Thanks Mark.

 

G'nite

 

Just be patient Jacob. Sometimes friendship can develop into something else. You'll be suprised at where you will meet someone or how a relationship can develop. Just be yourself Jacob.

 

jacob part of the reasons so many relationships are crappy, end in divorce or just are plain wrong all together with no hope is because we have this mindset we HAVE to have someone. It is the norm. Well don't be normal as the world sees normal. Be different wait for the one who you are "supposed" to be with and she is waiting for you to find her. You will just totally know when she is in yor life. there will be no second guess no let down etc.

You need good friends so keep the friends around. Do not see everyone as a spouse. Do not picture growing old with each one because should it fail you will feel like a failure. That is so far from the truth. The relationship ran its course. Nothing you could do or say would or could save it. Learn from it and move ahead. Quit looking because once you do you will find it and love will find you. You will find love in the least expected place. It will be so amazing on your heart you will truly fill something you have not felt before and it will be real.

You look absolutely like man candy and she was beautiful. Just not the girl you are supposed to spend your happily ever after with. Just take life one day at a time. Enjoy what you are blessed with. Dont just "jump" because you may follow head not heart and end up with mrs wroing and mrs right will be sitting alone at the bus stop in the rain, her mascara running, cars splashing water on her, her subway sandwich stolen by a rabid dog all because you were with some person you were not meant for when you were supposed to see this beautiful girl waiting for a bus and you see its ready to rain and the buses do not run that day but she doesnt know it and.......well you see just be patient and wait. Let your heart be your compass.

oh hell I did it again start talking about love and suddenly Im ready for a publisher

 

Long story but to make it short, it's the wife's ride. We were looking at trading for a new Expy and the MSRP was around $54k. I could have gotten it for right around $42k. My in-laws had the Denali they'd bought new and it only had 16,000 on it. The KBB on it at the time was around $36k. Dad-in-law sold it to me for $20k. To good a deal to pass up and it was what my wife wanted anyways. Good enough for me cuz I still got my baby and it's what I drive daily. Now I will tell you that the Denali is pretty sweet. It's the new body style and has it all...heated front and rear seats, DVD for the kids, rear captain's chairs, you name it. Took it to FL in November and got just a tick over 20MPG.

It's the Mom mobile and I rarely drive it but she likes it and that's what counts. Plus it's grey with black leather...nice (for a GM).

 

I dont wanna speak for Jake, but I dont think he is looking for a wife.

Dating different people and having various g/f's, IMO, in high school is important. Then you can see what type of woman you wanna be with, what you like and dont like, and in general have fun with different women.

 

I have taken Tin-man's new logo for me and added it to my siggy for all of you...enjoy!

And, after all the donut crap I've gotten, I expect some rep for adding it........J/K

 

good eveaning

 

John- Denali's are nice.... BUT you can get all those thing in an excursion... Plus the world greatest motor! Or even a 6.0L LOL. I understand about getting the wife what she wants... Anyways i figured we picked on ya for being a cop we might as well get ya for the chebby!

 

If the wife is happy AND you saved $22k... AWESOME!!! Denali's are very nice and are definitely easier to park. They're like the Expedition, right? Size-wise, etc.?

 

Goooood Morning. Absolutely beautiful day here in Cedar Rapids today.

Check out my view from my bedroom window, taken about 15 minutes ago:



I agree with this but I also think there are several other wrong reasons people stay together and get married.

I think a lot of people get married because they confuse lust with love. Heck I've made that mistake before. I never got married to the man but, I confused lust with love. There is a huge difference. You never know love until you experience it, and its confusing.

Jacob has lots of time to find the right one, but I understand how he feels. He doesn't want to waste his time with a girl who isn't right, when the right one could be out there waiting for him. I'm not sure if I am old enough or experienced enough to give advice, but If I had any it would be just to relax and take it one day at a time. You'll know when you meet someone special.

John don't listen to these guys' crap.

I've made it very public that I am an equal-opportunity car lover, and I think all manufacturers make some good cars. On that same token, all manufacturers make some crappy cars too.

Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Nissan, Toyota, Honda,...whatever...doesn't matter. It matters what the car is.

 

Hey y'all!

Feeling good today after a much needed good night's sleep. Partying for three days is rough...

That weather looks good, Lisa. It's getting ready to break loose here in Willis. It's dark and I can hear thunder off in the distance. We were going to go and look at a few houses today but maybe not now.

 

Excellent picture!

Also great advice. Too many people worry too much about too many things, when relaxing and taking things as they come makes life so much easier!

 

Its only rough if your getting old man.. haha jk

 

Good Morning All. Looks like it's going to be a nice day here as long as the clouds break. Off to church with J-L. We'll catch up later.
