Bummer!

“Do I see a sign of war comming up?????

Oh no here we go!!!!

Rack them up knock them down!!

8P”

“There is no "war". Jello will come to find that "they" have no place here and will remove "themselves" (how many there are, only they know). I would invite Jello on many hikes, or conversations for that matter, but they are a troll, for trolls do not want there pics placed on Phil's website. They rather sit back, "stroke off" on the keyboard and hide behide thier moniker. Easier that way, isn't it?”

“I will think of laqtis and stroke my keyboard.........ya know, I might just do that....and I won't put my picture on Phil's so YOU won't stroke your "keyboard"”

“Have the courage to change those things that need to be, and accept those that you have no control over to change. Alway's choose the right. Don't look at yourself in other people's problems. Help them to find answer's. Sound's like you need to put some of your past to rest. Before you go any futher.”

“... keep provin' my point! LOL!”

“... keep provin' my point! LOL!”

“that's what I'm here for.”

“that's what I'm here for.”

“Things are cool. It's just that I have been really wondering why my relationships don't work out. My last girlfriend (ended in 1998) ought to have been the one. She was my age, very cultured and attractive - not at all the outdoor typs -except that she told me she had always dreamed of going canoe-camping and so we did.

I started withdrawing and looking for excuses to dump her and I just didn't know why. Now I think I do and I feel a whole lot better.

Winchester, Toast to the East, but I don't know how I'm going to face you - but it will be to-morrow if Paul gets in. BTW, your wife's in poo.”

“I AM SOOOOO HOOOOOORNY FOR 'BOU.”

“Toast to the East?

Is that you, big guy? When are you arriving? If you'll be at Pete's to-morrow evening, we'll drop over. Be sure to bring Joanne (Joanne's in charge of student teachers at another university and she does NOT approve.) and we'll have a drink or two. BTW, your sister-in-law's in pooh. E-mail me.

This has turned out to be a pretty good thread. Life is very good and I have realised a bunch of stuff that I thought I'd put behind me; now it's out and I can finally deal with it. Thank you, TTers.

Yesterday I had rugby and volleyball training after school. I went to Chantal's after and we watched 'Peter Pan' (J.M. Barry was a child molester, BTW.). After bath and shower and a couple of beers, we made love. Afterward I cracked open a bottle of wine and read to her while tickling her back. At the end of the chapter I was sure she was fast asleep when she suddenly asked, 'Do you think it could work, you and I?' («Penses-tu que ça pourrait marcher, toi et moi?»). I just answered that it will work as long as she wants it to and after we'll move on. JEEZ, I'm finally learning. Life is pretty good.

Did I mention that I'm soooooo hoooorny for 'bou?

Toast to the West.”

“If ya love em' enough to let them go, and they come back, now that's love. Good luck Gremlin, and, coming from Ohio...........


Toast to the North!”

“Well, she told me last night she wasn't going to Scotland. I think I'll let this thread die - for a while at least.”

“And so I return home to an empty house.

It's like the bad old days when I drove my kids to their mother's after my week-end with them. The house would scream empty at me and I would stop at the pub for a few beers just to be able to walk into my house (and go to work the next morning).

Last year was my daughter's tumour - travelling back and forth to Toronto; bringing her back and taking her to doctors and hospitals.

This year my son came to live with me to complete his course in cabinet making. It was not always easy sharing my tiny house (it would be huge flat) with a 32 year-old adult, yet it went pretty well.

Now he's gone.

I look back and think I want to talk - not with friends, but - I guess - here.

How did I get here? How did I get there?

What will be next?

Just move on, Folks. Just move on; nothing to see.

Eh?”

“As one door closes a window will open, but sometimes you have to walk for a while before you find the window.”

“Have any pets? Sometimes they are the best people.”

“No pets, Opie, the thought of something depending on me emotionally fills me with horror.”

“How bout a nice hike with old friends?
Hang in there Grem, hope things start lookin up soon for ya....”

“time to visit your friends in NY. swing on down to the treehouse. we have what ales ya :)”

“time to visit your friends in NY. swing on down to the treehouse. we have what ales ya :)”

“you have invited TWICE so you have to say YES!”

“You can say that again!”

“She did that already.”

“I'm over run with cats/kittens...a stressful day at work has me looking forward to coming home and squeezing a kitten. And the cat "blanket" at night is awesome.

I recently shared my home with my 32 year old son. At times I wanted to throttle him, but mostly it was okay. He did a lot around the house, built a chicken fence for me. He'll be back to finish his degree.”

“Cool!”
