Last post before I go back into hiding.

Hey Aeolian, welcome back. Don't go into hiding again :'(

What are you proud of?

As for me, kind of a "hum drum" life. I'm proud of being a mom and my kids make my life happy.

My grandfather is very sick in bed and I'm worried he doesn't have much longer to live.

I'm so sorry to hear this. You will treasure the memories you had with your Grandpa for the rest of your life.

One of the things that is kind of "quirky," but ended up being really neat years later was as follows:

I took one (3) of my Granny's shirts when she passed away. Seemed weird, but now, it's amazing to have.

I was very close to her, and she worked on a ranch bailing hay, fixing fences and feeding horses up to about 6 months before she passed. She had this old work shirt that she wore all the time.

After she passed,I was just wandering through her house and I opened her closet. I saw that shirt and memories of seeing her wearing it flashed in my head. I took it off the hanger, and then I saw THREE OTHER ones that were JUST LIKE IT. I took them, too. I also took her "ranch jacket," that was nothing more than a man's old thick and flannel shirt.

I hung the three shirts up in my closet on one hanger; and her jacket on another hanger. For a long time, they still had her scent. Now, I just look at them from time to time, and the memories flash.

Saying that because most people would not think of taking clothing, I don't think...but maybe you can get one of your Grandpa's old shirts (?) for sweet memories.

I smoked once for the first time ten days ago and I am being drug tested on Sunday?

There's something out there called "The Stuff."

You mix it in water and drink it

I'm stuck.

How are you, Bucking? I wish I could send you some money. 1200 pounds is $1500.00 and that's more spare change than I have at the moment... :'(

I feel like Iโ€™m the girl who never gets the guy.

I read an article recently saying we generally look for mates as people who are 10% more attractive than we are. Now I don't know what scale that's based on, but it's an interesting thought.

Ouch ;) The guys I've dated/been married to are usually not that attractive in the traditional sense...so that's a bit of an "owie" for me, if it's true.

I did date quite a bit in my life, but it was never the guy I was LOOKING at dating. I'd have my eye on someone...who completely ignored me...and another guy would be sort of in the friend zone, and we would end up dating. In my mid to late 20's, I dated guys who were older than me pretty often. But the guys who were "friends" while I was flirting with someone else, ended up being fun guys to date and we had good relationships.

So...be friends first. That is my advice.

:) How are you all?

Awwww, thanks for that, BigAl

Brings a tear to my eye :) or :'( Because it's true that I just want to make a happy home. But once in a while, being treated like a princess is good, too ;)

I don't want to forget but I'm in a bad state making it difficult to hold the thought otherwise I'd wait to say this.

Happy Birthday Yeti :)

Thanks all, for replies. It was sort of a dumb post that I made. My husb is a good guy. He just doesn't have a romantic bone in his body. I'm used to it, for the most part, after all these years. And the older I get, the more glad I am that he didn't spend money foolishly on Valentine Candies, Cards, Birthday Surprises, Flowers, Christmas Gifts, Anniversary Gifts, etc. Because it's my money, too. And there are other things to spend it on. That said, I sure hope my daughter's boyfriends and SO's treat her like a princess.

funny thing. I never liked flowers. they're doomed to die in a few days. other things though last for ever. I mean, who and why said that you must express your love by "sacrificing" something so beautiful? hah

Awww, so thoughtful :) Thank you.

I do like fresh flowers in my house from time to time. I buy them for myself. My sons both get me chocolates and cards for Valentine's Day, which warms my heart more than I can even say.
