...another years passes. Time for a new post...

...another years passes. Time for a new post... I have no idea why i do this... I keep this Gold membership and so rarely use it. There are some really good people on this site and we've made friends...still I never stay. Might be from being raised as a military brat, moving every three years. Friends were temporary. Something else I still need to change about myself. So...an update. Last post was July of last year. I had been working for an insurance company, per J's requirements. Meetings in Nashville. Expense accounts. Full benefits. Fixed salary. Performance spreadsheets. New software. Business updates. Teleconferencing. Boss. Boss's boss. Ugh. Started up my business again on the side...found new . Money flowed. I re-established friendship with Charity, as I couldn't when I was married. She wasn't working, still struggling with two teenagers and sharing a house with friend Erika. I got her back with a and moved her to an apartment within walking distance to the kiddos' school. And started taking her to work and back every day. Every day. Every. Day. Connected with neighbors and tied the neighborhood together. We had nights on patios, grilling steaks and drinking Dos XX beer until 2am. Good people. One of them, Linda, was newly separated from her overweight, abusive, alcoholic, porn-addicted, ho-on-the-side, lazy husband. She was doing all she could to keep her family together. A 15-year-old lovely ( that Son2 had an incredible crush on..) and a chip-off-the-old-block 11-year old . I had met him when I first moved here in July `06 with J and kiddos. Read the body language of the relationship quickly and efficiently: NoLoveThere. They split in April, got ugly quickly. She and I became friends, probably both wanted more. He dies in September, alone in a rented room, surrounded by sex toys, laptop porn, empty gallon vodka bottles and a .46 blood alcohol content. She calls me at 4am, right after the cops leave the house. Funny how you know when people's lives change as they do. Sometimes as a mixed blessing. As this was. Linda and I began a relationship to rebuild her life. I painted the house and replaced the garage door, kept the grass mowed and cars up. We had long evenings and red wine, good movies and live music. Conversation was deep when it had to be, light when it needed to be. Lots of lunch dates, in or out. I felt like I was making up for the sins of other men, re-establishing the faith that she lost in that gender. Her kiddos wanted nothing to do with that...the boy took his Dad's place as the family (ab)user. She let him. Quit the job in January. Free again. To ascend or plummet. Went on a cruise in February with her..had a great time in the Caymans, Jamaica...all that. Cigars and Grand Marnier on a moonlit deck. MaiTais in the sunshine. Reggae cover bands. Sunlit breakfasts. Intimate room-service picnics in the cabin. Lush green jungle and white sandy beaches. Nice. Kiddos found out we were together on Day4. CryCryCry. Son1 and Son2 are great: oldest is a junior at Texas A&M and doing awesome. Great job. Good grades. Cool friends. Cute girlfriend. AllThat. Youngest is working at an auto parts store. He had been driving the BMW I bought Desi (and somehow inherited in the divorce) but the winter came on and the heater was bad. His Camaro was yet unfinished in the garage, so I bought him a `98 Z28 and (again, somehow inherited) yet another car. Left me with the `Cruiser project, the daily driver Grand Prix, the BMW635csi (..still to be a started project, but still a driver..), the BMW325es (..just painted..a driver..), the Alfa Romeo Spider (just painted, but needing the convertible top replaced..still a driver..), and the Camaro in the garage(..80% complete..). Sigh. Found a buyer for Linda's hubster's F150 and steered her toward a BMW X3. She loves it. Awesome. I put her junker Camry up for sale. Life is good: Business is good. Kiddos are good. Linda is good. BuddySteve and BuddyLarry are good. Friends are good. Church is good. Health is good. is good. Neighbors are good. Almost. Next-door neighbor Cristin splits with her hubster. She finds out about his beyond-perverted second life, hidden credit cards, layers of lies..all that...we're all friends now...leave me with six single women within sight of my front door. Awesome. Lots of yards to be mowed and heavy boxes lifted. More steaks and wine, laughing on the patio. Linda's life is becoming worse.. is deviating and becoming uncontrolled. Sex. Drugs. AllThat. Linda decides to move to Midland, five hours northwest. Son2 helps her pack her stuff and we move her. That was July. I'm still trying to sell stuff from her house, sell the Camry and clean her house. FunFun. At least things are looking better there, she's with family. Really miss her now... Met Amy, a salon-owner with two teenaged daughters that absolutely love me. Her past is similar to all those previously mentioned...alcoholic, abusive, cocained and unfaithful ExHubster. She is faithful and grounded, struggling and friendly. How does this happen to me? Who finds who? I renovate her garage/Ex's music studio into a cool family room; walls are down, carpet is up, recessed lights are in, everything works. Sheetrock this weekend. Paint and texture in a few weeks. Tile last. It'll be nice... Son2 moves to Corpus Christi to go to college there. Cool. Corpus is a nice town. I think every stripper I ever met in Texas was from there. Or so they claimed. Maybe it was their stage-hometown. To go with their stage-name. So I'm alone, more or less. I see Amy when I can. I help Cristin when I can, her house is sold and doesn't know where she'll go...Linda's house is still for sale and probably may be converted to a rental house. I have another truckload of stuff there that needs to go to Midland. Maybe next month. Charity's life got more complicated when her 17 year old had a baby in May. And is 3 months pregnant again from the same loser boyfriend. I offered to keep both girls (and the babies) at my house under the condition that the 16-year-old thug and the 's loser BF don't come over. NoCanDo. Charity moves back in with Erika. Oh Well. Camry is still for sale. BMW325 is for sale. Work slows a bit. Oilwell Money still coming in... So. Last year in a nutshell. I come here and check in with friends..some are still around, some have pulled the plug on this site. Like my early childhood friends. Oh Well.  |

Hi A! I love it when you stop in also...long time, huh? ") I promise to stop in more often...this site usually took enough of my time to avoid girlfriends ( and also filled that need to talk to beautiful women like yourself..) and I should've been more active here, instead of at the altar there.. ") Thanks for the visit...I'll stop in again this weekend when I get some time..
