One of my first thoughts when I read your initial post was "Is this a "Licensed Caregiver?"
If so, as much as I don't like involving Govt in anything I do, that b... sounds like a great candidate for license revocation... just a thought.
Yes. They can be reported to the appropriate agency. Sometimes just the threat of reporting will get them to change their behavior.
 
We do also! It’s in my top five movies for sure. Won a ton of awards, top notch acting, cinematography is off the charts. What’s not to love? I’m so easily led…now I want to watch the movie again! Found your Denys book/s…

OK…that’s the hardcover and for a Buck-0-Seven it better be signed! 😲

This is the one I nabbed and I promise you, it’ll read just like the Cadillac version! 😂

Two other books popped up when I went to retrieve this…one on the relationship between Karen and Denys and the other a focus on the relationship with Beryl Markham. Her book is a good read also, as her life story is little more adventurous than Baroness von Blixen’s…IMO. Have fun going down the Out of Africa rabbit hole!

Tummy was upset all day…took my charcoal which worked too well…🙄. Now I’m scrambling to get ready for work and deal with this issue….😫. It must be Monday…

Let’s go to a happy place…Bonsai MZ

Looks like I'll have some reading to do during the winter!
 
Doing a 24 hour dry fast today, anyone ever do it? Much easier than drinking water.
What is a "dry fast?"

And, you seem new here. Welcome!

We run this thread a little differently.

Read the first post...goes over the "rules" so to speak.

I will summarize:
1. No religion
2. No politics
3. No drama
4. No hitting on the women-- dm the person if interested.... if they don't respond.... there is your answer.

I will add
5. For God sake read a profile before you dm the wrong person.
6. If your first post is heavy on the innuendo ..... you need to slow your roll

This thread is like the bar cheers or the corner coffee shop. We are FRIENDS here and not like other threads...we are fiercely protective of the vibe and each other. If this sounds like a place you would like, stick around.... if not there are eleventy billion other threads that will suit your needs.

To get an idea of the vibe I would scroll through the last 10 pages or so and you will see.
 
Per the first post:

Talk about whatever you want: food, sheds, baby goats, nudist camps. Let’s avoid politics, religion or drama.

And respect one another. This place is built on respect for each other.

This is not a pickup joint. If you’re gonna try to get cyber laid here, you’ve come to the wrong place - or at least build some rapport first.

Order a coffee. A beer. And a nice dessert. Let the barkeep know what’s on your mind.

There shall be no talk of romping or frolicking.”
(Whispers) There might be talk of romping and/or frolicking! 🤣😅🤣
 
I know I haven’t posted much but it’s been a pretty busy time and never seems to stop. Last week was Mums 90 th so we had a great day but it was long with 6hours driving. Worth every moment to celebrate with a wonderful lady.

Friday night we took our junior club members fly fishing to try and get them a fish. It was a great evening with a lovely sunset and the water boiling as caenis hatched and the fish gorged on them.

Yesterday was a significant anniversary for the management and I. So another day of celebrations and now I probably won’t eat for a day or more.

Tonight I am teaching again, this time scouts. We haven’t done this before so hopefully it will be a good few hours with talks on entomology, flytying lessons and teaching them how to cast a fly line.

Throw in dog training, gardening and “stuff” I don’t seem to draw breath

At some point I might get a moment to myself and disappear into the hills with a fly rod.
You've been busy, G! Happy birthday to your Mum! 🥰✨💞
 
I'm elated that you had that time with your mom!
Also, I want to compliment you... if someone is going to be as covered up as you are, you've certainly selected a path of great activities! Kudos for that.

My mom broke her hip yesterday and is having surgery today.
My fly rods and fly tying gear are sitting in storage.
How was your mom's surgery, Boat? 🫂🫂
 
If there's one thing I've learned from Lit it's that honesty is THE most important thing. I mean, it is in general tbh. Especially for me since I find it difficult to read subtext and subterfuge (flirting frightens me :D).

Case in point. I've been chatting with someone for the past 3 weeks. Never expected anything to happen, said so right from the start. But the conversation got hot and heavy to the point where, we, last Sunday were scheduled to meet and have some fun. Now she had said ahead of time that it might not happen for genuine reasons. Well of course that was the case, which is fair enough. She even felt guilty telling me, I reassured her it wasn't her fault, and she said she was still into it. Unequivocally.

Now, two days of strained chats later and I'm asking her if we can discuss another attempt. We both seemed into it. Apparently not. TBH I had felt that something changed from Sunday. The convo, as I said, was strained. You can tell, those of us who chat online, when things change: the replies are a little more formal, a little less frequent.

It's frustrating really. I had said all along she has every right, at any point, to back out and say no. But all last week she was telling me that she wanted to do stuff, had fantasised about it, showed me pics, even asked me for a pic (you know what I mean!), in fact the meeting was her idea. It was amazing; completely unexpected and wonderful. Ok it didn't happen; that's, crushingly, life, right?

I don't think the conversation can really continue at this point. A bit like trying to put the genie back in the bottle. She has every right to refuse to meet and change her mind, but the point I'm trying to make is that you need to be honest. Every step of the way. Or folk get hurt and misunderstand things. Now I feel like I'm the bad guy, and I don't want that. I told her how I feel, and she has not responded since. Well, ok, you don't have to respond to people. That's your right. But honestly, ghosting is never cool. It's sad how things turn out, but again, you've got to be honest. It's shitty to say this, feels a little sexist even, but I feel a bit lead on. I don't know if there's anything else that's in play here; she doesn't have to tell me, but I could sense from Sunday evening that things had changed. Earlier that day, she was saying, "hey write a story about all the things we're going to do to each other, it will be really sexy for me to read." I started but quickly stopped because it felt, without anything having happened and having the meeting cancelled, that it was too intense. I don't think I'll be continuing.

In the immortal words of Jeremiah Springer: take care of yourselves, and each other. :D
I'm sorry that has happened to you, Quim. Do you think, however, you might be giving this person more power over you than she should have? There are nice, decent people here. There are also scoundrels. Maybe try to let the bad ones just melt out of your life and be available for the good ones that will come along. Just a thought. 🫂🫂
