Soon the Holiday comes up! MIDSUMMER!! The one and only holiday that the Christians Havent managed to transform. It is still very heathen and the Maipole is a very obvious display of fertility cult. And the dances, and the games, and the drinking (sigh) all show that for a few days we are in our past before any Christian monks had landed at our shores and i like it.
Man, I had to chase some Christian monks off my back porch just last night! Sniffy buggers. They're worse'n Jehovah's Witness, or polytheistic Druids. Ye gods, scat, you buncha believers!
Kids dropped off something for Father's Day.
I like it.
I like it.
I think they'll have fun and there's plenty of stuff to do in NOLA. I just can't think of a lot of them at the moment, lol. Probably an effect of the hydrocodone the dentist prescribed to me.
They'll probably find plenty of things to do and places to go just while you guys are walking around. And there are way worse things than going on a trip with the folks, lol.
Indeed. Big ouchie, lol. I miss eating real food so much right now.
Healing vibes beeing send your way. It's just not the same if you only can suck or sip something to eat.
Maybe it was the Christian Brothers?
Perhaps they were distributing? You never know. They do wear the robes. They do.
I would have checked first, for wine - before brooming them off.

Okay I don't post much and I don't know where to post this so here goes.. I am currently separated (on my way to divorce) I recently reconnected with an old male friend (I am female lol) Anyway we have hung out a bit (he is in a relationship currently) but he has expressed feelings for me. The real problem is that he seems to have this idealized version of me in his head. (Yeah the other major problem is that he is attached) We have known each other for over 40 yrs and have always kept it at the friend level. I really like him but have told him I won't even consider anything unless his relationship status changes. But I don't want him to end his relationship because if his unrealistic vision of me. Does any of this make sense?
Of course it makes sense. Humans are social. We look for compatibility. We look for affirmation. When we find all that, we tend to latch on. And separation/divorce is an easier time in some ways for that to happen, because it's a process of rejection, which makes the affirmation/compatibility possibilities that much more attractive.
In such a circumstances, one's relationship status can be an annoyance rather than a downright block. Humans cling to a monogamous ideal, but they are not naturally monogamous. But our ethos is built around the concept, and we disregard it at our peril. But attraction can make us ignore the peril.
I have lots of friendships with women that don't involve romance. In fact, none of them do except one. So sure, it's possible, if both parties are interested in a friendship basis. If one party is not interested in keeping it just to friendship, that makes for complexity - and in my mind, it cheapens the friendship. What, we can't be friends without sex? So if your interests are friendship, you need to make that clear.
And if your interests are indeed romance, you're quite right to put on the brakes. As I saw in a kinda lousy movie one time, but it had a good line, and I will offer it now. Two girlfriends, and one is getting involved with a married man. The other one is strident about not going forward with it. She says, "If you don't love him, why do it? And if you do love him, you're [screwed]." Pretty good realistic advice, and if it had been taken, the movie would have been blessedly much shorter.
Life's not easy, and it doesn't come with an instruction manual. Follow your best instincts, and you sure seem to have good ones, and good luck.
Makes perfect sense. The only question here is: do you want an old friend to become your next ex or remain an old friend?
Don't let the answer rest on whether or not he's involved with somebody else. Decide for yourself.
Best of luck.
Very cute, I just hope her dress doesn't get caught. 
I just noticed your avatar.....how in the world did my dog get into your pool????Very cute, I just hope her dress doesn't get caught.
How freaking adorable are they?
Is this the Summer Solstice? Tonight there is even a Strawberry Moon - which really just means there's a full moon on the summer solstice but it doesn't happen often. Happened last in 1967, won't happen again until 2062 (I think). Everyone go say Goodnight Moon tonight!
Grandpa had good advice. I tend to lean on the "don't get involved right now" side of the fence. You're fragile due to an impending divorce, he's in a relationship - makes me wonder if he's trustworthy.
Good Lord that is precious! Except
Escalators terrify me. I will always take the stairs.
I posted a link to wiki on the strawberry moon in the Science thread if anyone wanted to read more about it.Is this the Summer Solstice?
