from jimbostaxi :
Hey, how have you been?? Me,, break hearts? Never lol. I don't think the buttons work,, I know a few here save on Live Journal.. Kind of sucks that those features don't work,, wish I could be more help. Xoxo
from jimbostaxi :
That song was fun! And it hits the mark with my situation. I don't want to be the fallback plan for anybody but that's how it felt. I'm sure Maria will pop up soon enough since we work together. The thing is that I never had to Say “Hey, thanks but no thanks.” I'm sure she is fine right now and not even caring about me. I'm overthinking this whole thing but with time that will pass. Thanks for the great note! :)
from jimbostaxi :
All those things you spoke about in the note are the same things my friends at the job have been telling me. All of you have shared your insight with me and it's up to me to follow through and apply it. The stress that comes across in my entries about Maria are more about me than her. Maria and her sexy self arrived when my self-worth was pretty low. She is very direct and honest ( as far as I know) and seems to know exactly what she wants. I'm learning as we go about me and her and our situation. I have times when I like our situation and times when I despise it. Who knew I'd be traveling this road at this age? Sure as hell not me! Thanks for the great note! :)
from jimbostaxi :
Yeah, I think it's pretty cute too! Pen pals with Grandpa's girlfriend lol. Let's hope I'm not making a mistake by dragging others into my circle. But isn't that what I should do? We do call each other best friends :)
from browndamask :
Not sure where the disconnect occurred. I do not have an MFA, although I did have a brief convo with Jimbo about possibly going back to school. I got my BFA in Experimental Studies in Art, which is just another way of saying I didn’t have a specific or traditional discipline that I was studying. Most of my work was installation and/or sculpture, but I also spent quite a bit of time drawing (an underrated discipline in my opinion). I can’t speak to whether or not the MFA would be worth it, but as someone who has a fine arts degree with a minor in English, neither of them promising profitable employment, I would say that the *experience* was 100% worth it. I might feel differently if I were paying student loans, but 25 years ago I was able to make it through on scholarships and by working part-time jobs. I agree with you that one of the benefits of a structured program is the dedicated time set aside for work, plus I’ve always found those environments to spur creativity. If you have the means to pursue an MFA, if only for yourself, then go for it. As I get older I realize, more and more, that personal enrichment is a worthwhile pursuit. If it leads to a positive career change, all the better.
from jimbostaxi :
It was an unexpected but exciting turn of events getting to know Maria. Yeah, we kind of clicked and we have a chemistry that works. She will be working here at my job in a different area on New Year's Eve so I hope to steal a moment with her when the clock strikes 12. So what you are saying is no chicken nuggets under any circumstances right? Lol just kidding! Yeah, have no fear! I always offer her peanut butter cups! She seems to love those but who doesn't? Thank you so much for the note and Happy Early New Year!
from raven72d :
Best wishes for the holiday season-- and for the new year!
from jimbostaxi :
Yeah, most definitely hit me up I'm in Central Islip on the border of Hauppauge so I'm closer to Shoreham. It sounds like you know the island pretty well so I'm sure it will be easy to say hi while you're in the neighborhood. :)
from jimbostaxi :
Hey, thanks for the note! Yeah, I'm very fortunate to have met this great bunch of people on my shift. My respect for them even goes to the point where I won't write about them here. There was a big cancer March at Jones Beach not too long ago and a few from my job attended. I haven't been to Jones Beach myself in sooooooo long! I'm talking about maybe 40 years or longer! Next time you are around these parts let me know! Have a great day!
from jimbostaxi :
My brevity only comes after 10k-word original drafts! Then I start throwing away words until Viola! I'm at the point. Lol. Thanks for the note :)
from msafire :
luv your brevity. Jealous
from jimbostaxi :
Sometimes here is the only place I can find any sort of friendship. That's not to say I don't open up at my new job and try to make friends it's that it's a long process for me. Baby steps,,, their accepting me in the group is a step in the right direction. As far as my oldest daughter is concerned I've let go of a lot of the issues I had. I was pretty messed up years ago but now I've grown to accept whatever she's willing to give. Thanks so much for the note and kind words. :)
from jimbostaxi :
I found you on Twitter just don't know how to send stuff yet lol
from jimbostaxi :
A new hat would be great :) want some scenic shots? Tell me where to send them :)
from jimbostaxi :
Thank you so much! Your note was very thoughtful! They say I need to answer three important questions 1)Who do I want to be? Define the kind of person I want to be and how it relates to my chosen vision 2)Where do I want to be in life? 3)what experiences do I want to have? Take care xoxo
from jimbostaxi :
All this is new to me so I'm taking it all in. Do you want to know something funny? I keep saying to myself why are they nice? Lol, I'm so used to not trusting people Lol. Thanks for the note xoxo
from jimbostaxi :
I wouldn't at all mind carrying a poetry book around its just that part of me is very emotional. So I would be afraid of getting pulled in by someone's verses and having to work with tears in my eyes. I'm about a third of the way through the book so its prop days are over lol. Thanks for the note! :)
from jimbostaxi :
Thanks, it's pretty cool at my new gig, and everyone is very nice. I had to pick a book that made me look approachable not too far left not too far right but right in the middle. It's not really a book that's in my possession it's more like an accessory hahaha it has to go with my outfit and shoes Lol. Thanks for the note!
from jimbostaxi :
Thanks, That was a very touching message as always! That American OysterCatcher I think comes by here every morning! At least I think it's the same one with all the noise he makes. Fran's sister messaged me on the 11th and I was very emotional about it. I was using Google to translate so I’m only 80 percent sure I got everything she said. She wanted to talk about all the things I never really dealt with like Fran’s death and sickness. I can’t talk about those things! Not with her or anyone. It’s too painful and I still blame myself for her passing. Take care xoxo
from jimbostaxi :
Thank you very much for the wonderful note. I delete stuff from time to time when I fall into a mood or rut. With Fran being gone 1 year as of next week I felt the need to write about that. As I'm getting older and probably with Fran a lot in my mind I want to start volunteering at my local hospital. I filled out an application and started to go through the screening process. Sure, I may have helped Ronnie with a few words but I still feel empty inside. If I get to volunteer maybe that will help that feeling go away. Take care xo
from jimbostaxi :
Thanks! Yeah, it was an expensive lesson lol
from jimbostaxi :
I dabble in stocks too! Nothing major but one or two things are starting to take off now. I think I've been slowly purchasing stuff over the last two years. Good luck! Happy investing! ;)
from jimbostaxi :
The mere mentioning of Dilbert would date anyone Lol I don’t even want to get started on the bad experiences in healthcare Fran went through. It makes me sad just thinking about all the hoops we went through and it still wasn’t enough. The words we use date us and it is constantly changing. I could list a bunch of stuff I still say that would make the younger generation say wtf are you talking about? Lol
from jimbostaxi :
Lol, I find I write more when it's in the moment. A sort of stream of consciousness and if I'm doing that sex and boobies are a lot on my mind. If I had a kingdom I would send my knight's from door to door but they wouldn't carry a glass slipper. Instead, it would be a cami top looking for Jello! Hahaha! Thanks for the help and suggestions. I love the part “If you can't say something nice, say something clever and devastating.” I actually saw the owners yesterday and it felt a bit weird. Thanks for the note! Xo
from jimbostaxi :
Thanks! I had almost given up a few times but my kids encouraged me to complete the “Reinvention of Jimbo.” I will pat myself on the back and brag about it when I make it full-time. I most definitely will have to update when I'm away because I'm sure there be some adventure or mishap. Lol. Thanks for the note :)
from jimbostaxi :
That sucks that your friend got defensive about his drinking and made you sad. Yeah, I could see how the long-distance romance thing keeps you from butting heads on his issues. Maybe, he will keep it in check the next time you visit and you guys will have a good time. xo
from jimbostaxi :
Your note was very well-worded and on point. There was something I didn't mention in my entry about Jessica. She is from the same country as Fran and in all my years I've not stumbled across anyone else from there. So I was hoping it was fate that brought us together. I know it sounds dumb but I was hoping maybe there would be something even if the embers were minuscule.
from jimbostaxi :
Hey, Jimbo is all about the bottom line. Identify the problem or driving force and blurt it out Lol. Thanks for the note!
from jimbostaxi :
2/24/23 my grandson arrived today! 10lbs 3 ounces!
from jimbostaxi :
I haven't had my inhaler for years. Is very dumb when I think about how many times something triggered my asthma and I struggled to breathe. There are many triggers that I try to stay away from such as strong perfumes, fresh paint, certain cleaning fluids, and detergents. Ugh, that itchy throat thing where it feels like it's closing up I know it too well!
from jimbostaxi :
Hey! Thanks for the note! Yeah, she seems to be at the stage where I was a few months back. I don't know how to navigate this other than to reach out occasionally to see if she's ok. It's hard because the last thing anyone wants is someone to crowd them while they mourn the loss of their spouse. Xo.
from jimbostaxi :
Merry Christmas! I hope you and the kids have a happy holiday!
from jimbostaxi :
I laughed at the part about how the two oldest viewed you. Why? Because my two oldest held some views of me that I only learned about not too long ago. I'm like wtf? You guys thought that? I had no idea lol
from englishsucks :
Thank you! <3
from jimbostaxi :
Thanks so much for your note and encouraging words. I started that entry trying to be happy but I suck at faking it. So I just kind of went with my sarcastic kind of humor and that's how it turned out. I do hate being a Debbie downer but if that's what's inside me then I have to try to process it somehow. Sometimes even though I know no one truly has the answer it just helps to say it aloud. Thanks again xo
from jimbostaxi :
I thought it was cool of you to share that moment of your kid being on TV. It was like we were standing in the crowded audience and your kid came on stage and you elbowed me. Lol Then I imagined you saying “that’s my kid there!” Me being a parent I felt proud and it wasn’t even my kid! Lol I felt very honored that you shared a part of your world with me. Thank you! Also I like the new edition to your profile! :)
from swordfern :
Wow, your note to me made my day! Thank you! Jimbo is the best. I'm glad that we have him in common. I'll take a read through your stuff. I recognize your diary name but for some reason have never read you.
from jimbostaxi :
I have seen you on here posting like a million times so I figured you would see my note eventually:) as you were talking about Korean food I began to think I haven't seen one around here. I need to google the neatest one to check it out as I need to broaden my horizons :) I'm sure you will find work soon keep up the search :)
from jimbostaxi :
Yeah, she's home, and hopefully, this experience will have a lasting impression on her. She met all the family and made them promise they would all come here to visit as well. Darlene told me that between the weather and some other factors that if I went that I probably never leave the hotel Lol. She had a good time and it was well worth every penny. Thank you for the note! :)
from jimbostaxi :
I forgot to mention it a few days back but I’m pretty sure your kid's play was on tv again. I stopped for a few seconds to watch and I’m almost sure it was it. :)
from jimbostaxi :
I forgot to mention it a few days back but I’m pretty sure your kid's play was on tv again. I stopped for a few seconds to watch and I’m almost sure it was it. :)

from jimbostaxi :
I don’t smoke so I can pick up on when there is even a tiny amount. Weed is even easier to detect when someone’s trying to cover it up. These guys are blowing so much smoke it's probably noticeable for 1/4 block in any direction. Lol, A lot of people hate Seinfeld but I’m a fan and I’ve seen them all. Lol
from jimbostaxi :
Congrats on the new tenant! 🥳🎉
from jimbostaxi :
As long as you don't say “Vandelay industries” is where you sought employment you should be good. ( Seinfield reference.)
from jimbostaxi :
Take a covid test. My daughter Darlene and others here have Covid again. It's the sore throat and fatigue, that's a dead giveaway for me that I had covid again.
from jimbostaxi :
Lol, thank you for making me feel more at ease. Wine is a new adventure and there will be many errors along the way. :)
from jimbostaxi :
Hey, when times are tough just say “I will get you next time.” we are understanding that not everyone has it.
from jimbostaxi :
I was feeling very down and then I saw your note and Stinger's note. Thank you very much for commenting they do bring my spirits up. I laughed to myself when I thought about all the new stories I might have soon driving Lena. A whole new chapter of my life with new characters and all! It's hard to believe how life keeps changing. I enjoy your comments on any topic I only wished I commented on yours more! :) Addiction is a very serious subject and I tread every so lightly when I bring it up here. Thank you for the PSA and for taking the time to write to me. Tears and a smile are what I have right now. Because it's good to know there are people out there who care. :)
from jimbostaxi :
Trust me when I say those small acts of kindness mean everything. Just had that happen to me today a lady took time out of her day to listen and help. It wasn't just lip service because she had the chance to leave but stayed anyway. We need more caring people like that and the world would be a better place.
from gr8legs :
thank you for reading and for your kind words. #8.20.22
from musikoid :
Ah Chianti -- I remember from when I lived in Italy for three years when I was in high school. It was all over the place. I think I've had it at an Italian place in San Francisco, I'm not sure. You have to email me for the password at pops at angelic dot com.
from jimbostaxi :
I'm still in shock from her telling me hours ago. I was feeling sad cause I have a fairly large family but no one has kept in touch over the years. So many people, not just me have been written off by their families. Yeah, it makes me very sad thinking of all those people who feel alone. Today, I found out a regular customer died she was only 49. No cause of death given it's still under investigation. No one knows what happened and it shouldn't be that way. No one said life fair right? So much sadness in the world,,,, at least we will have another bundle of joy to help me forget about it for a few seconds. Thanks very much for your notes! :)
from jimbostaxi :
:) yeah, life is too short not to give your family another chance. Nobody's perfect and we all make mistakes. It took me losing Fran to open my eyes to a lot of things. I never want to pretend in my real life or on here about how I am. My slogan for this part of my life is” just trying to keep it real.” Phony people need not apply! Lol. Ty, for the great note. Xo
from jimbostaxi :
Hi, yeah, I have loads of experience dealing with cash under stressful conditions. It's a necessity to keep your money balanced so you know what's profit and what's not. The casino environment for me was like a video arcade. All that electronic noise chirping and whirling only difference the air was a bit stagnant. From what I remember arcades were very comfortable I didn’t feel that way as I walked through the slots. It was a nice diversion from my boring everyday life. I’m happy I pushed myself to do something new. Thanks very much for the note! :) I’m glad one of the kids picked a winner at the track! That makes it much more exciting! :)
from catsoul :
6.26.2022. Good Morning. I want to thank you for your note. I always wonder who actually reads anything I write. I have been writing more offline lately, in my notebook. I have been writing poems again. Jimbo loves poems, and I have noticed in his writing that he is sharing more of his creative and endearing poetry. The pine needles are falling from the trees here like golden strands of sunshine. It is sooooo beautiful watching them fall, as I am raking them up. Peace within yourself. =^..^=
from englishsucks :
Thank you for your note! Thank you for taking time to read some of my entries. Dom isn't married or dating anyone but hes just an odd guy lol I cant figure him out anymore. Thank you for the tips on podcast!
from jimbostaxi :
There is definitely going be some healing done right now,,, I fell on the pavement walking her in front of my house when she pulled the leash! Lol
from jimbostaxi :
Lol, I just saw your answer now from the other day :) I love that Diaryland is like our own little hangout. It's not too big and it's not too little it's just right! Lol. As far as the photo albums I'm a hopeless romantic and if you love someone to me stuff like that is not a chore it's a pleasure.❤️❤️
from msafire :
Thanks Jimbo!! I am going to respond to the question here for all Two of readers ( HA HA... maybe a few more.. but not many which is why I kinda love this forum!) ... YES to an extent. I also happened to have had lighter load of work in cue for job so more time on hands and when I write if have the time I just keep going! HA Not really for any other reason than enjoy writing. I tend to write about things that are upsetting me and personal to me but try to conciously NOT talk about personal lives of my kids/friends family too much. (Try to limit - write only in realation to my realtionships with them if that makes sense- as to something I just HAVE To work through) That limits what I can write about here. But yes there is the pattern! If I am exercising and in that good routine I definately write less typically as then work out stuff on the run or swim of bike ride! The typing /long hand has a kinetic element I think similar to exercise in a way. Repetition and calming rhythm!
from jimbostaxi :
Ahh, so when I see many posts one after another you are stressed. Then when you are gone for long periods that means life is calm and good right?
from jimbostaxi :
Ty, I appreciate your dropping In and the kind words. I felt I had to write something about her passing after chronicling our struggles. ❤️❤️
from jimbostaxi :
Wow, that's awesome! You must be a very proud mom. Thanks for the update. :)
from jimbostaxi :
They are soooo phony there are some ulterior motives why they want to come out here but it's a long story. With Soccara’s health being poor and them with an agenda, it's easier to avoid problems and say no to their visit. Granted I'm the antisocial one out of the two of us but she knows I'm the guard dog and I respect whatever decision she makes. It's good to hear from you and hope all is well with the family.
from raven72d :
Good to see you writing here in the new year.
from raven72d :
I do enjoy longhand-- I love the idea of actually putting pen to paper.
from jimbostaxi :
Thank you very much for the notes. I'm trying my best to do the right during these stressful times. The thing you said about the kids and feeling powerless is very true. My hands were shaking typing out that entry and the one I deleted. Xo
from raven72d :
Thanks for the kind words and the ocular advice! It's very much appreciated. And I hope your December is going well.
from jimbostaxi :
I'm grateful to have found this place and all you guys so many years ago. I never I'm my dreams what have thought I would be talking about sensitive matters. With all the bad things happening in the the world it's great to find refuge in a place where people still love and care. Thanks for the note xoxo
from jimbostaxi :
Thanks! :) every once in a while I get brave enough to post one. Glad you had a good Thanksgiving any plans with the kids for Christmas?
from jimbostaxi :
Call me old-fashioned but I believe in soulmates. Good luck!
from jimbostaxi :
Yeah, They say “the pen is mightier than the sword” but the donut tops them both! Thanks for reading and the notes. :)
from jimbostaxi :
Thanks! We appreciate that very much! :)
from jimbostaxi :
“but at some point, a person either has to accept who they are fully themself and do their best with the person they are.” what you said is very relevant to my life as well. :)
from jimbostaxi :
You are very sweet and thank you for the kind words! There are many great writers here who can paint lovely pictures with their words. I'm so in awe of their talent and wish that I had been exposed to that in the past. My best entries come when I speak from the heart and I'm glad you and others enjoy them. Maybe one day far in the future I might be secure enough to collect and publish them but for now, all I can do is give people a window view Into my soul.
from papotheclown :
What a small world. America thanks you for allowing that fundy editor into the country. Imagine how lost we would be without him.
from raven72d :
I did like 'Henry & June'!
from raven72d :
Thanks for the kind words! I like using DVDs, since many older or more obscure films are still available via DVD on Netflix, but not as streaming. I still buy DVDs once in a while-- for box sets and obscure films, but also because I like having a film I can re-watch at will and feel like it's "mine". Anyway...glad to have you reading along.
from jimbostaxi :
Very interesting your last 2 posts :)
from jimbostaxi :
I'm so very happy you liked them! :) for many years I struggled to find my niche on Diaryland. Now what I do is take a snapshot of my life and write from my heart. If I word it right the reader feels just how I felt. I think I'm having success with that and finally belong here.
from raven72d :
I will look for that. There's a film from c. 1991 called "La Belle Noiseuse" ("The Beautiful Troublemaker") with a very young Emmanuelle Beart that Levin had me watch with her that seriously looks at the artist/model dynamic and is also really good on the sheer technical side of creating a painting.
from jimbostaxi :
I'm, sure there’s someone handy on here but for me, it's about space and time. 1) shut the water. 2) cut the hoses 3) at this point it's easier to work on loosening the nuts. Worst comes to worst pull the whole sink out and work on it like that.
from jimbostaxi :
I wish that I could just not work and enjoy all 4 of them. Have a safe and Merry Christmas! :)
from jimbostaxi :
Hi, it has been a long and ever-changing journey for me on Diaryland. Over the years this place and many of you have helped me survive some truly dark periods in my life. In the beginning, I came here many nights on no sleep full of rage and hate and posted many entries that now feel like they were from someone else. I still have those feelings but the part of me that’s broken tends to take over now and that’s how most of my entries tend to play out. I used to worry about posting my feelings but now the hurt overrides the fear. Thank you for reading and your thoughtful notes. :)
from jimbostaxi :
Hey, it's good to hear from you, and thanks for the note. Hope all is well with the family.
from whystinger :
The French word for a meat and cheese plate is charcuterie. Cool diary!
from jimbostaxi :
I’m very happy you liked it. Sometimes, I get in a playful mood and churn out something decent :) thanks as always for your encouragement.
from jimbostaxi :
I wished that I could write about my hopes and dreams but that type of writing has always eluded me. Without a creative bone in my body, all that I have left are my emotions. I would like to think I do an accurate job of baring my soul. Lol Love the notes as always!
from jimbostaxi :
Blackberry wine-flavored cheese? Wow, that sounds yummy. Happy belated 4th and thank you again for your notes :)
from jimbostaxi :
Yeah, the girls are doing great and have been very helpful in these trying times. Thank you for the notes and I'm doing my best to be supportive of everyone.
from jimbostaxi :
The outpouring of love and support has been overwhelming. I had just planned to write my entries filled with sorrow and fade away without no one noticing. All of you have been so great! Thanks!
from jimbostaxi :
Hey, thanks for the great note and reading over the years. In all honesty, I'm amazed anyone has stuck around all this time to decipher my rants.🤣🤣🤣
from jimbostaxi :
I hardly ever speak on my cell anymore. If someone calls they better be on fire or dying because otherwise just send a text. An an older co-worker of mine used to call about the most insignificant of things and didn't get why it was annoying. I finally had to tell him, please text me only! As far as voicemails go I never listen to them. I will just look at the phone number and call it back when I'm ready.
from jimbostaxi :
Hi, thanks for the note. I know the virus is still out there but I'm glad Soccara and I have made it to the other side so to speak. Take care and stay safe.
from jimbostaxi :
My turn to share :) here's a link to a pic of my two daughters https://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt144/jimbostaxi/Mobile%20Uploads/E5A974A1-02E9-4CA5-A00C-BFFEFC7DCDC9_zpsdgio21hm.jpeg When you want to upload pics here play with the height and width dimensions until you like it.
from jimbostaxi :
Handsome young fellow ! It was a brief moment but I saw him.
from jimbostaxi :
I did it i found him awwwwww! :)
from jimbostaxi :
Ahhhhhh gotcha that helps :) I still have it playing
from jimbostaxi :
The sign says ”now more than ever we must have love.” I'm watching it now :)
from jimbostaxi :
Thanks for the note and I'm looking up the show now and will look carefully at the point you said :)
from jimbostaxi :
Thanks for the note! I look forward to seeing a picture of Bellatrix when you find a way to do it. I host my pics on Wordpress and just copy and paste the code here. ”The Ethical Slut” sounds interesting I might give that a look. If you're looking for a safe spot to write you could always lock your diary and give passwords to whomever. Take care :)
from whystinger :
Very interesting entry.
from jimbostaxi :
Saw you online dropped in to say hi! :)
from jimbostaxi :
Yeah, my first response is to respond with anger it took all my might to walk away. Thank you for the note :)
from jimbostaxi :
I'm glad I don't get life-changing offers too often because it's exhausting. Lol Thank you for the great note :)
from jimbostaxi :
Awww proud moment time! Thats awesome :)
from jimbostaxi :
To answer the 2nd part first yep! It’s local to my job just need to force myself to have some fun and go. I think the “Paige” entry was kind of beautiful I’d like to leave it just like that for now :)
from jimbostaxi :
First welcome to our side of the mayo battle!!! :) and I just did a search on “the Cove” I will give it a look but sounds very sad. Oh and before I forget what salad dressing did you use instead of mayo?
from jimbostaxi :
Bellatrix well there’s no one I can forget that :) I’ll check out the pics when you upload them
from jimbostaxi :
Lol, ty for remembering that I posted Bella’s pic :) but the million dollar question is what’s the pups name? Or you still deciding ?
from jimbostaxi :
I felt like could visualize everything you wrote about in your latest entry, I know we each write for ourselves but you do have a gift with words. Does the pup have a name yet? I wanted to thank you very much for dropping by and leaving the note :) I have a dog her names Bella she’s a pit bull she’s a nut lol. I need to get out and have more dealings with people, sometimes the sadness hits me at night and I try to come here and try to put that into words ... sometimes I succeed in getting it on to the page most times I fail
from whystinger :
Interesting diary, I found you through Jimbo's. I hope I remember to come back and read more.
from jimbostaxi :
Hey thanks for the notes :) i wrote that entry about “F” when I was feelling very alone, I felt it best just to come here and try to put my feelings into words. Now that I put up one about feelings it’s ok to go back to my normal ramblings of a madman :)
from dangerspouse :
Haha! If I can save even one person from poetry, my life's work has not been in vain. Glad you enjoyed my silly ramblings, and managed to hang in there despite the salacious opening (vaginas are by definition salacious openings, right?). Thanks for the rockin' ego-strokin' note! But...where did you hear I have small feet?
from jimbostaxi :
I have been on diaryland awhile now and I can honestly say I doubt I have written anything as deep or insightful as your note. I recently asked myself why do I keep posting on diaryland ? It’s because of notes from people like yourself where we connect on some kind of level and someone gets us or appreciates us and everything’s just a wee bit brighter! Thank you for making me remember what it’s all about and I hope one day I can do for someone what you did for me. :0)
from jimbostaxi :
That note was sooo beautiful I have tears in my eyes! I’m at work and can’t leave a better response yet, I just wanted to let you know I saw it :0)
from dangerspouse :
Who cares about the dancing and the concert and the co-worker....POST A PIC OF THE NEW PUPPY, DAMMIT! Stop toying with us!! And I hope you have a happy New Year - alone, if that's your thing :)
from jimbostaxi :

Thank you for stopping by and reading. You compliments and insights were much needed today. I'm looking forward to reading stuff from you.

Ty very much for the kind words :o) i guess I’m going have to take more of a proactive role in my health I’m not a spring chicken anymore. My oldest daughter and I are still working on things we hadn’t seen each other for many years so I worry I don’t want to ruin it again.
from dangerspouse :
My wife had the most amazing time at the rally. She carried a sign, and put on it the names of several friends who couldn't attend. As she said, "Even if they were only there in spirit, they were still there." So thank YOU for being there, even if it was just in spirit. Let's hope it does some good now....
from dangerspouse :
Wow, congrats on the marathon!! You're a better man than I. I can't wait to read what happened after Mile-14. Hey listen, if you need a Kegal coach.... Lol. Thanks for the note at my place, kiddo. I'm glad I make you laugh :)
from jimbostaxi :

I did a few searches on the cardinal attacks and it says he might be in the mating season and is capable of attacking his own reflection, I was going to my car yest and there he was attacking my mirror! Thanks again for the lovely note:0)
from dangerspouse :
Hey, thank you very much for the note, and the suggestion to check Enterprise's weekend rates. That was very sweet of you! DS :)
from jimbostaxi :
Thanks for the encouragement it's been difficult but im still sticking to the plan. My biggest problem is Ive cut out so much sugar and caffeine out of my diet It feels like I'm so sluggish now. I have to look into taking some vitamins. Growing up we used to eat oatmeal in the mornings thanks for the idea im going get some :0)

Calling the police usually causes more violence than it prevents.
from jimbostaxi :
There are still some good people out there who try to help when they see abuse but I'm afraid most are too wrapped in there own pathetic lives to get involved. I too was once one of those people and someone died because i didn't get involved( it wasnt domestic abuse it was something different) i promised myself i would try to do a little good each day and get involved to make a difference when i can, May god have mercy on my soul for letting that person die. I also wanted to wish you a happy bday!
from jaysthoughts :
Just checking to see how many diarylanders still actually check their notes and stay active.
from dangerspouse :
Glad to help. I live to pontificate :)
from jimbostaxi :
Hey, ty for the bday note and the add on your list :0) im catching up on everyones entries saw you like 50 first dates too! :0)
from dangerspouse :
Which reminds me, particularly in light of your latest post, did you ever see the classic old Cary Grant movie "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House"? There are a few scenes in it that painfully mimic my life.
from dangerspouse :
BWAHAHAAAA! You have NO IDEA how refreshing to read that there is a woman out there who couldn't fix something first try. Sweet vindication! Yes!! Lol...thanks for the great note :) (Oh btw, I never saw the notes you left me *here* until just now! You do know you're supposed to leave responses at the other person's diary or they may never know about it, right? Well you do now!)
from msafire :
PS: Funny I did think of a moped as option and then when in Buffalo walking with daughter saw one which was a further reminder. Might be a good idea. In good news I have an interview in D.C. tomorrow which will entail more reasonable commuting like a NORMAL person.
from msafire :
HI DANGERSPOUSE PLEASE OH PLEASE Tell me that you just discovered my oh so fun and enticing journal and were compelled to read it something like 169 times recently?? IF you don't admidt such I sure hope I have ANOTHER FAN OR MANY New fans from your loyal followers that discovered me here as the only other option is my EX has his lawyers on the case again! (HA HA I have to just laugh at sudden spike in readers hitting my diary ALWAYS indicated detailed legal analysis! I just imagine those legal assistants getting PAID to analyse my ramblings must AT LEAST find that kinda fun, right? I am sure they are having a field day with the fact I LET MY KIDS RIDE BIKES... HA HA... and that I would LET MY 14 yr old babysit once! Truly , I don't check stats often but for some reason just did AND SO THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS and it saves me from expecting to be served papers imminently :) I know the pizza thing is a big red flag, but you know he did come up with a good excuse. Turns out MY KIDS TURNED HIM ONTO DR.WHO and as I don' have TV he really wanted to come get me, and make it back to HIS place for the new season premier where being a batchelor I am actually lucky to have the offering of frozen pizza from him! He also wanted desert first so frankly I can't complain about his priorities as we were BOTH very happy after not having seen him during the prior week with kids.... ;) Hey some things even trump chocolate! So after he came, I packed up the salad fixings, and froze the lasagna (as he didn't mind me keeping it for me to my further delight as I LOVED IT ), and we did head to his place to enjoy what turned out to be good pizza. Figures we were on the way there when realized I FORGOT MY INHALER and HAD to turn around! He had brought me the one I leave there as I ran out at home!! So go to pharmacy (which was closed! DARN ) then back home to grab the inhaler that was just about empty that I HAD to take with me to Buffalo where animals just abound. My guy was sweetly bringing me to and fetching me from the airport for my Buffalo excursion so I have to say I do think he is a keeper in the end!
from dangerspouse :
FROZEN pizza? Over lasagne?? Ok, that's a deal breaker. Get out while you still can. (And wait - there's such a thing as an excessive amount of chocolate?)
from dangerspouse :
Have you considered getting a moped? That way you could pedal when you want, and use the throttle if you're running late. I know it's not the best of either world, but... (Woo hoo on the new fridge!)
from dangerspouse :
Holy crap. I thought *I* wrote long entries! Well done - you're gonna make a helluva lawyer. PASS THAT BAR ALREADY! And then buy a reliable car, so you don't miss any appointments. With several extra sets of jumper cables :)
from dangerspouse :
Hey, I just saw you'd added me to your Parade O' Secret Crushes! (Er...I mean..."Favorite Diaries". Whatever.) Thanks so much, I'm very flattered! I should add you to mine also, as I always read when I see your name pop up. Thanks again! (And were you REALLY glad to see another woman giving a peck on the cheek to a man who really was on your "Secret Crush" list?) :)
from jimbostaxi :
Isn't there a major drug problem up there?
from i-lost-sarah :
You're a special kind of person to take time out of your lovely day of self indulgence to make mine :) Thank you for leaving such a sweet note! Bosa (kiss in Egyptian :P)
from dangerspouse :
Hey hey, thanks for the rockin' note at my place! I'm glad my silly scribblings make you grin once in a while. Like you stupid bike song did to me :) (And congrats on the girls getting good grades!)
from jimbostaxi :
Hmm, i think its a bit much. Its sounds good it just strikes me a tad over the top :0)
from jimbostaxi :
Ty very much for the note and the advice :0) I will give it a try!
from jimbostaxi :
:0( sorry to read about the bar axam.
from jimbostaxi :
That sucks about your laptop:0( too bad you cant track it or remotely turn the camera on to see who took it.
from jimbostaxi :
Speaking strictly from my past experiences of mixing sex in at the work place and it blowing up each time, the mailmen will stick to the conversations with no overly aggresive stuff. Hes hoping you will be the aggresive one with his comment about his bed he probably imagined you would say" can I come and help you test it out" :0)
from jimbostaxi :
Good luck with the toilet installation, ive never did one myself i have zero patience and im sure water would be leaking everywhere because i rushed it. Thanks for reading my stuff :0) its mostly boring but i have my moments!
from jimbostaxi :
Happy new year! Ty for the note :0) I was hooked after your mailman post! :0)
from lefeufleur :
I'll keep that in mind; thanks for the recommendation!
from reader1209 :
msafire, I don't mean to butt in but an appraiser's job is just to determine the value of a home. He has no interest in why you want to know how much your house is worth. He's just there to make an evaluation. It sounds to me like your husband is trying something sneaky but the appraiser can't really do anyhting to help or hinder him except maybe appraise it too high or too low, depending on which would benefit. do you have a lawyer? If you do, tell him/her all of this stuff so he/she is aware of the possiblity of any sneakiness. Good Luck to you. P.S. Your husband is not that smart if he thinks the bank isn't going to recheck the documents he gave them - photocopying a statement and then taking out the money would be a risky move if you ask me.

To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorite books.
