I'm down with that. The goat lives at the school district barn and I'm on a half acre out in the burbs. Plenty of room to entertain.

There is only 2 songs each holiday season that causes my tears to flow. One is a song my dad used to enjoy and he died on Christmas Day so that song will do it for me.
But the other one has haunted me since I was 6 years old. It's from the TV special Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and it's called "There's Always Tomorrow".
I used to wonder and hope for tomorrow and now at the age of 57 I'm still hoping. Angrily I scream, "How much longer do I have to wait and hope for tomorrow and for my dreams of giving and receiving love to come true for me?"
This breaks my heart. I'm sorry about you dad. I sing that song often and ask myself the same question. How. long. and then I just call "bullshit" |

Speaking of this most joyous time of year, do the jewelry commercials piss anyone else off? The one I hate the most is the "one diamond for my true love, one diamond for my best friend." Every time that commercial comes on and my wife and I are in the same room (granted, a rare event), there is an almost palatable tension that comes into the room. I've bought her lots of jewelry over the years, but for some reason that particular commercial just makes me so sad for something that should be the truth. Sorry, just saw the damn commercial again and wanted to vent |

Sorry, just saw the damn commercial again and wanted to vent Jewelry commercials, Victoria's Secret commercials (although, I enjoy the eye candy), Viagra and Cialis commercials all get me every time. Speaking of commercials, why are there so many commercials about woman suffering from bowel issues? I guess it is partly to do to the fact that I normally only watch TV shows when I'm trying to pretend we still have a relationship and she has the remote control, thus she picks shows targeted mainly to women. I've bought my STBX a lot of jewelry over the years too, and as you know that stuff ain't cheap. She usually buys me inexpensive practical stuff like socks and underwear, and maybe a few shirts. One year all she got for me from her and the boys was an acrylic salt and pepper shaker, which cost all of $8. However, I've already decided that regardless of what she gives me this year, I am putting it into the charity bin the same day, so I hope for the sake of the less fortunate that she buys some really nice stuff this year. However, I seriously doubt it. In fact, I am willing to bet a months salary that it will be one pack of underwear and two shirts from an inexpensive department store, and probably not something I would wear anyway. |

Sorry, just saw the damn commercial again and wanted to vent Happy venting! I'll see ya one and raise ya' twenty. My STBX has been belching her classical or Christian Christmas music through the house from the back room for days now! It's from the center of the house where the ceilings are the tallest, everything echos! All the rest of us close our doors, put in our head phones, and tolerate it. I sit far outside the house in the driveway to get away from it. Has she once, asked anyone, "is that too loud? Does any one mind? Do you want to hear this? Do you like this? Is this okay?" Not from a controller!! But, but, when she needs to make a conference call from her back room, open office, and the girls have the TV on or are talking in the kitchen, out comes the demands. " Hey keep it down, I have work to do! Go take your noise somewhere else, your disturbing me, thank you." I am so looking forward,(and nervous) about having two separate houses. |

Sorry, just saw the damn commercial again and wanted to vent I watch a lot of sports and did with my ex. Even Christmas he's coming over and we are spending the day with the kids together then our Steelers are playing!! Do you know how many Viagra commercials I've watched with him? So many that I know which one is my favorite! I think it's for Cialis with the man driving through the country in his pickup truck and the woman is in the house and they show her bedroom light on. All I could think was - I wish that man was driving to see me! Lots of tension. Jewelry commercials are a little sad for me too now but at least there's no tension in the room because I'm by myself. So yeah I get it! |

My misfit, a trusting, loving heart and soul. Well maybe Santa will take me away to someone who wants that for Christmas. |

Burl Ives needs an update:
"Have a Holly Jolly Christmas, It's the best time of the year, I don't know if there'll be snow, but have a pot brownie"
Hey if you don't laugh, you'll cry right?

I won't pretend that I'm not sad & a little bit lonely. My inner Caris wants me to wallow & feel sorry for myself all alone today.
My inner logician knows that when I bought myself a pair of emerald earrings this year, I did wish some handsome man was the one who bought them for me.
I do not regret leaving. I do not fear being alone forever, because I figure I won't be. But I am mostly alone right now, this morning. I'll go to some meetings today & visit the stepkids too. But I'll be alone to go to sleep tonight. And I'll wake up alone tomorrow.
And do you know something? It does hurt some. And yet - I do not regret or fear this. I need this. The universe will not give me more than I can take. Growth hurts & I'm growing some today.
I love you guys & gals! I feel really lucky to have found you all who have helped me so much at times, laugh with me, & listen to me.
I am so grateful to know I could just hop on here & share this soul-baring post & not even worry that you may not get it - you DO get it. I know you do.
Happy merry everything 🎄

Happy merry everything 🎄 That brought tears to my eyes but I'm in the same boat as you and I completely understand. I don't fear it either. I accepted it before I divorced. I'm happier day in and day out and I know I made the right decision. I'm thankful for everyone here too and especially all of your words of wisdom from when you first landed on EP and we exited during the same time period. Merry Christmas GG. |

You're an angel! Merry Christmas my dear friend and to all my dear friends here!
