I think we need to get this thread going again

OK, guys and gals...what's your absolute favorite place to go in the state? I know it's a broad question, but it's not so hard.....depending on whether you like being alone or being with other people, and whether you like to party or relax, it should be pretty easy.

Currently, I think my favorite place is my room, but that's only because I missed it for so many months while I was out in Boston. In general, it would have to be the Caribou Coffee near my house. I have had many good times there with friends, studying for finals, reading poetry, or just chatting. Lots of my best memories are of us acting silly there, so it's still the place that makes me the happiest.

OK, guys, your turn......and I better see some posts soon, or you're all getting spankings next time I see you! (or maybe I should threaten to NOT give you spankings....seems some of you may like that sort of thing )

Hope you are all enjoying your week. Smile

Favorite Places

Oooh, I love "Uncommon Grounds", though I've only been there once. And I'm also a Caribou Coffee fan. I'm definitely buying a couple bags of beans before I move back east.

But if we're talking all of Minnesota, I'd have to say Itasca. Best camping and hiking in the state, if you ask me.

-dizzy, who is slaving away on her next story

I love Itasca.....didn't think of that I have memories of wading in water up to my waist there when I was little....

 

[TranceAnGeL01]

the other places that i used to go to was Down to Lake Calhoun and just walk around there on nice sunny days.... it was always fun...

 

[Tongueflicker]

Hmmm...best place in the state, huh? Is "deep within the recesses of my imagination" a cop out answer?
Well...Gooseberry State Park is nice (right under the waterfall). Anywhere, actually, along the north shore during autumn is beautiful, watching the leaves change.
Or at work in Lake Elmo, walking out onto the golf course in the middle of the night, no lights anywhere, not a soul around...just to lay out and gaze up at the stars.

*shrugs* Just weird lil old me, I guess...

-TF-

 

[KeraniLuna]

Aww, that's not weird......sounds nice

I have many favorite places......if you'd asked me while I still rode horses, I would have said the barn was my favorite, or one of the show grounds.....the parks near my house, the lake shore in Duluth, Taylors Falls....lots of very beautiful places

forest

I think there are some beautiful state parks in SE Minnesota. Whitewater has some great hiking if you get away from the families in their motor homes. And, best of all, there's no mosquitos down there for some reason.
Chippewa National Forest is amazing as well. I enjoy getting up there a couple of times a year and getting lost.
Just moved out of Minneapolis to SW suburb and already missing it.

 

[Salacious]

Welcome...signs!

Happy Memorial Day, all........I, for one, am celebrating with some tequila in my lemonade......yeah, it's not my drink of choice, but when you're underage you can't always choose

Hope you all are well, and enjoying your holiday weekend. Cheers!!

I have a weird question/situation going on, and I'm wondering if anyone can help.

I'm theoretically involved with a girl who has DID (Dissociative Identity Disoder), but the ones I'm "with" have been stuck "inside" for about 2 years now. I've been trying to keep things together, but for the last several months, things have been getting worse at an astonishing rate. Now they've decided (under the leadership of a militant lesbian who would rather admit to having been involved with their rapist ex-husband than Me -- I've never hurt them, so I'm not an example of how evil all men are) that picking fights with Me is the Great New Game, and start crying or making threats if I say anything back. I'm also expected to drop everything any time one of them has a problem, but if I come to them with any problems, the militant lesbian burns Me a new asshole for having the gall to come to them and trying to give them guilt trips. This is getting REAL old, REAL fast. I promised the ones I'm with I wouldn't let the others drive Me off, but I don't know how much more of this bullshit I can take. They've already got Me halfway to a hospital visit at this point, but they obviously don't care.

A few weeks ago, a friend I met in the psycho ward (seriously) proposed to Me. She's smart, funny, nice to Me, capable of holding a real conversation, and has all the prerequisite physical features for the caveman in Me. The only problem is, she only seems half-serious about her proposal, and seems like she's not ready to be involved with someone right now (her last bf was a real piece of work).

So now I don't know what to do. Do I leave the abusive nutcase for someone who might not even be capable of a relationship right now, or do I stay with someone who treats Me like shit?

I would do neither.....I'm not a psychiatrist, but I know (from personal experience) that getting involved with someone who has as many or more issues than you do is not good. My advice would be to not date either of them. Do NOT stay in an abusive relationship, and don't get involved with someone who is not ready to be involved with you. That's all I can say.

 

[SnoManX]

Sorry to butt into the LarzMachine - just saying "hey" from the Fargo/Moorhead area. Anyone else from up here?

 

[KeraniLuna]

As far as I know, there isn't anyone on this thread that far north......but welcome anyway, I hope you'll stick around

The furthest north I usually go is Breckenridge/Wahpeton.....where my great aunt lived.

I'm EXHAUSTED.....good night all!

LarzMachine,

Well I am not an expert, nor do I play one on tv, but I think you are not looking at all the possible options... it seems you only see two options here. In reality there are many more.

I agree with Keraniluna that is it not good to remain in an abusive relationship, no matter what your feelings may be for this person or one of her identities.

As for jumping out of the kettle and into the frying pan with another that may not be ready nor stable, I think I'd pass.

Wouldn't a break of "freedom" feel good for a bit... time to clear your mind, ease your spirit and decide what it is you are seeking.

It seems today people date once and feel they are in a relationship...I think it would be a good thing to do a bit of sampling... meet a variety of people and find out more... then if things feel right... you can hop into the skillet. I think you need some time to clear you mind and heal.

Oh well Sal point of view...for what it's worth.

LarzMachine,

Not really. I'm not one of those people who has a lot of options for a Friday of Saturday night -- examples: Friday I spent a good hour poking My pet rat with a dry spaghetti noodle (don't worry, she enjoys it and I let her eat the noodle afterward) and Saturday I dumped the abusive one (finally) and slept like 20 hours. Aside from the ditching the abusive gf, this was a fairly typical weekend.

See above. I finally left her. Yes, it got ugly.

I've done the "freedom" thing. After a few years, it gets REALLY old, and since not too many people are willing to get anywhere near Me, it'll probably be several years again. I can't do that agan. All the freedom in the word doesn't do any good if I wind up shooting Myself.
