[Prime Choice]

Someone one quipped that love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Fortunately, as Einstein once noted, imagination is more important than knowledge. : )

Happy New Year to you and yours!

After 23 years apart, the first love in my life, my Senior Year high school girlfriend got in touch with me by looking my phone number up in the Internet.

Man, did she ever get fat!

[CounterCounterCulture]

But while rekindling a past love can be wonderful, as it appears it often is, however, accept this cautious note, it is not without risk. Too often, it is a married person who first fantasize, then tempts fate when seeking then seeing an old flame, even when it seems harmless. “You just don’t realize the hold that old love may still have over you,” Kalish says. “Almost one-third of the reunited couples in the project were adulterous relationships. Most of these people had been faithful spouses before they looked up their lost love. I've seen marriages completely blown out of the water by innocently reconnecting with an old flame,” warns Kalish.

Can't say this enough. When one, or the other, or both have moved on, it is best to let go. Sure, cherish those early memories, learn from the mistakes, and build toward that new, more compatible love. Don't lose that true love over some fantasy that wasn't meant to be.

I will always have a "soft spot" for my first real love, I think of her on occaision still. Do I ever want to give up the wonderful family that I have now for that old fantasy? Not a chance in hell. Just like Garth said, "Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers..."

[ElkGroveDan]

Dare I say it? there are many of us who simply are unable to pinpoint our FIRST true love.

I'll admit that I had a seemless series of crushes and "true loves" from the first grade until I fell for the womn I finally married at the age of 31. Was SHE my FIRST true love?

Was my first "true love" at the age of 6? Was it the first one after puberty? Or after I became an adult? As far I'm concerned there is no such thing as "first" true love.

. Ok just for fun; here is a joke

Woman comes to pet store kind of depress, a lady comes up to her and asked her what is wrong. She said; well my husband and I have serious problems. Lady ask what is the problem. Woman said well you know when I go to bed he doesn't talk to me no more not to mention other things. So lady goes; don't worry I have something that will help you it is called intelligent frog. Woman looks at her and says; what! Lady replies it is intelligent frog do not worry she will take care of the problems you have. So this lady picks the frog comes home and goes to bed with husband while putting frog between her and him. He looks at it and says; what in the world is this? She says; don't worry honey it is just a frog to take care our problems. Well, around 4 in the morning, she is awaking by loud noises coming from the kitchen. She walks there and sees her husband and frog looking at cooks books talking to each other as best friends. So she goes: what is going on here? Well husband looked at her and said; woman once I teach this frog how to cook your butt is out of here. Happy New Year to all of you and God Bless

[Soaring Feather]

I was imagining you
here in my shadow
under a starless world
inhaling love
breathing you into existence.
You'll be my love in the end,
is desire exhaled?

Happy New Year BTTT

[Gabz]

It took me a long time, but I have finally realized that my first (and only) true love is someone that became a close friend when I was far from a little kid, he is my husband.

Like any normal girl I fell in and out of "love" including getting married and divorced in my 20s. And there is one other "love" that I still occasionally think about, but the last time I saw him, there was no spark at all.

And not only does my love share my love - he shares my love of cooking!!!!!

Happy New Year with much love and hugs from me and mine!!!

What a timely post, I'm currently trying to track down my true love from high school. Last time I heard she got married, but it's been many years and who knows if she still is. Only problem is I don't know what her married name was/is. I haven't been able to track down her parents and all the old phone numbers I have are no good. If anyone has the ability to find out anything I'll love ya forever.
Name (before marriage) Lisa Dorfman
graduated from Lakeside High School in 87 or 88 in Georgia, Dekalb/Atlanta.
Anyway, I shall keep trying............................

My first love was an unmitigated cheeser. My true love, on the other hand, is workin' late tonight, poor guy. :)

Yo, I have a soup recipe I'd like your opinion on. Xena's Mom gave it to me a few weeks back, and it's some of the best soup I've ever tasted. (Bacon can testify to the power of the soup.)

Taco Soup

Brown one to one-and-a-half pounds ground beef or turkey with a chopped onion. Drain.

Drain one can kidney beans, one can pinto beans, and one can corn; add to meat.

Drain two cans stewed tomatoes and one can Ro-Tel tomatoes; add to meat/bean mix.

Add one envelope taco seasoning and one envelope dry ranch dressing mix.

Add four cups water. Simmer.

If desired, serve over smushed tortilla chips.

This gets better over the second and third days, especially if you drop in another envelope of taco seasoning, maybe some more corn or beans, and a little more water. MMMMMM!

My first love was part of a marriage that came apart. She turned out to be a loser, but I gained 3 true loves, my children. Children who have made their own way in the world, and of whom I'm very proud.

While walking in an antique mall with my darling husband (true love) one day, I ran into 'Steve' (first love). Turns out he and his lovely wife, 'Lynn', live within 2 miles of us. After a couple years of dinners at each others' houses, shopping trips with 'Lynn' and the guys getting to be good friends we found out we were going to have a baby. We told 'Lynn and Steve' about it Thanksgiving week after a particularly nice dinner. They looked so surprised. They had been planning to tell us the same news. Lynn and I were preggers at the same time, our babies due within a month of each other. Due to toxemia, I had my son first (3 months early). One month and one week later, they had their son.

The boys are now the very best of friends -- as are their parents. Funny how life works. (And no, there's no funny-business going on...lol)

Had a Christmas card from my First Love last week, with photos of her 4 kids. Je ne regrette rien.

[boris]

I found--and lost--my life's love...twice.

That was enough for me.

The male ego (at least mine) is fragile, and I sat down and had a long talk with myself: "Boris, old boy: whatever they want, you ain't got; whatever you got, they don't want." So I stopped chasing them. Now, at 52 and on meds that reduce the libido to zero, I am sort of glad it's over. But I will attach here some material that "indicates" a bit of what I found--and lost--twice.

=================================================

"It did not seem possible that Wendy Wright had been born out of blood and internal organs like other people. In proximity to her he felt himself to be a squat, oily, sweating, uneducated nurt whose stomach rattled and whose breath wheezed. Near her he became aware of the physical mechanisms which kept him alive; within him machinery, pipes and valves and gas-compressors and fan belts had to chug away at a losing task, a labor ultimately doomed. Seeing her face, he discovered that his own consisted of a garish mask; noticing her body make him feel like a low-class windup toy. All her colors possessed a subtle quality, indirectly lit. Her eyes, those green and tumbled stones, looked impassively at everything; he had never seen fear in them, or aversion, or contempt. What she saw she accepted. Generally she seemed calm. But more than that she struck him as being durable, untroubled and cool, not subject to wear, or to fatigue, or to physical illness and decline." -- Philip K Dick, UBIK.

Or maybe the verse from CSN&Y: "Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit, he runs, wishing he could fly--only to trip at the sound of good-by."

And Ben Jonson's "Ode to Cynthia":

Queen and huntress, chaste and fair,
Now the sun is laid to sleep,
Seated in thy silver chair,
State in wonted manner keep.

Earth, let not thy envious shade
Dare itself to interpose;
Cynthia's shining orb was made
Heaven to cheer when day did close.

Lay thy bow of pearl apart,
And thy crystal-shining quiver,
Give unto the flying hart
Space to breathe, how short soever.

Hesperus entreats thy light,
Goddess excellently bright.
Bless us then with wished sight
Thou that mak'st a day of night.
