Back At It

Well needless to say it has been quit a week.  My Grandfather passed away and is at peace, so that makes me at peace.  For at least 8 years he has been slowly declining with the things that he enjoyed the most and ultimately was in a nursing home where he could do nothing and gave up.  He was a great man and served our country. He was in Pearl Harbor, was on the Ringness and rescued the survivors from the Indianapolis when it was sunk, he designed Memorial for Pearl Harbor Survivors across the US, he helped with the renovations of the White House and made memorabilia from the original materials from the White House for our family as well as for the actual White House (which remain there today).  He was married to my sweet Grandmother for 63 years (who is still alive). He will be greatly missed and left his mark on my heart as well as stories in the Library of Congress for his time served. 

So I am back on the dating scene.  The Realtor had said that he wanted "to think" about what he wanted after he arrived at my house with Roses and a note that was undecipherable:


So I thought..."well this is a step in the possible right direction, "maybe just maybe this could work".  Maybe he just needed a little shake up and to think about what he wants.  Then he says in text " I got you YELLOW roses because they mean new beginnings"...ummm he left WHITE Roses.  Anyway, it goes to show how little to detail men pay to things.  Well, so as I am thinking that we will maybe give this dating each other thing another thought I look on the dating site (which he had removed himself from when we were seeing each other) and see..

EWWWWW!! Is that a hooker or a stripper??  Either way I am completely disgusted that (1) he has pics and does things like either of those and (2) That he would post it! And on a dating site.  What girl would look at this picture and think "hmmm...he looks desirable and I want to date someone like that!"  I think that this was the deal sealer with all the other things, so happy to be looking for greener pastures!

So with my new excitement (not really) of back on the dating scene I make my profile viewable again.  One of my first emails was from this guy:

and his email says "lamest profile ever".  ABOUT ME.. My profile is far from awful!  He got a nice email from me saying that I was not sure why he would even respond AND it was because of men like him that I have been in "hiding" so as to not get emails from losers like him.  After the email was sent, he was immediately blocked!! It feels so good :)

While I was in hiding, it allowed me to be the person to seek out men that I was interested in. I will say that I did come across a few good possibilities and we have been corresponding. They are both attractive, can put together a sentence that is decipherable, we seem to have common interests, and well...they seem kinda normal. But don't they all??

 



So I am feeling pretty good about this second (or 100th) go at dating, because it is all about timing! THEN I come across profiles like this..

Here is what his profile reads:
HEY YALL,CHANGEING THIS AGAIN...IM A 37 YRS.OLD,GARAGE OWNER,I STAY DIRTY MOST OF THE TIME,BUT

IM A STRAIT UP GUY THAT WILL NOT DEAL WITH LIES...THATS WHY IM SINGLE NOW..I LOVE DRAG RACEING,CAMPING,DIRTBIKE RIDEING,PLAYING GUITAR,BUT MOST OF ALL ILOVE SPENDING TIME WITH SOS.

LADYS, IM SIMPLE...BUT VERY SINCIRE,IM ON HERE FOR YHE REASON THIS SITE WAS INTENDED FOR. I LIKE TO PLAY,BUT I TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUS. SO IF YOUR JUST WANTIN TO PLAY, AND NOT HAVE A RELATIONSHIP PLEASE SAVE ME THE DIGNITY

So I say...Happy Dating!

I have started my Spring Garden of broccoli, spinach and Romaine Lettuce.  I am very excited for spring and working in the yard.  I was not excited about the small snake I found (and BTW I live in the CITY) and killed in fear it COULD be poisonous and harm my dogs. In the back is my compost bin that I am starting this year and excited for great soil it will bring me!!

With Spring and the approach of Summer comes thunder storms and with that comes panic attacks for Grace.  Lets say this past week has been rough for her AND me, more so her though. I just lost sleep trying to console her, she thought that the house was going to cave in on her and freaked out.  Fortunately I have gotten her Xanax refilled and we should be good to go!

HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE!!!
