““A pro?”

yea. a pro. i had a long distance relationship for over 2 years and looky where it got me.”

“2 years isn't a pro. That's amature ;) now 3.5 years is a pro.

Now for a philidelphia reference I should mention that she was T.O.'s algebra tutor at UTC. Met TO at UTC his senior year... nice guy back then. Go TO!”

“I have only heard of one long distance relationship ever working. My grandparents. Of course that was a different time then.

Sure as hell never worked for me.”

“speaking of distance how many miles would you travel to keep the relationship going?

to me no more than 25 mile radius from where I live”

“Ewker depends on where you live. I'm in rural southern Indiana. I have a date Friday an hour away. 25 miles doesn't give me many options.”

“50 miles diameter wise but you are right in a small town that isn't far. For me a 50 mile diameter covers a lot of area”

“25 miles isn't very far. I wouldn't consider that long distance. 1 hour + drive would be long distance IMHO.”

“try doing across the world (japan vs. pennsylvania) and then tell me i'm not a pro!”

“ummm, thats just silly scorch! j/k ;)”

“yeah, thats crazy scorch. How often did you get to see each other?”

“Yeah people, but was it the long-distance part that caused the problems or the actually being together?”

“I have crabs. Anyone up for a one night stand?”

“Not to point out the obvious Ewker, but how far would you be willing to travel to hike?

Hmm......I wonder how far you would be willing to travel to hike with someone you were interested in.

I can't say too much about your 25 miles radius rule;

I had a girlfriend move to West Knoxville when I was in school and 17 miles just seemed too far to drive:) Or maybe it was just too far to drive after drinking and we all know that we make better decisions after not drinking:)

My hiking radius: 1500 miles or so.

My dating radius: about 300 miles I guess unless they lived somewhere I wanted to move anyway:)”

“sure i'll bring the fish and we can make some crab stuffed fish tacos”

“isn't it kind of expected when you see someone in the service that they will have to be reassigned?

Y2, I think it is the distance. Kind of hard to carry on when you are apart. Not like you can go over and have dinner, meet for drinks, etc”

“of course it's expected that they would be reassigned but japan was the last on the list.

we saw each other on leave and when i went over there. he'd be on leave a month at a time.. sometimes 2 weeks or so. we talked a lot via email and phone. his phone bills were like 600 a month... including phone cards.”

“I think the hard thing about is that its almost impossible to really get a feel of how the person is and how you are together on a day-to-day basis.

I'd have to say that as of right now, my radious is 100 miles.”

“hiking and dating are 2 different things.
I will drive 300+ plus to hike. I don't want to drive that same distance to see someone for a few hours esp since I have to drive back to go to work on Monday”

“radio-us? :D

It's hard to do all the little things that make a relationship work with a LDR. The looks, touches, laying on the couch doing nothing but enjoying each other's company... etc. Not sure why anyone would want to every go through that!

Moments of bliss followed by weeks of agony.

“Yeah, but the break-ups in long-distance relationships often come when the couple are eventually able to get together - then it's just like any relationship breaking up. The long-distance thing just lengthens the timespan.”

“The radius I'm willing to drive is directly related to the size of her boobs. I once dated Dolly Parton while living in Madagascar.”

“sorry to hear about you and the batman scorch. guess that's why you've been back on TT a lot more lately?”

“Scorchy and Pennsy are getting married. I read it in the paper.”

“Yeah, but I heard it’s only because Pennsy got ScorchFire knocked up.”

“Does Pennsy know?”

“Not yet. But hey, we're gonna have one hell of a bachelor party !! that'll cheer him right up.”

“Bump - for Pennsy.”

“Sometimes long distance relationships work. But as someone already said, if it doesn't, it's usually not the distance that wrecked the relationship. Jon and I have been close and then very far (Indiana to Afghanistan for a year) and then close again. We had only known each other for about 4 months before he left. Now he has been back home for 4 months, and our relationship is as strong and healthy as ever.

Even bad break ups aren't all bad. You need those to learn from. And bad relationships, etc. help you learn yourself and learn what you want and what you need in a SO and hopefully make you smart about choosing your next SO. Learn from your relationships, deal with your baggage, and move on. I know I am a much better, stronger, wiser person today than I was 15 years ago (but I have plenty more to work on). I think the more experienced and the more one learns and knows about oneself, the more attractive and desireable they are (as long as they aren't bitter).”

““sorry to hear about you and the batman scorch. guess that's why you've been back on TT a lot more lately?”


nah, we've been broken up for about 4 months or so now... just been really stressed out lately and trying to get my #&%!$ in order during that time.”

“i'm knocked up with pennsy's baby!? hmm.. it'll have his bald head!”

“At this point if they don't live right across the street I'm not interested. I just have so much to do and see that I don't want to take the time to date.

When I'm in the dating mode 20 or 25 miles should be the limit, but there are exceptions.”

“I went to a retirement planning class a few weeks ago.
The single most important thing I got out of it was to never remarry.
Get married and you lose control of the funds you have been putting in for many years.
I'll have to really be in love to remarry.
Very depressing.”

“Stovey, prenup???”

“Prenups do not mean a thing.”

“Stove, they need to teach that class b4 you get married.”

“Just bury the money in the back yard. They can't take what they don't know you have.”

“That works unless you forget about it when you move”

“In Indiana the law is based on commingling of accounts. If the money is kept in separate accounts and not commingled with joint funds or used jointly, then it is considered outside the "marital pot" during division. Generally then, the marital pot is comprised of only funds that were garnered or accrued during the marriage. They only thing they might be able to touch would be the interest that accrues on the principal.”

“In a perfect world, you are correct Ruby.

In Mississippi, the law still does not recognize women as equally responsible.
It's the same old thing of women have 'rights', men have 'responsibilies'.”

“That sucks, Stovey. Don't suppose you could move, huh?”

“LOL, it's a nation wide problem, Ruby. ;-)”

“I wanna get married so that my husband can pay off all my debt. Mwwwwwoooooooohaaaaahaaaaa!”

“even if credit cards are in both names the man gets stuck with the bill. Most cc companies consider the wife as a secondary name on the card.
Just because you close an cc account don't think that it can't be reopened by the spouse.”

“Joking aside, the problem really comes in if I remarry a woman of far less financial means than myself.
It seems the only women my age that want to get married are the ones that need to get married for the financial support.

Not that I've asked any lately, LOL.

“yeah, really, I'm just joshing. :)

I would like to get my finances in order before I get involved in a marriage...I think there is already enough to worry about without adding the financial stress.”

“I don't need the financial Support kev...”

“"I wanna get married so that my husband can pay off all my debt. Mwwwwwoooooooohaaaaahaaaaa!”

LOL
That was a nice little surprise I got a few weeks after marrying my now ex.

In embear's case, it might be worth it.”

“Stovestomper, just curious....shouldn't you really be in love to marry a woman? Why the heck else would you sign up to spend the rest of your life with someone?!”

“I'm sure you will make someone a fine wife, DDX. ;-)”

“funny, one of the reasons I've never gotten married is because I own my own home - and it's MINE! LOL...”
