capitalCforcougar 16766 Report post Posted August 6, 2016 Experiencing the 'wrath' of an individual who is wanting to have a realatioinship with me.. and is actually *threatening* to 'expose' my side-business...(the fun stuff) because I told him I am not interested in him in any way, shape or form..... He is a fairly unstable individual.. something I have no need/interest in having in my life.. but I am worried he may be just unstable enough to carry out his threat.... ..........definitely something that sucks! (I'm not particularly worried at the building owner *believing* him.. I have scores of emails and things from this individual hounding me, harassing me... and now threatening.. so.... I do have some ammunition... but wow.... freaky little man!) 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest n*gu**6 Report post Posted August 7, 2016 I can definitely concur with and empathize with CapitalCforcougar's situation. My stalker is of similar mindset. She sends me scores of threatening texts andvl emails . Come to find out recently she has been driving by my house to make sure i am home and actually checked to make sure i was at the fire station one night. Total crazy because she has sone infatuation with me and she keeps saying if i keep turning her away she will ruin my life so i wont be able to have anyone. What is wrong wth people Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest n*gu**6 Report post Posted August 9, 2016 Just seems everything has had the wheels fall off it the last 6wks. Just one thing after another. Getting more and more difficult to be positive with so many negative things happening. Everyone has a breaking point and I think I'm nearly tripping over mine.

jafo105 39057 Report post Posted August 10, 2016 I am almost 50. I find myself looking back on my life and wonder where did I go wrong? I will skip the gritty details of my abusive childhood in the 70s. The important thing is that I survived. When I was a young man (1987) just starting out in life I had hopes and dreams. Like most people I wanted it all. I wanted: a career; a house; a car; a loving wife; children; a cabin by a lake; etc... I knew at a very young age, that it would take a lot of hard work and discipline, to get from where I was, to where I wanted to be. So I did whatever I had to. I took some courses. I worked overtime almost every week. I advanced up the management ladder with every company I worked for. I even did four years in the military. None of those jobs ever paid well. Not even the military. But I gave them my very best each and every day. I even did volunteer work for many years. I dated when ever I could. But nothing ever led to a meaningful relationship and nothing ever lasted more than four months. Some of those ladies remained friends even today. I never smoked, used drugs or gambled. But I did drink socially. I tried to be a good person. I treated everyone with courtesy, dignity and respect. Helped others when I could. I even went to church if I didn't have work demands. In 2002, I started having a lot of health problems. In 2009, my doctors decided it would be better to put me on permanent disability. With a great deal of reluctance, I gave in. When you stop working for health reasons your circle of friends shrinks dramatically. Faster than you can make new ones. Family was practically non existent. Dating becomes even more difficult than it already was. In 2010, I could not take it any more. I broke down and cried. I had not touched or held a woman in my arms since 2001. Not even a hug. I decided to take a chance and try an escort for the first time in my life. The lady I met was wonderful. She liked long hugs. A lot of our dates were spent drinking tea, chatting and lots of laughs. There was some physical intimacy and that was great as well. That was the best relationship I ever had with a woman to this day. She retired from escorting a couple of years later. Got married, had children and open her own business. Then Harper poked his nose in to people's bedroom fun. So I stopped hobbying. Then the cost of rent, electricity, and groceries went up. Actually they did not just go up... They skyrocketed!!! Every month is a struggle to make ends meet. Now I find myself sitting here today thinking. My life is half over and I have nothing to show for it. I have no career; I never married; I have no children; I don't care that I never owned a car or house -- they are just money pits; I am also the last person to carry the family name. -- My grandparents would be pissed! Then I realize that there is a bright side. Albeit very a very small one. I have no children out there wondering who the heck their father is; My debts are all paid off; I still have my best friend, ok so he is a cat. I am still actively searching for a lady to share my life with. I know that I am probably wasting my time especially if I am having problems make ends meet. But no one deserves to grow old alone. But the biggest thing that sucks, is knowing that I will never retire to that cabin by a lake. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PantlessKing 1050 Report post Posted August 10, 2016 But the biggest thing that suchs, is knowing that I will never retire to that cabin by a lake. I thought I would weigh in by offering some catharsis to your story, because being the glass half-full kind of guy that I am I wanted to share a story that sucked for someone else. One of my good friend's uncle was this salt of the earth kind of guy, he had worked his ass off for years in factories and did some backyard mechanic work on the side. He got married when he was in his early twenties and has been married for over forty years, has five kids and helped them with everything growing up and even for college tuitions. Much like how you were saying, since he was a young man he always wanted a cottage on the water where he would spend his retirement years. As luck would have it, he found his perfect cottage and it was within walking distance from a lake with a private boat launch. He buys it for a song and cannot wait to start working on it, as it was a bit of a fixer-upper it was still a ways off from being retirement worthy. This was back in the early 90s, so his two youngest boys ask him the second summer after buying it if they can take a few friends to the cottage for the weekend. He lets them. He told me he got the call from the police around 3 in the morning on the Sunday who explained that his dream cottage had caught on fire and that the fire department was still trying to extinguish the inferno. It only took 20 minutes for his dream to turn into a pile of smouldering ash. Aside from that, nobody was hurt. Food for thought! P.S: He owned a mint '67 Chevelle which his first son crashed it in a ditch and almost killed it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Prufrock Cummings Report post Posted August 12, 2016 Frustrated that after pre-paying for a Blu-ray movie at Rogers 5 weeks ago, I never got the rental in my saved videos On-Demand, and a half dozen phone calls trying to get the problem fixed and they hadn't mailed me my Blu-ray.. Finally, yesterday, 5 weeks less a day, the movie arrived. BUT - they sent me a DVD not Blu-ray. I will have to go to the post office, have it couriered back to Rogers, and continue the wait for the movie. I miss the old mom-and-pop video stores where you can pick up the movie box, and read about the movie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
