Wow! A girl gets busy and misses some time on the board, then goes away for a week with no computer, and what does she find? A whole gaggle of new names and postings full of newbies up and coming, folks learning about OLD, being able to give advice to the other newbies, and lots of good news.
I hope everyone is doing well!! I am still cleaning up my tea from reading what "LG" actually stands for and spitting it out through my nose. Trying to catch up on the posts, but I don't know if I will be able to...you guys have been busy!
My update for OLD progress is short but sweet. Sailboy/Golfboy (E) is still in the picture. We have only had 2 dates, but are planning to have dinner tomorrow night. Between being 1 1/2 hours apart and both having weird schedules it has been a challenge to get together, but I also like this taking is slow thing....weeks between dates is fine for me right now. We do keep in contact most days though. He even reached out while I was away this week (via text msg) to see how things were going and say hi. I have mentioned his sense of humor before and I still laugh a lot in our conversations (phone/im). We joked about the "3rd date rule" for putting out, which is sort of funny since we have only had a brief, chaste goodbye kiss once! He knows that just isn't on the agenda!!
Had emails from 2 other guys when I got back on Sunday. Both have nice photos and profiles...for whatever that is worth. I emailed both of them back and have already heard back from one of them. That guy seems to have a lot of things in common with me, my past travel and living experiences, has a dog JUST LIKE MINE, and also a nice tone to his emails. We'll see where those two head...
ALSO!!! OMG!! The guy that I got all bent out of shape about in Dec. who sent me the "I am persuing another relationship" email after we had spent all this (hehheh) MEANINGFUL time talking on line and SHARING all our thoughts on life and feelings (gack, puke, yes I know better NOW!!!!) after one date has been nosing around since that relationship has ended. Because I feel fairly secure and confident as well as much more knowledgeable about OLD now I have exchanged a few emails with him, just for s & g's. He can tell that I am not the innocent little bippy I used to be.
So well wishes and hugs to everyone. Glad to see the new and old names in the posts!

Hey X,
Welcome back and I'm glad to hear you've got some prospects. The place wasn't quite the same without you. I love your wicked sense of humor.... :-)
TT
You guys are killing me with all these initials!!
What is "s & g's"???
Sounds like you're having fun with your sailor boy! Good for you.
S&G= um... "poops" and grins. I think you know what I mean. ;)
amjay...you have to come down outta the snow.
Oh, wait! No good....I have more snow here in Maine then you probably do in Canada. UGH!
Something very weird is going on with my Match karma, juju, whatever you want to call it. In addition to the 3 guys I am now emailing with (one of them is sailboy, whom I have gone on two dates with so far)...I also winked at someone the other day and they winked back and emailed me!!! I feel like I just joined or someting, but without the newbie jitters and expectations.
Feh...it won't last I am sure, but this is (heehee) kind of (hahaha) FUN!
Lose the expectations and enjoy the conversation. That's my motto!
Good for you! It is nice when that mojo turns, isn't it? Woo hoo for xrivergirl!
It's good to see you back and upbeat about everything that is going on!
Thanks, Vex!
I do feel better these last couple of weeks. I had bad Winter juju going on for a little while (plus, having real depression never helps in the Winter, even with meds!!!) Focusing on buying my new business and spending last weeek in Jackson Hole, WY to ski/snowboard sure has helped me put lots of things into perspective...not just OLD.
And...despite all the snow...Spring is coming and then follows SUMMER. That's enough to make anyone be able to hang on by thier fingernails.
Holy crap...I am being waaaaaayyyyyy to happy and flowery. Better get a creepy wink from some old guy real soon. LOL!
That's hilarious. Nah, you don't need a nasty wink. Just ride the high for a while. It is nice to have a few good things going on - I have a couple promising prospects too so I am hoping those go well.
Good luck with the business - that sounds exciting and scary all at the same time. What is it if you don't mind me asking?
Well, we HAD summer here in Dallas on Saturday. It was beautiful - 85 degrees and sunny! I wore shorts and a tank top it was so hot. Now winter is back. There is a slight chance of snow mixed with the rain tonight and in Dallas, snow mixed with rain at any time of the year much less in March means it is winter! Brrr.
