Well I am a free man again!

“Advice:

I used to date some back in the day. I came to a point in my life where I said, no more. I will take care of biz and if the right person comes alone, cool. If not, I'll live. 2 1/2 years later, I met my soulmate/wife. Good things come to those that wait. Bad relationships are formed when two parties do not want to wait.”

“Sorry to hear of all the break ups, but good luck to all of you. Sometimes things happen for the best and why not look at what appears to be a negative situation as an opportunity. Maybe get involved in some new activity or take advantage of more time to do things you already enjoy doing. Join a club to meet new friends.”

“TT, if you have more than 3 cats, you have to register.”

“Sounds like it's time for the Lost Wolf to get back on the trail.”

“Good luck to all. I love being single, and I mean LOVE it. Although when Rick was alive I had never ever been happier!!! Enjoy your life as you live it.”

“Good luck to all. I love being single, and I mean LOVE it. Although when Rick was alive I had never ever been happier!!! Enjoy your life as you live it.”

“I just came from a great party that I'd never have gone to if I was still in my last relationship. It was great to be in a room full of people who share MY interests instead of someone elses for a change!

I'm sorry to hear about your breakups CMB, Twinkle Toes and Evergreen.

Now go for a hike!

o(:}”

“I'm available and I don't smoke cigars. I just huff paint.”

“all lies - someone tells you they love you - and then - wham - out the door they go - and for what? - and that's that? its a load of crap i tell ya”

“Please seez my above post, then pack your pack and hike....”

“Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar

“tango you're right - live is to be lived and enjoyed however it comes along”

“Sorry to hear it CMB and Evergreen! You all did get to share some good times though. Chins up, and forward march. =)”

“CMB "When you're down and confused
and you can't remember who you're takin to Concentration slips away so anyway love the one you're with." Hope you find happiness or happy times!”

“Just be you.....don't try to hard to make things happen, just let it happen and then it will.”

“I say hike on!

“it's a brand new day - how the heck is everyone?”

“OK,but it would be nice if the sun would come out. It's still raining.”

“yeah - its rainy and quite dreary here also”

“Ya it would be great if I did not have to work tonight and on Sunday.I would much rather be backpacking this weekend.

8)”

“think i'll be doing me laundry on this rainy day - and then tonight I'm going out and I'm going to celebrate my newly aquired singedom status - eat yer hearts out 'cause here I come

LOL”

“I don't think that mine tasts all that good so I think I am going to leave it inside of me!

Ha Ha!!!!!

8)”

“nonsense - just add some soy sauce - and its all good”

“That might make it taste better!

8)”

“Go out and have a wild night on the town.”

“That sounds like a plan but I would much rather go backpacking.

8)”

“Those long distance relationships can be tough. The bright side is...lower phone bills, LOL!”

“Another good point!

8)”

“if ya can't go out hiking only one thing to in times like these . . . go out and BUY SOME NEW GEAR!!!”

“Ya and drink tang!

“working on watching 42 episodes of beavis and butthead 8)”

“Ya that sounds like fun dude I like to watch them on the PC.

“Tilt, was it the Isley Brothers? I have no memory for who sang what. What's funny is that when I sing along to oldies, my husband assumes their new songs because I know the words.

Today, I sang to the Partidge Family's "I think I live you". Hubby thought it was new. Then when I made fun of him, and told him who it was, he tried to bail out and say that maybe it was a current make-over song.”

“Sorry to hear all about the breakups. Better earlier than wait another 5 years....that will be even harder. Chins up people.”

“Can you say Industeral Strip”

“The Isley Brothers were a little before my time, too. I cheated and looked it up, LOL


I can't tell you
Who to sock it to...

<G>”

“Sorry, Evergreen and Crazy Mike. Best of luck to you both. It's tough, but things will look up eventually. Be glad for the time you had together. :-) It was great to meet you both this past summer.”

“P.S. I've only been there like 20 times since the marriage ended in 1988. EEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeek!!! Can certainly relate......”

“Yuck!!!

Growing old with cats!?!?!?

Seattle, on the other hand, is way cool!

Aaaaaannnnnnddddd, its about 100 miles to Mt Rainier Natl Park and 200 or less to Olympic Natl Park!

You could seriously getchyer arse stalked by a koo-guh or a rogue bear...haha!

Those parks have nearly endless possibilities for backpacking trips.”

“Oops, I didn't read the second page.”

“Long distance relationships are rough..especially when you need someone and they cant be there for you..

Mike, I hope you find that backpacking hottie that you want..You have a heart of gold and deserve the best..”

“I find that being single is a whole lot better after I listen to people gripe about their spouse/SO. You've all made me feel better about being single. I would like to thank you for that.”

“I feel better too Geobeet =)”

“me thinks I sense something that hasn't been brought out, but that's not my concern...

I'm sorry to hear this news...especially since you (CMB) were so "over the top" at the beginning. Relationships are work...and if you don't work at them and make time for the other person and make plans and sacrifice personal time, then it will not work...Lizs and I are working through that now...there is much to learn about another person...especially when they have been solo for any significant time or have gone through the meat grinder of other relationships...I would council you to take a lighter stand on "being single", it doesn't show empathy towards Evergreens feelings, and women take things much more personal than men, just go back and read some of Twinkle Toes posts...pretty nasty and full of animosity...

Everyone here was quick to land on CMB's side of the fence...but there is another person here to consider and her name is Evergreen, she is just as much a part of TT as CMB is...so to Evergreen...sorry to here the news...hope it gets better in the NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE!

Men suck, and thats the truth... [:-P~~~ phhhhhhhhhttttt~~~~”

“Go back and read some of the posts stikmon, several of us offered sympathy to both parties - evergreen included.”

“but still...”

“Sorry to hear about that!

Evergreen, I carried that soft rose quartz in my pocket that you sent me for months... I think I lost it again. I can't hang onto them! Please come down to the Smokies anytime! I really enjoyed meeting you on the Hot Springs trip. I might make a trip up to Boone sometime soon, if you'll have me!”

“Hey Evergreen -

I was hoping you'd post again - just wanted to make sure you still felt a part of this crazy place!

Relationships are tough, so is being single. I think a lot of people think the grass is greener on the other side.”

“In our spare time, single people do the same thing married people do: sit around and wonder what it's like being happily married!”
