NV-hmm Do you want to call her? If you call her, do you think that she'll just go back to treating you like you're her personal toy to be dropped when she feels like it? Are you sure you want to get involved with her again?

IF the answers to those questions are: Yes, No, Yes Then I say go for it and call her up right now...if not, maybe wait and see how this plays out. HUGS and remember I have my bappin hand on stand by and I will smack the daylights out of her if you want me to.

Well I do tend to think too much. Which may be why I have such a hard time condensing my words. But thank you for the kindly said "wow".

Came to shoe yesterday and our little ( ha ha 17 1/2 hands 2000 pound Percheron)Tinkerbell, just would not pick up her foot ( which has never happened) and her legs are so heavy there's no way you can make her. We're all standing at the back end trying all kinds of tricks to get her to lift it, when in walks my brother who asks what we're doing and with some frustration my sister tells him. He busts up laugh ing and says he knows just what the problem is. She's been holding her front leg up this whole time, while we've been at the back and she's so big no one could tell

What Magnificent Beasts!

How come all we ever hear about is Clydesdales (which I think are REALLY cool. And, no, it's not all Budweiser's fault; Clydes didn't become cool because of Bud, Bud used them bacause they were cool. Bud might have made them cooler...). Do you belong to the Percheron Horse Association of America? That's where I Googled the Percheron pix. 'Round here a Perch is a fish and a Heron is a wading bird. Can't tell you what kind of image that brought forth...

FishHorse?

BirdHorse?

Fisheating BirdFish? Self-devouring Serpent...?

No, wait that's your tattoo.

RugBug, What kind of equines do you have?

"Well, here I am."

So... ponder my fair friends...

Hmm, I guess I'd be one of those semi-regulars as I'm not here as frequent as I was. I thinkt there's an important element in RL friends in the fact that you can get to know them, hang out with them, see differences in behavior, speech, body language, likes, dislikes and actions. You definitely get more depth from the people you know in the real world. As for people in this community, I think you guys are all great and I would love to get to know you in real life. The thing about online friends is that it transcends age, race, and other barriers that are normally encountered in the "real" world. Also, the internet offers a sort of anonymity and the idea of "the stranger" and sharing your thoughts/feelings with them without any sort of pretense can be somewhat attractive and comfortable. But really, I feel there's no substitute for being with people in real life. That doesn't mean that online friends are any less per se, it just means you can't get to know them on the kind of level that you could if you were around them in the real world.

Just popping in before bed, everybody.
NVG, unless the 'getting it over with' thing is telling her she can stop messing with you and get stuffed, I say you shouldn't call her. If she calls you... Well, be careful.
And hey, for any of y'all who haven't seen, my dearest friended has introduced herself here: http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=24654 so give her a big shiny welcome!

Cute story, MSG.

I've had to do the opposite many, many times. Pesky horse won't stand still for wound care or foot soaking, etc. What do you do? Have someone pick up the other foot. Ta da! Compliant horsey.

Co-Pilot: Couple questions for you...

1) Do you have a job yet so you are making money and can pay back this guy?

2) If not, when do you foresee having a job? Are you actively looking?

Back when I heard you had to move home, my first thought was "she doesn't HAVE to." There are ways to make it work. But I would be leery of accepting help from someone other than family if I wasn't in the position to pay it back quickly. There's a fine line between letting people help you and needing to have people help you. The first is okay. The second leads to a life of codependency and limitations.

So, we got our deer, shot video at the range last night, and generally had lotsa fun this weekend.

Now for the hard part. It was suggested by my bestest friend (at 1:00 AM) that I just call Ms. Incredible? this morning and get it over with. What do y'all think?

NVG! Hmm, it's hard to say since I'm not fully familiar with the situation as I'm still catching up. I understand your feeling as I hate games as well. I subscribe to the idea of "if you want to talk to me, just call me." Games suck, hate this waiting for 3 days before you call crap, or whatever it is. But at the same time you have to be sensitive to her and kind of check out how she's feeling. See if you can get a feel for her perceptions on this matter and remember that reciprocation is important.

So, you guys wanna hear my weirdness from the weekend? Went to a party for a friend's birthday. Different friend got nice and drunk. She became super friendly at this point. Anyway she knows that I've got a crush on her friend from college and told the birthday girl that if she lived in town she'd go for me too. Then she asked me some weird thing about going on a trip to watch leaves change colors with her and her college friend. Then she got interrupted by another person and it didn't come back up. Anyway it was enough to get me confused and thinking about the girl again. Argh.

If this trip to see leaves change colors thing is real do I really wanna go? Of course hanging out with those two ladies sounds like a fun trip even if it is to watch paint dry....er I mean...leaves change colors. However, wouldn't I just be messing with myself by stirring up emotions for no real reason? That is unless she's planning on moving to town after she graduates...which I got no indication of the last time I hung out with her. $#^%@# This is why I didn't want to know if I had a shot or not. Then I could just not think about all these things.

Awwww, things are going all right, thanks for asking!

I think that my life will be very different by this time next year. One way or another. As Joss would say, there are a few things on the burner

Right now, though, as I do still have my job and have to go back tonight, I should really, really go to bed. I hope you're doing well, too

and I'll talk to you soon I hope

Zeek- well if you enjoy the company then just look on it as a chance to have fun and spend some time in the company of fun people. Not everything needs to be relationship bound ( especially at your age) and sometimes it's just fun to get some practice flirting ( or kissing, or what have you) in and later it'll come in handy for your true SO...or it could turn out that several years from now you have occasion to move near her or vice versa and you in up in a great relationship because you laid that early foundation.

yeah Percherons are great horses..though our Tink is much lovelier than the pic you found...similar coloring, but a long blond mane. She looks like a hippie chick in horse form and has the cutest tiniest whinny...and see Rugbug this is why I said talk away:)
