Fears (Adding to Moon's Topic)

[Plucky]

I don't know that this would be a dream of mine, just an alternative and a way to get beyond another failed relationship (which would be the case if this alternative were realized).

Hi Brigid,
I would like to suggest that you reframe this idea.  Is the relationship good right now?  Has it been healthy and joyful? Has it supported you after the awful divorce? Then why is the whole thing a failure unless it results in marriage or living together?  Isd it binary like that?   Either totally wonderful or totally a waste of time?  I think you are having a successful relationship, period.

Brigid,
I think you are wonderful for making up your mind and planning out the best life FOR YOU. It shows that you have inner strength and respect for yourself. I feel bad for your boyfriend if he doesn't know what he's got. But if he doesn't, you are way better moving on and into the life that will fit you!

PS Who in the world watches curling????? That's like meeting someone from North Dakota...

Hee hee

Love, Beth

Brigid doesn't watch curling.  She DOES it.

As in hair?

Or the thing where you chase someone with a kitchen broom???

thanks for that, Beth! 

Brigid don't mean to  laugh at you though, I am just having ridiculous images of you and broom and spaniels, is that okay?

lordy I needed a laugh.

I think it's very cool though. Really. I watched it at the Olympics. 

((((B&B))))

[Brigid]

OK, you guys can laugh all you want, but don't knock it until you've tried it. 

Honestly, I took up the sport of curling--yes, it does involve brooms and stones, but all that can be quite arobic--2 years ago as a way to get involved in something new.  It is a sport which is easy to learn and we have members who are young kids (they play in a junior league), and active players who are in their 80's.  In a short time, I have gotten quite good at it.  Curlers are very social and like to have fun.  It is a very civilized sport and everyone always shakes hands before and after a game--then we go and have drinks together (the winners buy).

During the Olympics, my son, who was 21 at the time and living in his fraternity house, said that his whole house was glued to the curling (especially the women, who they thought were pretty hot for the most part), claiming that it was the most boring sport that you couldn't stop watching.

Beth,

Actually, I am from Wisconsin and we have more curling clubs than any other state in the union.  The club I belong to is the oldest, continuously operating club in the US.

I actually lived in Bismarck, ND many years ago for a short time--but no one ever talked about curling up there (you also couldn't pay me enough to ever live there again).

Plucky,
You are right--I could not consider what we have as a failed relationship, no matter what happens, as it has brought me so much joy and made me realize what the possibilities are.

Hugs and good curling to you all,

Brigid

I've actually known about curling for quite a long time... grew up in VT and received telecasts from Canada. It does look like fun and want a great conversation trinket!!! Wow, and you lived in ND!!!! And you love dogs... you are one interesting woman, my dear!!!!
Love, Beth

[Hopalong]

No kiddin', you're interesting, B!



Wow. Curling, spaniels AND Fargo-land.

You have my humblest admiration, Ms. B.

(And we not even TAWKIN 'bout the Harley).

Brigid, please let me down gently...but ... but... could it be you don't wear a string of pearls and sensible shoes??

   (((((((Brigid)))))

Hops

[Brigid]

Compared to most of you girls, I'm pretty boring, really.  I have never written poetry or music, painted, gotten my phd, or discovered the cure for cancer.  My only real claim to fame is raising two great kids, but I'm quite proud of that.

Actually, the dog stuff was setters (English), but I stupidly bought an English Cocker nearly 10 years ago (remember, she's the one who humps my leg  ).  I love my setters, bred and showed them for 20 years and still have one now.

Brigid, please let me down gently...but ... but... could it be you don't wear a string of pearls and sensible shoes??

Hops, you are very funny  .  I wouldn't be caught dead in pearls and rarely wear sensible shoes anymore (unless I'm picking up dog poop in my back yard).  Give me a great pair of 3" stilettos any day.  Nowadays, I'm more often in Harley leathers than crew neck sweaters and turtlenecks.  It's really great to be in your 50's and not give a crap anymore. 

Love to you all,
B.

I would say so!!

Moon,

Well, this is a side of you I've never seen before.  You and your pearls just go girl.    (would that be opera length or a choker?   )

No wonder you and Mr. Moon are so happy.

Brigid

[moonlight52]

My youngest just turned 14 on Monday Just a few more years and she will be off on her own............................

[Brigid]

Moonlight,
I will have to dig out those opera length pearls buried in my top drawer somewhere and see what creative things I can come up with.   

I have to say that the Harley is exciting from many standpoints.  Unfortunately, it won't be long and we'll have to put it away for the winter.

Mr. Moon with his fast cars and fast woman.  What a great combination. 

Enjoy every minute of these last years with your younger D.  It will be gone in a flash.    But the good news is that you and Mr. Moon will have that whole house to yourselves.  That can be something to look forward to.  (maybe you'll have to get an extra set of those pearls.  )

Love,

Brigid
