    Thanks for the support need. I still have my wits about me when it comes to NOT saying things that would get me fired... lol
    So how are you your ear your family your goals?

    My ear is fine. Better as it will get.;) I am doing my yoga everyday, I am so happy for that! I am working on the goals, but it is more complicated that I want to get into. The kids are fine and they are helping, they still act sometimes like they shouldn't even have to clean their room, but for the most part we get past that and all in all they make out with allowance every week;) My daughter is the biggest help... I always knew she would be.
    When are you leaving? Are you going to have puter access?

    Hi, I'm 33, in a very similar situation. New to my surrounds and alone. I have no friends too close to me. Just looking for some online chat and companionship. I've tried multiple ways of keeping myself occupied, most of the time it still comes back to needing someone to chat with. Human interaction. Anyone want to chat?
  • Nov 30, 2008, 03:55 AM

    Volk: sure anytime. I know exactly what you mean.
    How was your holidays? What are your hobbies?
    Start: How were your holidays. I have missed our chats...

    I wasn't able to attend Thanksgiving dinner this year. Had to work and family is a little too far to do both. Things go up and down lately. I've been coping, but haven't found any real solutions to the lonliness. This is the first time I've ever been alone for more than a few days. I noticed that I went over a day without even speaking to anyone. That's weird. I like being alone and having my own schedule, but I do need some human interaction. You know.. without taking drastic measures. I go to work just to hang out with others sometimes. I know, pathetic. I work out as much as I can to pass time and not sit around and drink beer. I don't know. I'll eventually find some friends I guess.

    Need a friend

    Start:... well not so good... but still trying. I have rested though!
    Volk: I am sorry that you weren't able to attend Thanksgiving dinner. I have lived in this area most of my life and still haven't figured out how to make friends. I DO like to be alone... Too Much. I get lonely for conversation. I am around people all day but... no real conversation. So what do you do for a living. You moved by yourself? Not married or have kids?
    The working out is good. It produces the GOOD hormones... but I bet you already knew that. Do you live in a small town?
    I hope to hear from you soon!

    Need a friend:
    I split up with a girlfriend who I am in great debt to. She helped me through my previous divorce and we really did have something, but she was drinking too much and then a bunch of other personal things happened over the course of a year, so I just cut it off, she didn't want to help herself and I needed to get away. For the better. I was able to live temporarily at a friends place for a month until I found a place. Found a place closer to work and now it's just me. Lonely and 40 miles from family and friends. I don't know anyone in the area really. I just hang out and work out, ride my bikes and surf the net and eat and drink and sleep. Talk to a friend of mine on the phone once and a while. Really depressing stuff. I would much rather not talk about my jobs outside of they are the only things I've had to look forward to. It's not a small town, but it's no metropolis either. I've never been alone before. It's depressing.
  • Dec 4, 2008, 03:40 AM
    Need a friend

    Volkl,
    I know how you feel. I moved 60 miles from my family and it is hard! That was along time ago for me. I was in the same delima as you. All I did was work eat and sleep. I still don't have any friends either. I like to be alone. BUT there are times I need someone to talk to. I wish I knew what to say to make things OK for you. It sounds like you are smart if you got away from the drinking...
    I am the girlfriend that helped through the divorce, but he started drinking not me.
    I am still here and it is not as bad as it was in the beginning by a long stretch but I wish he would quit altogether. He is a 3 nighter. Goes out 3 or 4 nights a week. But is usually home by 10 and the bar is 3 blocks away.
    Is there anyone at work that you could hang with after?
    Well I know I can't fix the problem so I will quit trying... LOL I am here for you if you want to talk... startover22 has been a great friend for me... and a great cheerleader.
    Tell me about you... what kind of workouts do you do? Weights?
    Any other interests or hobbies you have or would like to have? Fav color?
  • Dec 9, 2008, 08:16 PM

    Need?? How are you? I am doing good, slowing on the yoga but getting my life in some sort of order. I am getting the total gym thingy, I need more muscle and I can't seem to use the free weights cause of my back. Work is nuts, kids are crazy, and we got our Christmas tree up.

    GO NEED GO!

    VOLK, make yourself get out of the house and do something... you have to or you will go crazy. Get involved. be a big brother or volunteer, do crafts with kids after school... help your community. (if time allows that is)
    Good luck!

    Well... I ride my bike often. Not just indoors. Even though it cold out, I force myself to get out and that's nice, went riding on Saturday, Colder than... I ski, went skiing on Sunday. Was helping my 4 yr old niece improve her technique. Well.. you know She's 4. LOL. Needless to say I had a good weekend. As for volunteering I've been considering helping at the hospital. Right now I volunteer my services for a local social club, but that is getting old and I really want to get out of it.

    Things are going better.. but there's always going to be harder times.

    Volk, There will always be better times too!! It is good that you stay active. I would love to learn to ski... alas... It is FLAT where I live! Try to find the good! We are here for you!!
    Start>>>Great! I want a total gym thingy too!! Goy my treadmill up but had to make a fast dash 1000 mile trip... got caught in a snow storm in the dark in a v6 rear wheel drive car going up a mountain!! AAAAHHHH! I thought I was going to have to ghost write you!! lol.
    I am glad the yoga is still going!! Go START go! No christmas tree for us this year YEAH!!

    Need, where in the heck are you? How are you doing, are you holding up? I hope you are;)
  • Jan 31, 2009, 11:07 AM
    Need a friend

    Wow I was just thinking about you. I am... holding up. I had that time off work then got good and sick and was off for a week and a half. I am now doing everything for the other business and considering another part time job to make ends meet. The daughter moved out... moved with her boyfriend :( had a pregnancy scare decided to get married march 8th and can't afford her rent and want to fix up the house place we bought for her... right now!! So needless to say that in itself is... something.. I miss my boys... they are too busy for me and the other one I just seem to fight with over grades, his car, his chores... everything. RL and I are fine... we don't see each other much... he is working his pants off and need to buy another truck and hire someone else to help but then that cuts down our income even more... Kind of a catch 22. I was working out and walkng everyday. Plus eating better... I got sick and well... I need to get back to it.
    So how about you? Getting some help around the house? How is the yoga going? How's the ear?
    Let me know... I have been thinking of you... Just sometimes can't get slowed down until my body finally gets sick enough I have to stop... lol... keeping on keeping on!!
    Hope to hear from you soon!!
  • Jan 31, 2009, 11:13 AM

    WAIT... how old is your daughter? I forgot how old your kids are??
    Need, you bought her a house? And you can't make ends meet? Need something isn't right here, and we need to get to the bottom of it...
    Ohhh I hope you get back to you... keep on keeping on;)
  • Jan 31, 2009, 12:41 PM
    Need a friend

    She is 18... we bought her a mobile home... it is older and needs a lot of work... we bought it a year ago because we had land already ready for one... we thought OK... this will give her a place of her own but close to us rent free for college... she had close to a free ride to college... yep dumped the college so far. So the place has just been sitting because she decided she was too good for a "trailer" even if it was rent free. She has been on her own "w/ her bf" for 2&1/2 mo. And can't afford her rent because she dumped her job too!! So she got another job but they can't afford to stay where they are living... If she would have listened... The house would have been done... she wants a new car... and a wedding... and the house done... all right now... I can't help... but though I have told her... money grows on trees at my house you know!!
    Granted we bought it and it needs a lot of work... but... it could have been a starting place... but she couldn't wait and now we don't have the time to help... wait I am pulling my magic want out of my pocket...
    As far as me... I haven't forgotten... I don't push... we saved and finally got a dishwasher... BIG HELP!! And I am going back to exercise and eating right... So... I am good for now.
    I know this sounds... well childish... but... I think of me I just wish THEY would think of me once in awhile too... ya know. But then... I have YOU!! lol
    Thanks for hangin in there w/ me!! It is great to visit with you again!!

    Hi need! How are you? Did our Starty girl take off? Wow, your daughter sure looked a gift horse in the mouth didn't she? I'm sure she'll be sorry she did that!
  • Jan 31, 2009, 12:56 PM

    Naw, it doesn't sound selfish;)

    Need, you need not to fix up the house. I think if she wants anything, you should go back to the first agreement and she can go to college and live there... (no boyfriend living in) and then tell her that is what it is, she has one month to make up her mind, get signed up for college, or the rest is up to her an she will be paying rent to live in that place. Just my opinion, but you first came on here saying how selfish they were... remember? I suppose not getting what she wants sucks... but not being able to pay her rent does too;) She will get the point if you are tougher with her.

    I never knew you had money growing on trees and magic wands... gosh I found a good friend to hold on to, didn't I? I want you to send me the seeds to that magic tree please... oh and if you let me "borrow" your magic wand, I PROMISE I will return it;)

    Let her make her mistakes herself... tell her what you think along the way, support her with emotions an not money... she will learn to be a good woman that way;) Hard lessons humble us to do the right things, and that I think is the most important thing a kid can learn;)
  • Feb 1, 2009, 09:25 AM
    Need a friend

    I am trying to be both. I already told her she is paying to fix it up. She is getting married one way or another. I was told by my parents that if I stayed with RL they wouldn't help me in any way. And they don't nor do I ask them Nor do I need it. I am an adult. However... that hurt. It felt like they were saying choose me or him... She is my step daughter. Her mother is a wothless jerk. I am a nice person... I don't say that lightly. The kids would go over there and she would leave them in the middle of summer with NO electric to go drink at the bar. She would end up having a houseful of strange people staying the weekend. The kids have been through SO much. AND I don't have any support as far as that goes. RL has coddled her and then had nothing to do with her. I am going to make it clear... IF she decides she needs a baby right now... she can pay her own way. I just can't see bringing a new life into this mess...

    For the past few days I have had a white clumpy discharge, similar to wet toilet paper. It is not slimy, sticky and it has an abnormal smell and at times may taste very bitter or sour. I have no pain but some itching. After inserting a finger into the area, the finger is covered in these white clumbs.
