Hang in there. I can tell you are a romantic, like most of us. Your true love may be lurking in the next Starbucks, supermarket aisle, or dog run. All it takes is a moment of connection.

"Hold Back The Tears" (c) Neil Young

Hello, my old friend.
It's good to see you smiling.
You've been around so long,
you must be strong.
And single life really
has its fine points,
Like friends to help you out
when things go wrong.

Hold back the tears
That you've been cryin'.
Push off the fears
When they come around.

Hold back the tears,
And keep on trying.
Just around the next corner
May be waiting your true love.

Two lying fools,
And then four cryin' eyes,
Counting on one another
to survive.
Crazy love
must surely have this pain,
If getting up
means going down again.

Hold back the tears
That you've been cryin'.
Push off the fears
When they come around.

Hold back the tears,
And keep on trying.
Just around the next corner
May be waiting your true love.



>I gave up on true love. I have too much history to overcome and wouldn't ask anyone to take on that kind of baggage. I think there have been 3 people in my life I could have had a permanent relationship with, but I think now, by choice, I'm destined to be the consumate friend, FB and favorite uncle. Not all with the same person, of course.

>>>Of course. :o)

>>>>>>>>Amen on this one!!! I consider myself to have a pretty high moral value and integrity .. but as a mother ... I would do just about anything to protect my children. I have been stuck in a very ugly custody battle and when my son told me that his father has a plan to get some big money .. and it's risky .. and it involves my son .. you can imagine the major concern I had. If I knew of any way to get more information .. I would!!

>>>>>>>>But I think I figured it out when my ex attempted to get my son to "loan" him all his savings so he could buy my son a 4-wheeler .. just a few days before my ex flew off to Vegas. Gee .. can we all see the scam?!?!? Luckily I was a step ahead of my ex and I had already moved my son's money out of his savings account and into a CD when I heard of the risky plan. I'm soooo glad I followed my gut!!
