Howdy latenighter! (heehee--wild west humor) Yep, I mean, "What does it mean?" Is it tan e lorn pete (which sounds like roadmap directions to a tan line) or tane lorn pete (which sounds like a guy who lived on Bonanza) or tan el orn pete (which is Spanish for a horny guy named Pete) or tanel orn pete (which is the son of a black woman named Tanel and this guy at the busstop named Pete) or tanelorn pete (which is a cousin of the jackelope and the critter's name is Pete) or WHAT!!????? It's driving me nuttier than I was to begin with! (and my friend, that is pretty nutty!!) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" /> Wearin' my sunglasses at night, CJ

Faith - I understand. It took me a long time to come up with the name.
Tanelorn is a mythical city in some Sci Fi Fantasy books by Michael Moorcock - it's the City of Peace that people journey to to find rest.
Peter is my favorite apostle out of the Bible - always putting his foot in his mouth, promising more than he could deliver, etc. I totally Identify with him.
So I put them together. Someday the idiot will find peace....

What an AWESOMELY cool name! I am so glad I asked!!
BTW, did you know that your real name "David" is a hebrew name that means "Beloved"? Gee--your very name means that you are precious and valuable. How cool is that??
Also, don't forget one kinda funny thing about Peter. He may have been a goof and put his foot in his mouth a lot and stuff, but he's also the apostle who got his butt up out of the boat and walked on water. Now, he's a human and saw the waves and got scared...but for a minute there, he was also a human who had enough faith to see beyond the storm, focus only on God, and walk on water. Not too many of us can say we did that!!

Not entirely "funny".
My children also were named very carefully. My son's name means "God is my salvation" and "Beloved" and I told him that I specifically picked his name so he would always know, even by his very name, that he was so dearly beloved. My daughter's name means "Crowned One" and "Light of the Valley" and I gave her that name because she is our princess, and she is the light of my life. Both of my kids KNOW their names and KNOW that they were named on purpose.
Oy, such heady discussions so late at night!

Well thats it, boppers...
The late night is calling me come close the window, pull the curtains, dim the lights.
But a soft voice in the back of my head keeps asking me to send a last bedtime thought for all you people out in your own lonely corners of the world.
Have you ever sat back and just wondered at how lonely our world has become. Imagine it. In a digital world like today's, we can instantaneously share our most intimate feelings - though we sit thousands of miles apart.
So why is it that in this age of unparalleled communication, that WS and BS alike seem to be lonely to our very cores?
I believe that it is because we have been sold a digital myth. We bought it without scrutiny from a marketing engine that is parasytic rather than giving, consumer based rather than community based. And It attacks our sense of values from across many mediums.
Reality shows lull us into a false sense of life experiences, calling us to watch others endure "valiant" struggle, while we pretend to have owned the same experiences. Not only are they not our experiences, their stories often contain socially engineered messages regarding appropriate human behavior.
We are being assaulted wholesale with Sex in the City, Temptation Island and Desperate Housewives style shows that elevate self-gratification at the expense of any who try to love us; to draw in and protect ourselves rather than risk truly loving another.
We engage in emotionally charged digital chat's with phantoms. Not our selves, but our super-selves. The ones who never smell from a hard days work, look like they need rest, stutter when they speak. On the modern internet, the frog can truly become a prince.
Brothers and sisters, we are not the only ones tiring of this great lie that is eroding the fabric of our society.
I am going to encourage you to break this self-serving trend tonight. There are alot of people in this forum having problems tonight, this week, this month. I want you to stop and think about some of the ones having bigger problems than you. Everyone know of someone else whos case is just a little sadder. Just a bit more difficult.
Rather than saying a prayer for yourself tonight, say a prayer for them. Then say a prayer of thanks for what you have.
Be good to yourselves.
We'll see you tomorrow!

Sprint - will do. Instead of praying for myself tonight, my prayers are for TM and CarenMC.

All I can say to Sprint's previous post is.....wow
That is so sad yet so beautiful.
And David, Thanks....

I guess I am the only vampire in the house tonight. I am starting to wonder how much vampire I have in me because I caught the flu late last week (I have never heard of a vampire with a cold), and been hacking, and snorting all weekend. Ah, but what a friend I have found in NyQuil. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Read this on a friend's forum.
He posted it as a joke for a common friend who is a BS in the miliitary.
It is the extreme form of "reverse babble" in counter to "I'm not in love with you, and I need my space."
Dear Audrey:
I know the counsellor said we shouldn't contact each other during
our "cooling off" period, but I couldn't wait any more. The day you left, I
swore I'd never talk to you again. But that was just the wounded little boy
in me talking. Still, I never wanted to be the first one to make contact. In
my fantasies, it was always you who would come crawling back to me. I guess my pride needed that. But now I see that my pride's cost me a lot of things. I'm tired of pretending I don't miss you. I don't care about looking bad any more. I don't care who makes the first move as long as one of us does.
Maybe it's time we let our hearts speak as loudly as our hurt. And this is
what my heart says... "There's no one like you, Audrey."
I look for you in the eyes and breasts of every woman I see, but they're not you. They're not even close. Two weeks ago, I met this girl at Flamingos and brought her home with me. I don't say this to hurt you, but just to illustrate the depth of my desperation. She was young, maybe 19, with one of those perfect bodies that only youth and maybe a childhood spent ice skating can give you. I mean, just a perfect body. Jugs you wouldn't believe and an [censored] like a tortoise shell. Every man's dream, right? But as I sat on the couch being blown by this stunner, I thought, look at the stuff we've made important in our lives.
It's all so superficial. What does a perfect body mean? Does it make her
better in bed? Well, in this case, yes. But you see what I'm getting at. Does it make her a better person? Does she have a better heart than my moderately attractive Audrey? I doubt it. And I'd never really thought of that before.
I Don't know, maybe I'm just growing up a little. Later, after I'd tossed
her about a half a pint of throat yogurt, I found myself thinking, "Why do I
feel so drained and empty?" It wasn't just her flawless technique or her
slutty, shameless hunger, but something else. Some niggling feeling of loss. Why did it feel so incomplete? And then it hit me. It didn't feel the same because you weren't there, Audrey, to watch. Do you know what I mean? Nothing feels the same without you. Jesus, Audrey, I'm just going crazy without you. And everything I do just reminds me of you.
Do you remember Carol, that single mom we met at Pontins last year? Well, she dropped by last week with a pan of lasagna. She said she figured I wasn't eating right without a woman around. I didn't know what she meant till later, but that's not the real story. Anyway, we had a few glasses of wine and the next thing you know we're banging away in our old bedroom. And this tart's a total monster in the sack. She's giving me everything, you know like a real woman does when she's not hung up about her weight or her career and whether the kids can hear us. And all of a sudden she spots that tilting mirror on your grandmother's old vanity. So she puts it on the floor and we straddle it, right, so we can watch ourselves. And it's totally hot, but it makes me sad too. 'Cause I can't help thinking, "Why didn't Audrey ever put the mirror on the floor? We've had this old vanity for what, 14 years, and we never used it as a sex aid." Saturday, your sister drops by with my copy of the restraining order. I mean, Vicky's just a kid and all, but she's got a pretty good head on her shoulders and she's been a real friend to me during this painful time.
She's given me lots of good counsel about you and about women in general. She's pulling for us to get back together, Audrey, She really is. So we're drinking in a hot bath and talking about happier times. Here's this teenage girl with the same DNA as you and all I can do is think of how much she looked like you when you were 18. And that just about makes me cry. And then it turns out Vicky's really into the whole anal thing and that gets me to thinking about how many times I pressured you about trying it and how that probably fuelled some of the bitterness between us. But do you see how even then, when I'm thrusting inside your baby sister's cinnamon ring, all I can do is think of you? It's true, Audrey. In your heart you know it. Don't you think we could start over? Just wipe out all the grievances and start fresh? I think we can. If you feel the same please please please let me know, otherwise, can you let me know where the Sky remote control is?
Love
Dave

sprint, You are one twisted, sick little vampire! heehee! Okay, I realize that there are going to be some who find it offensive and all, but I get it, and personally I think it's HILARIOUS! Too bad we never used that vanity as a sex aid! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> I spit soda all over the screen on that one!! Are there any other late-nighters up tonight?? Sending out some hugs, vibes and spooky stuff to all you late-night, Art Bellers! CJ

lol CJ I almost died laughing when I saw that. My friend Andy loved this girl, and she took him to the cleaners. He's one of the funniest guys I have known though. Seeing him laugh again is worth the social faux-paux. Glad it gave you a laugh too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

'Nuther vampire here....
I've been up most of the day, but never get to sleep till late - too used to my shift. Sprint, that post the other night (was that last night?) was so great that I stole it and posted it all over the place - hope you don't mind. It meant a lot to me.....
Feeling weird tonight. Nobody here but sleeping kids, and music playing. Actually (and I HATE to admit this, but it's been so GREAT with WW gone! So peaceful and calm!) Just have to get this house cleaned. When she moved, she just threw everything she didn't want into piles, and I'm still sorting. Gonna rent a truck and tow it all to the dump and get all new furniture. Gonna decorate this place into a HOME....

Funny. In ways I have moved on here too. Not leaving marriage. Leaving antagonisms over the A behind me.
Threw that yoke off. It was too big for me anyway.

Topic #1: The Toast Alrighty then...it is agreed: Valentines Day toast here on the late-night thread hosted by sprint. I shall bring one glass of White Zin for a moment of "adultness"! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> I am bad at time zones though...11pm CENTRAL?? That's 10pm Mountain, and I'm not even in my jammies by then! Topic #2: Ten Good Things about Being Single Okay--sprint I know you are not single, but get into the spirit of the post and you'll see what I mean: 1. I can leave my shoes in the middle of the room, and no one yells at me. 2. I can wear Patchouli oil BECAUSE I LIKE IT!! 3. I can wear sweatpants and no one tells me I look fat in them!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> 4. I can decorate my house in RED if I want to! 5. If I am in a funky, freaky mood, I can pop on some Sara Evans country music and I don't have to explain. 6. I sleep in the middle of the bed. 7. If a snore, no one pokes me in the ribs AND I get a good night's sleep. 8. My home is peaceful and respectful. 9. I can belly laugh until my sides hurt. 10. I can stay up late and no one nags me to wake up at 5am and be cheerful!!! CJ

You know, Sprint, I read your last post, and at first was totally shocked - but all the sudden it hit me in the heart. That's what it's all about. I love my Wife. I always will, until the very, very end.
Thanks again, even for the rather shocking material. You are one sick, but special individual...
David
