You just have no idea how much Miles has hurt me and not having you guys as my friends,is killing me. And I NEVER, EVER told Miles who to be friends with..ever..I pointed out an ugly truth, not mine, and I got blocked, painful, so painful. I didn't do anything wrong, and Im the abused one here.

It was neat here in the states, to witness three kids from Oz, make such a huge splash.. the talent those boys had, good songwriters, too bad they don't speak anymore, even to just enjoy the past and what they accomplished..

Yes.. heroin is a helluva drug. I've no idea how he even managed one concert on that crap. But it took its toll, though he's clean now (supposedly), the damage already done, I was lucky to see him with Plant in 94, great concert.

Learned this the week it came out..moved by the guitar work..the chording..obviously. And tone. And of course the vocals and lyrics. These guys are great for kids.. (good for most adults too) (I always hated when people said that about me when I was 16 trying to play at bars..)

I have ties to Florida as well.. Grandparents lived in Boca for 40 ys (both passed some years ago, a few aunts and uncles still live there). Welcome to Illinois and, hope you enjoy the slightly cooler climate. Its nice in the fall. If you want scenic, the Ottawa area with Starved Rock is nice.

RIP Rosalynn Carter First, first lady I remember as a child. I was born during the Nixon mess, but dont remember either him or Ford. Rosalynn seemed like a nice, though very religious, person.

Aun Jer isnt just right, but brilliantly right🌞 I had it in mind for weeks to do that before my episode, too, but in the end procrastinated my way into having to "wing it" which I really wish I didnt do.. Some kinda summary or at least skeletal outline is a great idea.. only helpful.

Id love to twist your arm..i was nervous too and thought id have no good story,,, but it went great because Mikey and Neil are so easy to talk to and have done over 500 shows..so they know how to make it move... I did ask Brian..cant remember what his reason was..maybe he was an atheist since birth?

forgive me for asking if i already did.. do you have a deconversion story to tell on neils show (the way allison/miles did months back)? im going on neils show tonight and will pass your name along if you are interested.. and remember, it helps others out of their nightmares to hear our stories..

Agreed, its always practice. If youre not practicin, youre practicin, to be most incredibly redundant. I have not yet seen the Beckham doc, but do have Netflix, so with your recommendation, will be checking it out. I like your last point, him bein a tradesman if it werent for practice..so true.

my hope is that things work out for us both. or if not for me.. id love a poetic ending.. it is a fact that people die of broken hearts and i cant imagine a more fitting close to this stupid chapter than that..i guess but itd be cool if we both came out of our (separate) miseries.. and were happy😞

Very kind and helpful your words and warnings are.. I do worry about losing a bit of myself insofar as any change (like trust), but i also worry that even if I find love again it will never hold a candle to what I once had.. and Ill never really stop missing my son, I guess. I do thank you Zombified

thank you as well for your kindness, its helpful to know others have struggled through this too.. i feel like i should just be able to move on, but there is a kid (son) involved as well, so moving on isnt really possible in the same way you would from an ex i do appreciate your words, friend peace

Prude's just short for prudent..which is a marvy and groovy quality as far as I can tell. Again, I thank you kind madame and heartily agree, it's nice to have virtual friends on this newish site, always better than the opposite. Trolls and bots on Eloon's dying bird site. Thank you, nueva amiga.♥️

I guess I just take everybody at face value and so your words seemed genuine, kind and caring. I thank you for your bday message and heartfelt apology, its not necessary and was more probably not fair of me, to share, in a public way. I thank you, sincerely, jove, Im glad to have you as a friend.

Youre adorable and quite funny to boot, nice alt text, and too kind of you for the giggle and debauched sweet brevity and general warmth for a stranger. As far as wanking, a gentleman never tells his pinup shes his pinup, unless I guess youre at that adult themed vegas conference thingy, then maybe🙂

our boy is 15, 16 in jan. he was her son from a previous marriage, i was "pops", for 12 great years. im not ending anything, too scared of messing that up and living with a worse situation. i have a psychiatrist, and hes aware of my situation, and i guess its called passive ideation (?).
