Well that's the end of that. I want to cry.

P.s. the 1st chore on your list should be New Locks, and going to animal shelter to find big lovable "killer puppy, with loud bark. later.peace

That's a bummer about not being able to find someone you thought was the bees knees. Too bad. The Cape is nice but SUCH a zoo in summer!!!
And as for the chores, new locks are already on the weekend list and my tenant has a 200 pound English MAstiff named Mr. Butters who ALREADY doesn't like Jeff... maybe I will borrow him for a while! I'm hoping to get a puppy this winter to keep my little girl The Tess company. Tess (she came from a shelter! Woot! I love Petfinder.com!!!!!!!) isn't much of a guard dog- she looks fierce from her Boxer side but is a total mush. I'm thinking about getting an Olde Boston Bulldogge pretty soon but the only breeders I know of are in Ontario and Texas! Dogs are the best. They always love ya.

Last night my dear boyfriend, who I love very much, and I finally called it quits after living together for more than 2 years. It was a sweet love story too... we met at Okemo ski resort in Vermont while he was working there as a snow-maker and I was skipping work to ski the first day of the season. He had the absolute worst pickup line that I had ever EVER heard... "How do you like the snow? I made it. Wanna share a lift?" And it Rating: 5

Hi Stinky- I only just joined this board but you have been so nice and helpful to me that I feel like I have known you a long time- your sweet spirit shines through the lines of your posts! I am 10 years into my third marriage- the first two husbands chose cocaine and crack over me, and that's not too flattering, but after the second one lied and stole from me, I moved up here to Boston with my cat and my dog (I lived in the Berkeley YWCA for a month until I found a place!) and went to graduate school. I met my current husband about a year after I got here and he made all the other rotten men disappear from the hurt places in my heart! Please don't give up hope- all of this is happening in order to take you to a stronger place where you can insist on a love that is worthy of you. Treat yourself as you would a dear friend who is suffering, and give yourself lots of treats- hot baths, massages, pretty toys and tons of chocolate! Do not settle for less than the best when you start dating again- and please get some good locks on your doors to keep you safe. If you need someone to help you in any way- let me know and I will be in your corner (I have a bag of Dove dark chocolates right here!). I believe we cross paths with people in order to share our experiences in order to help each other, and you have already made me feel as if I am not alone by responding to my posts, so please know that my shoulder is here if you need to cry or yell or whatever. Hang in there lovely lady!

Stinky after your post about the boyfriend returning and stealing from you I had to smile. Isn't it amazing how we push anything negative out of our minds when we miss someone or something? I'd like to personally thank him for reminding you in a big way who he really is.

I have always found (for myself) that if I set aside a period of time--however much time--to grieve--not try to "forget" or ignore it makes things easier later on. When things hurt realize that they hurt because of all your energy and love. That is worth a huge amount which is why it hurts so much. Respect that; don't dismiss it. Take care.

So nice of you to say that Storm Crow! I've admired you for the wisdom you share in your posts - some very cool women visit this board!

[slowlickitysplit]

I'm not great with words stinky but I feel for you. Broken heart mixed with sever anger? Not fun. Makes you want to kiss him as he lies dieing from the holle you just blasted in him. Good luck. I'll be thinking about you.

[Weedhound]

Gee slow, don't know if I agree with you about you not being good with words...seemed you said things pretty clear there to me

Stinkyattic,

I just want to offer my hopes for you to find a great man when you are ready for a new relationship. I have been lurking around these boards for a while now, and you are one of the main inspirations I have found here. It has been said before on this thread, but it bears repeating: your wonderful personality shines through in your posts! Best of luck!

Oh Stinky what can I say?? I just found this thread, just have been so busy. You have had some great words given to you throughout this thread and I hope that you take them to heart because they are all so true and filled with loving kindness.
Life is indeed a journey and sometimes the road is ruff, believe me I know. It is funny, in the midst of all of the losses, those scarres have toughened up and added some character to this rugged bear hide and I am no worst for the where. I know that the days may go a little slower now, but just keep doing what your doing, keeping a positive attitude and occupy your self with those things that you enjoy along with continuing to share your life with those around you.
I am glad to have you as a friend and even when you don't here from me for a while, just know that you are still a partner and I don't let time and distance change those factors.
About finding a new man, yah they are out there, but no need to hurry, good men are like good wine, sometimes it takes a long time to find that truly seasoned one that just touches your taste buds like know other and is a true gift to all of your senses. I wish that men would find fulfillment in really wanting to be a man, not a little boy that is still playing games and looking for a mommy to take care of him and let them throw their tantrums when they don't get their way.
I like being a husband and a father, but I had to lose a 8 year relationship and 3 children to figure all of that out. Now I strive to be a better husband and father and love and nurture my family. I always try to go the extra mile to be a good man for my family and friends, that is something that no one can take away from me and the same with being a beautiful woman, mother, wife or friend. Big buds, big bucks, nice cars and big houses are nice, but they just don't compare to having a good steadfast heart that wants to love and help IMO.
Well, let me get down off of the soap box and find a tree to scratch my back on. LOL
Love you, per, per..
PS, KP can't wait for you to get that cabin up here, I will be the bear rug in front of the fire place that keeps you gals cozy and safe.
Adieu
PPS, want a good protector of a dog, look up the Rhodesian Ridgeback.
