ME: oh oh...speaking of "hot" ...I see female trouble in the gaelic room for you...
CPAMAN: I dont know this person who the heck is it?
ME: like I know?....you see this is why I hang around old retired men
CPAMAN: why?
ME: their 'female troubles" are in the kitchen or living room of their homes...or lost in a bottle of viagra...and there is no pressure...just chat
CPAMAN: oh...?
CPAMAN: I dont have female troubles

CPAMAN: yeah this coming from you the love em and leave em woman
ME: ah yes the reputation precedes me I see

ME: There is an explanation for everything - and you are safe tucked away in your large city thousands of miles from California...
CPAMAN: is that so?
ME: you are so teasing me..
CPAMAN: lol you are adorable you know
ME: well my mother thinks so, bit for the record I only stop seeing men when they think hurting me is ok...

ME: damn you are getting good at this gaelic stuff...
CPAMAN: nah...it's just your influence...xo
CPAMAN: please take care
ME: will do... sleep well
So some safe online support helps, just don't get to caught up into it. A little online flirting can help on a Friday night just as long as you realize you are in non-matching jamies that have bleach stains and the guy is just hanging out probably on his 8th beer.
More importantly...you are home with your kids and they love you...
Hugs,
C
PS. My imaginery lover is romantic...
