"Mom, your only mistake was trusting a guy like that. He was just using you, getting what he wanted then walking out the door." I'm afraid you're righ...," she said between sobs.I sat next to her and put my arm around her."It will be okay," I said quietly."Oh, Darin, I guess I'm too old -- just not attractive enough." That's crap and we both know it. You're the most beautiful woman I've ever known. You just need a man who's worthy of you. Someone you can trust to be there for you when you need. Wait until they creep out into the field and then use your energy to freeze their feet to the soil. If you threaten to take their hats away they will promise to leave the sheep alone.

After where you have put it... fuck off." I laughed.So I went to the wedding with Chrissie and her husband, Tom's cool and on a few occasions we have made a foursome (not that type), Tom and Charlie get on, I like that as left to his own devises he'd never leave the house.We drank, danced a little, drank some more. I wasn't the only single woman there, but I didn't appreciate the girlie dance circles. I'd given up on those.
