| from alethia : |
| Glad to read you're still existing. :) I've been working like mad in the ole theatre. Bending over backwards for crazy directors and trying not to kill myself in the process. Completely failing at having a love-life, and not really minding. Wishing I hadn't signed my damned contract, but trying to stick it out nonetheless. Generally being a nuisance. :) |
| from upbeatgal : |
| Hi ya! Hope all is well. I don't get much time to write these days but I wanted to get back to you about my cat Sadie. We dropped off Sadie and Satine to live with friends in the country. Their little grandson was over, left the damn door open and they escaped. No one has seen them since. I'd like to think someone found them and took them in but I imagine that is unlikely. Satine was an escape artist anyway but she did usually stay close by. Sadie would have freaked and hid somewhere because she was still scared of everything. I miss them both. I should have brought them to you, them maybe they would still be around. |
| from starhearts : |
| Been reading along for a few years now and will miss the stories of the cats and the bunnies and Suzanne...if I can come along to your new life I would appreciate it. :) Enjoy your new adventures...will miss you here though! Christine/starhearts |
| from alethia : |
| Oh oh! I am jealous about your cherry tree. It has been a dream of mine to have a cherry tree ever since I was a child. (I know. Simple dreams, but they keep me happy.) |
| from casa-rosie : |
| The lovely thing about living in this day and age is that you can break an engagement, and no one can sue you for breach of promise, or other things like that. But once you are married, it gets much more difficult to extricate yourself. But then, you knew that. But if you are this worried now, what will the future bring? |
| from alethia : |
| If you question your love for her when you see her at her worst, perhaps you shouldn't marry her. |
| from alethia : |
| More like 'hernia-inducingly gorgeous'. Pretty is not a strong enough word. Pretty can be paired with 'pimple-inducingly', or 'lamp-post-collidingly', but hernia's require something a bit stronger. (Note: I've been drinking, so forgive if I make no sense.) |
| from alethia : |
| I miss reading you. I wish you wrote more here. I hope everything works out. |
| from endthelies : |
| Postpone the wedding, and get thee to couples counseling. |
| from lifeasme66 : |
| I don't comment often, but I read all of your writing. Your entry regarding your marriage concerns struck a chord with me. Not that I'm close to marriage, but being in a long term relationship makes you wonder, "could I deal with the things he/she does FOREVER?" It can be a daunting thought, and I hope you find peace of mind. **HUGS!!** |
| from rachelliz : |
| In the members area, under Other stuff, go to Gold member resources. The last option is Click here to download a backup of your diary (for printing, etc.). I know this as I did it recently. I'm getting worried that I should probably move too. We'll see though. |
| from casa-rosie : |
| Now that IS a fast-pay-it-forward! Good for them! Maybe that overpriced gas can got extra use! ANd may there always be someone willing to stop and help you when you need it! |
| from onlymayday : |
| So, he's for union is he? Yosemite Sam would be proud- he's for union too (union suits and union stations). |
| from casa-rosie : |
| My condolences on the loss of Ben. He was a handsome bunny, and at least he knew he was loved. *Hugs* |
| from lifeasme66 : |
| My condolences about Ben =( **HUGS!!** |
| from endthelies : |
| Poor kitty. One of my cats went blind at 11 -although from something different- and he actually learned how to get around pretty quickly. Within two months, I think, he'd learned the whole house. He lived to be about 18. I always felt bad that I couldn't have done something to help him, but he was good at being a blind cat. And he learned to like lap sitting a lot more. |
| from lifeasme66 : |
| Poor Tucker =( **HUGS!!** |
| from wildrosie : |
| I'm so sorry that you kitty has gone blind, especially so young. I'm just finding homes for a litter of kittens, and I pray every day that they find homes like yours, where the humans understand the life-long obligation of being owned by a cat. May his final years be happy ones! Oh, and BTW, great rant the other day! As I say, marriages are made and broken by how much of the other person's bad habits we can tolerate! |
| from miedema2002 : |
| lol you don't have to worry about me moving there. I don't like the country life. I find it boring and too hard to travel. |
| from maliger : |
| Sorry to hear your recent events. Though it was probably a clash that just didn't finalize, because you kept thinking she would change for love's sake. People don't change (most of the time), and if they do for love, they usually do so early on. Good luck. |
| from rachelliz : |
| Can I agree with part of the rant? I'm so with you about the cats. I feel the same about my little dog...when I took her into my home, I made a contract with her to keep her safe. I cannot do anything that compromises that contract, regardless of what that costs me. As for dating a 9-year old...I'm sure I'm like that at times too, but I feel like he's a 9-year old many times. He doesn't know why I separate clothes for laundry! (Not saying he has to do it, but he should understand why it's done.) Oh well. Trying to keep my eyes on the big picture. It's hard at times. |
| from lifeasme66 : |
| Hey there, just wanted to say I enjoyed your rant entry. Why? Because it was honest and human. My boyfriend pisses the shit out of me too sometimes. At the end of the day (or week), I still love him and wouldn't trade our relationship for anything, but I do need to vent all of that other crap he does, otherwise I'd bite his head off. Venting allows me to take a deep breath and carry on. Kudos to you! **HUGS!!** |
| from onlymayday : |
| I'm assuming the old lady with the bowling pins PS was you? Just a lurker, not a Farker, but that made me cringe. |
| from miedema2002 : |
| Hey, how are ya? Just thought I'd drop a line. :D |
| from miedema2002 : |
| I've never heard of those gritty bath matts before. Hmm I'll have to go searching. Thanks for the tip. |
| from onlymayday : |
| Hehe, I've been collecting Halloween-y music for about four years now just for that purpose. Unfortunately, we currently live in the town with the university that had Halloween riots, so kids here ToT at the mall. Woo hoo. Bald Mountain's the song at the tail end of Fantasia, right? I'd forgotten about that one, I do have Rite of Spring, though. My Tubular Bells was obtained using Google's directory search, so, in a word, no, but I may have to go legitimate just to get a copy with those notes. Also, I only have Part One, so getting a copy would be worth it to have the second part. (I happen to think it's pretty, apart from the creepy associations.) |
| from lifeasme66 : |
| Hello there, I just wanted to drop by and say thanks for adding me! I've gotta admit, your little blurb under my name in your favorites list intrigues me. Don't mind me if I peruse your archives a bit =) **HUGS!!** |
| from onlymayday : |
| Apparently, the sweet fried things are dipped in the funnel cake batter, not the onion ring batter. Makes it sound less disgusting, anyway. Lived ten blocks from the Iowa State Fair as a kid- we knew they broke records if people were parking outside our house. |
| from alethia : |
| At the Stampede here in Calgary this year they had deep fried cheesecake on a stick (I didn't dare try it) and deep fried Coke. How did that work? I'm not entirely sure. I think they mostly just dropped Coke syrup into frying grease and gave you a cup of the results. |
| from second-love : |
| Happy Birthday! ;) |
| from miedema2002 : |
| I sent it through hotmail. I sent it to your original turtle account. Please tell me go it! haha I wrote you got tit and then corrected it! HAHA lame I know! XD |
| from miedema2002 : |
| I sent it, Let me know if you get it ok? if not I'll try sending it through my hotmail. I sent it via diaryland this time. |
| from noaddedme : |
| You left off people who pull out in front of you when you are close enough to see what's stuck in their teeth (even though there is no one behind you for miles) and then TURN. Some times I seriously think of following them until they park and seeing how my foot looks up their ass. |
| from miedema2002 : |
| You are right about all that. The only thing I get from it is stress, but also a little relief that I am helping someone feel better and letting them vent, but sometimes it gets too much. You have NO IDEA how much my phone has been ringing today and I know it's her, because if it was anyone else they'd try my cell after. |
| from rachelliz : |
| Congrats on the award! As for worry, it all makes sense, but sometimes I find it hard to follow through. My main problem is what you mentioned: people don't do what I want them to do when I want them to do it! Other than that, everything is good. |
| from upbeatgal : |
| Too much stress in my life maybe causing the migraines. But there are foods that can trigger them, other medications, and numerous other things. Unfortunately, I have always gotten bad headaches and have always managed to deal with them. Lately, they have been getting much worse. Joe & I are good, it is the worry about my parents, the worry over the visitation battle and other stuff that I think could be doing it, Or just plain old age. LOL. I tried sending an email to you at Fred.net but it bounced back to me. |
| from onlymayday : |
| The bottom end of Illinois about halfway between St. Louis and Evansville (in other words, not quite nowhere). I dunno if it was a Rolls, but it was a big long boxy cream and gold car- it wasn't round like Lincolns and Mercedes Benzes tend to be. |
| from upbeatgal : |
| Part of us wants to wash our hands of it but we have been told by the counselor and his daughter's lawyer through the counselor that Annette would never recover if we were to walk away now. Yet she does not want to be with us at least she says that. It is a weird situation and we are trapped until we go to court for a hearing. We have filed for a hearing on the case and it will end one way or another! It is shitty to say the least. It has cost him $50k in money already over the past several years. |
| from miedema2002 : |
| Thanks for the concerning note. I've fucked around with it way worse than missing a day. I once missed doses for over a week and I had major flue like symptoms not just dizziness and spaced out like I get when I miss 2 or more. I had the shits, vomiting, pain all in my body, no energy, close to passing out. I'm still amazed I made it to the store after I caved into getting more. Mind you it took throwing up blood to make me go and start taking them again lol! Yeah never doing that again! I learned my lesson. Skipping on day usually isn't a big deal for me especially since I would be taking it the next morning anyways. A little mood fluctuation but that's about it. I guess it effects peopple in different ways. |
| from onlymayday : |
| Thanks. |
| from onlymayday : |
| That stretch of I-70 has been like that over a month. I drove it in June, but thankfully it was a Tuesday at eleven, so the traffic wasn't bad. |
| from miedema2002 : |
| lol an apple computer fan eh? |
| from miedema2002 : |
| Yeah, despite all that. I love diaryland! It's my favourite blogging site and I wouldn't leave for anything. If I wasn't in college and low on money I would help support the site, but I will buy a gold membership in July and then I'll see if I can afford it from there. Diarlyland is the best! I love the templates, features, diaryrings, community etc. everyone is so supportive and kind, not like other sites. LJ I have had particularily bad experiences in regards to personal blogging. People harrassing me etc. That is why I only use lj for the transgender community that is very few on this site. Other then that I live her. Sorry to ramble. bye. |
| from miedema2002 : |
| I notice Diaryland has quieted down a lot. I think there should be more advertisement of the site on the net overall and also better features to attract people to the site. I mean diaryland makes members pay for features that other sites offer for free. That is my opinion anyway. I don't do anything other than recommend the site to my friends. Most people aren't interested, but whatever. I don't do much. Sorry I didn't help much. |
| from miedema2002 : |
| It must be a time for depressive symptoms. I also suffer from depression and my sleeping patterns have been off for awhile too. Oddly enough I'd never heard of Ambien before. I used to be on Celexa but it made me sleepy all the time, so I have been on Effexor for a year and a bit and it's helped keeping me awake. Do you have bi-polar or unipolar? I'm unipolar. |
| from miedema2002 : |
| I looked at it and I don't see anything wrong with it. Could it be your computer? |
| from miedema2002 : |
| hmmm that's odd you are the first person to compain about that. Can you describe to me how it makes it hard to read so I can try to fix it? |
| from miedema2002 : |
| Hello, I found you through your banner. I searched some of your entries. I am not completely up to speed, but I'm sorry Audrey died. Maybe you could give me the rundown? lol Thanks. |
| from rachelliz : |
| I'm sorry to hear about Audrey. |
| from wildrosie : |
| I popped in from your banner, I thought I was the only one to call that the "Preparation H Song"! I was sorry to hear about Audrey passing away, it's always hard to lose our babies. |
| from upbeatgal : |
| Congratulation on your upcoming marriage and I assume engagement! Glad you have found happiness once again. |
| from sundaygirl : |
| i can give you a login, just email me! and i'm going to keep the diary locked for the time being because while i'm not working for someone as high profile as diddy anymore, i'm still "in the business" as it were... |
| from onlymayday : |
| Congratulations, sir. |
| from pyroguysr : |
| I noticed that you were one of Tony's (T85225) friends. Perhaps you read his blogs about his battle with cancer. I'm sad to report that he succumbed and passed away this week at age 49. He was a good online friend of mine and will be sorely missed. I left some details on his D-land diary notes. |
| from awittykitty : |
| Personally I would have paid to see someone running around filming bunnies with the lid of a laptop, but that's just me. Like the Duke Ellington soundtrack. |
| from sundaygirl : |
| you just made my afternoon. |
| from upbeatgal : |
| Yes, it still is the Peg-TG50. Matt replaced the battery but I think it is dead anyway. I charged it but it seems to be froze on the screen where it says "Tap Here". I have reset it a few times today but no luck yet.I'll let it charge overnight, if that doesn't work well then I guess I buy a new one. Hey that was one of the best gifts I ever got. I literally used it every day! |
| from onlymayday : |
| Thank you for telling a mouse story without it sounding like some weird taboo. All my friends think mice are the home equivilent to lice (as one of them said, "My God, it's one letter away!") and having lived in a mice prone house as a kid, I used to wonder if there was something wrong with us. An incredibly stupid thing to comment on, but yes. |
| from second-love : |
| I love that last line about the nail clippers...classic |
| from rachelliz : |
| I'm sorry to hear about your kitties. |
| from second-love : |
| Im so sorry for your loss...thats hard. |
| from sundaygirl : |
| i'm sure they mean "1 or 2 glasses of red wine" is good for you. Not, say... the entire bottle. Oh and I would never get pregnant because everyone else is. I'm only considering it before i have to have my insides removed. |
| from upbeatgal : |
| Amen to that message... I take it you read my stupid message...and today was no better. Arhg. Still more stupid people to deal with. |
| from tailbonelust : |
| Oh, and no nylons. I'm not sure if it's good or bad that my legs look like they've got a layer of fabric over them.... Hmm. |
| from tailbonelust : |
| Haha. Well, I edited out scars, and adjusted the brightness and contrast. |
| from rachelliz : |
| You were governor of Texas??? |
| from t85225 : |
| yeah... you didn't want any condolence-type comments, but it still sucks. Go have a few brews, work a lot of overtime... and reclaim your bathroom. :) |
| from cardiogirl : |
| Did it get easier going on first dates after so many? I hated dating. |
| from cardiogirl : |
| You're interesting. Do you really date that much? |
| from tootiturtle : |
| Thanks for the tips on the flea situation. We had a couple (of people) living in our basement for about 3 months and the fleas moved in with them. They're only in the basement and not anywhere else, so they're not on our pets or us (unless we go downstairs). They seem to be living in the exposed insulation in the unfinished part of our basement. This has truly been a nightmare. Hopefully I'll see an exterminator in our future. |
| from rachelliz : |
| Frustrating about Suzanne. Hopefully it's a one time thing. I am so impressed by people who sleep though that I probably would just look at her in awe. |
| from onlymayday : |
| "Only Jesus saves", man, I wish I could find the opening to use that on a computer illiterate Fundie I know... Teach him to write bad allegory, yes it wouldn't. Sigh. Anyway, have been reading for a while now, can't recall if I've dropped praise. I enjoy: in some ways you remind me of my husband, so it's fun to read because it's almost like what he should write, if he did write, which he doesn't, but you do. (Er, trust me, there was a compliment in there.) |
| from t85225 : |
| Dude! call it a day.... go home and sleep in something other than a VW! (wonder how much of that code is going to end up stuck in QA? hehehe ) |
| from second-love : |
| Congrats...i am so happy for you! |
| from zencelt : |
| Didn't you find Suzanne in another state? LOL! OK. Advise me. I'm at a loss! |
| from rachelliz : |
| In response to your note, I got comments! Try them out. Let's see if they work. |
| from upbeatgal : |
| Thanks for the tip. The wires were crossed on the DVD system on one of the speakers. Works like a charm now. |
| from d1mndn3r0ugh : |
| Happy birthday! |
| from banefulvenus : |
| LOVED your hamster banner!!! |
| from endthelies : |
| But, but... http://www.lalalingerie.com/products.php?id=22 ? |
| from endthelies : |
| But what about white knee highs with a cute little kilt and the right shoes? I'm sorry, but I think you're wrong. Knee highs will always have a place in the world. Besides old lady legs. |
| from endthelies : |
| I know it's late, but I just had to say I loved the Chester video. It was such a nice tribute. I was cleaning off the knick knacks on the shelves in my bedroom the other day, and I found my first cat's collar. I was in primary school when she died, and I hadn't seen that collar in years, but it still made my cry a little. |
| from banefulvenus : |
| clicked on your great slaw banner! Love it! |
| from awittykitty : |
| I just clicked on your diary randomly and am now sitting here weeping. After my last cat got hit by a car, they no longer go out. Its just too painful. Chester looked like a wonderful, loving kitty. What a nice tribute. |
| from second-love : |
| That was a sweet video. I finally had to give up having kitties because i lost two on the road in front of our home. The last one i lost nearly did me in. But that was a wonderful tribute. |
| from ticktrix : |
| That was a beautiful tribute. I haven't cried that hard in a long time. |
| from upbeatgal : |
| Thank you for the note. Life is good. Challenging at times but very good. I wish you all the best! Pen |
| from sinsear777 : |
| It always amazes me how fanatical people get about breeding and the reactions you get when you tell them it's not for you. It's not like I tell anyone THEY shouldn't have kids, but people with kids always try to say there's something wrong with ME. |
| from metame : |
| um, that slaw banner, I nearly fell out of my chair. |
| from second-love : |
| She "dithers" because she has been an independent woman and probably doesnt want to just pitch it all and rely completely on you so quickly. Its difficult to suddenly and totally rely on another person (even if it IS a wonderful offer) after you've been relying on yourself and only yourself. Give her time...she'll see the offer for what it is soon enough - AWESOME! |
| from second-love : |
| $2.99!!!! Good GOD thats cheap. We've been paying upwards of $3.59, $3.69 or more here in CA for quite some time. It cost me 9.00 and change yesterday to fill up my puny ass harley sportster gas tank!!! sigh |
| from alethia : |
| Sounds like she's looking for character shoes, or the equivilant. http://www.dance4less.com/CH53_character_shoes.htm |
| from second-love : |
| Its so nice to hear you happy and content and so connected with someone. |
| from wyndspirit : |
| I clicked on your adorable banner. Sorry to hear about your cat. I am a cat person, too. If you're meant to have another kitten, it will find you, and you will know. |
| from second-love : |
| Im so sorry for your loss too. I feel so deeply too when one of my little children die :( |
| from rachelliz : |
| I'm so sorry to hear about Marnie. |
| from dana-elayne : |
| I'm so sorry about your kitty! |
| from dinosaurorgy : |
| I almost started crying (not kidding) after reading about your kitten. My cat is 4, going on 5 -- I have no idea what I'd do if he died. (I don't know if you'll find this as odd as I did, but when I started reading your entry, I was listening to "Angel" by Aerosmith.) |
| from d1mndn3r0ugh : |
| I am so sorry for your loss. |
| from iwantobeliev : |
| I am madly in love with your take-off-on-the Matrix banner. i sincerely think it's ingenius. yay! |
| from rachelliz : |
| That's great about Suzanne. Crossing my fingers that it continues to go well for you. |
| from banefulvenus : |
| Clicked on your great balls of fur banner... LOVED your site just as much as the banner! |
| from sundaygirl : |
| I know! email me for the p-word. |
| from nerddette : |
| Some say that the right partner for you is the one that makes you feel safe enough to face your demons and tackle those places in your mind where previously you have feared to tread. A positive partner should challenge your insecurities and provide a secure place for you to grow and stop the stagnation. This all sounds wonderful and I'm very happy for you. Makes me raise my bar a little higher - I want this too! :) BTW, I have to ask, what's happenin' with Kelly? t. |
| from boann7 : |
| lovely reading you like this. wishing you the forever love. =) |
| from second-love : |
| So thrilled for you - nice to hear you happy. |
| from second-love : |
| I hope it ends up being everything you want it to be. |
| from rachelliz : |
| Looks like things are going well. Enjoy it. |
| from f-i-n : |
| people are ugly in miami too....ugly on the inside. |
| from boann7 : |
| you have been tagged... see may 23 entry in my diary |
| from second-love : |
| Love the "slaw" banner. I already read you but actually clicked through to you from that banner. Very funny :) |
| from i-found-him : |
| Sorry! If you give me your e-mail address (I'll delete the note if you leave it in my notes section), I'll e-mail the info you need. |
| from kestra : |
| I think when you are a teacher, the area you are in does make a difference. There's a different culture in different areas, and some groups of people you can get along with better than others. So I hope the new district will be better for Kelly. In regards to parents and teachers, it always bothers me when I hear people talk of it as a sort of conflict of interest. Both parents and teachers should have the interests of the child in mind. When teachers say that they don't like children in general, then I have to ask myself why they chose such a profession? After all, you have to go through four years, or more, of college for it. If you asked me, it takes more conscious thought to become a teacher than it does to become a parent. After all, becoming a parent can take as little as one night of "fun" without any contraception, and so it can conceivably require very little thought to become a parent. This is not to say that everybody thinks little before becoming a parent, but I would assume that every teacher has to think a lot about becoming a teacher before making that decision. I am majoring in teaching for the secondary level. Now I would think of myself as a complete moron if I didn't think to myself, "This could be a really tough job, and sometimes kids can be downright unpleasant." You have to be willing to deal with that, though, and believe that somehow you are making a difference for the better. That difference should be in helping another child, assuming that they have the potential to be good students, if they're not already. While the children are in school, the parents are not there to be responsible for the child, so anything that happens is the responsibility of the adult present (whether it's a teacher, bus driver, or somebody else). I think sometimes people get lazy, and shuffle off the responsibility of misbehaviors to the parents, because they don't feel like dealing with it while they're in school. Maybe they're just afraid of getting in trouble. However, I believe that no matter what the rules are at home, children can learn that the same rules do not apply while you are in school. If you didn't think you should have the responsibility of dealing with other people's children, don't sign up for the job. Not everyone is cracked up for it. Lastly, I agree with you that I think that teachers are severely undervalued for the tough job that they do. I don't think it would be financially feasible to pay teachers what they are worth, though. After all, another thing you have to realize is that schools are a sort of daycare, so that parents can go back to work. If the schools cost more than one of the parents income, then there would be no financial incentive to have both parents in the workplace. That would probably mean it's the mother who stays at home to teach the children. Even if mothers stayed at home to teach their children, that would still be a job that is severely undervalued for the pain and grief that you have to go through for it sometimes, too. However, like I said, I don't think everybody has the patience to be a teacher, and so that may be another reason that it is hired out to someone else. :-) |
| from nerddette : |
| You might consider closing your e-trade link as the whole entry is a link. t. |
| from starhearts : |
| PS. You might think to join the Cat link for Diaryland for cat owners :) See there are people who love animals out there still!!!! :) |
| from starhearts : |
| The lady you write about has to be a dog lover and certainly cannot have met your cats!!! (WHO ARE LOVELY NO MATTER WHAT!!!) As I said in a past note, I love animals on this end and have 4 dogs, 10 gps, 6 bunnies, 6 gerbils, 4 hamsters, 3 chinchillas, and 3 pet rats...we have a pet rescue so they come and go some, but 3 or 4 cats would be normal in this house (I use to have some fosters here too but they got homes...they were lovely)!!! You are certainly not as insane as I am about animals, they are just your good friends and someone will fall for them of that I am sure!!!!! C. |
| from kestra : |
| Yeah, what kind of monster hates cats? I thought everybody loved them! :-) Well, except for the mice, that is... Maybe you've just been going out with mice, instead of women! Sorry, I was thinking of the saying, "Are you men, or mice?" Hey, I guess it applies, because some of the women you have talked about sound kind of cowardly. Afraid of a bad first date? Talk about a super snap decision. |
| from zencelt : |
| Hello again. It is so nice to hear from "recovered" financial fuck-ups. It gives me hope that I won't be an asshole for my ENTIRE life. Have a lovely week! |
| from starhearts : |
| Hi Just dropping through. Thought I would catch your banner as I like pets..the turtle is very cute as a pic :) Enjoyed reading so far, thanks. |
| from srch4balance : |
| Newark, huh? So close, Turtle! Sorry to hear your stay in my hometown was not up to par. :( |
| from boann7 : |
| i think i need to create a list of questions like that. |
| from nerddette : |
| Just out of interest ... when I was on nicotine patches I had the most horrendous nightmares. Thought I'd mention it in case you have recently started doing something that you may not realise is affecting your sleep. Hope they stop soon. :( t. |
| from prissy-pants : |
| Thanks for the advice on arriving on time. I never quite thought of it that way. I am usually 5 to 10 minutes late everywhere I go. I don't intend to, it just happens....traffic...flat tire....can't find my keys, etc. My first date with "Mr Wonderful" I was late because I got stuck at work. AS SOON as I arrived he got a business call and had to leave the table for a bit, so I was stuck there waiting for him then.LOL. Karma! I guess no harm done,because we just had Date #4 and things are going strong!! |

| Hi, theturtle. That is it, just "hi". I like your bliggity blog, y0. |
| from zencelt : |
| Hey there! Yeah, my farty-ex-friend (woo hoo!) is giving me the Amish shunning treatment. She thinks that only FAT white chicks date black men, because black men are all pimps and drug dealors, and all FAT women would rather be taken advantage of than be alone. And she can't understand why a smart, pretty, nice, not-fat woman like me is doing dating one, but since I am I must be trailer trash now. So, she hooked me up with a woman she works with who dates a black man (who BTW is also not a pimp or drug dealor) as my new friend. Pretty retched, huh? So, I guess unless she has some deeply buried love of rasta, she doesn't want him. But you just never know... On that note, have a lovely Easter! |

| I was busy uploading images for future posts when your slaw banner came up and distracted me with an out loud laugh. |
| from breatheasigh : |
| hia..thanks for the interesting and funny read..very honest..i often have some great..witty..profound and totally hilarious (maybe not) thoughts for entries when i'm in the shower..and by the time i'm dried and dressed they are gone so my poor diary gets the afterthoughts..which are not always that great..maybe they should invent something which types out your thoughts without being spoken..though that could be dangerous in many ways ;o) |
| from ladyvaduva : |
| stumbled upon a banner u had up.. the 'I fought the slaw and the slaw won' and I almost fell over right there.. read some entries and I will definetly be back to read more... totally enjoyable.. and u like rufus wainwright and heard him before moulin rouge.. ur in my good books !! cheers!! |
| from i-found-him : |
| I actually liked the pears better, too, but I decided that if I had to keep squinting and adjusting my own screen, other people were probably having trouble reading it as well. Thanks for the note. :) |

| i like you. i think. |
| from prissy-pants : |
| Lets chalk this latest entry up as a moment of temporary insanity, shall we? I am sure that things will look different in the light of day. Please don't ever settle and change the core of who you are for anyone else,least of all a woman. |
| from dana-elayne : |
| Um, as for the Reston woman....RUN! |
| from rachelliz : |
| Ya know, I have men tell me they think I'm 20 pounds lighter than I am on a regular basis. I think a lot of women are denser than you might think. |

| Well, in the interest of being fair, the un for my diary is friend and the pw is sunflower. |
| from prissy-pants : |
| Why is it that I feel a twinge of jealousy every time I read that you have met someone new?? Strange indeed. |
| from rachelliz : |
| Thanks for your note...I hadn't thought of the entry as optimistic, but I guess in some ways it is. As for your entry, don't #3 and #4 conflict? I have made such an effor to be able to go out by myself and through that, have met so many people. If you move up here to Boston, lemme know. I will hook you up with some great groups. 8) |

| from kestra : |
| A drive on the road will make you aware of how many people there are in just your city, but in some places of the world, it's even worse, and I know that's hard to believe, because it's pretty bad here. :-) This really sounds like the kind of rant that I would make, though! Yes, there are plenty of people in the world. I don't think we can ever expect people to have the self-control to STOP having sex. It's unreasonable to expect that it will ever happen, because there are too many hormonal men that want to have sex out there. A stop by one of the Yahoo chat rooms will make you aware of that. ;-) I think something that CAN happen is for people to start using contraception to control their numbers. In some places, it would mean merely making contraception available to the population, but in some cultures, it would require changing backward cultural values from finding contraception socially unacceptable and changing it to being socially acceptable. That could be a tough order, though. There are only two ways to control human numbers: voluntarily or involuntarily. Voluntarily, contraception will be the only way to fix and control the world population overflow, in my opinion. Failing to take the voluntary method, we will eventually have to take the involuntary method of controlling the world population. Death by starvation will inhibit an ever increasing population because there is a limit to the amount of food we will be able to produce - though, who knows when it will be reached - we will probably be miserable long before then, though. Given a choice between voluntarily or involuntarily, I would think that voluntarily controlling the population would be a preferable way of going about it. Of course that goes against the human condition, which is to make our lives as miserable as possible, so that we can bemoan our human condition. :-) |

| Official Delurking: Thank you so much for your diary... Alison would be crazy not to respond well to that beautiful letter. |

| Feel better...I too would rather live a good life than a long life suffering in the end. |
| from dana-elayne : |
| I'm glad you're running as fast as you can from Linda. I'm sorry, but anyone who will be so negative and unkind before you even have a relationship will be hell on wheels once you're in a relationship. That was a huge red flag going up! |
| from dandydandy : |
| I remember you mentioning, somewhere in your diary, a place you use for printing your digital pics. You gave a favorable "review." Would you mind dropping me a note with the web addy? Just now, I clicked through a bunch of your entries trying to find it, but the mention could very well be buried deep in ancient shit. If you find this request to be a big pain in your ass, just pretend I never asked. :) |
| from pinkytusk : |
| TT- I really find it hard to believe that with your writing you haven't scored the woman of your dreams yet.. you rock.. Pinkytusk. |
| from rachelliz : |
| I don't know if you've responded to Alison yet, but I would thank her for being straightforward. As I'm sure you know, that's such a rare quality. It sucks that it didn't work out, but better to know than not, right? |
| from second-love : |
| Sometimes throwing money is the kindest thing you can do. |
| from second-love : |
| Dang... her loss |
| from rachelliz : |
| I really liked your "I am" entry. |
| from jehsika : |
| Why should you hide your grey hair? It often makes a man look dashing. But you should of course do as makes you comfortable. I liked that entry, though short it leads to more profound thinking. I like that, things that make me think. |
| from rachelliz : |
| Thanks for adding me. I should be reading you I think...I need a male perspective on dating. I talk to too many women. |
| from prissy-pants : |
| Have you ever been to Chattanooga? Its a beautiful city, although alittle dreary this time of year. You could see the sights and take me to lunch. |
| from prissy-pants : |
| You could fly to Tennessee, hee hee hee ;) |
| from prissy-pants : |
| I could swear the Z's entry reads like YOU are/were a date of hers as well. Maybe theres more to her rant than her bruised ego over your questioning of her worth. |
| from second-love : |
| Amen brother and well put. I am always amazed by people that post a public diary... then get all disgusted when they get comments that they dont like. If all you want it positive affirmation - go find a 12 step meeting that will give ya that. kudos for your reply |
| from zonoria : |
| I'm smart, witty, and gorgeous, and that is worth more than a drunken slob. I have enough smart, witty, and gorgeous men knocking on my door that I don't need to put up with that nonsense from anyone. Now, so that you can't make any more obnoxious, irritating comments in my diary, I've banned your IP address. I'm sick of your arrogance and your judgements. Please go bother someone else. |
| from prissy-pants : |
| Did I offend you? No matter what you think you are worth, you have touched me with your writing. Sometimes I think I feel your pain because my social life is like the desert as well. We have a lot in common, you and I. |
| from beltwaybelle : |
| That's not being a "pussy." It's being honorable and a man about it. And why does slang for female genitalia correspond to BAD things? At any rate, looks are important, no matter how anyone tries to deny it, because physical attraction is important. If not, then you wouldn't have had such a problem with the bat mitzvah date, or fat women. |
| from beltwaybelle : |
| I disagree with second-love. Poor form, friend, to cancel at the last minute like that. Sorry, but it's the truth. |
| from second-love : |
| YES!! You ARE better then that! Happy New Year, turtle |
| from second-love : |
| I LOVE your rants - they are the BEST!! I say more RANTS in 2006:)))... hope your shoulder feels better and that you have a merry christmas |
| from beltwaybelle : |
| I'm not offended that younger men come on to me. I just dallied with one Friday night, actually, and when it comes to sex, I'll take younger over my age or older every single time. Just that these last three days it has gotten to be ridiculous. My sisters and I all tend to end up with younger men. The 52-year-old is seeing a 37-year-old. I like to think it's good genes and a snappy, hip attitude. But 24 to 39, nothing can ever be serious with that. |
| from second-love : |
| You arent stupid... but you ARE just like the rest of us. And "the rest of us" feel pretty stupid MOST of the time :)) |
| from beltwaybelle : |
| Why is it that whenever someone, male or female, doesn't find someone physically attractive, that person is deemed "shallow?" It's a matter of taste. There are plenty of men who don't find me attractive. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with them. It means I just don't do it for them. |
| from essaywriter : |
| I suppose it's entirely possible that our paths have crossed, as we both live in the D.C. area and are doing the online dating thing, but I don't think I've ever clicked on anyone up your way. But what makes you think that? Do you bike? Hmmm. |
| from second-love : |
| Damn... i love that "stupid people" entry... you GO |
| from beltwaybelle : |
| Oh dear GAWD, that moccasin chick! WHAT was she thinking? I hate to break it to you, though. You nullified your Nice Guy Points when you didn't do the world a favor by backing over her on your way out of her driveway. ;-) Hope you have fun tonight! |
| from koi-ishly : |
| the title got me =) adding you. |
| from beltwaybelle : |
| That's amore! |
| from beltwaybelle : |
| Clicked on a great balls of fur banner. LOOK at those KITTY FEET! Heh. |
| from planet-maxx : |
| Just passin' through. Like the entries, also like cats, and sex, not with cats though, Euuww, brings a whole new meaning to lickin pussy. Hmmm may have outstayed my welcome, time to go. Nice diary btw. |
| from beltwaybelle : |
| Hates to say she told you so, but... |
| from beltwaybelle : |
| Heh, LOVE your thoughts on the minivan/SUV road-cloggers. That's why I don't drive around here! Glad you had a nifty adventure over Thanksgiving. |

| from nerddette : |
| You're in just the right mood to appreciate this: http://www.intellectualwhores.com/masterladder.html Somewhat misogynist but there is some truth in it. GLIYS. ;) t. |
| from beltwaybelle : |
| What on earth are people doing asking you how many people you slept with? That's a nunya. As in, "nunya bidness." All anyone needs to know is whether there's an allergy to latex. I can see some questions though, even if it sounds like a weeding process, because we all have our deal-breakers. A fervent love of George Bush is mine. It's a world-view thing. Not looking to have kids either, so if someone is in a rush to get married and have a family, I'm not the one. So I do try to find that stuff out early so as to waste no one's time. It's all a balance, grasshopper. If you're feeling burned out, maybe it's time for a break. The holidays and all of their glorious distractions are coming anyway. |
| from prissy-pants : |
| I would be interested in picking your brain because I seem to be dealing with the same sort of issues in the dating world that you are. I found out last night that one guy I was crazy about, who wasn't ready for a relationship when we met is dating someone else now and another whom I went out with twice is engaged to be married. I can't for the life of me figure out just what I am doing wrong. Maybe two heads are better than one and together we could solve the mystery. You can find me on Yahoo as cherilynn00. |
| from jehsika : |
| I found, "Dating advice, whether you want it or not: August 23, 2004," to be very interesting. Perhaps it will even be helpful. Your diary is also fascinating in it's honesty. Thank you. |
| from beltwaybelle : |
| Clicked on a banner. As I was reading through your diary, I thought, "Oh dear. Sounds like he's in my area and doing Madtch or Wahoo. I wonder if we've ever clicked on each other." Heh. Anyway, don't mind me while I poke around in your cabinets. |
| from nerddette : |
| I find 'blogging' the results of the autopsy of situations a great way to clear my head. I very seldom show people I know my blog and even now I have bleeding-heart-do-gooder demanding that I remove him from my blog! HAA! I don't think so - you impact on my life and you risk a mention. Thanks for your diary. t. |
| from second-love : |
| I also have several friends who think it a bit "nutty" that i have an online diary. It bothers them extensively that i would write private stuff down for others to read even if i do change the names etc. And GOD FORBID if i write about THEM. I happen to agree with you that there is more craziness in those that DONT express who they are honestly anywhere... what do they really have to hide? |
| from second-love : |
| Glad you are feeling better and less down. You were worrying me there for a bit. It seemed your were slipping down into the abyss (i can relate). And your readers are very astute (present company included *grin*)... sometimes when you take the focus OFF looking for something, it appears right in front of you :))) |
| from dandydandy : |
| Good lord I've spent too much time reading your diary. Its intriguing though. At first I thought it was just-another-funny-guy diary, but then I went to old shit and couldn't stop reading. Thanks for being so interesting. |
| from prissy-pants : |
| I am trying out the Guest Posters feature. If you have anything that you would like Prissy's fans to know please feel free to add what you like. Thanks and hope you are well. |
| from x-plicity : |
| When I was married, it was torture...the worst years of my life. After it was all over I decided I didn't want anyone else and then BAM! I met the man of my dreams. Maybe what you need to do is boycott women for a while. Become uninterested and then they'll start flocking to you like pigeons in that 1963 move The Birds! Yesh... |
| from cactus-blood : |
| I think you're centralizing the idea of having a woman way too much in your life. Think about something else, because you sound like a boring lump of wouldbeporno. And, she's right, you only find the right person when it happens to me. You can't go actively search for it - you always miss the best things that way. |
| from prissy-pants : |
| Perhaps you should just take a break and see what happens. I'm not saying to give up looking entirely, just not to focus on it so hard. While my most recent guy is not the love of my life yet and I know that he may never be, I met him when I wasn't looking. {I was actually in that particular spot to see another man who has since turned out to be a great friend instead of a potential mate.} He took me by surprise and swept me off my feet. I treasure the moments that we have shared and I wouldn't trade them for anything. While he is not perfect and our relationship is on the down side right now, I am still thankful for knowing him. My point is that you should put your wish out there for the universe to hear and then take a break. Let the forces that be bring what you desire. BTW, am I being too much of a buttinski???? Just wondering. I tend to be a little pushy sometimes, LOL. |
| from serenaville : |
| I'm the culprit from Syracuse, reading via Road Runner. Way down in your notes a pace, is where I first said hello. I've since added you to my buddy list, and obviously check back faithfully. So, now you know the diary ident and ISP are one and the same. I wouldn't just lurk, nowadays I realize how disturbing it can be for people. Anyhow, mystery solved, for better or worse! :) |
| from elgac : |
| I'm from the Woodruff center in Atlanta. Don't tell any body. I need to get my own computer but until then, I shall make due. If you read me, sorry about the spelling mistakes. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. |
| from dana-elayne : |
| My boy is willing to move and that has made all the difference in our lives. We know that it is not going to be easy, but we want to be together. I went through a lot of crap before I got to him. He's not perfect, but he's certainly the imperfect I can live with. He makes me angry sometimes, but most importantly he makes me happier most of the time. I hope you can find her. I know that she's out there somewhere. All of this getting hurt will lead, hopefully, to someone wonderful. |
| from prissy-pants : |
| I feel your pain. Far too many times the things that I thought were wonderful turn out to be a mirage as well. I often wonder after the fact just WHY did I think it was so great to start with. Currently tings with my guy (if I could HONESTLY refer to him as that) have not been so great. My head knows that an end to the relationship is whats best, but my heart seems to have trouble adjusting to the fact. Thank you for putting yourself out there for the rest of us to identify with. |
| from pattypat : |
| Hi - I'm your brown connection, though I'm certainly not a student. Thanks for your diary - I need insight into men, since I'm married to one and made one - they are still mysterious. I'm sorry you aren't finding the right connections. I worry that after a while, we tend to overthink things and forget to just be with the person. Keep your heart open. |
| from nerddette : |
| Who are you? Nerddette I live in Brisbane, Australia and my ISP is iprimus. I have been reading you for over a year now and really enjoy your heterosexual male point of view. It gives me insight into what may be going on in the heads of all those single males around me. :) The geek in me also enjoys the tech stuff. Thankyou for sharing your life with me et al. t. |

| I'm the Catonsvile IP. I know what you mean, I'm getting freaked out right now over a bazillion hits I've received in the past three days from another Catonsville IP. Oh, and no, I don't know Essex personally, but I know who she is and I see she's already identified herself to you so yay! |
| from macrocarpa : |
| I suppose that I'd be the Seton Hall one. Honestly I've no clue why I read, but I have been for a while and your writing is oddly addictive. Is that a compliment? Sure. |

| Hi, I'm the one from near Boston. Well, my IP is from there, I live in East Cupcake. I've just emailed you through D-land, and I thought this would perhaps prevent you from deleting it. :) |
| from kestra : |
| I've always wondered at who the host addresses belong to on my stats page, but generally I know where most of my readers from since I don't have that many in the first place, but there are still a few left I don't know. Maybe I'll do what you did. And to answer your question - I'm the essex.md.comcast address, and no, I don't know who the catonsville person is, so I can't say whether I know them or not. |
| from dana-elayne : |
| I'm sorry that you're feeling so wretched. I don't even know you, obviously, but I'd still give you a *hug* if I could. |
| from kestra : |
| Ok, I have to admit I'm confused. What HAPPENED that made you so mad at Gina? Did it involve one of her kids getting pregnant or getting somebody pregnant? |

| And you are in Maryland and have cats......Whats your point?? ;) ;) |
| from prissy-pants : |
| I know it seems cheesy but HotorNot.com can be a good source of dates. Its CHEAP, easy and fun. I have met several men from there in the last year and I didn't have to pay $1500 just for a lunch date. Nothing really romantic has happened for me but I have made new friends with some really interesting guys and have been exposed (so to speak) to people I never would have met otherwise. http://www.hotornot.com/r/?eid=G8SEGYO&key=QVJ.....check me out!!! |
| from dunkin86 : |
| Found your diary through some kind of cosmic banner clicking that got me lost and forgetting where I was going to begin with. Needless to say I found myself at your site and most definitely intrigued enough to stop by again. You've officially made it onto my buddy list which gives me the omnious power of stalking you to pieces. |
| from kestra : |
| Oh man, I may be partially responsible for some of the hits because I've just been forwarding the link to everybody! That site is hilarious! Somebody said to me that they were disappointed that this picture had disappeared. cistinelooter.jpg I just thought I'd mention it to you! :) |

| from prissy-pants : |
| I think when these women say that they didn't feel sparks they mean that they either couldn't imagine marrying you or they didn't want to immediately get you naked. Sometimes its a good thing for you that they don't "spark" because #1 a woman who DID want to marry you on the first date would be a little scary and #2 who the hell wants a woman that DOESN'T want to tear your clothes off and get busy immediately after meeting you?? I am not in my 40's (yet) but I am smart enough to know that you don't write someone off after a first date just because you don't feel the mystery "spark". Most of the time major "sparking" comes later, after you have you have gotten to know each other better (if it happens at all) BTW,look me up if you are ever in Tennessee. You may decide that you would rather have a 30 something Southern belle, ;) |

| Hey, I've passworded my diary, which I'm thinking it will just be temporary anyway! :) I can't remember if I sent you the username and password (I've sent it to so many people that I lose track) but if you don't have it and want it... let me know! I'd hate to have somebody on my buddy list, and then not let them have access to my diary... though I'm sure that I'm NOT the Melody you were referring to in your diary entry, but I thought about it all the same! ;) |
| from kestra : |
| I've always called this "doom cleaning," and though I'm not a "guy," I do this as well. Just for yourself, you do whatever works, but when you do it for somebody else, it's about presentation! :) I love it when somebody comes over, so that I can have a reason to doom clean. I like the end result, but not the process. ;) |
| from second-love : |
| God i hope that didnt sound lame, pointless or condescending... :( |
| from second-love : |
| I've noticed that you are writing much more often and I sensed (without really knowing you...) that you may be having a tough time of it. Keep writing!!! It will keep you connected and hopefully focused somehow outside of yourself. Hang in there and know that despite the wackiness of this online community, we are here and behind ya! |

| from serenaville : |
| Clicked in off your clever "Great balls of fur" banner. Your dating anecdotes are very interesting. I also like your pull-no-punches style of expressing your opinions. Mind terribly if I live vicariously through you, despite your being the opposite gender? Hm, that sounded creepy, however unintentionally. You're bookmarked, all the same. :) Take care! |
| from kestra : |
| Well, I guess whether you go or not should be based on why you're going: Are you going to have some (temporary) fun? Or are you trying to find a long-term relationship? If it's the first, I'd say go! But, if you're thinking that you are doing this in the hopes of a long-term relationship, I don't think you or her will be getting what you hope out of it. Then again, PP brought up a good point, you'd might wonder "what if" later on, like what if you could have found a way to work out the location difference. Then again, you'd might be so sure that it wasn't going to work out. I get the impression that you're trying to convince yourself that it won't work out because of her, when you really think it won't work out because of the difference in your location and you don't want to go out there and disappoint yourself if you find you really do like her. (I may be wrong, but that's just my impression, like I said.) |

| I think it's a good idea that if what you're doing is not working, try something else. So I think you're taking a good approach. I had to laugh about what you said about Sarah - think she's just in love with the house and the cats. It sounds like you have a nice house, and who doesn't love cats? But seriously, there's got to be more to a relationship than that. LOL |
| from darcy-farrow : |
| You couldn't be more right. about Bush, about women/relationships. Often the things we are attracted to are the things that eventually repel us. I found it much more rewarding to look for a complementary partner than a "match." |
| from monkey-king : |
| Actually, Jake lights it with a zippo after trying to use the car's lighter, which doesn't work. Sorry. |
| from bluemeany : |
| The cigarette-lighter analogy = perfect! |
| from darcy-farrow : |
| It soudns like it is time to break out the audiobooks. I can highly recommend "Garden of Beasts" by Jeffrey Deaver - or if you like something a bit raunchier - "Bech at Bay" by John Updike - HAVE FUN! |
| from bluemeany : |
| September 19th is National Talk Like A Pirate Day ... you could celebrate that! |
| from bluemeany : |
| Hooray, you got rid of him! I love when dumbasses publicly humiliate themselves. |
| from divacowgirl : |
| I'm a new reader, yeah me. I also like the way you think (but the great minds think alike-second-love). Anyway, if someone can't even bother to meet you, phooey on them. I don't actually use words like phooey. When I was divorced and single I met a lot of great guys through match and such! |
| from bluemeany : |
| So The One has cute baby cows? Oh ... wait. Yep, sorry, farm animals on the brain. I'm trackin' now. I say, move in with her! Or whatever you wanna do. |
| from second-love : |
| I like the way you think :))) |
| from bluemeany : |
| Yay! The One! She doesn't look anything like Keanu Reeves does she? |
| from bluemeany : |
| Nice banner ... nice writing, too, by the way. Unfortunately I can't commiserate with the single-ness, since I'm married, but I can recommend some good hard liquor for your situation. |
| from darcy-farrow : |
| Yes, people still save pennies. In my family we pick up every stray coin we see. You never know when one of them may be worth a fortune! We use our jarred coins to go on vacation or buy something frivolous. Feel free to keep walking by them, more for me!! BTW - lots of "ass" references today! ;) |
| from second-love : |
| Hmmmm... im glad to hear (for some strange unknown reason) that you two are waiting it out to see why might be. I admire you for your willingness to be open to the possibility that she IS in fact a work in progress. It shows great maturity on your part to give her that opportunity to change some things. I will be interested to see how it all turns out :))) |
| from second-love : |
| Man... well it does seem that its for the best, eh? Your writing about her became increasingly evident that it wasnt working - and you have little time invested...move on and try again - don't be jaded about women. We DO have our difficulties and we feel equally frustrated by the men in our lives for much different reasons. Its amazing that the two are ever able to meet in the middle |
| from second-love : |
| yeah... it IS annoying for sure - to say the least. Sam and i go round and round about my wacky behavior. Fortunately for you... you missed all my wackiness (or most of it) for the last year - but im SURE there will be more to come... always is *smile* |
| from second-love : |
| I cant believe i am actually saying this outloud, let alone down on paper... BUT...(man i hate saying this) if Sarah is in her 40's as you mentioned, she very well could be in that wacky hormonal stage (as i am) - PRE-menopausal (choke, gag). I have found that i am a completely different person... worse some weeks than others and quite the clingy "pre-teen" with Sam mainly. I have unexplained anger towards him and unruly neediness that has NEVER existed in my life. Its hard to differentiate what part of this is hormones and what part of this is the wacky situation i am in... nevertheless, much of what you wrote about sounded like me, and i wanted to mention it as a possibility. Of course, it doesnt really matter WHY she does that stuff (only that she does) hahahhahhahaha so maybe this is completely an worthless note *grin* |
| from prissy-pants : |
| I've missed a step. And did you say that you are having dinners with Melody? Do tell Turtle,what has been going on lately? |
| from prissy-pants : |
| Welcome back Turtle Man, you have been missed. Congrats, its about damn time you got a break!!!!! |
| from smokey2582 : |
| i'm just a reader and i'm glad to hear you found "her". i'm still looking for the 'him'. congrats |
| from prissy-pants : |
| Sorry to see that your pages are locked. I hope that things are going well for you and that you have a wonderful new year. |
| from kestra : |
| Well I don't know if the right Melody is reading this, but I think what you wrote is very sweet... |
| from timetosquare : |
| I never left you a note, but I enjoyed reading about your life for a while. Good luck. |
| from timetosquare : |
| I never left you a note, but I enjoyed reading about your life for a while. Good luck. |
| from timetosquare : |
| I never left you a note, but I enjoyed reading about your life for a while. Good luck. |
| from monkey-king : |
| Sorry to see you go. I came late to your site, In a non-dirty way) but enjoyed it. Nope, no matter how I try to phrase it, it still sounds dirty. |
| from erica8378 : |
| Just wanted to say I've been reading you for a while and I'm sorry to see you go. Best of luck to you! |
| from prissy-pants : |
| Keep your chin up Turtle. Love finds you when you are not looking....er, thats what they tell me anyway. Although it seems that I can't seem to get the hang of "not looking" quite yet. Like you, I feel the need to have someone to TOUCH, and I can't make myself patiently wait for it to happen or not. Maybe we should hook up together, now theres a concept!! |
| from rkwj1 : |
| Great song. Later,ROB |
| from newspeak : |
| The person below me is a little hypocritical, eh? It has nothing to do with personal opinion now. The administration voted into office has not and will not represent the people who most need to be represented. And hey, Turtle, I think that's a great idea. I would love to secede. Eh we're all screwed anyway. Thankfully, I at least know you were against him too. I was shocked to see so many of the people I thought were logical vote that ass back into office. |
| from pnkpnthr : |
| I hope you don't consider yourself one of those highly educated individuals considering you just made a totally close minded globalizing statement trying to encompass all Republicans and those who voted for Bush. Why don't you remove your head from you ass and realize that just because someone has a differing opinion from yourself doesn't mean they are wrong. |
| from kestra : |
| My boyfriend said the same thing. Should have just let the South secede during the Civil War. They're obviously a very different people from us, a different culture, different values. |
| from prissy-pants : |
| It is indeed disappointing to see everything snuffed out. Just keep in mind that when the smoke clears, you can start a new fire, hee hee. (I am single,btw,lol) Best of luck to you, Dear. |
| from sarkasmo : |
| Don't forget smokers' coffee breath. *shudders* I don't know which is worse - I never did drink coffee, but I smoked for years. You gotta BE a smoker to deal with another smoker's breath. Now that I quit, it's really difficult. |
| from rkwj1 : |
| I havn't had fellings like that in a long time (luckily). When I read your latest entry it reminded me of how I felt in a similar situation. The relationship sucked but when it was over I longed for it. I would have done anything to get it back even though I knew it would go nowhere. It sucks to feel that way. Good luck. Later,ROB |
| from pinkbowshoe : |
| Hey turtle, I've been reading you for about a week now...good stuff. I know exactly how that feels to be reminded of the one that got away (which seems like thats what "she/her" is to you. I say...wait and see what happens..time tells all just hang in there :) |
| from djmarionette : |
| Many women have traumas. I have had traumas. It is what a woman does about those traumas that separates the strong from the wussys. |
| from dicentra : |
| I wonder why you seem to pick these women. Perhaps there is something happening with you? Perhaps you need someone who needs you in these ways? |
| from sarkasmo : |
| nothing like a good breakup to keep the rest of the internet entertained. love, and the demise thereof, brings out the worst in everyone, doesn't it? -- and i can relate to the iron hook. i used to have a cat that was so freaking edgy like that that my sister and i would narrate the cat's thoughts aloud just by adding "evil evil" and "of death" to whatever she was looking at. for instance: cat's sleeping on the couch next to me. i pick up the remote and change the channel. cat jumps to full alert and glares. my sister and i say, "evil evil remote control of death." this continues until the cat falls asleep again. |
| from for-you-only : |
| Your banner is kinda funny, also a little corny - but hey I clicked on it. On a lighter note, would you be interested in getting a button for your site? It makes it easy for friend's to link you, and looks good in their pages. If so, check out button-maker.diaryland.com. Also, another thing that's pretty cool to check out is pink-circle.diaryland.com - it's a writer's group diary; check it out. -Pink |
| from adelphi : |
| If I hadn't known how old she is, I'd think this were the writing of a 16-year-old who's been brainwashed by her paranoid mother. Is there really so little drama in her life that she has to create it by overreacting to something like this? I say forget her and find someone who isn't psychotic. I don't get how this part of her didn't shine through earlier, or how you dealt with it until now. |
| from prissy-pants : |
| I followed your link about what she wrote and to be honest I would have never thought that those entries (yours and hers) were about the same relationship if you hadn't told me. Wow, what a turn of events.......so, you are single again,hmmmmmm!?! |
| from djmarionette : |
| Sounds like an accident taken out of context. You threw something, it bounced. |
| from kestra : |
| So are you going to tell us how things went down? Like the conversation that lead to the break-up? Curious minds want to know, since there was a lot of input given in the poll. Anyway, I guess it's probably better to find someone who will be happy with you, because it sounds like she was going downhill in that regard. When I think about it, you answered one of your questions in your survey. You said you wanted to break up because the relationship wasn't serious enough, then asked if your next relationship should be a "fuck buddy," which would be the opposite of what you just said you wanted. Go for what you want, and you shouldn't lower your expectations like that. If you were going to lower your expectations, you could have just stayed with Melody... so it really doesn't make any sense if you think about it! |
| from arletterocks : |
| Veal. VEAL. Hahahahahaha. That, uh ... that rules. |
| from kestra : |
| What's weird is that I was going through my buddy list, and yours was gonna be the next one I clicked. But I see an interesting banner (the dog with the fan) and it's yours anyway! :-P Anyway, I'm sorry to hear that things between you and Melody have gone downhill. I know how you can think she wore that outfit just to tease you, and she said she wasn't gonna jump right back into bed, I think, because she was still mad about the whole thing or whatever emotion! I don't think she was obligated to give sex no matter how pretty the outfit, but I know that you were trying to convey that the intent must have been that, because she could have worn something less showy. Or, you could look at it a different way, from her side, she might have just wanted to look pretty for you, and she wasn't ready to go all the way yet. Either way, it looks like things went your way anyway, so not sure where the complaining comes in! :-P LOL |
| from banefulvenus : |
| Love your banner with the dog and the fan.... :) |
| from prissy-pants : |
| I can say amen to Fall fashions finally finding their way to women. Mostly this is due to the fact that I am beginning a new buisness venture involving just that, a fall line of clothing....check it out and see what you think. Melody may look hot in some of the clothes. www.cabionline.com. You can contact me if she would like to have more info. |
| from deadlyhope : |
| Happy Birthday, my horny little friend. xDeadx |
| from erica8378 : |
| Not only is Hurricane Frances more fun to watch than Bushey's convention speach, it'll also probably do a lot less damage. |
| from kestra : |
| Well I guess there are different levels of lying... those that cause no harm, those that cause little harm, those that cause more harm, and those that cause dire harm... So just saying somebody is a liar isn't enough to say how good or bad they are... The point is, what are you lying about and how great are the ramifications of those lies? |
| from pnkpnthr : |
| No offense, but your off your rocker if you think Kerry doesn't lie either. It's called politics. |
| from kestra : |
| I liked the last person's explanation on crying during sex, because it's true, it's a good thing, not a bad thing. You don't always cry when sad, but can also when you're extremely happy. I loved your idea for a postage stamp! I bet they would sell big too with how enthusiastic people are about this election. Of course there would probably also be public riots on the other side. ;-) |
| from prissy-pants : |
| As you well know sometimes life is stressful. Little things that bother you tend to build up and you feel as if you will spontaneously combust. Fortunately for women, sometimes an earth shattering orgasm can release all of the pressure, stress and anguish in one extraordinary flood of emotion that comes out in the form of liquid glee. It feels so absolutely wonderful to let go and release it all, that you have no choice but to cry over the pleasure of it all. Does that help explain anything about women??? |
| from pantypulldwn : |
| lmao! i love the comment. i didn't have much time to read you but i plan to come back and spend sometime. too damn funny!!!! cathc you later,sexy! |
| from softplaces : |
| "It's as if I'm reading some other, older form of English." You know, if/when aliens ever come and take over the planet, they'll probably think the people going "OMG u r so funny LOLOL!" are less evolved versions of the rest of us. Judging by their language, at least. |
| from deadlyhope : |
| I whole heartedly agree - people need to learn how to spell and use punctuation. ^_^ Btw, your journal is VERY interesting to read; thanks for the entertainment. xDeadx |
| from sarkasmo : |
| Just read this: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=568&e=9&u=/nm/telecoms_att_earns_dc and was thinking that hey, maybe you won! |
| from burnman : |
| I would recommend staying away from the AstroGlide and stick to the KY. Superior product all around. Less need for re-lubing, and it seems to have a less "sticky" aftermath. Just a word of advice. ;) |
| from cyanideeyes : |
| I totally agree. I saw the movie a couple days after it was out, and I still want to see it again. |
| from kestra : |
| Oh I get it, so their helicopters would be called the "Whopper Chopper!" For some reason, that's funny in a dorky sort of way... lol |
| from aislinn- : |
| AT&T should be killed. They sent me 3 more monthly bills after I cancelled their service and stopped using their crappy phone, so watch out. |

| Holy crap kid! Loved the new banner with Lawrence Fishburn!!! :) |

| "There are three classes of men; the retrograde, the stationary and the progressive." "The jealous are possessed by a mad devil and a dull spirit at the same time." Johann Kaspar Lavater Don't you think that Penny's new stationary man is perhaps jealous of her friemdship with such a progressive man???? I thought these two quotes summed your entry up nicely. |

| "... if my dog were green" - that's an English Art song. 3 years as a music major, and that's all I remember. ;) |
| from nypizzas2 : |
| Yes. Yes yes yes. I agree with you and Rob. |
| from rkwj1 : |
| I saw the tape myself. Truly disturbing. I almost regret watching it. I became so enraged that despite my wife and three little children I was ready to jump on a plane and kill those fuckers myself. I couldn't imagine the pain his family must have felt at seeing something so barbaric done to their son. The world is really a scary place. later,ROB |
| from sarkasmo : |
| First: The cicadas are in full force in southwest Ohio. I feel your pain. Second: Well, now I want a pet rat. |
| from rockyraven : |
| oh oh and he would drink tea out of a mug using his paw as a spoon. |
| from rockyraven : |
| I'm sorry about your cat. I had to watch them inject the pink liquid into my rat about a month ago because he was drowning in a respiratory infection. You might think that a cat doesn't compare to a rat but I can tell you, having owned a cat as a kid, rats are surprisingly similar. He used to chase after strings and crumpled paper like a kitten, instead of purring he'd chatter his teeth and lick my fingers, and he knew his name and would follow me around and climb up my leg with his little claws just like a kitten so he could sit in my lap. I wish rats lived as long as cats do. |
| from rockyraven : |
| we have cicadas here in MD too |
| from sarkasmo : |
| *sobbing* *hug* (ignore the name, i'm not being sarcastic right now). |
| from wifemotherme : |

| from cyanideeyes : |
| I am so sorry...I am SO crying at work right now. I send you all my well-wishings and sympathies, I understand where you're at right now. I wish you all the best. |
| from prissy-pants : |
| I am so sorry to hear about Boris. I know how hard this is for you. I am thinking of you. ~~"Wish not so much to live long as to live well."~~ Benjamin Franklin :) We all know that Boris lived very well. |
| from srch4balance : |
| Im so sorry to hear of your loss. I know what it's like to lose your best friend. Boris was a good cat who gave you many years of happiness. The best thing you could do for him was to end his pain for him. We're thinking of you. |
| from sasori-gal : |
| I'm sorry to hear about your loss and the decision you had to make. I think those of us who have been in your situation with our own pets know how emotionally painful it is to lose a pet, let alone make that decision to end their suffering. I don't know what I can say to make it easier, but know that our hearts are with you. |
| from nypizzas2 : |
| I know this won't help much from a stranger from the internet, but I am so so sorry for your loss. Your words made me feel your pain, and my thoughts are with you. |
| from rhubelerosko : |
| you sound truly content but not complacent...the best place to be. congrats! |
| from prissy-pants : |
| I like the quote you have for me on your buddylist and would like to use it for a banner. Could you please send me an email and I can let you see it before I post it. Thanks :)[email protected] |
| from arandomname : |
| hey man, if you didn't think through those thoughts of doubt, how would you know for sure? And if they never go away for a long time, perhaps the only recourse would be to talkto her about them. Gasp! |
| from kestra : |
| I used to be a "musical snob" when I was younger, but I think it was an age thing. Now I just pick whichever music suits the mood, anywhere from "heavy metal" to "new age", but I do notice tendencies towards a certain kind of music over other kinds of music. I think the thing that annoys me is either: a) bad lyrics, such as saying nonsense, or b) lyrics that repeat themselves over and over again. But, I think I have trouble with songs without lyrics, though I do listen to them occasionally by themselves because sometimes something can be said in a song without words! It just gives me more of an opening to interpret it my own way, rather than the way it was intended, but oh well, at least I make it personal. ;-) |
| from rkwj1 : |
| Sorry ,I sent that twice by accident. later,ROB |
| from rkwj1 : |
| I feel the same way about the whole music thing. If It's good tunes ,it's good tunes. It can be Rap, speed metal, calssical or what have you. if it sparks any kind of emotion or makes you relate to what the artist is saying then it's good. Even an instumental, if it causes you to thrust your fist in the air and scream "YEAH!!" or just sit and enjoy the melody line.......all good. later,ROB |

| from hooterville : |
| You know... you are probably way more like my father than I'd like to know about. Especially since he's married. *shudders* But I read anyway, because your writing style is more than a little soothing. Whereas your entries are like a smooth, chocolate creme brulee, mine are more of the flaming random-alcohol-in-a-cracked-pilsner-glass variety. Mayhaps you shall enrich me with your hipness. One can hope, anyway. |
| from kestra : |
| I think it's so weird to read a diary with so many entries mentioning the name Melody! My name is Melody too, so I keep thinking it's like talking about me. LOL |
| from cyanideeyes : |
| Oh no no no no NO!!! You have at least one faithful reader, believe me. I find your life to be quite entertaining, not in the sense that it amuses me, but in the sense that "Wow, this guy's really interesting." There are a lot of diaries I've come across that just couldn't keep me interested, either because they're just flat-out boring or there's no part of them in the words, know what I mean? You, on the other hand, come through in your words, and your entries are never a dull read. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| gee ive been reading your diary on a regular basis.... |
| from wifemotherme : |
| I just love it when I leave a note, go back to leave another note and realize I left a whole word or even a few words out of the first note. Sorry about that. Anyway I read your diary cover to cover. Thanks for the insight into the mind of a single man....strange creatures that you are. Good Luck with Melody! I am going to keep reading you, if only to find out if Penny pops back up or not. |
| from wifemotherme : |
| If your keeping up with your stats I thought I would you a note to let you know it was me digging around for so long today. Hope your not disappointed that its not a stalker. |

| from sybil117 : |
| Congrats on the new status of your developing relationship with Melody... but if she wishes your sexual adventures to remain anonymous perhaps you should edit your last entry and maybe replace her real(?) name with "Melody" |
| from kimisamazing : |
| congratulations for finding someone to care about. May you be happy for a long time and comfortable forever. |
| from nypizzas2 : |
| As everyone else has said, congratulations on finally getting someone worthy of you. :) |
| from sasori-gal : |
| Not a wuss at all. On the contrary, I think this relationship is off to a great start. Best wishes to you both and hold on to that happiness! Cheers! |

| from prissy-pants : |
| Hi, you sound like the man for me. I hope you don't mind if I add you as a favorite read. |
| from pink-blondie : |
| I like your diary. Just wanted to say that. |
| from sofox : |
| Loving the banner. My computer says: "I watched," he replied, and kissed me softly. "And might i say, a stellar performance on both your parts. I'm pretty damn surprised you didn't hear me come. It was a little better. Maybe something a little better. Maybe something a little better. Maybe something a little bastard?" |
| from sybil117 : |
| I am truely sorry that Melody cut you like she did. It was so evident in your entry. I think its a shame that people oh so often are turned off by what is considered by the media-slammed majority not beautiful. Sure cut and chisled are nice to look at (think Ed Norton in American History X), But I prefer something more... thick (think Mickey Rouke in AngelHeart or Ralph Finnes in Schindlers List). A Man's body. I love to *feel* my BF's body under my hands. It's shame what is pleasing to the touch isnt always considered pleasing to the eye. But we all have our preferences. Even you.. heh heh.. you and your calf fetish! Don't sweat that she thinks that you look fat in those jeans.. just keep trying til you find one that likes how that ass feels in those jeans!!!! |
| from mittag : |
| Your diary, and so I assume you, is clever and often times hilarious. Thanks for putting up the banner so that I had a chance to read it. Well done. |
| from invisibledon : |
| thanks |
| from chaosdaily : |
| you shouldnt need to remodel or be remodeled. the name of the game is acceptance...... and you dont sound that much overweight. |
| from juniperhexum : |
| and the internet dating thing... I can't complain about it because that's how I do it. I find that it weeds out the idiots a little sooner. |
| from juniperhexum : |
| I hate sounding like one of those tools who says "hi clicked ur banner! ur awesome!" but I probably will anyway. I had to click your banner and when I saw you lived near DC and seeing someone else mention Herndon made me all gushy. I grew up in Reston and currently live in SIlver Spring MD, so "Hi neighbor." Oh dear. I just became a tool. |
| from kestra : |
| I hope things with you and Melody work out. I can certainly understand why she would be worried, but if things between you and her did work out, at least you'll know that you're not just like anybody else she's ever met before. I can't tell how old you are from your diary entries, but I did get kind of curious when you mentioned age a few times in your entries in reference to other women you see. |
| from dani-lou : |
| Melody sounds very similar to my personality and me. It sounds like she needs to feel comfortable with you before any playful intimacy can happen. I dated a guy that felt just like you do towards Melody, towards me. Establishing a baseline friendship is a very important first step. And recognize that she is physically attracted to you even though she somewhat rejected you. |
| from ker : |
| I have a friend who acts like Melody. Mostly because she was raped her first time, and every time after, she's had sex with guys who don't call back. Maybe that's why she's skittish. |
| from redinthehead : |
| you're thing is a good read. thanks for being interesting. and in my opinion you should kiss melody or however you spell her name on the hand next time you see her. some girls like that. |
| from dani-lou : |
| Scared little girls? No way, not all women are that way. Come on, you had a good running there for awhile. Don't give up, you'll find a great one. Toodles, Dani. |
| from vbitch : |
| You seem to be a man after my own heart...always sleeping around, but never finding The One...tehehe, but what fun we have while doing it!!! Love your diary, you've now got onto the award winning buddy list of me...YAY!!! Cheers. |
| from cyanideeyes : |
| Dude, rock it. If this works out for even a week, I can then validate meeting people throught the internet, because I'll tell you what: it never worked for me. Of course, all the chicks my age are still waaaaay to friggin' immature. But I digress... Rock her socks off. I wish you the best in this new venture. |

| I'd like to say that your banner ruined The Matrix for me, but the truth is, it made it all the more lovely. |
| from dani-lou : |
| There are normal chicks! I promise. (I'm not one of them.) I get a kick out of your stories. Sorry things didn't work out with Penny. Although, I have to mention, most people tell me that my quest for knowledge and asking questions is amazing and they just don't understand it. Regardless, at least you got to put some good miles on your car.... Toodles, Dani. |
| from chuffnutt : |
| I love your banner! Hysterical! I've also answered one of your surveys. The first one listed in your drop-down bar. Yeah, that one. |
| from bethany9 : |
| we are in the same boat. i have a guy friend who for all intents and purposes should be more... but he just isn't. as much as he is perfect for me... it is not there. until i meet someone that can light my pants on fire... i am out! |
| from madam-rose : |
| lmao the icewater thing was funny! i dont know why u r lookin forward to sleep more...*shrugs* |
| from teluble : |
| are we going to learn what happened with Penny? by the way, where is Mary now? she seemed more on level with you. |
| from b0b0 : |
| loved your potato head banner! great surveys too! |
| from cyanideeyes : |
| In response to today's entry - Hell, I want some pork fried rice. Second, I know what's ailing you in the "new" department. You're bored. Well, at least that's how it was with me for a while. Same stuff, just a different order. It got old after a while. Hell, I'm still there. If it makes you feel any better, you're not alone buddy. |
| from rockyraven : |
| hahaha...blue crotch |
| from macrocarpa : |
| I think I learned the words to the Comet song differently. It was "Comet! It makes your mouth so clean! Comet! It tastes like gasoline! Comet! It makes you vomit! So buy some Comet! And vomit! Today!!!!" Yes, because I am just that much of a dork. |
| from signomifly : |
| Yo...your banner is funny as hell! Good one! |
| from diaryquotes : |
| Hi!! I loved your potatohead/matrix banner, I'd love to review it for my website when I get it back up and running. Let me know if you mind. :D |
| from chaosdaily : |
| nine cats???!?!?!??!?!?!?! |
| from knock-first : |
| I was happy to find you today. You are honest without trying to be cute. Your x-wife sounds like a nut. Seems like they are everywhere lately. |
| from roadside123 : |
| Thank you for the article on 'Squirting'. It was very imformative and appreciated. |
| from rainbow-revu : |

| um...if your car has "spinners"... |
| from pandionna : |
| Oh my, I'm so embarrassed. I just made up about six banner ads with abused lyrics, and then I see your moose banner. You leave me in the dust. But hey, you know what they say about great minds. |
| from open-book : |
| you shouldn't feel too horrible about your layout, as the moody blues banner is hilaaarious and more than makes up for it. :) |
| from chaosdaily : |
| sorry to hear about your ankle, keep it up and iced. sometimes fractures occur along with the dislocation, so if its not better in a week.. you might want to see someone... good luck |
| from missleigh : |
| I agree with you on the shoes. I've been over the whole 1 inch thick tread shoe fad for about ten years now. Although I must say, I don't like how the super pointed toe is gaining popularity either. Frankenstein, or a keebler elf?? I don't know which to choose. |
| from maryeliz : |
| love the reads. took your survey. i agree that some people think their better than evetybody. although, im one of those people, i only think im better than the people im really better than. ;) make sense? i got some fuck-ups in my town. forgive me. like your diary. |
| from srch4balance : |
| thank you turtle :) that was sweet of you. |
| from srch4balance : |
| I'D LOVE TO KNOW HOW TO SQUIRT! But that page won't open here at work! Fucking firewalls. |
| from pinky77 : |
| the female thing me and hubby find easy way w no hard work....... 3 finger from behind palm up pressing up to make good contact pretty much steady beat and boom 5 mins ... its all a river lol hope it works for you ...works well for us |
| from captvfirefly : |
| I found you via your banner, and I must say I can really relate to your diary. My degree of slutdom isn't as high as yours, but my numbers have doubled since my recent divorce, and I have adopted the word "eTramp" to describe my current online personal ad adventures. Just wanted to let you know you've got a new fan. |
| from sasori-gal : |
| I'm so glad I clicked on your banner. I'm addicted. You have such a great diary with so much insight for us all! I love a man who's not afraid to live! |
| from srch4balance : |
| I'm thoroughly enjoying your diary! I found you via banner, and my, my, where have you been? You're like a breath of fresh air here at D-Land :) I would love to offer you my services for a custom template, though...if you so desire. I loathe d-land templates. I'd keep it masculine, not to worry. Something to keep me busy during my boring workdays in Corporate America. My diary is locked, but you're more than welcome to it. Just send me an email requesting the password. Just wanted to let you know you have a new reader. |
| from kitlove : |
| I was depressed in reading your journal because I realized that you have a better love life than I do...interesting never-the-less :) |
| from myhorizons : |
| I enjoyed reading your diary this morning :) |
| from dust-settle : |
