Go with the flow is from the 70s? Sheesh, I'm feeling old now... :o)


>>And you found him ;-) I can feel your love for him every time you mention him. Nice.

>>I know what you mean -- it will happen when I least expect it. Go with the flow, isn't that the west coast way of putting it?

>Hmmmm ... I think that expression dates us a bit ... doesn't that go back to the 70's or somewhere way back then? <g>

>>>You know what Mike? You'll find her when you're not looking. You look too hard and it doesn't work. I was at a FoxPro conference 9 years ago when I met Gary ... and I certainly was *not* looking for Mr. Right at the time. <g>

>>>>>>Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It's old, it's positive, and it's all-inclusive. We get together with our families. We gorge. Some of us, those of us without dependencies, overdrink and become extravagant. We say no, no, I couldn't possibly eat that. And then we eat it Everyone is happy.

>>>>>>I have an ex-family. Meaning Tricia and her family. From the first year we were married -- actually I think from the year before, when we were just engaged and living together -- everyone convened at our house every year. The crowd varied between 18 and 25, give or take. All the others had alternate in-laws in the area. We pushed every last table and chair into our long living room, which was the one indisputable charm of our house. Poppa, Tricia's dad, sat at the head of the table and said grace. He said "Our father....

>>>>>>It's always a hard day for me. My best to everyone here.

>>>>>We already had ours up here in October, but all my best to all of you. If nothing else, we can all be thankful for the friends and enemies we've made here on the UT, who have made our lives a little more interesting.

>>>>So true. And many more friends than enemies. I can truly say I don't feel like I have any enemies here. There are a few who annoy me sometimes, and enjoy annoying me, but I know I bring most of it on myself. It's a great group and my life is richer for being part of it. Wow, that sounds corny, LOL, but it's true.

>>>>The last woman I was in love with ragged me endlessly about the UT. She said these people aren't your friends, it's just an escape for you. She said get off the UT and stay off. I haven't and I don't plan to. My so-called fake friends here have been more committed to me than she ever was.

>>>>This is about 10 minutes later. I was lost in daydreams about her. I can complain about her but the fact remains I was more in love with her than anyone I have ever met. I guess I'm enough of a romantic to think each of us finds only one special one, the one every part of us fits together with like Legos. Two peas in a pod, as we used to say. Some of us, like Grady, are lucky enough to wind up with that special someone. Others of us don't. What I'm struggling with is settling for someone else. I know I should. Alone is no way to be.
