poem of a string of thought

It sounds like you need a change of scenery.

(For the older people)

I have to agree that being alone now that I am older is much more pleasurable than it was when I was younger. I used to really enjoy a lot going on and being surrounded by people, and now not so much.

I don't really consider 37 to be 'older people' though. My sister was still having kids when she was 42. When I was 40 I felt about the same as I did when I was 30. I know I changed a lot between being 18 and 25, and again between 25 and 30, but really I didn't start feeling old until I was 50. Things haven't changed that much either.

NFL Superbowl LIII Poll ...

There are still a lot of people out there that hate the Cowboys because they had so much success back in the day. That's the way I feel about New England now. https://media.giphy.com/media/xUOxeQH2UDR0Y4STz...

I'm about to start a new job at a Preschool,

I'd just say to try to interact with the kids as much as possible. Maybe show up with some crafts they can do or something like that so they warm up to you. Bring a pet with you one day for them to play with or whatever you can think of. Get outside the box of just being an adult that's there to spoil their fun. Get down on the floor with them and be a kid.

That's what I did when my children were small and all the neighbor kids loved me. They always wanted to spend the night at our house because my kids daddy was cool and let them do stuff they didn't normally get to do. I still remember hearing one of the kids say everyone wanted to be at our house because I was just like a kid too.

NFL Superbowl LIII Poll ...

My son is a big Cowboys fan. He's just now getting back into football after that catch, not a catch by Dez Bryant that ended their Superbowl run four years ago. https://dubsism.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/dez...

Ex-husband wants overnight visits with my daughter.

What does your daughter think about it? Not that I'd let her decide but if she doesn't want to, then hell no I wouldn't make her go with him no matter what.

Even if she does want to spend some time with "daddy", and I use the term loosely, I wouldn't do it. It sounds like an accident waiting to happen. I just figured she wouldn't want to and that would be a good excuse to say NO!

let us light a candle

True. There wouldn't be a gazillion cows if we didn't mass produce them for meat. The earth will get rid of us eventually, probably by another ice age. I'm not sure why everyone is worried about global warming when global cooling (ice ages) have been responsible for the mass extinctions in the past.

Ex-husband wants overnight visits with my daughter.

So was he even alone with her when she was younger? It seems like he really doesn't deserve to spend much time with her. Does he pay child support and do all that? Has he been doing supervised visits with her all along and this is just the next logical step, or did he just show up and say he wants to take her with him?

I'm with everyone else. Normal people don't threaten their children. I mean I'm half crazy and I've never done anything like that. He seems really out there and untrustworthy. I wouldn't do it.
