It's also interesting what makes people declare someone "good" or not. The guy who told you all the good people were in jail was clearly thinking of goodness in terms of loyalty and favors, not in terms of having the value of not causing harm to others. <br /><br />I laughed out loud at the comment about this sounding like an Earth version of the Mos Eisley Cantina from Star Wars.

As...Thanks, Fiona. It's been a ride fer sher! <br /><br />As a matter of fact, we did live apart on two occasions. Once for year and a half. Neither of us had any time to be single because we've been together since high school. She ran off to New York with the director of a film she was working on. I went wild.<br /><br />If you'd like to see the types of things I handled in the gallery, check out the very last OGG post of 2013.Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-37073355456758640582015-02-12T10:13:32.779-05:002015-02-12T10:13:32.779-05:00Yep, that's just what I was thinking of.

You've seen each other through all kinds of shit, and neither of you ran...you stayed. I'm always thrilled to talk to anyone who's been married longer than our 30 years. Gives me hope that this isn't a dream I'll wake up from some day, to find he's left me for 2 25-year olds. <br /><br />And wow! From food service, to bar-tending, to being a manager at a bowling alley, to owning your own art gallery? Like I said before, the folks on this site need to write their memoirs. You are an eclectic mix, but somehow all of you together works very well.

I had a double digit job on the first house I bought in 1978. Jeez. I think you prove the old thing about a bar tender being a practical and more effective psychotherapist. I often wonder what happened to the high flying people I met in Scottsdale in the 80's. Seems you've lived a good life an limited means-yes doing what you have to do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484640447109164744noreply@blogger.com
