The boats that you've posted are lovely, and they have purpose. Your interest could, of course, surpass mine in that you'd know exactly what you're looking at...............
Recently, I heard it said "life is a marathon, not a sprint". I left Los Angeles in 1999 in search of the quiet life that I have here in the desert. I'm very happy that I've found Jigidi; seemingly, the perfect outlet.
John, I think we're much alike. But, feel free to complicate my life a little. :-D
It took you 3 tries to find that out, Sue!! My relationships had "run their course" and I count myself lucky that they were both lovely girls. The latter was my favourite and will always hold a love for her. Although I was the one who ended the relationship it has taken a long time to get over her.
It seems that I've, pretty much, managed the reclusive life as I like things to be as simple as possible. After my operations for cancer, over 4yrs ago, I have become even more that way.
I realized that it wasn't for me either. :-) Although, I consider the marriages successful, in that they lasted as long as they were right for both of us. If you marry friends/people you care for, you don't stop caring for them when you stop wanting to live in tandem with them. I thought I'd try being a recluse, but no one will let me. :-))) "High places" that one, most assuredly, didn't fit my criteria for a "life partner". :-( Yes, my daughter Stephanie.
I'm not knocking marriage but it was not for me. You've certainly had a rich and varied life with friends in high places. Is it just the one, beautiful, daughter you have, Sue?
In that era living life in the "proper" order was all important. The first was my good friend and tennis partner, the Viet Nam Era/Air Force. My life never lacked for excitement! I have a beautiful, grown, daughter from the second one ( another good reason for legalization) :-) I was young and vain. The last one was the only mistake. The friends of each of us were convinced we'd never get the other to commit. He's a police chief, several of his officer's wives were my friends. To make a long story long :-), it was the silly season.
Hi, Hanne. We don't go on about our ailments too much. When you think you might only have a few months to live you don't worry too much about "the future". I just pooled all my money so that I could buy the car and then sold it when it was giving me more worries than pleasure. If I hadn't had cancer I would have never bought the car so..............clouds.............silver lining.
Millionaire?!!! I could only wish............. Good to hear from you.
Sue, the main thing I remember was the joke wall at the end of the show, where they open the door and tell their one-liners. It was so different to anything else on UK tv.
You have been busy on the wedding front! Serial, almost!! I never wanted to get married as I've always thought that I could have the same commitment without the ceremony - and the expense. A born cynic!! I had two long-term relationships (my version of marriage). I don't see my first partner but I'm still friendly with my second. There was no angst when we finished.
Oh I do remember you talking about this cancer of yours and that you survived - obviously - and had all the bills coming!!! I'm awfully glad that you are alive and I think that a lot of other people here share my opinion!! But I do understand you situation with the car! You have to be a millionaire at least to be able to drive one like that!!
The show had a section where everyone was dancing in individual boxes, and when the music stopped one of the dancer would say something witty, and then the music would start again. My world has always been inclusive, I never allowed anyone to tell me what "my place" was...married three times (black, white, white) my ex's and I remained friends. The first two began to play chess together, and would tease me by talking about my quirks in my presence.
i can't remember that particular sketch, sue, but rowan/martin's was one of the highlights of the tv week. thank goodness integration did catch on although not all of the way yet. will it ever get there totally?
you tantalise me by mentioning "true thoughts" - i just wonder.......................
If I told you some of my true thoughts, you'd think I was "mental", as you Brits say. My favorite Laugh In sketch was a Kentucky colonel (white Panama suit, gray goatee and hair) saying "if I'd known integration was going to catch on, I'd waited and married the woman of my choice". Hilarious, and very daring for the times.
I bought it 4 1/2yrs ago when I was diagnosed with cancer, Hanne! I thought that I would only be around for a few months/years so...................! But, bugger me, I'm still here!!lol. I enjoyed it for 3yrs but it cost a fortune to run so I sold it back to Porsche. Now I have a "sensible" car which still does the same job!
John it's a car for - "drengerøve" - grown ups being rather boyish - oh, how do I explain? Directly translated it's boy asses!! They may be 80 or 24 and they may be women too, it's just the same, they slobber when they see a thing like this!! Exactly as we did some years ago standing close to a Lamborghine something like this one and patting it!! Fabulous!
Still sounds good to me, Sue. I don't exist in these dull, short days. All we do at this time of year is to look forward to lovely spring. Good to hear from you.
Its not all sun and sand here. In the winter, there's often ice and snow, but always a frozen pool and spa. The seasonal weather is always the extreme. Spring lasts for a few hours, if you oversleep, you'll miss it. :-)
