sorry you didn't hear from the step-adult-kids. this year. next year will be different, I'm willing to bet.
and...good call on the possible set-up. 5 miles away is waaaaaaay too close for someone who, um, fits the description you got!! more red flags than a bullfighting ring (and my guess is, that's not the only resemblance....)
Thank you for your kind words about the "kids" And "Amen" to the rest!

Hey G, just checking in. Funny you mentioned about the red flags. I met this one girl a few months ago who is 31 never married, now 31 is not old but I'd already had a kid by then. Anyway, exchanged a few IMs and email conversations and a few more red flags popped up. The last straw was when she snapped during an IM conversation because I told her to go have dinner (it was 10pm and she was complaining she was starving) in a caring way and she thought I was commanding her! jeezus! I just sat there with my jaw dropped for a few secs. I told her I really had to go and never talked to her since. It kinda made me miss my STBXW because I kept thinking how she knew me so well and I [thought] knew her so well and now I'll have to start over fumbling and bumbling my way through this. Sometimes I ask myself if I should really even bother anymore? I'm sure with age my 'needs' will die down (hopefully! and I never thought I'd say that lol) and if I really needed a companion to go places with me maybe I'll get a dog instead
OK some silly talking there but sometimes I type what I'm thinking.

My positive vibes and manifestation for tonight. (And for any of you hurt, discarded souls who need a positive vibes/manifestation pick-me-up):
Wherever You Are Mary Chapin Carpenter
I’m looking for a strong and steady heart For a love that won’t fall apart At the first sign of trouble, near or far I’m looking through eyes that have shed some tears And I’m looking for that one who’s gonna face my fears Without thinking he must erase each scar
I’m gonna find you baby, wherever you are Wherever you are love won’t leave you stranded Wherever you are love won’t let you hide Wherever you are, one of these days We’ll be walking side by side All it takes is some time and destiny A little courage for those days when all we see Is a cold lonely rain coming down hard
I’m gonna find you baby, wherever you are Wherever you are love won’t leave you stranded Wherever you are love won’t let you hide Wherever you are, one of these days We’ll be walking side by side I’m looking for a love that’s meant for me I can’t be bothered with some wannabe Just like the light from heaven’s stars I’m gonna find you I’m gonna find you I’m gonna find you I’m gonna find you baby, wherever you are
Okay, Gardener's taking a self-serving, yet genuine, sincere poll: Any of you DB ladies within striking distance/driving distance of Peekskill, NY? Reply here or on the .alt.

Just catching up G, I've been MIA from your guys' threads.
Sounds like you're getting ready for a roadtrip! Whenever you come to the west coast you know "who you gonna call!!"
