Celery salt is my crack

Anyway...

 

I've been trying to really budget and not go out to eat as much which means getting creative with what I already have in the house.

 

I just made a bean dip with vegetarian refried beans and mixed them with red lentils 50/50. I have to say it's seriously delicious. I did put a little bit of shredded cheese on the top but otherwise it could be vegan with the right stuff.

A Nice grilled Flat Iron Steak medium rare, with nice shrimp and or Lobster tail. Baked potato with everything and Bacon! and maybe some nice asparagus w/lemmon & Butter...

Best Vegan dish ever! :P

 

Seriously, why do meat-eaters always think stuff like this is necessary?

Coconut Cake

Gardetto's. Original, not the weird flavors.

Maybe they're on here making up crazy polls for their bored fans to take.

I married one that I met at the Clockwork Angels show in Kansas City!

 

Hey, I was just thinking of you earlier! Good to see you and glad you are well.

That's awesome! Congrats and glad to see you back.

Hey! You're back! And congratulations :)

 

Hi! Yeah I kind of missed it here!

Still mooing on the inside with a nice buttery crunchy crust on the outside.

No and no, and right now I am so turned off by this ticket buying process and the exorbitant amounts charged for them, that even if I had the money, I wouldn't go.

 

I hear you on that. I think many of us feel very betrayed.

OMG I thought that was Narp at first.

:LMAO:

 

Now that you mention it...

Baked chips from Aldi, only because I'm trying to get them out of the house, I won't buy them again, it's totally worth the extra $1.50 or so to get Baked Lays.

I like a man with a six-pack as long as he's not overtly buff, I can't stand bodybuilders or guys that try to hard to be like them, but if a man has them from hard work because of his job, or if he does have them from working out but doesn't go crazy at the gym, I find that attractive. My sweetie has a nice toned tummy and it makes me go :drool:.

 

But yeah, I think that ladies like it because it shows a man has discipline and most-likely cares about his health. I also think some women like to date guys who look like that the same reason some men like to date really over-the-top pretty and thin women, it's kind of a trophy look-at-me thing, but that depends on the person.

I'm confused.

 

You and this person were already having an affair while you were still married? That is what it sounds like your post is saying and I just want to make sure that IS what you are saying.

 

No affair, not at all. It just looked that way to some people because my ex and I were so private about things for the most part. But like I said, we still lived in the same apartment and made an appearance here or there, so it looked strange to some people.

There are also fans who don't pay attention to song titles. So, they may be fans but don't know what song you're talking about unless they hear it. That was the case ten years ago with a friend of mine that I helped get more into Rush. All he knew were the radio hits and had heard a few albums but nothing more. I burned him Rush's whole discography and he likes them a lot but to this day if I bring up specific song titles in a Rush conversation, he still sometimes doesn't know what songs i'm talking about right away. As soon as the song is played though he knows what it is.

 

I am actually HORRIBLE at song titles myself, always have been. I can sing all of the lyrics to a song and be like "What was the name of that song again?"

Hiding things is never good. Friends would always wonder why you were lying to them by not telling them the truth.

 

We weren't lying, we just weren't announcing anything.

Gangster, I have to ask: Was your husband surprised and did he wonder what he ever did that brought you to that point?

 

The horrible and sad yet somewhat amusing thing is that because we did chose to keep things so private, because we did still live together, and because sometimes we still went out together without letting people know what was going on, I lost a lot of friends because they all assumed things that were false. Even my ex regrets not telling people that we were having problems because of the backlash we faced, which was rather shocking to be honest. People had NO IDEA what was going on for nearly a year and thought I had left my ex for my new partner, which was so untrue. As of last week I even had somebody that I thought was a mutual friend of my partner and I, try to talk him out of getting married to me because of what they thought they knew about me.

 

So yes, he knew for sure.

It seemed like a month ago, but it was actually in November.

 

Eeeep, I'll have to add that when I have a minute!

Congrats on breaking away from the old unpleasant life and blossoming into the new. It was obvious you were very unhappy before and I'm so glad you were able to make a new life for yourself. That's awesome! I also had wondered what happened to you. You were always a great part of this forum and I hated to see that you were gone. Glad you're back and ready to rock. :D

 

Thank-you Eagle, I just needed to get settled in here and take care of some things first.

Gangst, if you only knew how often I thought about you and, probably a lot more often, I prayed for you as well.

 

Glad to hear that you are all right and that you didn't jump - or so it seems - from the frying pan into the fire.

Thank-you Lorraine, that means so much to me.

 

Somehow, around the same time, friends and family started to see what was going on, they knew I was more keeping up appearances, and so everybody just started to reach out to me, they even opened up their homes, tried to help me find jobs in other areas. I had so many places to go, Utah, Idaho, my hometown, San Francisco, Oakland. It was pretty damn amazing, but I decided on... Michigan because that's where my new love lives. We have a great little house and it's been a bit of a culture shock but I think for the most part I'm settling in nicely.

Hope you brought a winter coat.... ;)

 

Winter coat, winter boots, winter gloves, wool socks. None of them are as warmed as I hoped.

I had tickets in Chicago, Geddy side, first upper section, lost those. Now I'm Alex side in the cheaper seats. I guess my wallet is grateful but something is very screwy with the ticket sales this time around.

Missed you. Just wanted you to know....

 

 

Hi Narp, great to see you, I missed you very much as well!

Hi everybody,

 

I am not sure who still reads this but I've checked my messages and have received many check-ups from all of you, which I appreciate. I am sorry I've been somewhat absent. This morning I'm sitting at home with a sore throat and I was going back, reading up, and catching up on some of my old threads.

 

Well, here's what's up.

 

While my marriage did not survive, I definitely have. I spent a lot of time with my therapist and just started working on loving myself, feeling better about myself, and starting a new life. During that time I confided in a very small number of close and trusted friends that supported me, kept me going, gave me ideas and helped me very much because sometimes they knew exactly what I was going through. One of my dearest friends was a man who had been through a lot of similar things in his marriage and so... we really bonded.

 

So, it got to the point very early on last year where my Uncle saw how my ex-husband was treating me and so, he offered to let me move back in with him, which was the plan, until my very dear friend and I realized that we both wanted much more, we are now starting life together.

 

All I can say is WOW. I can't even tell you how beautiful life is, how different, things are really, really good.

 

So anyway, that's what's up right now in a nutshell.

 

Personally I'm just plugging away at work (back in banking) and about to start a new job closer to home. After the Rush tour is over I should be back in school by Fall semester.

 

Anyway, if anybody still reads this, wonders what's up, that's the super condensed version.

I would love to try to get into his pants.
