Convictions or Reasons - which come first?

by nicolaou in

it's obvious right?

your convictions are supported by and dependant upon your reasoning and evidence.

what kind of person would choose a conviction first and then hunt around for evidence to support it, all the time ignoring any sound refutation and evidence which countered their cherished belief?.

i can't believe 6 years have gone by.

geeze, i figured i'd be in the new cistern of tings by now.......

I am glad you are not in a cistern and are still with us. When I started lurking here I used to look up your posts to see what the latest thing was you had written. You, Blondie, Terry, Gumby , Outlaw, Warlock and of course Mouthy. Boy, things here were so different even a year ago, I can't imagine what it must have been like 6 years ago.

Glad you stuck around.

so, our circumstances are changing somewhat; a few personal things here and there and a few business things, nothing traumatic.

except this, our time is becoming more and more limited.

we are home less and less.

How do you start over again when marriage ends?

by Bubblie in

i have been married a long time over thirty years.

my husband says he wants doesn't want to be married anymore.

he left dubs before me.

That lead to some serious Man Ho'ing. (Not with actual men -sorry BFD)

Dayum, Padre you big tease!

Bubblie, I was in a LTR for 17 years. After we split up I jumped head first into another relationship that lasted 5 years but, we never lived together. I used to jokingly call him my rebound boy. I wouldn't recommend starting a new relationship so soon.

Now I have been single for about 5 years. It took time getting used to being alone as I was "married" since the age of 19. When I first found myself all alone I made some huge life changes. I quit my job and drove around the country for a while with my 2 dogs. When I returned home I sold my house and re-located to a different part of the country. That was about 3 years ago. I don't think I will ever find myself in another relationship although I won't totally shut the door on the idea. It's just that I don't know if I can find the patience to put up with anyone's shit anymore. Color me jaded and a smidge bitter.

I do get lonely at times and when things are not going well I miss having someone to hold me and comfort me.

Welcome to the board and the best of luck to you. I know it's not easy to feel that sort of rejection.

pell grant is a federal grant for low income people that wants to go to college but doesn't have that much money to support it.. ok, here's my story.... my ex makes good money...i get divorced but they still use the "last" years tax...meaning, even though i'm not "making" that money anymore "too bad".. i've been in college for 2 1/2 years now, ending my first degree, signing up for my ba.... i was just approved for pell grants and "other" federal assistance for college!!!!!!!!.

i've been after them for 2 years and it's finally arrived.... what does that mean for me????.

my loans won't be 15,000 per degree but rather more like 4,000....i don't have to worry about buying my books anymore.
