Life As I See It

Thanks so much for sharing. Hope you don't mind, but I borrowed it! It's one I will pass on to some friends via email....with credit for having borrowed it from the blog site!

That's funny....particularly since yesterday, my daughter's dog was 'in trouble' for not listening....and got sent into the house. When I went in, he came to me, looking for some sympathy and lovin' and pee'd on my foot, into my BRAND NEW BIRKENSTOCK SANDAL! Arrgghh!!

Oh no...please forgive me, I just can't resist the urge...."poop poop pee poop"....(sorry, a lame rendition of betty boop....)

What a great article! Thank you so much for sharing it! I know that I have often told tales of my sons escapades growing up, and yet he has turned out ok! He is a son to be proud of too. I can only imagine what those parents are feeling, such a sense of loss and yet such great pride in the fine young man they raised. Thanks again for sharing!

On the bright side, the day went by really fast. And you can say "heck, got all the bad #### out of the way on Monday.....the rest of the week will be a breeze!" Tough getting used to not being able to talk to our loved ones (you with R and me with the Slick One) as often as we want because 'work' gets in the way. But it is something we have to adjust to. At least we know the reason why....they'd be talking to us if they could!!

I'm so happy for you.....I'm extra happy that someone else has found the man of their dreams....that I am not the only blessed one!! C'mon now, I have a big absorbent towel here to catch all the gushing as you spill your guts to us all!!

HA HA HA HA!!!! LOL My reasons exactly for NOT getting lifted and tucked and pinched and squeezed and changed around. Heck, I'm almost 50...I should look like it!

What a positive and optimistic blog! you're getting better, you're enjoying your peace and quiet, you're enjoying the help that comes in and her visits with you, you found a church that might be one you'll keep going to.....what could be better than all that? Nothing except having all of us fellow mybloggers-people to tell it all too!

Some days it is hard to believe that they are 'supposed to be' grown up and living on their own, when they lean on us until we cave in. Standing firm with tough love is the best way....but it will be so hard to do. In the long run, you'll be happier for standing up for yourself. When we willingly climb on a runaway train, headed for disaster it is of our own choosing. You can choose to watch this train just slide on down the tracks. So, SOOOOOO hard to do. You have hugs and prayers from me!!

What a great weekend you had.....even with a headache. Glad it has gone now. I don't mind storms, but do have a healthy respect for them. When mom was in the nursing home, she used to get so mad, because when there were storms, they had to close the drapes, and get them away from the windows. And she wanted to be outside lying in the grass watching the storm, like she had done with her dad when she was little. Those are some of the great memories I have of my mom! Ones I will always treasure!!

Too funny! Took a minute for it to want to play properly, but it finally did. I loved the looks on some of the faces, like they just didn't know quite what to do!

My heart aches for you and for Don....I know exactly what you are talking about.....those tender touches, that which we need so much, the love, the acceptance, the desire.....and yet being so far apart. As it is for the Slick one and I right now.....far too many miles between us...but it is what has to be for now. I can only keep reminding myself "IT IS ONLY TEMPORARY.....IT IS ONLY TEMPORARY....." For one day soon, we will be able to continue on with our lives in the way in which we both feel the most safe, and secure and loved and wanted and needed.......in each others arms. And we won't have *miles* separating....and our voices seeming to only echo in our own minds....feeling that are words are not enough...that our true feelings didn't really travel along with the words.....Oh my, Janet...even my head is reeling....Hugs to ya...and to Don....

Oh yes! I too hate to talk "politics".....too many are too offended. They don't just have their opinion...they ARE RIGHT.....and they will look differently at any of us who see things another way. Most are not open to letting me have my own opinion.....so I choose to stay away from political discussions....same with religion. I have my faith and that is all that matters to me. It's between me and God.......Hope you're well and enjoying life to the fullest!

I didn't see "K's" comments, so can't comment on them myself. All I know is that anyone who chooses to only look at "the cover of the book" is surely missing the treasure held within. You are truly a beautiful man, and you have been blessed by an equally beautiful woman in Janet. I wish you only happiness forever and for always! As for anything that someone says "ewwwww"......I think they need to let themselves feel, rather than just thinking in terms of "dirty" or "too private". Love is a beautiful thing and sexuality is at it's core.

That's all I can say about that! I'm so happy for the both of you! The days of being together all the time is getting closer...have patience and treasure the memories until it's time to make more!
