    About Me

    I'm in my 50's and spend a lot of time reading, writing fiction, watching old classic movies and Star Trek reruns, emailing and occasionally listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers. Still wondering when I am going to feel like a "grown up." :) My favorite saying comes from Will Rogers: "People are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." Hard work, sometimes, when the world won't cooperate, but absolutely true in the end.

    Interests

    LOTR, Star Wars, Star Trek, Galaxy Quest, (should I just say fantasy/sci fi movies and be done with it?) books, Harry Potter, Cadfael mysteries, history, picnics, feeding ducks at the lake, spiritual endeavors that aren't hell-fire and brimstone, tolerance, gentility, chivalry and being good to your fellow humans, otherkins or whomever else are out there. :)

      I got the glasses from my ex tonight. I met him outside so that he would only have to stay for 30 seconds. I was glad that he was in as much a hurry …

      From StillMovingforward May 11

      I know, I have had many people from foreign countries try to scam me too. I appreciate your kind words. I am going to call around tomorrow and see if I can find some help locally. I am sure that there are many people in my position right now with the rising gas and food prices. I was going to go to church this morning but was too upset to go.Hopefully I can go to the monday evening service. I need to make some local friends, I hadnt tried to meet people here because I was embarrassed for them to meet my husband but now he is gone so I can feel more comfortable.

      Thanks again, CalyrElf, we are both Children of the Universe. I sense your goodness right away. In other cultures, helping others is a virtue more prized than it is here, I think. Well, let us both flourish in our abilities...

      Thank you for the comment in my journal. I had a difficult life, like so many of the people on these DS support groups. I hope to bloom where I find myself. There is some time left to do some good. Best to you, my new friend CalyrElf.

      Woman meets handsome younger man. Woman loses sanity and marries him, then loses home, savings, car and bonds. Man eventually grows bored, cheats again and again, then leaves for another older woman with home, savings, car and bonds. Rotsaruck, missy! PS....it was worth it. I have an incredibly smart, decent, sensitive and honest 14 year old son out of the deal. I'd say I walked away with more than I ever lost. :)
