Welcome to my page. I am retired Air Force.
I am currently trying to complete two..........actually 3 books I started years ago. I collect antique books.....the great bards, sages, and muses; and will hand them down to my daughters somewhere along the line. I spend most of my time at State Parks.....writing...moving from one Park to another. Love the ocean....the solitude, and collect unique rocks, driftwood (small), and 'heart' rocks(small). I also collect certain Seagull feathers which I hone into quill pens.
I divulge my better self in my writing........ lingering often in myriad and varied ruminations. Am endeared to solitude....to capture the quietude and emotions of the moment, but have my loquatious moments.........as I love to tell stories. I am a listener...........and a seeker. I believe in Class.........not Crass!
I love all kinds of music, am an x-drummer, but with respect to my writing, I enjoy classical and opera. I do however love to jam (in complete privacy...don't ya know) to ZZ Top.....and I love Doo Wop! God Bless Music!
I am an avid reader....non fiction.
I have raised a couple of horses (gone now), but by no means a cowboy. I love all critters...except onry roosters.
Someday I hope to find a little cabin, either in the mountains or close to the ocean where I can have a place for my books and my writings.
I love good hard work, but am a Mr. Mom as well. I have 4 daughters (all grown......darn).
Miss them.
My home is where my heart is. I am in Love with Love..........(despite the hurt), and love this beautiful miracle moment called life. P.S. I love holding hands and little kisses that say you care. I am more of a giver than a taker, and dislike people who feel they 'deserve' to be waited on.
Blessings and Smiles to you, NAMASTE John

I understand what you are saying about the chat room. For ME i feel differently :) I enjoy meeting up with all my friends n just idle chatting even if it is just joking around. I have a great time. However a chat room is certainly not for all. Id be happy to sip some wine n have a chat anytime though :) My son asked me this morning for your email addy again... I cant for the life of me find it anywhere im ss. Also , wondering if you have any instant msgers? msn? yahoo? i enjoy those too as it gives a chance to chat with friends n catch up :)
hugs my friend

Believe me, I understand dark days. We've all had them and each of us deals with them in different ways. I just let them flow over me and then leave me. I don't want to wallow in them but I do appreciate them. We wouldn't have good days if it weren't for the bad ones. At the risk of sounding metaphorical, I have to say I've come to realize that all of the terrible things I've experienced in my life were placed there to make me stronger and more able to handle things to come. I don't know about you but I'm a bit of a political pessimist. I don't hold any stock in what humans promise or claim; especially the politicians and the media. I guess you could say I've become guarded considering how out of balance this country has become.
To change the subject, maybe next time you get an idea for a poem or any other form of writing, we can collaboratively illustrate your feelings. Put my talent to the test, so to speak. I would consider it a priveledge.
Well, I'll just take my foot out of my mouth now and hope my opinions haven't damaged our new found friendship.
Have a great day!
Robbie
Getting back to you on your letter again. Sorry 'bout that. As a matter of fact, I don't paint in the traditional sense. I don't use oils or watercolors but I do a lot of pen and ink, charcoal, pastels and whatever I need to get the effect I'm after. All of my tattoos are originals, so I stay relatively busy. I was also a photographer for 25 years prior to my tattooing. The first few years dealt with a lot of weddings and portraits. Then I went to work for the San Antonio Police department in the photographic evidence unit. I was there for 10 years and decided I'd seen enough. My husband worked in the oil-field and I didn't really need to work so I chose to stay home and spoil him. It was great while it lasted. We were married for 20 years but didn't have any children together. I already had two grown sons and he didn't really want children. So, it worked out well for both of us.
Well, I guess I've taken enough of your time for now. I'll write again later.
Robbie
Thanks for writing back and don't worry about writing too much, I enjoy reading about other people.
I'll look into the "Get Published" site and see about posting some of my tattoo work. Thanks for the info.
Please feel free to write anytime. We can all benefit from venting from time to time.
Robbie
Thank you so much for your compassion. It's almost 2 years since the hubby passed and it's getting easier as time passes. I've kind of gotten back into my solitude as well. I miss having a partner but I also appreciate the time I now have to concentrate on a part of myself I left behind when I got married. I'm an artist by trade (tattoos) and dabble in other mediums of art as well. You know how us artsy fartsy's are.
Again, thank you for your mail. It's most welcome. And keep the ink flowing (or the typewriter typing; as it were). I look forward to hearing from you again. Have a prosperous new year.
I dont think theres much you can do other than keeping the lines of communication open..talking about her feelings..and letting her know u are ok with whats going on...and u will always be there for her. Hopefully her issues with mom will resolve on their own. I dunno, my parents div when I was a teen and my mom went nuts with dating and completely ignored us and that was horrible. Teens still need their parents. Its a fine line when one starts dating again. Thats why I havent done it! lol Best of luck to you and your family.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Brenda
