Hi Wanda. Petawawa must be a pretty solemn place these past couple weeks. It's great to see a wonderful story of the group of military wives winning a bit of money.
I was looking through my yearbooks a while back and realized that Greg Bonter, the guy who helps runs the YBC bowling here in Kingston is a '82 BSS alumni.
Got my son off to residence at Ottawa U on the long w/e. He's taking Human Kinetics in hopes of becoming a high school Phys Ed teacher. It really is a neat atmosphere to be on campus. It's always nice to see all the students return here to Queen's each fall. They liven up the city. I guess we'll see what kind of Homecoming it will be this W/e. Last year was way out of control.

Hey Diane, long time no "see" I know I have heard so much about Ottawa U, great school and all. And here I was feeling old this week since my baby is turning 13 on Friday and you are sending yours out of the house!!LOL! Is your house a little more quiet lately? The story on the money.....just makes me happy. Petawawa needs a story like that......even when news isn't out there you know everyone is on pins and needles  |

Hi everyone. A little something for folks to think about if the 2007 reunion gets off the ground...beware!!?! My sister-in -law attended a reunion in Oshawa last June. She met up with a guy there who adored her from afar all through high school........never had enough nerve or confidence to talk to her or approach her. He would go to dances just to see her there. Well, he confessed to all this , at the reunion, they both found it adorable and exchanged e-mail addies. They chatted back and forth for 6 weeks.....initiated an affair....threw away over 50 years of collective marriage by leaving spouses, children and homes, bought a house together and were married this year in August ( we all had to blow on the divorcepapers to dry the ink that day!!) Just thought I'd warn ya.........

I knew a girl who talked to a guy for over a year online and finally moved to BC with him only to find out he was already married .She left her husband and kids for him only to have him put her up in a motel ..rob her and beat her.
You really have to watch now a days... I only chat now with people I have met in person. Its safer and I think if I have known them for awhile they are more than likely safe. I have a good read on people.
On another note ever notice when you have a weekend off its always terrible weather? but when you work all week its gorgeous out? Is it a conspiracy against people who dont have to work weekends? lol

I know a few people like that too and I often wonder what they are thinking...personally I think telling someone how you felt isn't t he problem but what the two do with it that becomes the problem. Can't be too careful especially when after so many years you aren't even the same person It was pouring this morning as I headed out to the gym but then cleared off and the sun came out for what? 20 minutes?LOL! First day of Fall I guess we shouldn't expect too much. |

It is weird how people seem to believe that then will be the same as now. I ahve seen enough relationships go sour over old loves and now wonder what the heck are people doing,not just to themselves but to their families
Fall is here and soon it will be winter,so as much as I envy those who get the nice sunny weather in summer I still enjoy it here,humidity is bearable. On top of that we have relatively warm winters with lots of self shovelling snow.On the odd occasion we get snow but it only stays till the next rain storm. Good in some ways but my little one likes the snow,I always tell her about Ontario winters and who knows maybe someday she will get the chance to live through one. As for online romance I am up in the air over that,I have been talking with someone for almost 2 yeras now but wonder how far it can go adn question whether we are doign the right thing for ourselves. Any comments on that subject? Take care all Darrell

Okay here is my 2 cents worth. You meet people in life(real or internet) and you make friends. Having friends in life is great. But as for a online romance with someone you have never met? How do you know if there is a connection or not if you cant see their face or hear their voice in different situations? Also what if you do meet and its not what you expected it to be based on conversations you have had? It's a touchy subject. And if you dont webcam with someone how do u know if they are really who they say they are. You might be talking to a man pretending to be a woman. Dont laugh its been done? No one wants to be alone in life, but is it really worth putting yourself out there when the person you have become close to isnt really someone you would talk to in real life?
Darryl I know you and I know its hard to carry on with life after all you have been thru, but I really believe there is someone for everyone and sometimes you have to kiss alot of toads to get to a prince or princess. Dont sell yourself short buddy, your a great guy with lots to offer someone. Now go and find her...

I have to agree here with Elaine.....you just never know.
I have heard of so many people being disappointed with the internet thing......but (don't kick me Elaine) I have also heard of people who have made it work out.
If after the phone calls and whatnot you still believe that it can work out....buy yourself or her an open ended plain ticket and see if you two are compatible or not.
Personally I think after two years it's time to see if you have something or another friend. You just wouldn't want life to pass you by wondering and hoping.........JMO!
You also have a family there to consider so it's not only you but them in this. It has to work for everyone.
Elaine is right though-don't sell yourself short.

Yes I have to agree that you dont know for sure but when do you ever?
There are no guarantees with love and long distance is no doubt the toughest. I have webcammed and talked with this woman so much on the phone that I know a lot about her. But and this is my hangup and I am not sure others would go through this. I am so fresh into this widowed stuff I wonder if I am not just jumping on a band wagon that I should avoid.
It has been tough these past two years since all of our friends have more or less abandoned me and the kids. Harsh yes but this is how it is. So I wonder if I am ready to love again or if I am just clinging to someone that I can talk with. I made the mistake of becoming involved to not be alone and did so without finding out if we were compatible. So 3 relationships spanning 19 years and none worked out. I decided that I want someone I can talk with and unfortunately I found that someone and she lives on the other coast. Maybe all we will be is good friends but I hope for so much more.
Leaving this area is part of my future and the kids know this and accept it. Most of the airforce brats will know that moving away is something that we all can adjust to. A visit is definetly in the cards but that is in the future.
Thank you for the comments and the support. Darrell

Darn!! kind of a mess! First of all I totally get where you are coming from but before I forget let me introduce you to my phone plan in case you don't have one!LOL! www.looneycall.com/Yep you can call and talk for one buck for one hour..I use it all the time even to my friends in the states. as far as your friend, I guess you will never know until you go out there and see her or maybe she can go out and see you? I know of a couple that has kinda the same thing happened and he bought here an open ended ticket with the agreement that if it didn't work out then she could go home anytime she wanted. It worked out for them in the long run. I can only hope you find the same thing someday.  Just don't settle.........  just because, you know? |

Hey Wanda
So sad about all these young men being killed, but as along as they are over there then expect more.
As for Thanksgiving.. we have our yearly Christmas/Thanksgiving with my inlaws that weekend. They go to Florida for the winter so we do it all at once.
I dont know if my training class is in on the Monday, but if we are it 25.00 a hour so Im all for it.
You know what peeves me all this stuff in the paper about Tie Domi and his seperation/divorce.... I want to smack LeeAnn Domi and tell her that their private life is their own and not all Canadians want to hear about it. Other than a few quotes in the paper the other day by Tie himself he has kept quiet and handled it with real class. She is the one running to the papers making it a public issue. Come on be like most women who get divorced... suck it up princess and find a job and get over it. You are only making urself look bad with all the whining and Im started to see why he might have cheated.. whinning isnt sexy.lol
Just my two cents.
