Quoted from LTG:I'm not going to tell him what he wants to hear. I'm going to tell him what he needs to hear.
He ignored me for a year. We're good now.
Confess long ago I was in a situation like that.
My uncle was telling me stuff I did not want to hear, and I did not have anything to do with him for several years, and now we are good.
The whole thing was I was 30, and I had a very fun petite girlfriend, which was all fine and dandy, until my uncle found out she was 45, and then all hell broke loose.
He was a broken record with all the "she is too old for you" crap. Drove me nuts.
Last straw was he banged on my door, and woke me up to give me the phone number to a girl more my age.
Pissed me off and I had nothing to do with him for maybe 5 years.
After that I have just always learned when my uncle asks how old my girlfriend is, I just say same age as me.
Confess I have always just got along better with people older than me.
I have always been about 20 years older myself than my actual age, from all those years working 120 hours a week. (for myself, I have never had a 9-5 job working for someone else my whole life).
The girlfriend that was 15 years older was the oldest I have ever dated, and that lasted 5 years.
The youngest I have ever dated was 2 years older, and we shared the same birthday, which was cool, but only lasted 2 months.
The rest have been 6-8 years older, and I normally make it 5 years with them.
Confess I just never wanted any kids myself, and I knew that when I was in my teens, seeing how things go in life.
Confess that was one good thing about dating older ladies, they could not have kids anyway.
Confess that my girlfriend is driving me nuts telling me about how her Mom is driving her nuts all the time.
Not trading her in anytime soon though, she is awesome as far as so much in common and she enjoys all the same stuff I do.
Hell, I read on here all the time how so many guys wives will not even play any pins, have no interest.
My girlfriend asks me all the time, "are we going to play some games"?
I think she is on year 4 now. And she is AWESOME!
If suddenly I found out I only had a few months to live, I would make a new will to include her, my current will was made 30 years ago.
Confess I have even thought about adding her into my business (incorporated), so that she could take care of that stuff and keep having a income if something happened to me.
BUT!!!!
Sometimes when I am trying to talk more serious, she is in her own la-la land with her Mom stuff, and I am like really, can you drop all that and listen to me, so that if anything happens to me, you can have a good life carrying on all I have started.
No, I am not wealthy. I however am very frugal, and know how to have fun, without being stupid and spending a lot of money.
Flying? Hell no, not flying anywhere, dealing with all that crap and rules. (confess I hate rules).
The cost of a airline ticket buys a lot of gas and motel rooms and you can plan to check out a lot more places along the way.
Confess if I ever just planned to stay at the same place on a trip for several days a plane could work, but I am not like that.
Back when me and a friend was going to drive to CA, to go to the 2 Six Flags parks there, another friend said that is a long drive, why not fly?
I said well, at first we are going to go to the Six Flags near LA for a couple of days, and then drive up to the Six Flags near San Francisco for a couple of days, and on the way back we are going to stop at the Six Flags near Dallas for a day, because we have been to the Dallas park, and we liked it and want to stop there again.
I said ok, if we just flew to LA, and then had to rent a car, or fly again, to also do all this other stuff, I think that would cost a whole lot more than just driving. (that friend shut up).
Confess when I go on a long trip I have 2 big suitcases, with all I need for the trip, and 2 big coolers of beer, to make it through the first few days, until time to fill those coolers up again.
No way in hell am I paying bull crap airline baggage fees to fly my beer coolers, and they are a must have!
And what was my point with all this?
Confess I forgot what the point was.
Quoted from swampfire:And I confess that I’m happy this thread hasn’t been moved to the basement yet. But if it did, I hope the regulars would follow it down there.
If this thread ever gets moved to the basement, I completely hope it has nothing to do with my posts.
Confess I try to behave here, and even type stuff like bull crap, instead of what I really wanted to type.
I 100% know how you feel.
You had a vision for a awesome topic that you could forever just enjoy reading what others would post.
Confess I cheated with the funny captions, because I wanted it to succeed so much so I could always be able to see what others posted and enjoy all that.
Most every topic I ever started did not go far, and hell no, not looking for attention like starting a owners club or anything, just looking for some fun stuff to read, look at.
(and when I bring up the attention, and owners club stuff, I have seen plenty of arguments about which was first). (just seems like a race here to start the next owners thread).
As far as what I said about cheating with the funny captions, I sent some emails to friends, with good stuff for them to post, instead of it all being my posts.
Confess when I wake up in the morning, or the crack of noon depending on how many Natties I had, if I see 10 new posts in Funny Captions, and 2 new posts here, I look here first.
Your thread is the best!
And back to the basement stuff, for a while I was afraid the funny captions was going there because of some posts.
Just like you, confess I did not want to see it end up in the basement.
Confess I had some good stuff to post, that I would not, until I found the "lets close this thread down" thread in the basement.
After being on here forever and no one ever told me about that. Yeah, thanks Force Flow!
So many on here hate the moderators, and I have been warned a couple of times, but DAMN they have helped me so much!
For the record I have never gave a thumbs down, never hit some report button, and I never will.
I am a whole lot of things, but a tattletale I AM NOT!
Confess a few times people I liked like o-din, I was always thinking and sometimes even sending him a pm to please chill out!
I really miss o-din and who-dey.
Confess if anything ever happens to LTG, I would be very sad and it would be hard to be here.
More than anyone, LTG is the best!
Helps others all the time, tells AWESOME stories, and all over the place giving AWESOME advice!
So down to earth and honest also, with people asking him stuff about have you been to this game room, and he says I operate a game room. and that is the last place I would want to take a vacation to.
I LOVE PINSIDE!
So many awesome people here!
Confess a long time ago I did enjoy the show us your game room thread, until I seen so many nice fancy pics that made me feel 3rd world with what I have.
Confess I have not checked my lottery ticket yet, I buy 2 a week, but if I ever hit that I will be able to post some fancy pics also.
In the meantime I am HAPPY!
And I hope ALL of you are having a AWESOME WEEK!
(confess I am not going to read all this, and fix any typos, too damn long).
Confess I think it would be funny, to start a topic and it be blank, like the funny book called sex after 50, and a thick book, and all the pages are blank.
I enjoy funny and creative stuff.
Got to get in bed now and crash for the night.
In a few short hours my alarm clock will go off with Robin Williams screaming "GOOD MORNING VIET NAM)!
