Yep, a boy your own age is probably the best thing. More reliable in the errr trouser department.

Why does everyone keep asking about the avatar? Why shouldn't I have a big heart avy? I'm a happy, sweet, loving kinda guy after all...oh right ... hang on a mo...yeah perhaps it ought to be something a little more in keeping. I'll try to find one that represents the true me. I'll enter "mean nasty bastard" in Google Images and see what pops up. Actually, I won't be able to use the result because it'll be my actual picture. :H

Red,
I am trying to catch up but how the hell can I. I know CL was a weirdo or somewhat in his sexual preferences, but what now? Gosh, I wish I had yor story:upset:
I have 3 losers and all of them want to do something every weekend! What's wrong with me? I really don't like any of them in that way. I am wrong I know. You told Mogler "Until we are whole how can we really be that way to someone eles":l
So frickin true!

Hope you are well! I have to read so much!

Miss you and love you!

What? Together? At the same time? Whoa, that's pretty wild Lushy.

You Americans know no bounds when it comes to adventurous sexual exploits.:H

Luscious,

Don't fret, I'm sure you have more going on with the three losers, than I do at this point. There are sometimes prospects on the horizon, but that doesn't mean much. It hasn't proven fruitful to this point. :H I am busy trying to get whole, and the rest will happen when it does.

That being said, I'm going on a date July 9th. I had to postpone it because of the holiday. I'm not going to put much weight into it. I'll just show up and see what happens.

Good for you Red! Why not putting too much weight into it? Just have fun!!

i think she's probably just having a healthy detachment about it, taw. best to do it that way, not to get your mental hooks into an idea that has no track record yet.

red, i've been meaning to tell you a story. your karen's eating habits are a good counterpoint to this one. i had made some barley salad (barley, red onion, vinegars, salt, parsley and other herbs from the garden, olive oil, feta chees) and my son (4 and a half) was hungry. i asked if he wanted some and he said yes. (!) i put a generous bowl in front of him and he ate most of it!!! can you imagine?!

we made hummus that day, too. he usually loves the stuff. he was an active participant in its creation, but, sadly, he didn't like the end product. well, you can't win them all. but the ones you do win are huge victories.

did karen try and like the guac?

thinking of you.

Red, hope you're doing okay, and sounds like having that nanny is already helping.

Hey, I have three losers too and a blocked connection~ the least losery of the three is 13 years older than me and I think he may be an alcoholic.

aww, bruun, that's hilarious! hope you don't mind; your post made me chuckle. good luck with alla that.

red, how does your garden grow? and how does your nanny grow? looking forward to your next report, when you have a sec to give it.

Taw, it is exactly what Rudy stated. I am detached at the moment. There is no reason to project, as to what the future will bring. I also have no interest in engaging in a serious or heavy long term relationship. I don't have the time or energy, to give to someone else right now. I have far more important issues to focus on. I do feel something is lacking and missing in my life...adult male companionship. I need to have some adult activity, away from kids, nannies, and stressful jobs. I need some lighthearted fun and stress relief. I have very little time to offer him, maybe an evening a week. I believe we've squared away any expectations, or lack there of, at this point. I'll just see where it goes, and we'll both take what we want and need out of this, for as long as it works. Most of my relationships have become heavy long term relationships and some too quickly. I am older and wiser now.

My nanny is doing wonderfully with the kids. She had to really jump in, because I am working two jobs right now. I had planned to do this very temporarily, but I may need to do it a little longer than I thought. It seems everything is breaking, and I'm incurring some unexpected expenses. It's okay, I'm tackling one thing at a time. I am going on vacation in early August (with kids and nanny in tow), and I want everything taken care of before we leave.

My garden is growing well. It has been very hot here the last week, and I need to water the precious babies often. I do hope everything has time to come to fruition. We don't have frost until mid October I believe, so I have my fingers crossed. The watering sometimes becomes my nanny's responsibility too. I did a double shift last week and she had to take care of it. She takes on the responsibility with a smile. She seems as excited about the garden as I am.

Believe it or not, I am having an even more difficult time posting here. My computer sits in the loft, that overlooks the family room. You can see the screen from the couch, where you would watch tv. This is where she often likes to hang out, when things settle down in the evenings. This is often when I am home and have time to post. I find this part frusterating. I sometimes can post short things from my phone, but posting anything longer, is a PIA. I don't have anywhere I can move my computer at the moment, and she likes to use it for facebook, or whatever. I will need to buy a laptop, so I can work in my bedroom at night. I just don't want to buy anything else right now. Although, there are probably some inexpensive ones. I haven't even looked. I am letting her sleep in this morning. This allows me to write a lengthy catch up post. :H

Rudy, I have not made her guacamole yet, but I will. We often eat avocados plain with some salt and pepper. I did make a dish with black beans and it turns out she likes some beans after all. She had never tried black beans, I guess. The dish was spicy and she still liked it. The barley salad sounds delicious, and I read when you mentioned it on your thread. Speaking of, I haven't lurked in a good two days. How much have I missed on yours?

Bruun, I am happy to see you are out and about. I too chuckled about the losers. We've all been there sister.

I have made it up to 140 mg. I am doing well, and may start to go up a little faster. By 20 mg a week instead of 10. There is of course a reason for this. I will try to post on the reason tomorrow, before she wakes up.

I'm off. I need to wake up Karen. We have a busy day planned for the holiday.

xxoo

happy holiday, red!

space-invasion is a pain, even if it is a huge help, like w your nanny karen. set limits w her re: time on the computer and space-taking in that room. tell her like a stern mother hen: 'now listen, dear, i know you're not in oklahoma anymore, but this is not cyber haven! i need my computer time, too'. okay, just joshing. sort of. can't you just kick her off/out. it's your home still. i feel your frustration, seeing the screen only short leaps up, and not being able to make use of it. i'd go nuts!

you haven't missed much on my thread. just a lot of row row row your boat, and ain't life grand?! and still wishing to kick the cigs habit. like w booze, i don't even want to do it most times, but i do it anyway. habit seems to die hardest.

good luck w the dudes, but it's clear that you don't even need them right now. there's so much to be said for adult (male) companionship, however. i have lots of it in my life and i love it. and i think i've made it pretty darn clear to them that i don't want to sleep w them, so i've got a good thing in that department. men can be so cool and soulful and easy to be around. i love men!

sorry about everything breaking. as you know, that has been a serious theme in my life: broken boiler, furnace, washer, dryer, water filter (the new one still aint quite right, weeks later), cell phone, car light. and i've considered a second lap top, too, but dismissed it as i DON"T want my son on the screens any more! guess i'll just have to taper my own screen habit and do more crafting! (the other day we painted rocks! they'll be so lovely in the gardens.)

gotta love those smiley helpers! sounds like karen is a real good sport. good for you! i've got plenty lined up for the summer and what a RELIEF! i went crazy last wk w no camp and too-few playdates for my son. now he's w dad for 3 days and my feet are UP!

sunny day, all!

Glad you popped in Red! Was wondering how you were getting along! Sounds like Karen has been a huge help to you and you could go a long way in shaping her new tastes in foods!

Do keep us updated when you can!

Hi everyone on Red's thread, just felt like saying HELLO and I hope everyone is doing better today than yesterday. For the moment, I am. Red sounds like you're crazy busy! How about one of those $200 cheapo laptops for your nanny, then password protect your own pc. The cheapo things are just for web browsing and email although I hear they suck at playing any media.

That's a heady rate of titration RedH. Great stuff!
