He even told me I saw something in a shop when we were in Virginia and he found it in Macys up here and got it for me because I said I always wanted one of those. I can't think for the life of me what I saw. Its driving me crazy!!!!!!! HE PAID ATTENTION!!!! As for the cabin, I was seeing stars I gotta tell ya. Literally and figuratively!!!!!!! LMAO! Crack me UP! I do that too, all of a sudden I will completely forget how to spell a word. Like, it just totally left my mind and I'm back in 2nd grade or something.

movinon05 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I think that bottles are sometimes the perfect gift. I have some friends that I play card/board games with. I bought them a bottle and a game that has drinking games in it. Oh boy, I haven't done that since college! Now I have to watch my kids do it! (Don't tell anyone, but I played a drinking game with my son and his friends one night). Had a blast. lol!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

(Don't tell anyone, but I played a drinking game with my son and his friends one night). Had a blast. lol!!!!!!! How fun! What game did you play? In HS we used to play quarters (of course), something about sh*t - like, everyone had to make up a name for themselves that had sh*t at the end of it, and a card game...pass the something or other. Hell, who can remember? I killed too many brain cells back in the day... Link to post Share on other sites

movinon05 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Oh guess what? My 20 yr old son gave me my Christmas gift tonight so he wouldn't have to wrap it! lol! He gave me a box set of Celtic cds and a t-shirt that says "Moms are like Dads, only smarter". He knows which side his bread is buttered on!!!!!!!! Oh, and the t-shirt he got for his father... "I'm with stupid" with an arrow pointing up!! LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
kymberann Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Can't give up, we are here for you! Movin your life sounds so content right now! I still struggle, but I am slowly getting somewhere. I've met a guy who is 32. I am 37. We are just having fun (wink, wink). I know it won't go anywhere. He is a cutie and I could like him a lot more but I know he isn't "the one". I'd like to see more of him, but it probably won't go that direction. Plus I am too apprehensive right now. But at least I am getting out there (and gettin some!!) I know it has helped me move on, that someone other than xMM finds me desirable, it's been a great ego boost. So for right now that is good enough! I hope the New Year finds each and every one of us with someone we are meant to be with and just as happy as Movin! We all deserve that! Best Link to post Share on other sites
Can'tGiveUp Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 So CGU, how will you spend Christmas? Are your kids coming back? They will be back in the early afternoon. We'll open up presents then. Then out for dinner. They have spent the last 2 with me in the morning, then a few hours with their dad, and back with me for dinner. So it really is due him. Rougher this year as I have no family visiting and now no kids and topped off with the whole R issue. Link to post Share on other sites
BenThereDunThat Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 There's a new drinking game now. It's probably not so new - I'm just old, lol. I think it's called beer pong? I think they have bar leagues and everything now. Man, I wish we had thought of that back then. It looks like fun. Link to post Share on other sites

I took my aunt to see a Celtic show (see, now my brain won't let me come up with the name of the damn show...) at the Fox last year. 3 women.... Loved it. Ever hear of The Saw Doctors? They're a band out of Ireland. I have one cd - so fun. They do American tours, but the closest they ever come to me is Chicago. They're not so much Celtic, but VERY Irish. When I was still married, we took the son of our Dublin GM out on the river. He was interning with us at the time. I played my Saw Doctors CD and we had a blast singing to it. Let me tell you, the boy drank me under the table.... Link to post Share on other sites

Best Kymber, I had my share of STRs that I knew wouldn't last but I enjoyed them and let them be what they were. Each experience you have, you learn something new about yourself and what you want - AND what you don't want. It really is a process you have to go through. And yeah, it feels good to know there are others out there who desire you too. That helps a hell of a lot. Link to post Share on other sites

kymberann Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Movin, You are right. From this last R with the MM it has put into perspective what I am and am not willing to put up with. It has made me stronger and it has made me realize to not compromise my integrity or identity in any relationship. So...I'll drink to that! Link to post Share on other sites

They're all like my kids. I think the Celtic cds are just random. Haven't listened to them yet. Hey, I think I'll put them on now. I've never heard of the Saw Doctors, but the big band here is Blackthorn! They are awesome! OOh Ahh, up the ra!! Know that song???? Link to post Share on other sites

And you'll see different things with different guys that just don't cut it. They might be nice guys and all, but I've had a few try to plan my life for me and that just wasn't going to happen! Its not just things you are not going to put up with that you put up with - with MM. Its little things. Hard to describe. Link to post Share on other sites

I've never heard of the Saw Doctors, but the big band here is Blackthorn! They are awesome! OOh Ahh, up the ra!! Know that song???? erm, no, but I'll have to look them up for sure. The thing with the Saw Dr.'s is when I mentioned it to Colin, he was like, yeah, they're kinda older people's music... Excuse me? lol - but like I said, there was at least one song that we were belting out loud too. He said it was the one he and his mates always sang as they were closing/leaving the pub...I'll have to get it out of my car now, in fact, it's what I was listening to just this evening. My favorite Irish/Celtic song is "Mary's Wedding." I'd love to find a good version of it. I like the music because it's so haunting. I love hearing any traditional music and picking up on all the influences. Same with Cajun, Bluegrass, all that stuff. Sorry, but you picked up on a topic that I can be annoyingly passionate about!

Can'tGiveUp Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 And yeah, it feels good to know there are others out there who desire you too. That helps a hell of a lot. I am quite grounded when it comes to MM. We had another 3 months for which I will forever be grateful for. I truly love him. He made the wrong choice and he knows it, but it is his life. He will break NC at some point just to have a small part in my life. It may not be for 6 months but he will. But I am resolved that I can't do this again. However, I guess I was so sure that it wouldn't last I didn't completely cut contact with another person in my life. And when, in the past couple of days, when I start to really get down, I remember that I have this guy who is 10 years younger than me that finds me attractive and likes me for who I am. He is mostly an 'on-line' friend since we live a huge distance apart, but he comes to town occasionally. The only downer is that he is out of the country right now and I won't be able to get the 'ego boost' I need for a few more weeks. Link to post Share on other sites

My exMM broke NC over a year later sending me gifts, but I didn't budge. 7 yrs was long enough. Not going there again. You know, you just get to the point where its just not worth it. Maybe you can open yourself up to new possibilities since this other guy isn't around much. Time, my friend. Link to post Share on other sites

Have to get back there. Sooo jealous! When I got divorced I went back to my maiden name. As soon as I get all my SS card and what not all straightened out, the first thing I'm going to do is get my passport. I've never been to Europe and there is so much I'm dying to see. I've decided that if I have to I will do it by myself. Just whip out the credit card, money be damned.... I don't have any friends I can drag along with me. The ones who do have the money would not want to traipse (sp?) through all the history and stuff that I want to look at. So, screw it. I'll do it myself! HA! Link to post Share on other sites
Author Freedom Now Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 I went to Europe when I was in high school but unfortunately, I didn't appreciate all of the things that I saw back then.

There is a walk done from France to Santiago, Spain. It's called "El Camino de Santiago". To do the full walk takes about a month. You can still receive a certificate of completion by doing 100 km rather than the full 900 km. It is based on religion (Catholicism mainly) but many that I know have made it more of a spiritual walk. I am totally not religious but have seriously contemplated doing it. Celebrate finding myself, finding the courage to leave a bad marriage, etc... There are places to spend the night etc. along the way (free of charge) plus a look at another culture. I may have to do the same as you...whip out the credit card and just go...I've always wanted to go to Europe, just never quite fit into my life. Link to post Share on other sites
BenThereDunThat Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 The Irish drinking song me and the Irish kid sang out loud together on the river...bolding where the emphasis goes... I have fallen for another she can make her own way home And even if she asked me now I’d let her go alone I useta see her up the chapel when she went to Sunday mass And when she’d go to receive, I’d kneel down there And watch her pass The glory of her ass I useta to love her, I useta love her once A long, long time ago I useta to love her, I useta love her once A long long time ago It’s gone , all my lovin’ is gone It’s gone , all my lovin’ is gone D’you remember her collecting for concern on Christmas eve She was on a forty eight hour fast just water and black tea I walked right up and made an ostentatious Contribution And I winked at her to tell her I’d seduce her in the future When she’s feelin looser So now you know the truth of it she’s no longer my obsession Though the thoughts and dreams i had of her would take six months in confession See i met this young one Thursday night and she’s inta free expression And her mission is to rid the world of this sinful repression Then we had a session It’s gone , long , long gone I have fallen for another and she can make her own way home Link to post Share on other sites
