Maybe you should chase American chicks. They are sweeeeeeet. Works for me. A bunch of them want to move up here and I can visit them any time I want. Plus, if that's all it took to break you two up, did this qualify as true love? I'm sorry for you anyway, but seems like it might have happened later over something else? I wasted 14 years on women twice, wish they would have dumped me right away, when all is said and done. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise, dude. Any way, speedy recovery to you.

But I ended that. I think with this last one the distance definitely played a factor. No worry though and life goes on, besides this just happened so who knows. But I am definitely out and about.

What a small world we live in now and so much irony to my situation. Yes a lesson learned on what we write and who we write about. One never knows who is listening. Things can definitely come back to bite us in the ass and I'm sure when more than one person has the same interest then situations can arise. But now I know as to who and where from.

Well are you going to enlighten the rest of us. I must have been travelling when all this happened because when I got home everything had changed in here... lots of regulars gone and things very quiet. Also Not Relevant had dissappeared so I guess it's all tied in together.

No it wasn't any of the regulars and actually was not a stranger. So it turned out not to be scary like I was originally thinking. But none the less we never know who is out there listening. Anyway I got in trouble as to who I was talking about here. The Not Relevant was getting out of hand so it was ready to go when all this went down. Anyway I know who this person is and where they are from. Pretty close to me too. Mainly it's my fault though. I do appreciate all the concern that WTR took to protect all of us.

It must have been quite harrowing at the time, like you had been violated in some way. All I can suggest is to stick to general stuff on here and if you need to discuss something more intricate do it via PM. That way only you and the other person read it. I do miss Not Relevant sometimes though, like on a wet Sunday afternoon! It always gave me a laugh.
