"An Oatmeal Stout brewed with coffee." Oh my god! For years I have been telling friends, family, and coworkers that someone needs to create that exact brew! To the point that if I had the money, I'd open my own place to work on it. Only I had been naming it "Closing Time". This is why I love a good microbrew. Thank goodness some people still remember what beer is. As for the rest, good luck with it! I guess if life and love were easy, they wouldn't be so valuable. Even an herb as sweet as basil is nothing without its bite. Lord Basil

Your situation is like so many others here and that including my own also. These types of relationships are so difficult to contend with, especially with the difference in work schedules between two participants and trying to schedule the times that you can be together. This, I'm so very familiar with myself. It will be much easier once you do retire, but a word of warning, if you are involved with many friends and or other activities on the side, once you retire, don't allow them to take over your retired life. This is what happened to me, once I retired, it seems that everyone decided that I could be available to help with all their needs and whims, so thus, I'm busier now than I ever was when working at the full time job, only difference now is that I'm on call 24/7 to their needs, and unfortunately I'm the kind of guy that cain't just say "NO" to these requests. Anyway, my situation involves a lady that I've known for most of my life and went to high school with. Never dated her back in school, but did get with her about 4 years after graduation and realized what I huge mistake I had made in not getting with her sooner. We ended up both marrying the wrong partners and being totally unhappy during that period of time. My significant other ended up leaving and running off with another guy, while hers just lost interest and cast her aside with the two children that had come along late in their marriage. ( There is a lot more to the story of the children, but not for here in open forum) . We lost touch for almost 38 years, but I never lost the feelings and need for her. We both ended up marrying the second time and with about the same results, both turned out as bad if not worse than the first times around. Call it fate, karma or whatever, we happened back upon each other a couple of years ago on a site that I hate very much, named "FB". She is now living in Florida and I still here in Illinois, about 1100mi apart. We have however been together a couple of times and it was pretty much as if we had never been apart for all those years. She is still working and will be for a couple of years more, while I've been retired since I was 51. In all those years apart, I've never given up hope of finding her and maybe things working out and hopefully it's headed that way soon. My whole point here with my long story is that, no matter how difficult things seem, if it's what you feel is right and even with all the back sets and some down falls with difficulties of work schedules and things getting in the way all of the time, don't ever, ever, give up on it, it will all be so worth it in the end for the two of you. Just don't allow those things to get in the way!!

I often have to do the same thing ..... letting my thoughts run without letting them run wild! <14 weeks for me but we're not counting, are we? Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

This post certainly hits home in many ways. Thoughts from the Garden...

Oh Lord...I am the queen of over thinkers and it did interfere to a degree in my last relationship. But it also turned out that my over thinking was spot on a bit when some of those thoughts turned out to be true.... Right now I'm just chilling (not in or looking for a relationship) and working on not over thinking so much... Be Honest..Be Sincere...Be REAL

Yummy beer! I can so relate to trying to keep your mouth shut!!!! I've only recently gotten about 40% good at it. It works for a few days with mothers and sisters but men are right out still.

I struggle with craft beers, too many choices, and usually too hoppy for my taste........ Discretion is the better part of valour in most circumstances!

I am a terrible over thinker! Sometimes I just wish I had a stop button to my brain. I am working on getting it in check but it is hard! I think women do this way more than men do as we tend to blame ourselves and have to analyze (or over analyze!) everything. After reading the responses here, I am glad to see I am not the only one that does it and am in good company! Classy, Sassy, and a little Smart-Assy Sine Metu CN
