I'm BACK!

I'm BACK! I spent several years on here/Senior Sizzle simply posting my rambling thoughts on social and political issues whiling away the days until I thought I would meet my sweet heart over-seas in Thailand. She and I met when she rented an apartment I owned near UK<b> campus. </font></b>She was getting her doctorates degree in Plant Physiology where she had gotten a national scholarship from the Thai government. She was a big sports fan and would call me sometimes after, or during a UK football game to celebrate a play or a win. She had a huge crush on Derek Abney and I would tease her about it. It was almost a full year later before it ever became romantic and we dated - quickly realizing the situation she and I were both in due to her scholarship. In order for her to receive this scholarship - her mother was required to put her family home up as collateral in case she never came back to Thailand. The amount of money needed to reimburse the Thai government was several hundred thousand dollars - a three hundred percent return if she did not return or her mother would lose her home. Neither was something we could do. We decided that she would go back to Thailand and I would simply wait until I got my '35 working years' in for SSA and we would take the money I had saved and I would meet her in Thailand. She left in 2010 and I was to meet her in June of this year to finally begin our life together. The first of January this year, as I prepared to get my new passport and the engagement rings she let me know she had found someone else. While I was completely blindsided, I probably shouldn't have been. Five years is an awfully long time to be apart. Thailand has within the last year had military a coup-detat. Her mother wanted and I only wanted to adopt. There were a lot of obstacles and we were probably a little naive (me even more-so) to actually believe that 'love' can truly conquer all. So anyways, now I am re-acclimating myself to the realization of staying here in the good ol' USA and looking forward to seeing what the future will bring. Surprisingly to no one more than myself I am pretty much OK with how things all worked out. I actually LOVE Lexington and REALLY appreciate my good fortune in the US. I SO did not want to learn to speak Thai - 'old dog - new trick' problem. I hate HOT/HUMID weather and there is now ay in hell I would ever be able to keep my big American mouth shut as would be REQUIRED by newly installed military regime. On another note - I have been completely faithful for five years that have past - which means I have been celibate for longer than I can imagine. I may actually be a virgin again. Looking forward to just going out at this point - anything is exciting to me now..ha ha. |

Good to see you. I've been celibate about as long as it's been since your last post. I hope it's like riding the proverbial bike. I've got a helmet just in case.
