First off. Dawn I'm not mad at you. I didn't get time to talk much to 'gentleman stanno' this morning, nor about his post, but I'm sure he's not mad at you either. As a great model to my children and as 'gentle man stanno' I'm sure he just doesn't want to get up in the morning and have that be the first thing he sees on Raw. Rude awakening. ;) You and I have talked about it and stanno has said his piece now, but sometimes we all get carried away and ..it happens. As the Mother of the one who calls you Miss Dawn...to keep the respect he has for you I do wish when you get carried away you would keep your regular posts up front and the other on a back page. To anyone who wants to make a further issue of this COMMON SENSE tells you that there's a difference between getting carried away and doing something on purpose, as on purpose was not the case here. Second. Do I believe romances started online can work out? Absolutely! My son is getting married in June to a wonderful Christian girl he met online three years ago. As an aspiring teen writer my son joined a story writing website where he quickly became one of the top writers along with a girl who had recently joined. They began to IM each other to collaborate on stories. Before long they realized they were soul mates. To their surprise they discovered they lived in the same town and began dating. They haven't been apart since and are soon to wed, Does anyone on their website know they are a couple offline? No. They keep that to themselves. Do either of their schools know they are a couple? No. They keep what they have to themselves too. Sometimes children have more COMMON SENSE, as well decency, than adults. These two, who met as teens, know what they have is whole and complete in and of itself and they don't need to bait and fish for congratulations or approval and they certainly have too much COMMON SENSE to subject what they have to possible scrutiny! Unless you know stanno offline the only way you would be able to find out if he and Carolyn are still a couple is to ask him! They saw that what they had was whole and complete in and of itself and had the COMMON SENSE to take it offline where their relationship sustains ITSELF. As I have said earlier, COMMON SENSE keeps you from hurting yourselves and causing harm or possible discomfort to others. If you're in a relationship that isn't whole and complete in and of itself and you need to bait and fish for compliments and approval to make you feel like you “have something” then COMMON SENSE should tell you that you must NOT!! Or you wouldn't both be having to constantly go fishing to pass the time just to have something to do in your relationship. If you are appalled that you gather scrutiny of your relationship for not having the COMMON SENSE to keep it a private matter then you only have yourself to blame. If you think people get annoyed or even mock you because they are jealous of what you try to portray that you have (laughing out loud and shaking my head) how can anyone be jealous of what you continually have to prove you obviously DON'T have. Most people point and laugh or get annoyed that you are wasting space and their time having to skip over the nonsense of what appears to them to be much ado about nothing. And on the last note. Dawn, Vic, and I know what we have going on in our lives and each others whether we choose to post it or not, but that doesn't give way to assuming that we would be jealous of what others think they have or try to portray that they have. (laughing and shaking my head again) So, Think again! COMMON SENSE should tell you we have NOTHING to be jealous over. So if you have no COMMON SENSE and garner scrutiny for annoying others while you go fishing or they mock you, stop trying to narrow all the scrutiny you receive down to one of us! COMMON SENSE should tell you that if you are not receiving the praise or approval you are fishing for from anyone in this fishing hole you should reel in and stop fishing or find another fishing hole!! But, some people don't have the COMMON SENSE to come in out of the rain and want to seek out others to blame that they got wet!! Oh, woe is them! (shaking my head for the last time).
