I have been writing a lot to many places. I hope things work out well. I will be getting my funds soon and will be able to do improvements at home. I would also like to plan a vacation, or something. All I can think of is that I want to see my friend and seeing him again as much as possible and appreciate him.
Rest well and have a lovely day. You are loved!

I was doing some browsing online for household items and was looking at bedding. I want to have a nice room for guests, or..... and I was looking at silk duvets etc and came across terms new to me like super CA King and palatial King. How wonderful! one would not want to picture a taller person having to choose between keeping their chest warm, or toesies! A Palatial King should do it!
IWCBS
I hope you had a nice rest and will have a lovely day!
I am so sleepy I can barely keep my eyes open.
I will come back shortly.
Sending you my love!🤟🏩

I MYLIAIH
Where are you my sweetest friend?
I miss you like I am in Hell.
It is hard to take!

I want to make things good. I want to do it with you.
I am so tired of waiting.
LIHIFAH
I want this "thing" over. I want to have the option of seeing my friend if he and I want to do so.
I want to love him, should he also have that desire. I want to take care of him and keep him loved and safe
and away from fear and cruelty.
Love is how I feel about him.
OBTTID
It feels like people want me for whatever they want, but for nothing I want. I keep getting screwed and it takes a big chunk out of my life and I am left old, beaten and tired; then I die.
I hate this and it is not correct, by any fairness in life. It should be changed and allow people to make their own decisions. I cannot speak for anyone else, but I know unfair and illegal when I experience it.
My life has been taken over by the cruelty and the illegality and sadness; I only wanted to know my friend but we have both been treated abysmally, so now I want to make certain it never happens to either of us again.
IIMLTNLMA
Please find a way to show me you are on my side; I am so sad and confused; it is MY life that no longer means anything.
PDBH
Please try and leave if you can; if you don't want to; just tell me to fuck off. I don't understand this at all. I really don't. You are not a cruel person. I may just die. Please don't be hurtful. What would be the point to it? Any of it? I am spending money I don't have out of love. Please be honest, okay? I am slowly dying. You wouldn't hurt me; that isn't you.

It is sweet how many people are very kind when I told them on Face Book about my lovey doggie, Bella passing. It has been difficult. I keep wanting to talk to her and make her happy. I hate missing my loved ones; life can be so lonely.

I hope you are doing well. I let my terrified imagination go rather unhinged for a bit. I am so protective of my friend that I just want to make certain no one hurts him. I doubt that even my imagination can be as awful as reality. He is so precious to me; he is in my constant thoughts. It has been much too long. Protect yourself as much as possible. Call whoever, whenever. Please. I love you.

My right arm is so sore, I can barely lift it. I guess it is because I have been writing so much.
I took aspirin and rubbed some sore muscle stuff in. I will rest it for a bit.
Hugs to you!

I had the weirdest Thanksgiving dinner EVER! It was some turkey parts and cinnamon rolls, grapes and ....pretty much it. Oh yeah cranberry sauce! Yep; odd! We had all the rest of the regular stuff, but just did not feel like it.

I miss you so much! This is yet another holiday I wish I could see you; so it is crap!😟😢
YAIMH
I wonder how you are doing and if you are cooking dinner. 🦃I hope you are able to enjoy a family experience and are making a kind of nice memory for your kids if they are there. You don't know how much I want you to have some happiness and feel the love from them. I wish I could know you and be able to love you, but I want what you want and need. There is more to our relationship than meets the eye or is unique; I have always felt that; it is why it has lasted as a kind of immortal dependence. I know that I cannot do well in life without knowing you are okay; it is just the way it is. I feel agitated otherwise. It is a small compensation just knowing, but my heart would be completely full if I could actually see you in person. I only want what is wanted of me. Being near you would be amazing.
Have a sweet day.
In my heart. 💕

I awoke and thought of you. It was only 5:30 am and soon understood it was much too early for me. I began watching "Madam Bovary". I knew from having read the book ages ago that it did not have a happy end. It was hard to hear it well, since the tones were somber, but it was too early to turn up the volume.
Anyway, I wonder how your day will go; I hope it will be happy; I wonder if that is too much to hope, but the best is all I want for you.
I will have you in my mind with warmth and caring all day long.
🤟

It would be so lovely to speak with you.
Do you know that you in my heart and mind has kept me going?
Much of the time it was all I had that kept me from dying.

My doggie has been quiet all night and I haven't the nerve to check on her. She must be gone. Please pray for me. I am a chicken shit. I will have my renter/friend do it when he gets up. He already said he would bury her next to my cat. It has been a terrible two days; he has been beaten up by it too.

I don't feel like I was mentally connected to you all day. It is because of all the crap business stuff I had to do, but feel I have gotten nowhere.
I hate life.
I love your sweetness.
I am feeling so low.
you make life lovely. I am so worried about you.
I have found no loan, but I will think about you all day.
I have a possibility for a loan, so fingers crossed!
I am ALWAYS thinking of you!
My heart hurts without you.
I have great hope! You WILL do VERY
WELL!
ILYSM 2
I am sorry for being me. I wish I could make things good, but I don't seem to be able to do that easily. Other people seem to get the better of me. I guess falling in love with someone out of my league is my problem. I am so sad. I will gather my strength and get into a better mindset, but now, I feel awful. I just hate cruel people. I am panicking. I will do better. Life is better with you. xxo!
🤟 Have a beautiful morning and day!🌅 I love you!

Historical Landmark,
Home to “The Blue Lady” Ghost
A designated California Point of Historical Interest, the restaurant’s history includes a popular speakeasy and famous ghost.
The Moss Beach Distillery as it appeared in its early days. Exterior view from the east (above) and the ocean view dining room set for a wedding reception dinner (bottom).
During Prohibition, the San Mateo Coast was an ideal spot for rum running, bootleggers and “speakeasies,” establishments which sold illegal booze to thirsty clients.
One of the most successful speakeasies of the era was Frank’s Place on the cliffs at Moss Beach. Built by Frank Torres in 1927, Frank’s became a popular nightspot for silent film stars and politicians from the City. Mystery writer Dashiell Hammett frequented the place and used it as a setting for one of his detective stories.
The restaurant, located on the cliff, above a secluded beach was a perfect location to benefit from the clandestine activities of Canadian rum-runners. Under cover of darkness and fog, illegal whiskey was landed on the beach, dragged up a steep cliff and loaded into waiting vehicles for transport to San Francisco. Some of the booze always found its way into the garage beneath Frank’s Place. Frank Torres used his excellent political and social connections to operate a highly successful, if illegal, business. Unlike many of the other speakeasies along the coast, Frank’s Place was never raided.
With the repeal of the prohibition in 1933 Frank Torres remained in the food service business as one of the most successful restaurateurs along the San Mateo County coastside. Frank’s Place, now called the Moss Beach Distillery, still retains its spectacular view and secluded location above the ocean coves.
The Distillery also retains one of Frank’s former customers, as well. Its resident ghost, “The Blue Lady”, still haunts the premises, trying to recapture the romance and excitement of Frank’s speakeasy years. The story of The Blue Lady was documented by the TV program “Unsolved Mysteries”, and has been seen by millions of people around the world. Perhaps you will see her when you visit!
our ghost, “the blue lady”
The Moss Beach Distillery is well known for its famous ghost, “The Blue Lady”, and the popular NBC TV series Unsolved Mysteries recreated a haunting version of “The Legend Of The Blue Lady” and presented it to the world.
According to the ghostly Coastside legend, some 72 years ago a beautiful, young woman met by chance, a handsome dangerous man and fell in love with him. This sophisticated ladies’ man was, say some, a piano player in the bar. The naive young woman, always dressed in blue was already married to another but her unsuspecting husband never knew of the illicit affair. She made many trips to the restaurant to be with her lover.
The beautiful lady in blue was reportedly killed while walking on the beach below the restaurant with her lover. He was assaulted, but survived. It is here at the Distillery you will find her searching for her lover.
Many strange events have been documented since that time that can not be explained such as mysterious phone calls from no one, levitating checkbooks, locked rooms from the inside without any other means of entry, women diners losing one ear ring and then several of these are found in one place weeks later, date tampering with computers, sightings by small children. We are glad she is not destructive with her pranks and continue to hear of new events that cannot be explained.
Come visit us for ocean view dining and try to catch a glimpse of the “Blue Lady”.
