick. Its kinda tough to drive to a client's location in the rain, which reminds you of Seattle, and thinking of the woman you love without crying. I found one of her "hidden" MySpace blogs where she basically said she'd be better off without me & could find better. So yea, I was reeeeeeally upset. Upset as in not eating or sleeping & worrying the whole time. Finally I got to talk to her. And YES!!!! I AM INCLUDED!!!! YAY!!!! I can finally eat!!! ![]() It wouldnt be till January or Febuary till I got my bills paid down enough to borrow the money to move. I'd be renting the Uhaul & packing up her stuff & my stuff & making the drive there. All I plan to take are: Clothes, small furniture, books, CDs, knick-knacks, and computers among a few other small things. We've agreed to give her ferret to my sister if she wants it. I'll miss the ferret. And we'll have the kitten flown in just because I'm allergic to cats. Now I can sleep & eat and not drive around worrying & crying. Yea, sad, ain't I?? ![]() BTW- When I IM'd her, I said I have a BIG question to ask. I also told her to "view my webcam" and held up a sign asking: Will you marry me??? She said "Yes"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( and I cried like a lil' girl) ![]() The only conditions we both agreed on: marriage has to wait till we're both working. She's looking for a job now & a place to live. The toughest thing for me is going to be leaving friends & family & my niece & nephew behind. She had no problem with leaving. Her family could care less (her mother still wishes her dead), her siblings dont want bothered, and her friends pretty much ignore her. I'll be leaving a steady job and going into a financial crunch for some time. But for her.... I'd do ANYTHING. When I realized she wasnt coming back, and my whole world went "Kaplooie", I realized... Yea... I want to marry this girl. No one else has done this to me. No other GF has made me feel this way. Besides... how many HAWT (as in Super Model hawt) 5'10" 120lb D-Cup Bi 23 yr olds will date a 39 yr old who's only 5'1"??? ![]() When you have a good thing... you do what ever it takes to keep it. SO!!! Looks like sometime next year, I'm moving to the Seattle area. BEWARE!!!! ![]() _____________________

We trashed the hangout ![]() ![]() This depresses me. I could have been on-line, there wasn't keeping me from being on line. But I wasn't. So I, yet again, missed an unplanned party. 'course if it was mentioned in thread I'd probably not be reading thread, so . . . I'll continue missing parties, then. _____________________

I saw a new (to me) costume shop on the fashion blogs.
I bought 75% of it. You know what that means. ![]() _____________________

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things. Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut. |

HOLD THE GODDAMN PHONE HERE!!!!!! You're 39, she's 23, and you've been engaged for 7 years......does some calculations...so you were engaged when you were 32, and she was............16?????? ![]() ROFLMAO!! Yep! It helps if the girl lies about her age. For the 1st 6 months I thought she was 18, lying about being 20. Then one day, 6 months later she tells me the truth. I asked "why?" She said "because I didnt want to upset you" Uh, yea. Luckily, her mother could care less & was hoping I was one of those "Internet Perverts" that would make her daughter 'disappear'. Unfortunately, I didnt. I more or less raised a kid/GF. Got her on the RIGHT track. Made her a better person. She was a total basket case for awhile. And yea, I even went with her & talked with her therapist. Even HE was amazed she wasnt a Psychopath, the way her family life was!! It was one of those weird events where age didnt matter & we both clicked on the same level. Strange as that sounds. And YES- I will still kill her father if he EVER shows his pedophile face around!!!! ![]() Sad thing is... the b*stard is now remarried & has a kid. I can only hope his kid or new wife sets fire to him in his sleep. ![]() For info on the father: http://criminalsearches.com/details.aspx?id=w1x00xC8&vw=criminal&1=1Tq7naSyKWLkyx%2bN7gU9GM1U2GY3UahWZbVeG%2fwp7v4%3d&input=name Her mother still blames her for everything. Its nice to have a mother who says "I wish you were dead" instead of "Good Morning". Her mother also thinks my fiancee is the reason to blame for the Father's actions. The mother is also in Denial about everything, still waiting for a man to come along & pay for everything so she dont have to. yea, she has a F*cked up family. And I cant blame her for wanting to move away. Physical, almost sexual, and mental abuse.... yea. I'd have to kill them. Our 1st date was with her walking with her head down. For the 1st few months she couldnt look at me if we had an argument. She'd shy away, and cry quietly. In her family, you got beat harder if you cried. Of all the women I dated, SHE is the only one I'd go to jail for. I'll do anything in the world to make her happy, even if it sets me back a bit. BTW- those pics were of his DAUGHTER, a.k.a. My fiancee. ![]() On a lighter side---- Am I "robbing the cradle" or is she "Robbing the Grave"??? ![]() _____________________
