*peeks in* ahem...newbie here...:-p (and a game for us!)

[Ceicei]

Days passed and a very good friend (who taught martial arts for a living) told the depressed man he needed to get out of the house and do something physical.

 

[pknox]

Physical activity was exactly what the man felt he needed as well, so off he went to the dojo to train.

 

[Ceicei]

"Train hard!" became his personal motto as he tried to forget his messed up life.

 

[ABN]

life went on, and eventually he found a new love, brown eyes, red blonde hair, hard body, she was the ideal of a golden retriever

 

[Ceicei]

"My retriever and my martial arts," thought the man, "what more can I ask? My life is good!" His now ex-wife faded into a distant memory.

 

[TheRustyOne]

Memory is what brought her back to his house one day, broken and ashamed for the actions of her past.

 

[FUZZYJ692000]

past actions tend not to be forgotten easily

 

[Goldendragon7]

Easily learned...... easily forgotten.

 

[Ceicei]

Forgotten hopes are sometimes best remembered when we take a moment to be as carefree as a child again.

 

[KenpoTess]

Again, I shall refrain from growing up or old, for the child part of me is enjoying life to the fullest.

 

[pknox]

"Fullest" would be an accurate description of how I felt after Thanksgiving dinner!

 

[Shodan]

Dinner will be eaten out somewhere tonight- we haven't decided where yet.

 

[ABN]

Yet another holiday, and once again the cats are climbing into the tree before we can get it decorated.

 

[FUZZYJ692000]

decorated the tree went crashing to the ground from the cats climbing it (true story)

 

[TheRustyOne]

It was quite a mess to clean up, but everyone was thankful they didn't use real candles to light the tree.

Tree (s) was one of my childhood nicknames.

Tess,


Tree (s), I do not get it. I mean they just inserted an 'R' into your name? Or were you a tall young lady with red hair that reminded people of a nice Maple?

(to continue the game)

Nicknames are often given because of convenience, a certain event, or as a shortened name.

Name That Tune was one of my favorite shows when I was little.
