Re: Yeeeahaaaw
I was on the internet all day. I joined that poker site (pokerstars.net) and have been there a great deal playing cards (Hold'em) nice site and free......
That's all I did, ----sad huh!!!
Re: Yeeeahaaaw
Not really what I wanted to do... nothing else to do. the ex. takes my daugther and granddaugther to the fireworks shows and I just don't feel like intruding into her game. not bitter or anything like that just not interested in that scenario.
Sooo- it was sad. I didn't have much fun, just an alleviation of boredom
Re: Yeeeahaaaw
I think we all enjoy the solitude once in a while and yes beyond any doubt, people as a general rule are just additional pains-in-the-arse. I have grown up being basically aloner, dealing with life by myself and counting only on myself. I learned a very tender age not to trust others, not even other kids, so made very few friends in life and was a lone for most of it. Hence, the developement of my aggressive dominant type personality. Self-reliance is no stranger to me, and in actual fact, pretty much everybody in my life - owes - me, I ask for very little from others but give much to incur the ides that I am a friend you can count on with in the parameters of my standards.
My standards are the usual; No.1 comes first.(only I don't hesitate to put that fact right out in front), I will give of myself readily and even sacrifice if it will make anothers life a little easier, even at some cost to myself with no desire for profit. but if I should happen to come for help, then rest assured, I'll ask and I'll even half-expect the same in return. I most probably will never ask though, don't know to do so graciously, so tend not.lol

Haaaaa!! Eat my blocker you pop-ups!! hee,hee,
Yes, I became self-employed for just that reason, and the fact that others seem to think it's the way of the world to take the credit for my stuff and my work, but don't seem to feel the same way when it comes to my mistakes!!!! hee,hee,hee.
That didn't strike me as a very well balanced situation. Whereas, being self-employed, I take the blame, still, but I get the credit as well, and the credits far outweigh the screwups.
Never-the-less, there are something things, you just can't do alone, and need the occassional pair of helping hands.
And I do enjoy good company upon occassion and a good mate (so to speak) can fill the bill very nicely.
and even a couple of friends are o-kay, as long as they don't expect me to hang with them everyday for hours..
I;m more of the visit and run type friend!!!! Although I have no problem playing some golf for 18 holes (or 9)with friends or strangers!!!lol and camping out for a period of time is great too. Maybe I'm a hypocrit!!

I've never had a problem with getting credit. As long as I know what I did, it's no biggie. I can deal with the blame too. 20 years in the Army sort of makes you numb to that type of stuff.
I do enjoy a visit once in a while, just not everyday. Even with the phone or internet, sometimes I need to take a day or two off. Sort of the main reason I don't have a mate. If I don't call or stop by everyday, they think somethings up, or I'm cheating. If they don't trust me, then it's time to go.
Beyond any doubt, we all need those days away, or off. From the internet, other people, even situations can become greatly improved if we take a day or so off . Then we come back and face the problem (or whatever) and things seem to work better or we find the answer, or probably it just means a fresh look at whatever.
