Sea and any in the path of the storm...

Take care and be safe!

It's not good for me to talk when I am depressed but I wanted to let you all know that  my first date with the new woman I met was also the last, she has canceled 2 times on our second date. And tonight, not even a call. So I think she is not interested. Take care all, I am still here, just not talking much.

          I wouldn't give up quite yet. Give her a week or two then try again.If she wasn't interested she never would have agreed to a second date in the first place. Maybe she's been busy and maybe she's playing hard to get. Maybe she's trying to find out how desperate you are.Some women are like that. I'd give her a few days then try calling her.Remember you want to look interested but not desperate.Keep your chin up! The fact that she hasn't called may not have anything to do with  you at all.

We all probally been in the same spot you have been. We all wanted to give up, but we are still here. It sounds like a fresh break up. You are going to be down for awhile. Especially if you guys where together for a while. I know how you feel when you say you gave up everything, I did do the same thing for a guy on the internet. I moved to another state to be with him, left my family and dearest friends. When he told me he wanted a divorce, I was screwed! I have no family to run to, no friends that I felt safe enough to be with even. I felt like the best place to be was at work. I couldn't even move back to my family cause 5 months before he told me he wanted a divorce, I just bought a house in my name and my dad co-signed. I tried to even sell the house, I couldn't get enough to break even. So I stayed and delt through whatever I was going to go through. God gave me the power thoe to get through it. It took awhile.  I still have the house and starting to make it feel more like mine. So my point is hang in there let god do his job to help you get through whatever you are going through. It will turn out all for the best. We are here to listen if you want us to and try to help you through whatever we can. Everyone here is very nice and helpful. It's one big family! :)

Drunk call lol

It never fails, when a friend/ ex-coworker gets drunk he calls me. What is up with that!!!!????? That is pretty much when I hear from him. LMAO... He was a hottie at work OMG! I had a crush on him, and I actaully got the balls to tell him. We both knew we couldn't date cause he was a supervisor. Which that is a big no no where I work, if you want to keep your job. He was down oneday cause of a friend that passed away. So I gave him my number and was like if you need someone to talk to feel free to. We joked around at work alot, got along like we should with being co workers. What I told him didn't put a damper on things, we just act like nothing was ever said to that fact. He use to work the same shift as me. He would go home have a few beers and call me. Pretty well went on everyday. Then they changed his shift to days, well that made it rough. He would still call and we play phone tag. Then of course he lost his job for reassons. Which then I got to thinking hmmmmm should I ask him out? I didn't even try to push that issue. We played phone tag alot. When we would catch each other he be like let's go to a movie someday blah blah blah. I was like fine. Needless to say I haven't went yet! Just had that wonderful call. He wants to go see the batman movie. Of course I said np. He is also having alot of problems with his son who lives in another state with his mother. I know he is calling for help or just someone to listen. Then he asked me if I was seeing anyone of course I said no cause I'm not. I can tell thoe he's been drinking. But I do have to say he doesn't forget what I have told him, from our other chats. His work hours are worse then mine. He would go in like 2pm-10pm then have to go back in at 7am work till 4pm, then have to go back in at like 4am till whatever. With my hours we could never get anything to work, I don't think. It is funny thoe everytime he calls and I see its him I get all excited, I guess I still have that crush on him! LMAO. Yes he does like his booze but it makes him more depressed, and im not the one to tell him that, he needs to realize that. I can just be there when he calls :).

I second what itsme62 said to Ed...

I tour realtor.com a lot to see if i see homes I like in places I like like where I spent some pre-teen years of my life in Tulsa. The house below is nearby all my favorite childhood places: Utica Square, Swan Lake, Peoria and Utica streets, not far from my dad's childhood home. Not far from my grandma's I visited in summer.

House not far from University of Tulsa, about same distance as my house in Norman was to University of Oklahoma, and 2 blocks from Hillcrest Hospital where both my brothers born. That makes two very good places to work within walking distance. I loved working at a university. I LOVE the house below too "and" area... I prefer my home town yet prices there over double and not as nice of property even then. However, my home town recently rated sixth best place to live in USA.

To access this page directly, use http://www.realtor.com/realestate/tulsa-ok-74104-1100567692/

Totally renovated, place for stackable washer/dryer and on a nice street. Beautiful french doors to a nice area in back. Small so utilities wouldn't be much. Property taxes under $400 a year. Location and sentimental reason wise I think I like even better than 1003 W. Ash in Duncan, OK. I have more fond memories in Tulsa, than in Duncan. Tulsa, OK isn't far from where Dr. Phil was born in Vinita. I've wondered if Dr. Phil's dad was ever my dad's doctor because my dad went to VA Hospital in Vinita, OK. when we lived in Tulsa, I think. My dad grew up in Tulsa, OK. I wish realtor would email me that owners were philanthropists and decided to just give the house to me. Then, I'd have plenty of start up funds to relocate.

Yesterday, the pollution so bad in Dallas, it was hazy and another orange unsafe air day. Power overload and power went out for three hours. Tulsa is about 75% smaller than Dallas, and a beautiful City since in Eastern greener part of Oklahoma hill country.

I'm surprised your doctor didn't give you a sling to wear. Use to, people made home made versions of slings with a pillow case yet CoJo would probably go into fashion no...no convulsions if he ran into you doing that... Or Denise might, too, seeing you were. I look at it as whatever works works.

it does sound like former supervisor may be exhibiting why he was let go since he calls you drunk. Cuteness is fleets real fast when someone keeps disturbing your sleep with fallout from drinking from late calls to worse... I hope he gets a handle on his life...

OMG! New Batman beat up his mother and sister. First said physically and verbally yet now news says only verbally. IDK yet a PR nightmare I heard. I think people will still go to see the movie yet rather sad that all our "heros" from Presidents to Batman can be scoundrels aka set very poor examples.

Well, duty calls as Lynn just filled up a laundry basket for me to wash of his clothes. So I better hop to. I sort of miss having my own home and a nice job that got more respect and where I felt more respect for myself. It sort of hurts my feelings when persons act like what i do here so insignificant. Makes me not want to do and wish I still had my own place and nice job at OU. Oddest thing is I know helps to have someone do the domestic things around the house or else everyone would be fighting over who gets to do, since so highly respected, instead of who has to do. Some were born with a silver spoon in their mouth and others, like me, aka Cindyrella, were born with a toilet brush in their hand and it didn't come with a pair of glass slippers either. LOLz

Lets all plan on a GREAT day. May every day of our lives be sprinkled with blessings and miracles that bless us abundantly, in the best possible ways, always... SEA
