this week we met two folks who met thru e harmony.com. he is very eager to marry her but she is taking things cautiously (they've only known each other 6 weeks). It made me think there should be a dating service called
friendship.com rather than suggesting meeting a spouse, for those who are gun shy and maybe just want to share a sunset. I still think being introduced by good friends who know both people is the best/safest way.
I wish you well, peg4x4

Say Peg since your in Texas and looking for a man, maybe you should look up Haymaker. I think he's lonely since his french teacher moved on and we know he has a nice house. Maybe if he had a good woman looking after him he wouldn't be so CRANKY :heart: :nod: :pretty: :cowboy:

I don't think that really matters cause neither can Haymaker. Maybe instead of French you could teach him some manners.

or did your really mean Horse woman? Not the same at all.
I disagree with lots said in these post. I see no reason for you not to be on the lookout for a life partner at this time, but don't get in so much of a hurry that you settle for someone you are not compatable with.

I took on two teen aged boys when I met my wife. I tried to help raise them the best I could figure out how. I could have done some things better but did the best I could figure out how at the time. I am sure they grew up much better than if they had not had me in their life. At the time, they though I was a mean ole fart, but now they consider me their dad and could care less if they ever see their biologial dad again. the only time he was in their life was when he needed some one to talk to.

listen to what several are saying and make your own conclusions. you said you wanted a horse person. Danged few ranchers are going to meet your specifications as you listed them. several on here are trying to tell you how life on a ranch really is. They are telling you the way it is, no fooling. make sure what you think you want is what you want. I run 250 cows and background calves. Guess that makes me a rancher but I sure ain't that much into horses though I still have 5 on the place. found I can do more work alone on the jap horse and get it done quicker. Just not all the horse work can be done on the jap horse. If I was single, I sure wouldn't meet your specifications even though I am a rancher.

best advise I could give you is to spend time doing the things you like to do. Hang out where those people hang out. (make sure that includes places where they are around other people) that is most likely where you will find someone that likes doing what you like to do. I met my wife square dancing, we still go square dancing all these years later. have seen other couples meet the same way.
Took her down hill skiing early in the dating game. we still go skiing every winter.
If you don't like to do the same things or at least some of the same thing as your partner, then ur relationship is doomed. You don't have to do all the ranch stuff to marry a rancher, but you would be expected to help out at times. My wife works off the ranch but still helps out when I really need it. she does not do the arm stuff but sure has been there at 3 am with the cold calf. The bigger the ranch, the more likely you would be able to do mostly horsey stuff. Most ranches ain't that big

if you think are intreasted in a rancher, figure out a way to spend some time on a ranch and learn first hand what kind of life it is. best way would be to get some kind of job on a ranch which may be a little difficult if you don't have the experience, but if you got the will, you could make it happen. want to see if you can get along with a rancher? Just help him work cattle in the corral. If you can survive that, you might have a chance! don't know what I mean, try it then you will know! volenteer some of your weekends. bring your daughter along to help fix fence and spend some quality time togather.

ranch life is not for everyone but then I know of some city gals that ended up on the ranch and Never want to go back to the city. then there are others that couldn't wait to get back to the bright lights. Lost several hired men simply because their wives didn't like living a long ways from town.

When you meet the right guy, it probbly won't be when you are expecting it. hang around here long enough and possibly someone will get to know you good enough to recomend a match. many a match has been made by freinds but you gota work on the freinds part and wait for the match to happen. I know some single guys, but at the time I sure don't know any that I would recomend for you but someone may come along. If you got lots of freinds, it won't matter so much if there is a guy or not.

I was married two years and after that said never again. was still saying that about 5 years later. Then 6 months later I ended up getting hitched. wasn't at all thinking about getting hitched but just happened to meet my "wunderful wife" along the way and changed my attitude. As they say at Sturgis SD (stuff happens)(not exactly how they say it). So those of you that say no one is ever gona get papers on you, you could be in for a big supprise one of these days.

Would there be conflicts with any new man in your life and your daughter? You better count on itl Deal with it. will you have conflicts with your daughter anyhow, man or no man? 100% chance you will, just the way Life is.

Happy Hunting!

Sandhiller, I can so relate to what you're saying.

When Hubby and I married, he had 3 kids (by 2 different mothers). I've seen the girl once. The boys both have lived with us, the younger one for about 8 months when his mom called and told Hubby that he either came up here, or he would go to prison. Hubby hadn't seen or talked to those 2 kids since his witchy ex loaded them up and moved across 2 states, back when they were 3 and 5. The boy was about 15 at the time he came to live here. Talk about a disaster in the making.......Hubby is very strict, and I guess Josh had just gotten away with any and everything ever since he got big enough to know he could.
Chad, the oldest son, has lived with us off and on for the whole time we've been married.....18+ years, now, at least until he got put in prison and didn't live with anyone. He knew how to play the game, and did it very well. As long as his mom was doing what he wanted her to, he lived with her. When that stopped, he'd come back up here, and start over again. He was just back and forth all the time. Thank God that prison finally straightened him out (or at least, it appears that he's doing better). Not sure what might have happened to him otherwise.
Al is a much different personality and temperament than his half brothers, though. I think the Good Lord figgered we'd suffered enough with them, and gave us an easy kid for a change. :lol:
I've often wondered, if I had it to do over again, knowing what I know now, if I would do it........Hubby and I knew each other 2 months and 2 days before we got hitched double.
I just don't know if I would or not, or if he would............ :? I wouldn't trade Al for anything in the world, but I sure would have a lot less gray hair and wrinkles if I could have skipped over the times when his boys were here........ :lol:

Sandhiller,you hit the nail on the head..all you can do is the best you can do,at the time..

One of the hardest things I had to do (at least I thought so at the time) was make one of the step sons turn his self in to the law. He had been involved with some small things, mostly sticky fingered stuff and it seemed to keep happening. One morning I noticed the trunk of his car was open and it was plum full of booze and cigerates. Figured that the way we had been trying to handle it wasn't working and we had to do plan B. He took the blame but several other kids were invloved as we suspected but didn't find out till later. After a chat with owner of the recently closed liquor store and with the sheriff and then the judge, he has turned out into a really good guy.

I wouldn't say I am really that strict, but when I tell them something, they know that I mean it. They gota make a few mistakes to get some common sense so it is best to let them make some small ones and try to keep the big ones in check.
I have on many ocassions observed kids that had overly strict parents, turn into the wildest ones around when they got out from under their parents control.

I beleive in not sparing the rod and they knew it. The step sons both got a spanking exactly one time and they always knew there was the possibilty it could happen again.
Most of the time I would just ask them if they wanted a MAD Dad and they seemed fairly sure they did not want a MAD Dad! My youngest one got in trouble with his mother once for coloring on the wall minutes after she chewed him out for doing it the first time. She gave him a good spanking and he laughed at her. That really made her mad. Told me I had to deal with him. I barely tapped his butt with the flyswatter and he acted like I killed him. Acted like I broke his heart! His mother couldn't beleive it! Found out later his brother kept telling him to color on the wall so he did!

I have always tried to be fair with them and the knew it. I have been there for them when they needed me. They knew I would help when they needed it, like 1am and I get a call that they are with freinds 3 hours from home and their car had died.
My own 2 sons really never were much trouble, couldn't have asked for better kids. Yeh sometimes they acted like teen ageers but not much gray hairs from them. That is untill the older one went to sleep at the wheel and we lost him, forever 18yrs old. He had already did more with his life than many adults ever do. If you haven't been through that, you could never begin to guess how hard that is. I cried evey day for the first year.
The younger one has had a few incidents but is a kid any parent could be proud of. good worker and hardly ever complains. sure gona miss him , he is already a junior in high school and it won't be long till he is off to college.

The younger step son got involved with a gal that has 4 kids and they were always getting away with about anything they wanted. If he tried to control them and he did try at first, his gal would put a stop to it. always did everything she could to keep them from getting in trouble for things they should have been in trouble for. last year all three of the boys ended up locked up. One of the boys actually told the judge that he was gona smoke weed and the judge wasn't gona stop him! I am fairly sure that he didn't do that during the months he was locked up!. Sounds like the jail time may have straghtened all three of them up considerable. At least I hope so, I was afraid that they was getting too old to ever straghten up.
