my work's average life expectancy for males is 60, so I will be the first to go. :rofl2:

huh, didn't know u were married at one time.

yah, my wife and I had our arguments but we were both young and stupid. we grew up together pretty much.

For about 6 years. Now I am free and it is a breath of fresh air.

sounds good. thought you were living with ur parents all dis time. ;)

3 hrs 15% power drain.. might be able to do 18hrs+ on a single charge.

I am. I was living in Wisconsin (Madison Wisconsin). I sold my house and crap to move back with them when my father fell ill and my mom couldn't take care of him and my sister.

yah, I knew u were taking care of ur parents which is a real nice and noble thing to do. :tup: especially while getting older.

my parents are 5500 miles away so can't really help dem..

will take me at least 24hrs.. probably more like 36hrs..

I love 'em a lot, but I want to kill them most days :icon17: There is a house about a quarter mile away for sale with 2 acres. I might go put in an offer, that way I can be close but not have to be here lol. I fear my sanity has left me most days :rofl2:

my parents could be dead by den.. :ugh:

:rofl2: yah, I can only image wat it'd be like if I had to look after my mom and pops day after day. not dat dey are bad people my pops is a stubborn sob and my mom is a worry freak. :eekdance:

dat house down da street sounds like a good idea. :tup: id seriously check it out

Getting philosophical... :icon17:

People have this silly romantic notion that there is "the one" person they can be with. I don't really believe that; really I think you just find one whose particular brand of irrational crazy you enjoy and you make a go of it. Sometimes you win, and sometimes... Blackjack and hookers.

Me, I was in my 30's and had given up on meeting anyone because all the women my age were either married, divorced with children (I never wanted kids, let alone raising someone else's), or totally ******* looney.

My wife was born nearly 8,000 miles from me. She never married because she didn't want the kind of life her parents had, and didn't have the freedom to pursue her own happiness because they were very controlling. We met completely by chance, and even though I really liked her, I almost never even asked her out, for various reasons, including her family, which was the main reason. I am glad every day that I did, though, so far, for the last 16 years we've been together.

When I consider how I could have never ended up with her by the same sort of chance, the logistics of the whole thing are absolutely staggering.

Anyway, I totally understand where you are coming from. If you ever happen to meet someone who changes your mind, I wish you all the happiness in the world, but if you never do, it's a fool's game to settle for something less.

My dad was in the army and is pain in my ***. Getting him to take his meds and do therapy is a chore. When he was at my hospital, I warned all the Charge nurses and supervisors about him :rofl2: They didnt put up with his BS. Mom is the same way, worries all the time and can't sit still. Drives me up the wall. I am a very easy going person that likes to lounge. :rofl2:

fellas, my painus hasnt gone away...
