That and my good looks.

Can't you see it in my av, that look of admiration in her face?

Oh yes, very much so!

 

[midwestyankee]

Oh yes, very much so!

Now if only I had a fraction of Mr. Tracy's charm and good looks.

Then I could look for my own special Kate.

You are never gonna guess who called me last night?? ....James ! Seems like he got all' lonely' and wanted to apologize ..yet told me that it was My Bi-polar disease that really messed him up.( everyone has UPS and Downs).LMFAO ..I told him I only wanna be friends cause I cant be someone That I am not..Not for Him ,or any man ..I can only be me ..He asked if I missed him?? I was like what do ya think?? he said ,I dont know...so ya know that kinda said it all..besides he couldnt realy be in LOVE with me without spending real quality time on the outside with me...and I am just starting to get close again with Brian ,so I am not letting anyone or anything ruin that...MY CHOICE...My life..

I wont lie and say I still dont love James, cause I do, alot ..however I feel like twice burned , etc ...I have learned alot and especially that I dont like to be hurt or used by ANYONE...I told James that my $$ and time are now dedicated to my son,as it should've been all along ..

He asked why I didnt come Visit ,I told him cause I didnt feel like it after how you treated me on the phone and now I know we are better off as just friends...He said I am a wonderful woman and either he meant that ..Or ..it was a sick ploy to get back in my heart...regardless I am taking my days 1 at a time and I am gonna let James figure out what he really wants in life...I have enough on my plate so to speak...I am gonna take some time for ME ..Volunteering at the Hospital ,doing my physical therapy and going back to college in the fall

I have a new, and very simple, partial definition for your consideration.

The state of love is one in which mutual hopefulness gives two people fuel to build their future together despite known risks.

Hi, Kayte. Good to see you here.

Thanks for the compliment. Still, it's only a very partial definition as this says absolutely nothing about the actions of love. However, it does say something about what might motivate those actions.

But Yank...

Wouldn't that be more of a consequence of love than definitive of love?

Sorry, you know I can't help but tweak your feathers from time to time

Reminds me of an old joke:

Q. Why did the duck cross the road? A. She was in love with the chicken.

It was when my daughter was 11. Are you dissing my daughter?

*ouch*
Of course not! I'm sure it simply lost something in the delivery.

Actually, the delivery went just fine; I was standing right there.

Of course, she looked awfully wrinkly and red....

You know Yank.....if you keep taking this thread off topic, the host is going to be quite irritated with you.

I'm really not surprised he called, however, I am very happy that you are thinking about yourself and your son first. I'm glad you are taking the time for yourself!

Ok Yankster, hold onto your keyboard. This is a real, live, smartass-less post to follow........

I realize that I gave you some crap in other threads lately but I do want you to know that under my smartass hat, I do have a heart and I do count you among the Litsters I hold dear.

What better place for me to share my joy for you than in your thread devoted to love and its many definitions? Although I have always enjoyed debating theories with you here, I now have a much clearer understanding of where so many of your wise thoughts have come from.

Happiness is an elusive thing; you must grab onto it when you have the chance because you never know how enduring or how fleeting it may be. I wish you nothing but many moments of happiness in the future with your beloved. Your happiness makes me smile.

(But I'm still a little miffed that I had to stalk you to find out and you wouldn't cop to it even when cornered. AND, I hope this doesn't mean you expect me to stop shamelessly flirting with you or berating you for bad puns.....some things I just can't do!)

Sorry, I just can't seem to help myself
