The reason I was looking for the original thread was that I am currently wearing this bag of microwave heated beads around my shoulder trying to loosen up a wayward muscle in my neck that has been cranking at me for a month and a half now. The therapist said to get this heat therapy thingy. So far, I think it would do more good between my thighs. Ooooh, not tooooooo hot though. He keeps telling me I have a strained muscle. I was not gonna tell him which muscle it might be. Anyways, given the crunching and cracking going on, I think I may have a burst vertebrae or something else. But, the factory therapist says do this, so I have to give it a go for a week or two. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I think someone hid a wrong button. The OP can request a thread closed, but it should not be hidden unless it has rule violations in it. This one didn't. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

It was a difficult situation, please don't make more of it than it was. I was there and read every single post back and forth. Please trust the kittyman on this one and let it go......

I am sorry if I offended. One of the problems with getting older I guess. |

There was funny stuff in there and in the gotta go thread. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Well there was the bit where I said that 40 odd yr old women still seem like kids to me. ;-) Then someone said something like, they were kids to start with. :-D I was going to say more, but I thought that it was best to STFU. ;-) Cheers. |

Well there was the bit where I said that 40 odd yr old women still seem like kids to me. ;-) Wiggo........ I happen to very much like younger women. I also happen to be very much in love with a lady just my age. And she loves me. Now........ If that were not the case, I should be very much enticed by a cougar/kitten love affair. You be careful what you say and what you mean by it. I have said many times I like younger girlz. I always shall. I like youth. I like the strength they have. The stamina, the charisma. But, I am 56yo, and I love Lori. So, I make myself happy with remembering what she was like at that age.......because, yes, I knew her that long ago. At this point in my life, 18yolds are simply fantasies for a fleeting moment in time. I have my basis point, my stabilizing thingy. And it is NOT an 18yo.

I only trying to help you eliminate parts of that thread for you Mark. ;-)
I'm only 2yrs younger than you, but i'm sure that the crazy girl around the corner wants me in a wheelchair. Cheers. |

I only trying to help you eliminate parts of that thread for you Mark. ;-) I happen to be an old man, by some standards. I am still in love with the one I met some 20 years ago. And, if she'll still have me, shall be until I die. Lori forever.........my true love. I have seen her through chemo.......and that is very hard, my friend. After working so hard to see her succeed, why would I ever abandon her for a younger chicky? Not me. She may not be the girl I knew 20 years ago, but shit, I am not the guy she knew 20 years ago either. I am not the studly stud I was back then either. Sword cuts both ways. She has given me, and forgiven me, everything. You should be so lucky as I have been. Thank you very much, but I would not trade our life for any girl around the corner, not matter what.

My missus (soul mate) of 25yrs died 7.5yrs ago and having to watch her be a vegetable (after her 2nd lot of strokes) for 14mths was more nearly more than I could take, but I had 3 young kids to bring up so what you are going through nothing compared to what I have had to in my life IMHO mate. Cheers. |

Wiggo......... Nothing compared to?? I chased my younger brother off a bridge and kissed him goodbye on the slab. I saw him jump and watched him hit the railroad tracks below. I was 10 feet away. I had to wipe his blood off the floor, because the police did not bother to. I lost a 5yo niece who wandered off a pier and drowned. So, don't, please try to compare sorrows. I had a kitty pass from a stroke after 9 months of caring for her every day by giving her sub-q fluids in her back.....every single day for 9 months. I don't wish to equate who's sorrows are worse. But I have had mine also. I am sorry to hear about your past love. I cannot imagine what that could be like, any more than you could imagine what I have been through. Kitty kiss and handshake. We, it seems, have both had a tough time. Meow. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

More than anyone will ever know mate. ;-) No cheers today, just consolation and hugs. I have sent you a PM trying to explain. I think our hearts are closer together than we may have realized. Pain of the heart is such an awful thing to try to overcome. Some of us never have. Now, perhaps you know a bit more of just who the kittyman is, eh? And damn, we happened to be put together as teammates. And both at the top of our class.......... What the F? You gotta wonder what God puts together sometimes. And why we both chose to diminish our sorrows in such a constructive manner. In the same way. Amazing, really. Meow. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |
