NewBeginnings2018 81 Posted August 27, 2007 One thing I do know is this, you seem to do the right things. I take from your posts that you are a very effective communicator, I think a lot of people would have tried to "fix" the issue you are having instead of talking it out. I hope he recognizes and appreciates this strength of yours. JC Thanks JC, I really do try to commicate the best I can, probably much to the dismay of the men I date. lol. If I've learned nothing else I've learned that you cannot change anyone. All I can do is tell them what's going on with me, and give them the opportunity to choose to do something about it. If there's a problem and they choose to do nothing towards fixing it, well then goodbye. I'm too old to play games with relationships. And it would be nice to find someone who truly did appreciate me...for anything! lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcgrove29 0 Posted August 27, 2007 Well I can tell you this straight out, I admire your strength. I wish more people were like you. There would be a lot less BS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcgrove29 0 Posted August 27, 2007 Good Morning everyone. I started my Monday with the longest distance yet using the Kangoo jump boots. I made it a mile in those things they are just too cool. They are a bit noisy so I had a few barking dogs out there, but luckily they were all inside fences. 1 week and 2 days away from surgery. JC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewBeginnings2018 81 Posted August 27, 2007 JC those boots sound so cool. I bet people are wondering what the hell you are doing out there. lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcgrove29 0 Posted August 27, 2007 Chrispy, they probably are wondering. My biggest concern is I may be recognized by some of the good ol boys and get kicked out of town! LOL JC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leona06 0 Posted August 27, 2007 haha JC- sounds like you're having a blast... good luck with your surgery- you'll do great! So, I'm back in NYC... trying this long-distance thing... but its just weird right now- we are gonna see each other on sept 15th so its not too long gone, but still... if this gets too emotionally draining, I'm gonna have to find someone local!

marcar35 0 Posted August 27, 2007 JC - went online and looked at the kangoos. How in the world do you run in those? I bet people take second looks when you 'hop' by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted August 28, 2007 JC, have you found out whether or not your surgery is going to be covered by insurance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcgrove29 0 Posted August 28, 2007 Yes Leona, I am probably having too much fun! LOL I never thought my idea of fun would have anything to do with running! Marcar, They are suprisingly easy, It actually takes about three four minutes to be ready to rock on with those bad boys and they are so much nicer on the joints! There are even Kangoorobics classes out there. Denise I didn't call today. I will try to fnd out tomorrow. Are you back at home? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dibaby 0 Posted August 28, 2007 Is it pathetic when a guy puts a video game before you? Honestly..I'm a gamer...so I understand that games can consume you. But I always know what my priorities are in life..and a game is not gonna be a priority over someone I'm interested in. This was a problem before with this guy..and i thought he changed..since he kept on saying he did. What a waste of time..again..lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcgrove29 0 Posted August 28, 2007 Dibaby, there is an old saying that goes something like: just because a leopard hides his spots it doesn't make him any less of a leopard. I lost a great friend to online gaming. When I try to visit he wants me to logon to a spare computer in order to chat with him. IN THE SAME ROOM!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted August 28, 2007 JC, Yea, I am back. Back to work, back the the cold summer.......But I guess the best part of it is that when it was 115 outside, all I thought about was ice cream! I am back to trying really hard with my band. I get a fill next week. I managed to break my big long plateau by putting myself back on the liquid diet. I actually ate properly today and I better not show a gain or I will be on P.O.ed bandster.

jcgrove29 0 Posted August 28, 2007 Denise, I had fallen into the trap of weighing myself every morning. I have almost killed my self with exercise because of the roller coaster I am on. The weight has gone up a little but the clothes are looser and I am feeling more bones and seeing more veins. I almost feel like I am mistaking loose skin for fat. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like telling him I hope the game gives ya a good bj too..LOL...bad me..LOL The sad thing is I had this guy out of my life for a long time..and he begged me...BEGGED for another chance..and then the same crap happens..LOL..so ridiculous I think I'm gonna be single forever..LOL..I'm just keep saying over and over in my head that I don't need a man to be happy in my life.

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted August 28, 2007 I have been telling myself that for such a long time. I wish I really could be happy without a man in my life, but the reality of it is, I still hold out hope for a fulfilling relationship. BTW, where do you live in Chicago. I grew up there.
