Taschina 03-02-2005, 10:55 PM I am doing okay for the most part. Not in a relationship at the moment. Been having a good time reading the posts here at ageless and they have helped tremendously. So glad to have found this site. :)
Jo-Admin 03-03-2005, 04:45 AM Well, of course I am always around both sides..but I'd like to help jump start this side..and well maybe hang around over here where it is more calm! lol
Softiee, do you have any little pics of the baby?
Mera is on vacation this week.....so we will have to look forward to hearing from her when she returns.
Taschina..Im glad you found us! ((hugs))
SantaBaby 03-03-2005, 08:14 AM Hello
Yeah i was thinking the same thing, no new posts lately.
Well things are going great with my relationship. We just
talked last night & me & my OM are moving in together.
I'm having the time of my life, No more "what if this & what if that". Its great to be free of that.
Anyway congrats on the little one. I wanna see pics.
wvdreamer 03-03-2005, 08:57 PM I have been pretty busy lately...with work, church, and a baby on the way, I have been a little sparse around the boards. That plus there are six other forums I am actively in...I do stay active for sure!
foolforlove 03-04-2005, 08:07 AM I keep coming in and looking at all the posts but now my relationship is over I don't really have much to post about lately. Things are getting better with me now though, I'm feeling a lot more positive about the future, still hurting with the way things ended as they did with Paul but at least I'm starting to move on again now so things aren't too bad :D
SomeNightSW 03-04-2005, 08:19 AM PinkPanther & I are still together and doing fine. http://www.agelesslove.com/boards/images/icons/icon3.gif
We've been living together for about 10 months now. :D
joelstrouble 03-04-2005, 11:20 AM I'm very good I think,its getting really close to me being with Joel for the very first time... strangely I'm not all that nervous as I first was when he told me that he had bought the ticket, but I'm sure I will be in just a few days....ask me in two weeks, I will probably be stuttering in wrighting...lol
I feel very happy and loved so I guess I honestly have never been as good as I am right now, even I'm home from work with a fever and a head ache (the flu, I think)...
I have met a couple of new friends online that I plan to talk with while i'm sick, cause I have been working a lot lately and had very little time for anyone but my Joel...
This was addaed to my happiness yesterday, two from the same forums as I met Joel, is hooking up with each others in just 7 days, he is from australia and she is a russian living in UK. They will meet for the first time and he is staying for atleast 2 years in UK, maybe longer...(i'm a bit jealous... edit: a LOT jealous)
joelstrouble 03-04-2005, 02:57 PM hehehe... this was the wrong side for me to post...lol
awww well Hi ya all!!!
Softiee19 03-05-2005, 10:22 AM LOL! SO what??? its good to see you doing well!!! :D
I'm glad everyone is doing well actually!!!
I hope we can get some more posts on this side of the bored!
:)
I have been reading, not posting lately because I have been so busy with school.
I've been well. I am trying to make some final decisions about my schooling. G and I are good. We have been living together for a few months which has been great in many ways, but challenging in others. Not sure how much longer we will be living together, but that is a story for another thread.
Even still, overall I have been really happy . . . I am in a great place in my life.
:)
Softiee19 03-05-2005, 11:18 AM Moon!
Glad your doing good!
On the living together thing, not sure what your situation is, but I do agree with you it is very challenging!
I hope all is well with you!
Bob's babydoll 03-08-2005, 05:27 PM Hi all,
Bob and I are doing well. I was just out in Wisconsin, visiting him. We spent Valentine's Day together. Our next time together will be in May. We're looking forward to it. :)
My sister is in her fourth month of pregnancy. My nephew, Jesse is 21 months old now. He's such a pleasent little boy. We keep telling him he's going to have a little brother or sister, but I don't think he understands quite yet.
Other than that, I've been pretty busy working. I mean to come here more often, but I just haven't had the time lately.
Hope everyone is doing well! :cool:
~Michele
EllieMae 03-09-2005, 03:17 PM I hardly have time to stop by anymore. Geesh.
Me?
We're doing well. M got a new job managing an assisted living facility. I'm opening my own PS company soon and I'm 2 years from being a licensed therapist myself now.... but if the company goes off well, I'm just going to stop with my Bachelors...
We're looking at Russian Adoption. The agency we'd like to go through requires that you be married for 4 years, however. So we've got 3 years left.
Oh and here's the kicker, my Mom who disowned me when I first eloped out here.. Well she's my business partner and backer now.. we're closer than ever..
Things have been great. Busy, but great.
MerAlove23 03-09-2005, 08:53 PM Softee WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!!
Well me.... I just got back from Florida Today :) I went from almost 80 degree weather to like 10 degrees LOL.. ICK.... but happy to finally be home.... I was snowed in and my flight got cancelled so we had to fly out this morning instead.... My son got the croup LOL so the first 3 days were not easy.. but he is better....
My husband and I have been married now for a year and 7 months now... and my beautiful baby boy is now 8 months old.. happier than EVER!!!!
Keep em coming!!
I'm so glad to hear all these updates!!
tereska 03-14-2005, 01:03 PM Great idea, Softee!!
I've been real busy lately. I'm now four months pregnant, my belly is getting bigger and bigger. I also just finished the run of the play my company and I produced in San Francisco. It was exhausting but so much fun. I'm not working a regular job right now, so I'm spending more time writing music and preparing for the baby. Steve and I live in a great art loft in downtown Los Angeles that also happens to be right on skid row (it's arguably the worst neighborhood in America)--so we're thinking we might need to move by the time the baby arrives.
Anyway, things are good. I'm glad to hear everyone else is doing well also!

SummerBob 03-20-2005, 07:51 PM Hi Softie19. I'm here and we're doing great. We just got back from my parents' house in Maryland where my 9-year old is spending his spring vacation. The baby took his first steps the weekend !!
MerAlove23 03-25-2005, 07:13 AM Thats fabulous Kim!!! Nice to see you again...!!!
foolforlove 03-28-2005, 12:19 PM I'm doing a lot better now, Paul and I were in touch again but I finished things completely this time after feeling let down yet again and I actually feel better for it now. I no longer feel scared of being online and wondering if I'm saying or doing the right thing, I'm able to concentrate not only on my children but on myself too, I've always been right at the bottom of the list until now.
For the first time in many months I'm actually feeling happy and hopeful for the future so that can only be a good thing :D

slowbreeze 04-02-2005, 09:05 AM as much as i would like to, work seems to keep me away from reading the board. My own fault for choosing such a demanding career but hey, a vocation is a vocation. Just got a pay rise and am enjoyong chatting to lovely lady i have met on here,
datura81 04-07-2005, 07:46 PM Wow, all!
I just happened to think, gee, what happened to all my Ageless people? And here's a thread. It sounds like everybody's doing great, for the most part- Emcad engaged (!!!) MerA on vacation, SomeNight and PinkPanther living together, Softie had her baby....EllieMae starting a business....Tereska having a baby!
As for us two. Still together, still jumping the hurdles as they present themselves. I got a job in November at a great company (a LARGE company/corporation/what have you, I'm one ant of about 6,000 here) and I'm still learning my way around. I'm actually pretty jazzed to have a cubicle and be able to wear "work clothes," and at least I can park my car in the same lot as all of the Beemers and Benz's. Speaking of which I bought a car, which was exciting for me, still exciting in fact and probably will be until something breaks. During all of this re-adjustment I guess I was less than fully engaged in having a relationship, I started going out more with friends and didn't see him much and we grew more distant than we have been. Things came to a head, we had a mock one-night break-up, then decided we didn't want that and I think we've started to appreciate each other more fully again. His son will be moving in with him for good this summer, which of course didn't immediately arouse the most eager of sentiments from me, but I think it will be a good thing for him. He is more grounded, more scheduled, more....responsible.....having his son around. Although he also acts more like a pubescent boy without the temperament of other adults. I go through mad swings between wanting to go back to school and wanting to have a baby right this instant.....but I'm ready for neither. I still don't know exactly what I want to do with myself but at least I'm insured now. I'm getting slightly.....calm. And sometimes he looks at me very oddly and says how much older I've gotten in 2.5 years and how he must have been nuts back then.....and I think we were both a little nutty, but it's ok. It just is what it is right now.
P.S. Where's the little ninja babe? Who's seen her lately?
MerAlove23 04-07-2005, 09:11 PM Hey Dat!!!
Welcome Back.....!!!
I have not seen the Ninja bat anywhere :) Congrats on your new Job it sounds GREAT ... sometimes it's good to be the Ant that way you can do your job and go home!!! ;) I'm also glad that you and baker are still together!!! But you guys never lead a boring life so Why start now.. Enjoy the craziness!! :)
Uh, Dat, Ninja Babe here, :eek:
errrm, been a while, yes? Lots has changed, lots, lots, lots. I dated Tom (as you might recall, tom and i had a gap of 48 years, i think) for a little over two years and then I broke up with him b/c I realized we did have one major irreconcilable difference and it was really starting to get to me--and plus, he does still tend to over-do the drinking once in a while. Those things irked me so much, I just had to do something to change the way things were, or else it would have driven me to drinking, too. Anyway, we ended up having an amicable breakup and remain the bestest of friends (i visit him a few times a week), and I am so happy that he is still in my life because he is so important to me.
Then, funny thing, not too long after the breakup, I became reaquainted with that poetry professor that I had a crush on two years ago (i recall I wrote him down on the ageless list of guys I would want to do if I got the chance) when I was a student of his, and we went on like a few heavy-duty dates which really went really well-- a little too well--and then he, the professor, professed suddenly that he was emotionally unstable and unfit for a relationship of any kind. Despite this, Mr. Professor and I also remain the best of friends, and I know that I would definitely reconsider him in the future after he fixes his emotional screwiness and reaches inner peace. ;) It was a very strange thing to date him because he sucked as a teacher so badly, i mean, he royally was just an awful man, a pill of a teacher when I was a student, but there was something about him that made me see past it--i mean, besides his hawtness. I remember back when I was a student visiting his office twice to complain about what a crappy job he was doing (not in those exact words); you know, we weren't really close back then, really, but there was a certain unexplainable simpatico there that I never made anything out of because it just simply seemed ridiculous to make anything out of it. I assured myself that it was just a little teacher-student fantasy in my own mind and totally dismissed it as having absolutely no significance, especially when the guy tried to give me a D on my report card (later changed to a measly C). What kind of man gives the muse a D in poetry appreciation, anyway? I figured he just hated me like all of the other students he seemed to despise with a certain vengeance in the class. Once, my third and last visit, we held a long gaze which once again I convinced myself was meaningless. Anyway, a little over two years later, after some buildup, we both confessed we had a bit of a crush on one another back when I was his student. Strangely, it turned out that the man saved all my poems (not assignments for the class, was not a poetry writing class) and was a passionate fan of my work that I didn't know of. He has apologized for that D back then he tried to give me and now admits that was the worst teaching job he had ever done in his life because he was going through a divorce back then and completely screwed up teaching the entire class (and as a result of that divorce, he felt vulnerable and did not trust any of his emotions for me back then). Go figure. I had an admirer and didn't know it. It is a very strange thing to go on a date with a former teacher (17 yr. age difference). This is the first time I had ever done it, and it is so weird. He was so nervous on that first date, too--just shuffling his feet and fumbling with his hands and words, hardly making eye contact--and, believe me, it was the cutest thing I had ever seen! Here is a guy who is completely confident, way too confident, almost co*cky up in front of a class, and he gets all nervous to see me on a date after two years. Hilarious.
So, anyway, that thing with Mr. poetry professor didn't work out like I had hoped, so I am single. I am happy for the meantime. I believe I am better off this way for a while, as I think I need some time to sort my own emotions and feelings and other things out.
Oh, yeah, more....... I also quit looking for a job in marketing. The more I settled on crap jobs, the more I despised the business world and corporate america and its business practices, and the more I admired Tom's job (he being a biology professor). I just longed to be back in school, too. So, anyway, I am now filling in courses in the field of science so that I can gain entrance to the master's program in biology. Who knows, mebbeee someday I will do the whole doctorate dealy! The courses I am taking now are quite difficult, though, and this physics is especially challenging, but I think I can really pull it off. (complete tangential turn) Oh, which reminds me, I have more to say--I have my own apartment, too! It is a victorian studio apartment in a hundred year old house and it is the best place to live, ever! I lived with tom for 8 mo., then I moved out and found my own place to live. Okay, what else has changed....I was working part-time at a real estate office, but then corporate budget cuts cut all my hours out except for Saturdays! But the good part of that is I got to continue working Saturdays there and they had a going away party for me (b/c i wouldn't see anyone during the week). So, then I found a weekly job, but they didn't like me or my style at all, and, in fact, told me I wasn't "bubbley" enough and didn't have a sense of "urgency" in my work and all this other crap. Bottom line is: I do not smile excessively, I do not get worked up over pettiness, I do not kiss up, and I am no cheerleader. There were tons of things wrong with that company, one of them being I was getting hit on by some high ranking employees, but didn't say anything to anyone about it as I felt no one would believe me. Anyway, I eventually got fired from that position, which was a blessing in disguise, believe me. It is funny how one organization can think you just reek of awesomeness and another one can just fire you on the spot and show you no respect.
So...now I am jobless, except on Saturdays! But I am happy! And I am not worried about this because I saved my money wisely. I am thinking about it like a vacation for a month or two. Ahh, feels good.
Life is good. Final exams are coming up. I am freaking out over this physics exam. Got to get hitting those physics tomes!
Take care y'all, and Dats, we gotta exchange emails. I have your names on AOL and yahoo, but I never see you online. We should get back in touch.
I think it has been like a year since I last posted on here, maybe. :rolleyes:

Welcome Back
CabinFever 12-04-2005, 08:49 PM Hey all,
I'm still around - things are busy - more so than usual. I have a new job, and am still working on my thesis. I'm trying to adapt to working in an office again - it's been rough trying to drag my butt out of bed at 5:30 in the morning for the long commute to town.
I've fallen head over heels in love (too soon I know). I didn't think I'd ever feel this way again. It's been amazing - and continues to grow. I have so much going on in my life right now that it's hard to think straight sometimes. Things have happened so fast, and are so intense - it's all a bit disturbing for my typically very rational and orderly self. It's exciting though - I actually think I may have found what I've always been looking for. He's 19 years older than me, but our personalities are eerily similar and we have tons of other similarities in our lives. I don't know how it will all play out, and I'm trying not to think about that and just enjoy what it is right now.
By the way, it's so nice to check in here and see how everyone is doing. You all feel like extended family! :)
divine_ms_m 12-04-2005, 09:06 PM I'm doing okay - lots of adjustments in my life lately. I started a new job a couple of months ago, and while I like the work better, I don't enjoy my new work enviornment as much as I did the library. I AM enjoying the new car I bought though. :D
As for the YM…well, as many of you know, despite our mutual attraction, it looks like we're destined to be friends and nothing more. Yet another adjustment I'll have to make I guess. :(
I am looking forward to Christmas vacation (the university closes for the week between Christmas and New Years), and I hope to get some writing in and just enjoy the peace and quiet.
RobsGirl 12-04-2005, 09:16 PM I'm here. . .was scanning through our illustrious Ageless photo album today and saw some shots of people that have dropped off the radar! Whatever happend to that Diaper guy??
platypus_rex 12-04-2005, 09:41 PM Hi, I just joined the forum. I'm not in a relationship at the moment, but I'm looking to start one. :)
LADave 12-05-2005, 02:09 AM Doing generally OK here as I move toward the next big things in my life. I'm working and looking to get a better job than the one I have. As for relationships, I'm single and have my eyes open for the right So Cali woman. :)
bubbleee 12-06-2005, 08:04 AM Muse it's great to hear from you !!! Funny thing is we had a thread called where is everyone or so mething like that and someone mentioned you and asked where you have been.. I hope they see this...
I'm happy that your happy!!!! I wish i couldt ake a vaca for a month or so LOL your so lucky!!!!
Welcome Back
That someone was me, Mera! Muse it's great to see you girl! I loved your stories about your OM and his velcro shoes, creases in his jeans, etc. The fact that you had a successful 48 year gap with your bf was pretty cool, too.
You are witty and wise and I enjoy your posts!
Hugs,
Bub
