To those who made the very nice comments about my recent thread on the Girl from the Laundromat (real name Toni...) ....it meant alot to me... especially coming from those I have either met or talked to off the board...... the support I have received on this board over the last couple of years enabled me to finally move away from JW crap and on with real life. It is unlikely I would have ever had the spine to ask her out if not for your support. I would have missed out on a real treasure in this beautiful and intelligent woman in my life.....(and her son told his mom he likes me too... good start.... )
We are both a bit "concerned" (LOL) out on how fast this is moving, but thankfully we have built in brakes.... her 8 year old son, my school, both of our work schedules... but things are going well. She has gone online to find out about JWs.... she has asked a lot of questions.... thankfully she is not religious..... I promised her I would never go back to Dubville. I figure nosy local elders will attempt to be involved soon...her car is in my driveway regularly.....and the yokels pass by here regularly...... we are not hiding our relationship..... I told her if the local idiots try to overturn rocks they will get a DA letter from me and a polite demand to leave us alone.
She and I are very open with each other, know that there will be bad times to go with the good... are not blinded by the newness of it all.... we are both 40 somethings... (though I guessed her age waaay low... thankfully).... and had basically given up on finding anyone...... here is hoping it lasts.....
I am not posting too many updates for now (mostly I don't want to bore you all with all the pathetic sappiness......lol).... but I figured I would put up a pic of the two of us together.... its the only one of us together so far... ...her 8 year old son took it but its good enough for now....we will probably have a better one made later....
Snakes (Rich)...and yeah...that's my real first name...the fade is nearly over....come and get me buggers...lol
(if the pic is gone its because paranoia set in...or I deleted the link at photobucket for some other reason...)
I debated about posting this on this forum but in the end figured I no longer care what the local yokels think or do.
