She's gone. I always knew this day would come. She was too good for me, and even though she always denied that whenever I mentioned it, I could always tell she was looking for someone better.

Now I'm alone again, naturally. *runs away crying*

Everyone is allowed an opinion though non of you are qualified to have a "valid" opinion.
I'm a septic as to whether CO2 causes Global Warming. The fact the I don't see any "Official Study" to prove 100% one way or another leaves me unconvinced either way - but that's my opinion.
I also have never seen a video which proves that Global warming is truly happening - therefore my inclination is to believe the status quo and lean in the direction that nothing out of the ordinary is happening.
No proof either way - leave it alone - again my unqualified opinion.


You're a septic?? Aerobic or leech line??

How interesting it is to see him, during this entire interview trying desperately to convince himself that he has done the right thing. He wants to challenge people's perception of what a penis should look like?
You have not accomplished your task Epic Fail Human, you have only performed genital mutilation on a grand scale. The rest of us are not impressed nor "challenged". And by the way, tonight I am going to have sex.
You? Oh yeah, you are going to be at home. Alone. Again.
Freak show...

Life's too complex for relationships to be run via bumper-sticker-sized rules. Some people should be run from, some people should be ignored, some people deserve a second chance, and some people don't. Transgressions, toxicity, and tenacity vary.

I recently had a friend from high school get back in touch and I was kind of pleased, but it didn't take much before I remembered why we lost touch in the first place. I will continue to send one-line, friendly but unenthusiastic replies until she calms down and leaves me alone again.

This isn't the rule: in the same month I found two other people from days past who have vastly enriched my life and who I was delighted to find. I've even had people that I wrote off, justifiably, by my lights, come back into my life and have it be the right thing to let them do so (hell--I even paid for part of rehab for them).

And I know, Swampgirl just wanted to remind people to have an open heart and a little tolerance, and yay for that, but a few other people just wanted to remind people that if yer gettin' kicked, you don't need to keep putin' up with it, and yay for that.

Fixed now. Thanks for the heads up, Nadageek.

Cool -- like Lendl, I too got my glider license when I was 16. We had 2-33's and a Krosno.

I *did* get in trouble one time however -- or almost -- it was one of the first flights of the season so I was out of the habit of keeping a close watch on my altitude. I was just glancing at it and thinking "oh I've got plenty" (the ground was at 800' ASL, so what looked like a lot of altitude on the gage was 800 feet less in actuality). I'm just cruising around, enjoying the sunshine and being up there alone again after a long winter, and it wasn't a strong day for thermalling (nor did I ever really have the knack for it) so I was naturally descending the whole time. Finally it occurred to me that the tractors and cars down below were looking bigger than they usually did from up there...! I woke the fuck up and realized with a shock that I was well below circuit height and still a good two miles from the airfield. I made it back but not by much.

Thank you mucho, my friend! Let me know if you want/need a save. I owe you one, and thanks again!

My wife literally cannot hear this without tearing up.

In a little while from now,
If I'm not feeling any less sour,
I promised myself, to treat myself,
And visit a nearby tower ..........
And climbing to the top,
will throw myself off,
In an effort to, make clear to whoever,
What it's like when you're shattered .......
Left standing in the lurch,
At a church where people saying .....
My God, that's tough, she stood him up,
No point in us remaining .......
May as well go home,
As I did on my own,
Alone again, naturally.

To think that only yesterday,
I was cheerful, bright and gay.
Looking forward to-
Who wouldn't do- the role I was about to play.
but, as if to knock me down,
Reality came around,
And without so much as a mere touch,
Cut me into little pieces.
Leaving me to doubt, Talk about God in His mercy,
Who, if He really does exist,
Why did He desert me?
And in my hour of need,
I truely am, indeed,
Alone again, naturally.

It seems to me that there are more hearts,
Broken in the world that can't be mended,
Left unattended, what do we do?
What do we do?

Alone again, Naturally.

Looking back over the years,
And whatever else that appears.
I remember I cried when my father died,
Never wishing to hide the tears.
And at sixty-five years old,
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn't understand why the only man,
She had ever loved had been taken.
Leaving her to start, with a heart so badly broken,
Despite encouragement from me,
No words were ever spoken.
And when she passed away,
I cried and cried all day,

Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally.
