> Well...thank you Kath...and boy, I seem to always get so lucky and so many compliments when I whine and complain..:-) Kind-of like I said in my other post, my problem seems to stem from 'on line' dating (as opposed to first meeting in 'real life'..etc.). Contrary to what I post(Mr. Drama King, here..heh) , I have had a few very good romantic relationships. It's just when the anxiety and depression really reared their head (and they had good reason to do so...as I lost the two most important people in my life to me) and anx. and dep. decided to take up permanent space in my excuse-for-a-brain, I never really 'rebounded back'. It's been 10 years this summer (lots of very teary nights..and whimpering to sleep..but, what else am I to expect?).
>>>>>>>>>With what you've been through, I really admire that you're forging ahead. Esp with anx & dep.
Yeah - I think real-life is the way to go as opposed to online, mind you my 31 year old daughter (who has environmental illness & is VERY limited as to exposure in the 'outside world' wondered how in he** she was ever going to meet someone. She & her now 'almost fiance' (there's a ring which has been glimpsed but not yet put on the finger!) met on an online dating site!!
I know some folks who met their mates online. But if it's not working - why bother. Sounds more stressful than not. & ALSO - now you've had that neat Chapters experience, real-life might be looking more promising!!!>>>>>
> BUT...maybe I've got to come out from under-the-covers. heh. I am going away to a cottage down in Grand Bend, on Lake Huron on Friday, so I will have a nice week of beautiful beaches, sun, and fresh clean water.>>>>>>>>>We'll be so close!!!!!! Hubby, son & I are going to be at The Pinery!!! Your memories of your youth at the Pinery are touching. Those times, I think, are pretty special & will never be repeated in the same way.>>>>>>>
Funny too..because it was there, at 'The Pinery' Provincial Park, that I "first fell in love" (well, more like puppy-love) at age 14...about <gulp!>..23 years ago..lol. Her name was Jennifer, she was from Michigan, and she had the pretty blonde hair that 14 year old boys get all wound up about. Even though I was fairly shallow like most kids my age, I didn't really have much care in the world. I played 80's big-hair love rock ballads on my 'ghetto blaster' (REO Speedwagon , Night Ranger, anyone?..lol)

> So, for your visual pleasure, check out this sunset, and some of the neat little towns and communities on Lake Huron. http://www.sunsets.com/communities.php Maybe I can recapture a tiny bit of that '14 year old' spirit again. The boy inside the man? hmmm..

> Jay>>>>>>>>pretty sunsets!!! I hope we experience quite a few of them next week! I love the sunsets over the water at the Pinery. Last year while we were there, my husband had a terrible gall bladder attack & spent 4 days in Exeter hospital! Not a nice memory! I'm a little edgy as to how my son will do. He won't have the computer to make music on as he did at the cottage. Also a couple of years ago he & his GF (who left him) were there together. I'm afraid it's going to drege up sadness! On the other hand, we've gone there for YEARS & he has many happy memories there. I am somewhat nervous though. I get so "bent out of shape" if he's feeling crappy!!!! Try not to, but it's hard.
Anyway, I hope you have a great time!!!
:-))))))) Kath
