Moe, Terry & Tia

I just wanted to let you three know that I miss seeing you here!!!!!  I know I have been mostly a lurker but I have always valued your guidance and information and of course your happy spirits!! Stephanie

Hey Steph! Good Morning to you and everybody else.  I have been so swamped at work (and there's talk of them blocking different websites, and sometimes I'm not able to login while at work) that I have not been able to get in here during the day.  Sometimes I have time to login from home in the evening,  but I've been having internet issues there too.  My life has become so busy I often feel like I'm on a speeding train hurtling through.  I'm not complaining though!  I'll try to make more of an effort to get in here from work ****il if/when they block it) I miss being here and it's nice to be missed, thank you :-) Have a wonderful day!

Hey Steph - I've been lurking, but not posting much.  Thanks for missing us!!!  Actually, I miss posting and need to get back into it.  Like Terry's, my life's been pretty nuts - let's see - in June, I was transferred to a job where they didn't want me and don't know what to do with me, even three months later, so I'm STILL trying to get acclimated; my Dad had knee replacement surgery at the end of July - thankfully, all went well; in August, we had to put my beloved Beagle, Molly, to sleep and we're all still grieving deeply; I met a really nice guy at the end of August, we talked for 6 hours, went out, decided we liked each other well enough to continue dating, and a week later, his ex-girlfriend popped back into his life and they decided they couldn't live without each other!  I've been exploring dating web sites, some of it's pathetic, some funny, and no true hits yet, other than the one who got away!  So between nursing a grieving and broken heart and just life, I've been pretty busy. So update me, what's new with you?  I know your post-op time is flying by - I can't believe it's been a little over two years for me already!!  The changes are amazing, and I'm looking to have some plastics, coupled with a hysterectomy in February.  Hopefully, it won't be an insurance battle, but the approval for my wls was almost TOO easy, so we'll see. Take care and I'll try to get on here more!!!  PM me if you need anything! Hugs, Tia

Hmm... seems that maybe you and I need to just give up on the search. Those dating sites seem to just bring out jerks.  I hope things start to look up for you sweetie!!! Smooches, Aime

Thanks, Aime! I'm not, at the young age of 40, ready to give up.  I can't believe that God means for me to be alone for the rest of my life.  I know I'm overweight, but I'm not hideously ugly, I'm intelligent, witty (or so I like to think), and I have a caring heart.  There's got to be someone out there for me, and I'll just either have to wait patiently or take a break for now. I think taking a break is in order; I'm going to go back to college and take one course a semester in preparation for retiring from the State in 8 years.  Don't know what type of degree program I want, so I'll start with the basics, English, math, science, etc.   Yeah, other than the one really nice guy on match, most of the others have been duds.  A lot of people, women and men, really misrepresent themselves on these sites, and a lot of people are vulnerable to them.  Mr. Right's got to be out there somewhere, but I think I need to focus on Tia for a while!! Don't give up - my Dad always said there's a lid for every pot - it's just that I keep getting cracked ones! Tia

Hi Steph Thanks for missing me ...  like Terry and Tia I've been busy also, and coupled with that .. out of town for a few days.   We left very early Sunday a.m. for Boston and returned last night.  Mr Mo went with me and enjoyed himself while I was busy in conference sessions.   We did have a wonderful day Sunday sightseeing with some friends who live about an hour from Boston, and made it to a Red Sox game at Fenway on Monday night (that made Mr Mo's trip complete .. seeing a game .. any game AT Fenway). I'm just peeking in quickly here, but will try to catch up and post a bit tonight when I get home. Hugs, Mo
