Hi, it's me mailbox 36. I was happy to hear back from you . My name is Darlene but friends call me Dusty. Honey wine sound delicious I don't believe I have ever tasted that.

I also love all genres of music. I love country, classic rock and jazz. It looks like we have some things in common. I also write poetry. I like photography, draw a little and have painted only a hand full of pictures. I enjoy camping, fishing, long walks on the beach and quiet moments especially. I also love walking in the early morning and in early Autumn rain. So , you love to cook? I admire that in a man.

I have to go but I'll be awaiting your next message.

I also enjoy camping and fishing.
Sunsets are my favorite time of the day.
I am shy at first but I can open up with the right person.
I enjoy making the person I am with as happy as I can. I tend to consider the other person's happiness before my own.

Hoping to hear back soon

Hello Ron, So pleased to meet you. When I didn't hear from you yesterday I wondered if you would write back. Yes sunsets and sunrise my favorite times of the day. Funny you should mention being shy.. I am exactly the same way.. I am very shy and quiet at first, then my nerves kick in and I can't shut up. Lol I love that you say you put the other person first, that's how it should be.. My ex was all about himself, its a wonder we lasted as long as we did. I have two children.. a son and daughter. Allen and Angel Rose. Do you have any children?

I feel very comfortable talking to you so far.

Looking forward to knowing more. Dusty (# 36)

I'm sorry I did not write you yesterday. I had internet problems. I am the same way with being shy. I could not enjoy myself knowing the other person was not happy or fulfilled in what we are doing before I am. MY ex seems to be the same as yours lol. I have one daughter with my ex her name is Heaven. In truth I am still a bit nervous, but I feel comfortable in talking with you more so than most people I talk with.

I find my self wishing we could talk more every time. Ron (#47)

Heaven is a beautiful name. I find myself looking for your emails at least a dozen times a day. Yes me too Ron, I want to talk more and more with you. This past week I feel like I am floating on a cloud. I have not met anyone in a long time that I felt a connection with. We have so much in common and I really like the picture you sent. I hope you liked the ones I sent to your email address.. Looking forward to hearing from you again..

I am sorry it was a few days before answering your last message. In truth I was scared.
Thank you, I love her name and her so much.
I find myself wanting to talk more and more. I would love to just sit and talk for days on end. I have not felt this way in so long. I must confess that it scares me sometimes. I have been hurt very badly. I'm sorry if I seem standoffish from the start. It's just the memories of pain. With you I feel like I can take a chance. 
I am so very happy you liked the pictures I sent you. And yes I loved the ones you sent me, I keep them close and they make me feel alive. I can't explain it.
I promise I will respond quicker to your messages.

I am looking forward to your next messages. Ron (#47)

Hello again Ron, hope all is well there. When I got home this evening I had three messages in my box from "Right on Site" Yours and two others. I deleted the other two without even opening them. I am too anxious to get to know you better so I am in no need to meet anyone else at this time..

Your words made me feel very good Ron, thank you.. I two am once bitten twice shy. Caution is my middle name lol... It was actually a friends idea to set me up on this Right on Site. I fought her tooth and nail but now I am glad she persuaded me. I never really believed I could find someone I had anything in common with on a silly site, but here you are. By the way.. I wanted to ask.. Do you have any tattoos? I have one, a long stemmed rose.

It's late and I have to get some sleep. Good night Ron.

I will be thinking of you.

I too fought the idea of finding anyone, let alone on some internet site. But you have changed that idea and have given me hope that maybe there is someone out there for me. I have had a few messages besides yours but they all sounded like some mass message that is sent out to everyone. You are the only one who has wanted to get to know me. I should go now before I put my foot in my mouth to far...lol. Have a good night Dusty and sleep tight.

P.S. I do have a tattoo, but I will leave that for later.

I too will be thinking of you Dusty

Hi, I was in such a hurry to get home and check my messages that I got a speeding ticket.

I can't believe it's been only one week today since we met. I feel like I have known you forever.

So you will save the tattoo stories for later huh? Hmmm lol Do you have any special plans for the coming weekend? I think me and my son may be going to the rodeo. Angel is at her cousins.. How old is Heaven? Hey I just realized our daughters names.. Heaven and Angel? What are the odds lol

By the way, I remember you said you are 6 ft 180 pounds.. That sounds like a good weight for your height. Do you work out? I don't go to the gym much but have some equipment at the house and I love brisk walks in the early mornings. They get my blood pumping.

Well I have to get off here I'm having company in the morning but here is a list of questions..lol

Smoker or non smoker? (I cannot believer I have not asked that all week lol)

Favorite food?

Favorite color?

Favorite beverage (non-alcoholic)

favorite mixed drink

my answers :

non-smoker

seafood

any blue but especially turquoise

sweet tea

pina' caloda

You have a great night Ron. Hope to hear from you soon..Dusty

I am sorry you got a speeding ticket I feel like it was my fault, let me know how much it is and I will pay for it.

I too feel like I have known you forever, (blushing now sorry) but it seems like it has been only a few days, well it seems like an eternity between your messages.

The um tattoo...its kind of in an area that no one sees...oh my god I can't believe I told you about it.

I don't go out much as I do not have anymore in my life. Normally I stay at home, as there is little in my life I have felt like doing for a long time. But since we have been messaging each other I feel like there is life out there. But no I do not have any plans for this weekend.

Heaven will be 18 this year. 

That is odd about our daughters names lol. I think it's very cute.

I use to be more active but I have not felt like it in a very long time (not until we started messaging), I think I will take a long walk this evening and picture you as the sun sets. 

I use to smoke but have been smoke free for about 5 years now.

I love BBQ, seafood, and I have been known to try something just   because someone said I should try it...lol.

Reds and blues (how odd we like the same color also).

Coffee.

A good whiskey or bourbon from time to time and yes I like Pina Colada's to.

I hope all goes well with your company.

My your day is as happy and fulfilled as your messages to me have made me...Ron :).

I tried to leave for my walk last night, but I was so afraid I would miss your message. You seem to have trapped my heart to some degree.

I dream of your messages even in my waking days, your words come to me in dreams of shadow's eyes. They call to me and draw from me my very breath. 

They have rekindled what I tried to bury long ago.

Awww, Ron, I's sorry I didn't answer you back last night. I think I had mentioned I was tired and expecting company.  NO absolutely your are NOT paying this ticket.  It was my own foot on the gas peddle lol.   Besides I think i can just take a class and they will drop it off my record.  I was just thinking about your daughters name still.  Did you ever discuss with your ex the thought of naming a second chile ( boy) Earth? LOL sorry..

ummmm.... about that tattoo,, 'giggles'. Thanks for telling me. 

Mine is actually on the left front shoulder breast long stem going up over the shoulder.

I was going to have Allen and Angel written there but never did get it finished.  Allen is 22 (I married young) and Angel almost 21.  both out on their own.   You never mentioned if you had part time custody?  You did mention you were alone and had nothing to do on weekends so I guess that is a no?? Is Heaven a redhead also?

So many things I want to tell you, You many things I want to ask .  Yet, when I sit down to write my mind is blank.  let's see, were you good in school? Did you go to college?  if so what were/are your majors and minors?  Do you play any kind of musical instrument?  I write songs and have been singing my entire life. After my ex and I split I didn't sing in clubs anymore. He was the one that could play the guitar and so I would write and we would get gigs. When he left I had no music and two small kids.  Sorry I did not mean to go there. We don't have to talk about heavy stuff. at least not yet.

I had a long day so going to have to get things going around here,  So nice to hear from you each time. Each time I hate to say good night.   xoxo Dusty

Hi Ron,  Didn't hear from you over the weekend. Is everything alright?  I did go fishing but all I caught was a cold so I am staying in today.  Hope you are ok. Dusty

I won't hear of it I insist on paying for the ticket. No we never discussed having any more children.

My tattoo is of a moon shining on a lake with the outline of a woman waiting. I got it after I found myself alone for some years. I think of who she would be. I know it seems silly...I can't believe I am telling you about it.  Yes I do but it seems like an eternity between visits.

I feel the same way, so many questions. My mind goes blank to Dusty. I went to college I was an art major. I played the coronet in high school. I was not a great student but I was not too bad.

I find myself not wanting to go. It feels as if I send this you will just be a memory of my past or a dream I will never be able to visit again. Saying good night will be the hardest thing for me to do. But I know it must be done.
Good night dear sweet Rose, may you dream of me tonight and every night.

XOXO...Ron.

I must apologize for not responding for a few days Dusty. I have had little sleep  thinking about you. I want to take this to the next level if you will allow me. I find it hard waiting for your messages and...um please don't think me pushy for asking but you are always on my mind and I would like to talk with you more than just messages. I know that both of us have been hurt in the past and I would never want you to feel as though I was pushing you into something you are not ready for. If you don't want to I will understand and be grateful for any messages you send me.
 
I'm sorry to hear about your cold Dusty.  Please take care of yourself, I would like to meet you someday...sorry I don't mean to sound pushy, if you wanted to of course.
I stayed in this weekend, trying to stay busy. I cut some fresh flowers from the garden and opened the curtains and windows...they have not been opened in so long. Not sure why I did that but it feels like a fresh new home now.

P.S. Um, just a thought but I was wondering if we could talk in the chat room. (Blushing).
I find myself in knots waiting to hear from you between messages.

Hello;  I am feeling a lot better today, thank you Ron.   I'm sorry you are conflicted about moving forward bur I certainly understand your taking a few days to think it through. Phew, I thought maybe I did something to offend you or that you just changed your mind.

As far as chatting in a chat room I have not done that much. I would consider it but give me a day or so ok.  I am not feeling pushed at all. I just want my mind to be clear because clearly we have a connection.   I  can't use Rite On Time my account expires at midnight tonight and well since I'm already talking to someone I care for so I see no reason to continue paying them for sending me contacts lol  

Send me a message to my email and I'll respond there.. [email protected]

love, Dusty

Oh, this is Fiction ? I was really reading into it. BTW, you've got two curious links up there. If you hover the mouse over either, it says, "Click to Continue *arrow* by Text-Enhance"

Are these voluntary links ? If so, they are going to: http://www.writerscafe.org/mail/inbox/4839230/#

Which in turn shows me a blank page on my browser.
http://bit.ly/19yA463

[ron]

Not sure what those are all about.

[dw817]

You didn't add the links yourself then ? Hooboy, I hope it's not some new advertising coming in from WC. I know one website did that, Xanga. They would take a popular writing like yours and make links out of keywords misdirecting you to click on it to go to a website. I took a snapshot of one of them.

http://bit.ly/12bLyXy

Something stupid called Chime.in. Still - these are going to a site in WC - so - color me confused. :S

[ron]

If you want you can acces my page like last time here and see if its something I did i would apreciate it. I'm just no good at the computer suff.

[dw817]

I can do that. I'll edit the direct HTML and find out exactly what it is. I'll return here.

[dw817]

OK, here is what I found.
http://bit.ly/16RmEMX

It appears that you are using some unusual HTML editor, definitely not the standard Writer's Cafe - or - you are cutting and pasting directly from a different system, and you are copying the raw HTML code in there. I removed the odd HTML links above. Gave you a nice icon, and I put this together for you as well if you'd like to use it:
http://bit.ly/1eQGBWO

[ron]

Thank you very much. Evemn though I have no idea what you just said...lol

[dw817]

Well, if you look in the top-left-hand corner of this writing, you'll see you have an icon now. To display any of the bit.ly links I include in my comments, triple click or highlight them with your mouse, then press CTRL-C, CTRL-T, CTRL-V, and the [ENTER] key.

Hope This Helps ! :)

[Sheila Kline]

I have already reviewed Rose's piece and to repeat the same words would be just that.........a repeat, so here goes!

First of all -
I LOVE IT!

It is creative, fun, intriguing, interesting, educational, a reminder of how easily a relationship may develop through the internet media, and filled with excitement!

The two of you have done a wonderful job with this piece which is refreshingly different from the usual poetry/prose/stories, etc.

I am anxious to find out what happens next, and that is what any good piece that continues should do!

Wonderful, just wonderful!!!

[ron]

thank you. I hope to bring a celtic them to it. I have not told Rose this but I will.

[Sheila Kline]

Oh Celtic is wonderful! I would really enjoy that aspect as Celtic music is my favorite, and the Celtic traditions are so rich!! Please keep me posted.

[Cody Williams]

Interesting writing style! A very creative piece! I really enjoyed reading it! Thanks for sharing!

-CW

[ron]

You are so welcome.

[shallimarRose]

Will be continuing in the chat room on Monday.. it should be interesting when its finished to say the least.

[ron]

I think it will be a wonderfull peice Rose. Monday at what time. For me between 7am and about 12 noon would be good. Give me a time to meet and depending on how she is on Monday I should be able to meet you. Lol this is begining to sound like a date xoxo :)

[Sharon L.H. Kelly]

A creative and clever collaboration, thoroughly enjoyed! Please RR me when next installment is ready for review.

[ron]

Thank you, I'm sure rose would have no problem with that.

[Robbie~xoxo~]

This is quite charming... a unique insight to a building friendship.
I love the Collaboration, one I've never seen done in this way.
Very creative! Lovely work you two! :)

P.S. Honey wine sounds yummy! ~xoxo~
