Good News!!!

[58corvette]

I have been writing a few longer threads on this Site & they are not getting lost or blanked out. So that helps my Frustration with Computers & this Site right now. I dont have to feel so rushed to write & express myself.

BABY STEPS!!!! Thanx Again Everyone; maybe there is still some hope for this Middle Aged LOST Man after All!!!

[Waiting]

That is great 58corvette!

There is always hope, even when it seems there is not

[58corvette]

Always good to hear from ya my Friend; Hope things are going Well!!

I am trying my best to keep that Pilot Light Going.

That is what I refer it as when im in Survival Mode. I think that is why my kids look up to, Depend on & Respect me. Cause we have been through quite a bit together & I always kept them afloat, never gave up & always tried to have Hope.

This one is definitly Testing me to the Limits; & the Older I get the tougher it is in many ways.

[shanrucas]

Hey Corvette, I think that you are showing extreme patience beyond anything I could handle, you are not lost at least not here. Keep it afloat and we will help you keep that pilot light lit.

We are all having up and down days my friend.

Down day now myself..but I have to remember personally the words I say on my up days lol.

Keep hope alive. We must.

I am glad the computer is working for you!

[58corvette]

Thank You so much;

I guess I spoke to soon; I just wrote a reply to you both & after hitting Prieview Button it is Lost Again. : ( So I will try again.

I slept to long & woke up Down. Both my Twins Texted me to see how I am doing, so thats good; Though Embarrasing & Shameful. I wish as their Dad I could be better.

Now i am feeling Rushed again to Write this Post; So thats Not Good At All.

Anyway I stepped on piece of Glass (My Oldest Son removed it) Opened up Computer; Saw that Another Job did not hire me. : (

Then I saw my Messages from Everyone Here.

Shannon Thank You; Means a lot to me.

Randomperson; I hope your Day is going better. You are Correct; "We Must Keep Hope Alive". People like us Deserve a good life. I say that because I truly believe all we want is the Best for Others & Ourselves.

Anyway I wish I could Write Longer & Not Feel Rushed Again.

Thank You Again. Sincerely Jim

Hmm.. I think it sounds like a browser issue. Have you tried not hitting preview rather submit. That is what I do and often it tells me to re log in I do and it still posts.

I am having up and down days, more than I like. Something good happens perks me up, then something bad happens brings me back down. I know I shouldn't be so easy to sway but it is tough to break that habit.

Just last month we had about 18,000.00 worth of things that broke down that had to be fixed. I like stability.. and too many things are uncertain.. unstable in my life right now. I do still hold on to hope though. More some days than others lol.

I still say if your not finding something, why not start you own business?

What state are you in? I will do some networking, not sure if I will hear of anything but couldn't hurt.

[58corvette]

Thank you for your reply;

I have tried both preview & or Submit. Does'nt matter same thing happens.

Sorry to hear of your $$ losses. I to like Stability; unfortunatly I have none at this time. Especially me not being that confident or Stable; does'nt help.

Never really thought about my own business; although I have thought about my own Hobby Sport Shop; Or Storage Business. But it takes Money I dont have. Bad Credit right now to.

I live in Southern California.

[randomperson]

I know a good friend in Vegas that might have connections, would that be too far?

Don't know many people in CA.

As for a business I was thinking of something small just to bring in extra income.

Like handy work, re selling things via phone, cleaning houses, or lawn care, even baby sitting.. things like that

Stuff that wouldn't require a ton of money to start or keep going.

I sent you a PM a bit back I made my own product and have a ton just sitting around, your welcome to try selling that if nothing else. It is not junk I have sold it in major stores before, and it sold out even.. it was just at the height of the economic downturn and I didn't have the time to put into it for it to really take off. Just trying to think of things that might help

[58corvette]

Randomperson; Thank You

I believe you truly are a very caring person of others & I truly appreciate that. You know the truth is right now if I had my act together more & Motivation & Confidence I would be doing exactly as you have mentioned.

That is part of the reason I am on this site though; I suppose. At some point I have to figure things out. I have become to Lazy, Unmotivated with very little confidence. At this point it will be Sink or Swim.

I am just so Tired of Everything at this Point & Obviously not thinking Straight. When I moved back to be near my Children I moved away from Laughlin NV. I worked in a Casino. Besides my Lonliness, I had to watch my own Addiction to Gambling. And my hours were all over the place & business was going down so I was working less hours also.

Needless to say all these factors & my Oldest Son's Troubles brought me back. I really dont want to move away Again. Just Curious though your Connection in Vegas what line of work?

My Son is a Mechanic by Trade but do to his Troubles he does not have a Drivers Licence & cant get a Mechanic Job do to that.

When I was in Laughlin he never wanted to relocate there although he was considering Las Vegas which is 100 miles North of Laughlin.

Obviously it has gotten to the point where in our Situation you now have a Screwed up Father & Son Team. Believe me I feel like we have become to Lost Losers who cant get there act together.

Maybe that is going to be what it takes for us; the Streets. I know my Son will never get anywhere as long as he has this Addiction. And me Somehow I have to become Stable enough again to hold down & keep a Job.

Anyway I know I have rambled on about this. I just need to continue to let it out & try to figure things out. Thanx so much for your Help & Concern Again.

Sincerely; Jim

Your not lazy. Your hurt and depressed.. huge difference!

You have to realize depression does that.. gets your mind to thinking bad thoughts of yourself.. which then starts a negative looping cycle. If you can do whatever it takes to break the cycle as much as you can.

As for the guy in Vegas I am a partner with him in a way (long story) and it is media related business he owns. Point is he has a lot of connections, not saying he can help but I would talk to him and see.

If you want more details PM me. I have blurted out too many very private things in these forums I am a little nervous about giving details where random people can figure out who I am with a little research, silly huh lol. Not like I am ever going into politics or anything where it would matter.

I am so very tired myself. Hopefully in a few years we will both look back and say whew I don't know how God got us through that mess but he did.. and I have seen that happen many times. Right when you think it is over some type of miracle happens that changes everything. I am hoping praying for that for a lot of us on here! So many of us have one or two things keeping us down, keeping us from healing.

[58corvette]

Thank You for your Reply;

I totally understand your hesitation about giving to many Details. I to have given quite a bit of information & detail about myself, where I live & other Private matters.

By Nature I have become a very Private, untrusting type Person which has not really helped me to this point in time. But on the other hand I have been able to open up to People on this Site such as yourself as I feel Safer & more Trusting that I will not get hurt.

I just re-read your line about fear of Random People & the possibility of knowing to much about yourself. Again I completely understand. But I have to laugh a bit because of your own user name.

I will try to PM you & again Thank You so Much. Your Last Paragraph of last Message is so True & I to hope we are able to look back & Thank God we were able to get past a very tough time in All of Our Lives.

Sincerely; Jim

Yeah it isn't even that I don't trust everyone posting with who I am because I do. Just the fact that guests.. anyone can view these threads. One of the reasons we can open up to the extent we do is the fact that we are in a way each a 'randomperson' lol.

Kind of reminds me of the movie Joe vs the Volcano. He was uptight, nervous, worried just living day to day, then when he found he thought he was dying slowly he changed became someone different better. I think in a way we all expect too much from each other and from ourselves and it keeps us from reaching our potential and happiness at times. We are always afraid of being ourselves or accepting others who break out of the mold in a way we are not used to. In one thread recently Nathan mentioned going up and talking to people you have never met before, just walking up to them in everyday settings starting a conversation. Brilliant, but so difficult to do. I have a few times with mixed reactions.

[58corvette]

Very Good True & Insightful;

I guess that is why I miss working with Children So Much. When I worked at School District. I love working with Children & It was Mutual. I still Hope to one day again.

They are so Open & many times Uninhibited by Life itself. As we get Older & So many Factors Change our Outlook; it is Sad what we do as Adults to each other.

We can learn so much from Children as they with us & our own Life Lessons, Knowledge & Wisdom. Again Balance with everything & everyone.

.. that is one of the main things I hated about all the dating web sites. People trying to be something other than who they are. It was so fake and you could tell it. Many women on them even were cocky enough to say on their bios if you don't have anything interesting to say don't bother writing, I won't respond to hello how are you, or things just as arrogant. So many of the bios read like resumes from people fresh out of college with no real world experience. So many of them you could tell was looking for perfection and nothing less than perfection.

I bucked the system, questioning that line of thought in my bios, also saying I would write anyone who wrote me. Might be one of the many reasons I didn't get much interest from women on those sites lol.

I had one woman write me saying 'at first I was not interested in you because I was not attracted to you.. then I realized it was your shirt'.. this was my average experience on those sites (if they even wrote back)!

I actually went on one date with her too. She was *cough* a success for those sites. She ran 30 minutes late on the date.. was getting the oil changed in her car :/

[58corvette]

I just wrote you a reply but took to long & you guessed it Lost it.

Anyway; You had me Laughing & Relating. Are you sure were not the Same "RandomPerson".

I have had the same exact experiences & feelings on these dating sites. I am still on one where I am Totally Honest about myself & Current Situation.

Needless to say I have not received One Single Reply. It is Hilarious. And that's Ok cause as I state on that Site; The Best Way to start any Relationship is Honesty. Funny they ask for that; but when you give it to them they dont seem to like it.

Just like so many of them State "No Drama"; yet they have plenty of it themselves? To much of a One Way Street. Anyway im sounding Biased I know. And im not but it is A Joke in so Many ways on them Sites.

Thanx for the Laugh & I certainly Relate. Good to Know im not alone in what has Happened to me on these Dating Sites!!!

[randomperson]

Trust me we are not the only ones. Those dating sites for the most part are broken. Talked to a lot of people men and women about it in the past.

[58corvette]

My e-mail shows your message to be much longer; but the site post is short?

Anyway I know I tried to hold on to the same Women for years (My Ex) & it just did'nt work.

That in know means doesnt necessarily have a bearing on your own Personal Feelings & Decission's.

So all you can do is continue to Try & Hope for the best possible outcome. The Best To You. And thank You so much again for your own ongoing Help & Support for me & my own Situation!!!
