  1. Looks like you have already received lots of great advice. I will just offer my hopes that you soon are feeling much much better. Rest and take care of yourself.
  2. Usually if I am gonna come down with a stomach virus it tends to be between 24- 36 hours after exposure.
  3. My Doc urges me to quit smoking each time I am in for my yearly physical. Right now I take meds for borderline high BP, but he says if I quit smoking that it is very likely I can come off the BP meds. I have lost 20 pounds and that has helped the BP to an extent but the stopping smoking is probably the main key at this point. I am finding it very hard to stop this time. I have quit in the past with no problem but right now it seems very difficult. The darn cigs dont even taste good to me anymore, but I find myself continuing to light up. ](*,) I have this feeling also that if I quit smoking that I will gain the 20 lbs back , plus some.
  4. We had been dating for two years, when I was proposed to. I was 15 and he was 17 when we started dating. When I was 17 and he was 19 ,he proposed. We were married at year later at age 18 and 20. It lasted for almost 28 years, and very happily until my husbands death three years ago at age 48.
  5. I say why not just take a chance and talk to him. You say that he is single and if you know for a fact that he isn't seeing someone , then I would certainly go for it. Strike up a bit of conversation with him , see if he shows any interest, and if so then maybe ask him if he would like to go out and do something sometime. You will never know unless you take a chance on it and see what happens.
  6. I agree with the others that have said that it all depends on what someone is looking for. Some people are there just for " hook ups" and one night stands for sex. Many are there for truly finding a partner or mate. I have briefly done the on line date sites , and made some friends there, but never really connected with any of them. I do have a family member that met the lady that is now his wife on eHarmony. They were matched up there and it worked out wonderfully . They married and now have a 6 month old baby son. I know of a few friends that had horrible experiences trying to find people that were not just there for the sex. So I guess it could go either way as far as why many people are on line singles sites.
  7. I am in agreement with Annie. It seems this guy possibly fed you a line of things about himself that were not true. You have already proved him of lying on certain things already. I would be very leery of him if I were you. If you are getting " that feeling" as you described it, then maybe that is your " gut" or " inner intuition" trying to tell you something. Personally I tend to follow that gut feeling I get about people. I wouldn't fall for his promises of things to come and if I were you, personally I would not keep seeing this guy. I think you really deserve better for yourself in a relationship than to put your hopes in this man.
  8. I won't see my BF until Friday night. This week we are 100 miles apart, so today or tonight is not an option for getting together. He says we will make up for that this weekend.
  9. My ex was 6'7'' and myself 5'6''. We had no difficulties with the height difference. I don't think you should encounter any major problems with your BF being a foot taller. You may have to work with and experiment with different ways, but that is the fun of it all.
  10. It is definitely easy to become impatient with the wait. I think you are doing the right thing by waiting it out and not contacting him. How long have you two actually been dating and how long has his " think break " been going on?
  11. I love to smell colognes on men. Most of the time its nothing expensive that smells best to me. I love the scent of the Axe* body sprays for men and also the Bod* sprays. I used to love smelling Brut* on my husband ( now deceased) . Everytime I smell it on someone it reminds me of him. I am not sure if many young guys use this,, but I can remember smelling the scent of Old Spice* cologne on my grandfather when I was a small child. It smelled so good. Another one that I like is, Curve* for men, it smells so sexy to me.
  12. I don't think it would matter either way. My son has been set up and introduced to quite a few girls by his guy friends. The girl that he is currently dating was an introduction by one of his guy friends.
  13. I moved out at age 18, back in 1976, when I got married. My daughter is now 25 and moved out at age 18 , when she started college. My son ,now 20 , moved out at age 17 when he graduated high school, and went into the military. They both have remained out on their own and doing quite well for themselves.
  14. I was wondering if you made your CD of songs yet and which ones you ended up using? I see that you are much younger than myself, so my taste in sex/love making songs might be quite a bit different than what you might like. I tend to go for the more sensual/ romantic type songs for making love. I have many that I like but one of my favorites is by Barry White called " Practice What You Preach" . There is a version called ........"Practice What You Preach" (Michael Angelo "Do It" Remix). For some reason that one just seems hot, sexy , and sensual in my opinion...... I might be wrong, but I think that most girls/ women would think so as well. *Link to the audio clip of the song below link removed
  15. My boyfriend and I usually talk on the phone once a day when we are apart. Sometimes the conversations are short , depending on how much happened during the day to talk about. On occasion we will talk briefly during the day and then again later that evening. We don't have a set thing, to where one of us is expected to make the first phone call. He leaves it wide open for me to call at anytime, and I do the same for him. But with working and taking care of daily stuff , we don't have time to stay on the phone a lot. However, if we do miss a day talking, it does feel a bit strange to me, because I care a lot about him and miss him when we are apart. So I like the daily contact by phone. We usually get to see each other in person once or twice a week.
  16. I am just today finding this post about the loss of your pet. I am so very sorry to hear of what happened. I have lost pets in the past, so I can feel the pain not having your pet around anymore. I hope you are doing better with coming to terms with this now. Take care.
  17. I think that the ideas you have going are great. I also agree with the idea of maybe some other flowers besides roses. However, the roses will be nice too , if that is what you decide to give. You could check with your florists about a bright colored spring bouquet of flowers possibly. I think you will do just fine with your plan.
  18. You should find it in most stores near the condoms and lubricants. Some places do keep those type things behind the pharmacy counter. Check most any drug stores for your spermicide, or just ask at the pharmacy counter.
  19. Initially I would probably think that he was not interested in me. But on the other hand, I would possibly assume that he was bothered or preoccupied with something else on his mind. Out of curiosity, I wonder , why do you ask this question. ??
  20. I agree that you should keep NC and not contact him to wish him happy birthday. You have come along great so far with NC, and if I were you I just wouldn't jeopardize the progress you have made the last few weeks. Just keep doing what you are doing and pressing on with your life in a positive way.
  21. I was wondering if you got your MRI results now and how you are doing? What did they diagnose your problem as being? Hope you got some answers and that you are doing well.
  22. Personally I have not tried any type of diet pills, over the counter nor prescription. As much as I need to lose some pounds I have just never gone that route to try to lose it. I knew of a lady that took some type of over the counter diet pills and she ended up dying from complications related to taking the pills. I have heard numerous stories of different complications that people have suffered from both over the counter and prescription diet meds. So my advice would be to steer clear of diet pills of any kind. I don't think I would take the risk.
  23. I can understand you are worried. We all are when we have symptoms going on in our bodies and are waiting for test results. I have read your other threads about your concerns. Many of us know how you feel with having to wait to hear your results. Hopefully tomorrow you will have some answers as to what is going on. You mentioned in your thread title " brain tumor symptoms"........ I am no doctor, so I wouldn't really know what those would be. Not sure if tingling sensations would indicate such, but I would tend to think not. Please let us know how you are doing and what you find out from your MRI results.
  24. I agree that you should NOT mail the letter. Just view it as a healing tool that helped you get your thoughts and feelings out. Even if you have to write more letters to help you get rid of the hurt, then do it, but don't mail any of them.
  25. Hera, I am very sorry for the loss of your husband. I too lost my husband in 2003. So I know first of all how it feels to try and move on after such a loss. I am a bit confused though. Are you trying to get over your husband, to be able to move on with this new guy? OR are you trying to get over the first new guy that you cant really be with for some reason and move on with this second new guy? Your original post was a little vague, so it left a question about exactly who you are trying to get over. It is sounding as though you have gone through your grief process after your husbands death and came to the conclusion you were ready to move on . Then found a new guy... but one that you cant actually be with, but still have feelings for. Somewhere in the process you have met a second new guy, but you cant move on with him due to your feelings for the first new man. Is this correct?
