...Innovations come from people who have problems
...Creativity springs from people who are dissatisfied
...The biggest breakthroughs come from those people who face the most formidable challenges
...Great accomplishments are not made by those who say, I will start on this when I have the time
...Greatness comes from those who find a way to express it
...What is holding you back
...The easiest way is rarely the only way
...When was the last time you heard yourself say, NO MATTER WHAT
...Stop waiting until things are perfect, the obsticals will always be there, find a way through them
...Stop waiting for...if only... and start living, NO MATTER WHAT
Thoughts to consider
...enthusiasm is an inner fire that fuels the furnace of achievement
...if you make up your mind that you can do something, you're absolutely right
...persistence is the ability to face defeat again and again without giving up
SMILES,
Larry

Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you
You made me what I am and I am yours
My love, there's so many ways I want to say I love you
Let me hold you in my arms forever more
You have gone and made me such a fool
I'm so lost in your love
And oh, we belong together
Won't you believe in my song
Lady, for so many years I thought I'd never found you
You have come into my life and made me whole
Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear
In my eyes I see no one else but you
There's no other love like our love
And yes, Oh yes, I'll always want you near me
I've waited for you for so long
Lady, your loves the only love I need
And beside me is where I want you to be
cause, my love, there's something I want you to know
You're the love of my life, you're my Lady

The World Of "ELR"...As I know it...
|

Gosh...it's been nearly five yrs (4 yrs 10 mo) since I found this site. Yeah, I had a couple periods of abstinence for some work projects...but always found myself back after a short break. Call me whatever, I've always enjoyed the varied cast of ELR...I've visited all the various rooms several times and always felt more comfortable in ELR...DUH !!! (LO ...One thing I always liked doing was trying to play "interpreter"...when others spoke in various dialects, and not only those of the PI, but of other countries as well...actually (being the positive type guy I am) I never felt it "offensive" cuz I couldn't understand others, but rather thought of it as a free language lesson...and hey, what's more important if you enjoy chatrooms, than understanding language, even if it's slang chat...lol.
So I grew with elr for several years...and saw many changes...no comment on that, change is all around us each and every day...I accept it. But...hahahaha, and for those who know me...knew there would likely be a "but"...BUT, what I don't get is why the "atmosphere" of ELR needs to change for the whole...Personally, I don't want to ever censor another's "free will"...it's just a sad time when one visits with the intent to cause hate and discontent with others...people they do not really know, nor even care about.
It's not prejudice, hate, disrespect, or with malice I speak...only my special feeling I have towards ELR. In a way, it's like a fraternity...just over the past month or so I've seen folks who have been members here long before myself...that alone helps reaffirm the confidence in my choice of chat sites.
It's not a perfect world, with perfect people...myself included. Although I did have a "flash" thought...for a brief moment...that perhaps it would be best to terminate my membership here at fff...I allowed some personal feelings to become vulnerable..maybe a lesson for some newer chatters...BUT...I refuse to give up on something I've come to enjoy over the years, regardless of the negative influences.
I know I'm really "nieve"...it's my nature, I've had more than one experience where you would have thought I had learned not to be so gullible...not to take others for face value, not to give the benefit of the doubt, not to trust another for their word...BUT...that's just not me. I'm proud of the values, ethics, and morals I possess and portray, I don't ask others share those same characteristics...BUT...only that they respect them, as I do those of others.
ELR is a great place with great people...I know, without even meeting some...they are exactly as they present themselves...those are the friends...the companions and in some cases the "special one"...I've seen it, know of it...it does happen. It just so happens...this is why I insist on being a member here, and will always try to be a good "doorman" greeting others, opening the door...to a place where they would want to return...to enjoy a second "hello".
True story...I can remember quite some time back when a guy entered ELR, I was playing doorman and greeted the unfamiliar handle...turns out he felt comfort in sharing some intital chat with me, then returned another day...this same guy is currently engaged to a pinay he met here in ELR, and even remembers me as being the very first chatter he met here...sorry if I'm a sucker for sad/love stories...but hey, can't be that bad a site if you can see stuff like that happen over time.
I'm going to leave ELR for awhile...I feel it only fair to let my friends know it is not easy to leave them and the fun chats we have from time to time. I wish you all the best and hope you time spent in ELR has been as fun asn as rewarding as mine. I will return at some point and look forward to sharing that "infamous" SMILE I have for everyone, regardless of the gender or race.
Thanx to all my friends...
Many Smiles,
Larry

You Just Can't Imagine

You just can't imagine
how much I miss you sometimes!
Oh, I know you're not
in Timbuktu or anything,
but there are times
when not just anyone will do...
times wnen I really wish
you were right here, right now
to confide in,
laugh with, and talk to.
It's amazing how often
I'll wonder what you'd think
about something
or what you'd advise me to do
in certain situations.
Or I'll see something and just know
that nobody else would think it's funny...
except you.
I guess what I want you to know
is that even though we're apart now,
I still feel closer to you
than I do to many people I see every day.
That's a fact.
And I thought
it might make you feel good
to know how very important
you are to me...
no matter where
life finds either of us!

I'm Forever Yours...

I'm forever yours..
because when you hold me,
I fell like nothing else matters
more than the love
I've found with you.
I'm forever yours...
because when you look at me,
I can see how much you love me.
Your eyes tell me
the closeness we share
is something deep
something we could have
only found with each other.
I'm forever yours...
because there is something special
in the way we trust each other
so completely.
I'm forever yours...
because only with you
can I capture a moment
where I know what
it's like to feel heaven,
have I ever felt
so safe, so loved.
I'm forever yours...
because I wouldn't want it
any other way.

57 days and counting...

So far it's been 57 days of total chaos in my mind...the many who's...what...where...when and why's I'm so happily juggling. Don't let anyone tell you a LDR isn't difficult at best.... 57 days and counting...hmmmmmmm
I've been working for weeks crossing my "t's" and dotting my "i's" on final contract negoitiations that was "originally" intended to fund my "play" habits...of course this would mean forfeiture of my next 3-4 months of independence.
Of course the in my other line of work must have received some sort of government bailout, cuz they now are putting demands on me like never before...no worries..the customer is always right, in a timely manner I squeeze them in, so they always call back.
Ahhh...my last leaves the nest...as she is graduating High School in another 5 days...sigh...the youngest and only . Of course she still expects that corvette as a graduation present (she gets her humor from her dad)...
My oldest twin has recently returned from his Army obligations (two tours to Iraq and the last to Afghanistan)...bless his sole...and now is back in college just 2-1/2 yrs behind his friends with whom he entered college with...some well needed/deserved time will be spent catching up there...
Did I mention this LDR is awful demanding and time consuming??? I admit that if I were financially wealthy some of the burdens would be less time consuming, but still...there is a lot of time and effort involved...all of which is well worth the input considering the final outcome...seems that richness in love makes the journey more meaningful.
I may be busy as can be, but my heart is focused on you...I don't expect anyone else to understand me...knowing you do, is enough for me...Smiles

Does Love Hurt
|

Hmmmmm...yesterday I had this unexplainable feeling in my chest, and all I was doing was talking on the computer. I take good care of myself with diet and exercise and sometimes even get competitive in some of my activities. My doc gave me a clean bill of health my last visit, actually complimenting me. My family does not have a history of heart issues. I didn't have any type accident. I didn't over-stress myself during my daily activities. Yet this was a very "distinct" sense of feel...similar to that when you catch a chill, have that spine tingling feeling run up/down your back, or something that makes your hair stand on end. The only thing is it sort of hung around for several minutes...it really got my attention...hmmmmm
I decided to play detective...I've always got to have an answer to everything. I put my mind on record...I tried at best to reconstruct the time frame and series of events that transpired. Nothing...I wasn't stressed about anything...hungry or tired.
I was just wondering if "LOVE" hurts...or can hurt at times. I never really viewed it like that before...never really had any reason to. It's true, I am in love...and although it is still a young love...it is a very strong and secure one...I'm very happy with it and of course thankful.
It's the only viable answer...my conclusion:...Love, can hurt...

Mark your calendar...

I use this dayplanner...but am still not religious with it...
I bought a big calendar to help organize my many events...
I use various colored markers and pens to try and make things stick out...now...everything sticks out...
Then, my (bless her sole) feels like since it's such a big calendar, she can practice her artwork on it...with hearts and loving thoughts of course...
I put it where it's visible from most every place I am...
I can't miss it...it's such a helpful tool...
Now I must use it for a countdown...you know, when you "X" off days till a magic moment in time...
Don't tell me you don't know what I'm talking about...
So now my calendar can no longer be...anything more than a bunch of "X's"...
Nothing but a "big" "X"...reminding me...
Of the countdown to our future...

*say goodbye to all your pain and sorrow...
*say goodbye to all those lonely nights...
*say goodbye to all your blue tomorrows...
*now your standing in the light...
*i know sometimes you feel helpless...
*sometimes you feel like you can't win...
*sometimes you feel so isolated...
*you'll never have to feel that way again...
"You are not alone"
"you are not alone"
*never thought I'd find the road to freedom..
*never thought I'd see you smile...
*never thought I'd have the chance to tell you, that I will
always be your friend...
"you are not alone"
"you are not alone"
