I have no idea if this is the right forum to post this but this is the place I had my life saved. I haven't the time to give all the details but I have been on here since oct 1999, member #3000something. Anyhow, after losing my mind and going through the pain and life change I am on the otherside and living the hope I only dreamed of. This weekend I am going to propose to my girlfriend.

She is the woman I have always wanted, 100 times better than my ex. Funny how God takes care of us if we give him time and get out of his way.

I have been using the tools set forth in the concepts, POJA all that stuff. It does work when used properly.

Those of you in the pits of despair, fear not because these trials will strengthen you if you choose. They will also destroy you if you choose that.

Anyhow I am in love and she in love with me and Imma get married.

Great big Congratulations to you!

I think we started the same time. I am divorced and happy in a new relationship and in love with someone who seems much more suited to me too. Not ready to take the big plunge though.

I wish you all the best. Its so good to see oldtimers come back with good news.

Hi, I remember you too. Nice to see you have rebuilt your life and that there's a lady smart enough to appreciate you and all your relationship skills.

My "old" puter took a nose dive after a power spike and I lost everything. Email contacts, company records, you name it.

This is great news and I couldn't be happier for you. Bud, you def deserve it.

Oh and um... I never got christmas ornements from Cinderella. What's up with that?

E me you Putz, Moose7771@rcn.com or I will hunt you down and kill you. Just kidding, I know where you are, I will just kill you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

So, Bill, what did she say? Huh? Inquiring minds want to know!!!!!!

And, did you really make the ring or did you have it made?

Tim, uh, I guess I forgot something. Uh, I guess you want some cranes? How many? Email me at cinderella4mb@yahoo.com. I was sort of depressed this fall. Not sure why. It got better though. Then the bottom fell out of my life but not out of my emotions this time.

My word look at all the names of old!

Congratulations Bill, well deserved.

I've come along way, perhaps some day I can fill you in.

Congrats WilliamJ...

I'm also from the same time-frame. I'm "Happily Divorced", raising my two girls, and engaged to be married to the most beautiful, smart, well-adjusted girl in the whole world....

Too often, people try to salvage something just because it's familiar. I tried for years, realized I wasn't happy, wouldn't be happy, couldn't be happy living in such a dysfunctional relationship..I divorced her (she was the WW) and haven't looked back since..
