About Me

I retired after 20 years of working with mentally challenged persons. Regretfully, my only family is one surviving daughter who does not live near me. At age 50, (I am now 65) after my second divorce, I decided to test my abilities. So---I moved to the country, designed and finished the interior of my own small house. My self respect was greatly improved by managing to install all of the plumbing and some of the electrical in the house. Learning to operate a tractor with a front loader was a little more difficult. A lot of damage was done to trees and out buildings before I got the hang of it. Yes, the tractor has battle scars too. When I ran out of challenges I built some cabins and opened a business renting them to others who enjoyed the outdoors. I have begun running out of steam and have put the business up for sale. I think I will enjoy white water rafting and horseback riding in memories now. It is time to again enjoy fine dining and live plays more. Occasional bouts of depression due to lonliness strike but all in all life is pretty great. 3 dogs provide a lot of companionship. Keeping the number down is hard because someone is always abandoning dogs in the country.

I would love to have friends to shoot the breeze with. Is pen pals an appropriate term now-a-days?

Busy Bee

Hi everyone. Have been running like mad lately so thought I'd talk to you all at once. The hunters are in and keeping me busy. Between cleaning after departures and taking care of their needs while they are there, I fall into bed at night totally exhausted. On top of taking care of others, I decided to put in 2 camper spots and bought a camper for myself so I can stay at the cabins...

ENOUGH

Enough of Michael Jackson already! Yes, the man was extremely talented and one of a kind. I am sick of hearing about him, his family, his children and his money. It has been months since his death now, give me a break!

Hey Carol. You having a busy Fall? Are you having to do alot with your cabins this time of year with all the hunters?

Active-X is a used to run animation in a webpage.  It could be in the advertisements, or from the many animated parts of the website itself.  Are you having trouble seeing any of the animation or advertisements on the site?  It sounds like you might need to update your Windows.

I know. I wish I didn't have to work that day. How was the show? And I'm glad your Daughter is back safe and sound with you. I know my babies will always be my babies and they will be welcomed home with open arms at any age. It's good for you, and good for her too.

You are so FUNNY!!!!!!  I realize I will be "wrong" again.  You are truly a strong woman and that man, who you once loved, is a horses patoot.  You have come very far since that day and if the circumstances were to arise today, I think you might just belt him.  You weren't always an old lady.  Though it may have felt like it.... LOL!!! I am going to copy that admission, blow it up into three inch letters and post it as a blog.  So, there!

oddone,  

It looked like you had turned on the ITALICS in your post to pinkers.  At the top of the comment box are the letters B,  I, and U.  They stand for  Bold,  Italics and Underline.  If you see a box around one of the letters, it means it is on. Just click it to turn it off.

It saddens me even now, all these years later that you repressed your feelings about your son.  You have been through so much.  That line you wrote to Pinkers goes far in explaining why you are divorced.  It is not natural to outlive our children and it is not natural to repress our sadness.  My mom died thirty one years ago and I still cry for her occasionally.  You are strong.  I hope your heart stays healthy.

Dear Carol,

 

Hi sweetie!  Is that you and your daughter laughing on the sofa?  I have 2 daughters and a sonny.  My 2 kids are going to the same college and my middle daughter is "engaged" and living in Fla.

I think you asked me one time about actors because I shared about you and my brother he was a director and traveled the world and was in a movie sorry I have had a very busy summer

Actors and or Actresses are very passionate people who are truly in touch with all there emotions and in my op quite brilliant.  In my mind I have lived in a movie my whole life.  I have a "screen play treatment" kind of written called Ecentric genious...I know its spelled wrong that is the point.

It is how I lived in Fantasy growing up and now as a adult learned how to face reality.  I even know who I wish to be in my movie like really famous people having Bit parts and up and coming actors having major roles.

ALOT of money would go to domestic abused shelters and sexually abused people.

Oh, thank-you Carol for the invite. I have to work until 7pm. Actually, I usually don't get out until 7:30 or so. I'm sure that would be too late to catch the show? If I can't make it to the show maybe we could grab a bite to eat after the show?

Hi there lady.I am still around these days but not as much.I am very busy with work and when I get home I am pooped.Nothing exciting going on,except am so happy to have another grand-child on the way.I told my son that he is going to be like the old woman in the shoe.Now if my daughter could have some kids,but she has PCOS so don't know if she will.

So what's been going on with you,are you behaving yourself?

Take care.

Yvonne

You're too sweet.

That discussion ended on good terms. No blood shed anyway...haha

We should figure out a time to meet for lunch or something sometime since you're close.

Be good and take care. I can't believe Fall is almost here.
