well that puts a cherry on top....
 

on a friggin horrible day. did not cash one tix at CD and the girl that ive been going out with for over a year says she doesnt want to marry me so that is a prety sweet day. i hope those on here did a hell of a lot better them me. im taking off till spring b/c i am totally out of the zone right now.

the ponies will allways be there for you...dont fret ,,keep your toes tappin..another woman/race is on the way...

Advice so good he needs to read it twice!!

^%$$(^&%%&^%^&%)%*&&*%^&%&%&^%..steve Its A Back O The Shirt Day..lol.....

I know exactly what you're feeling, it's a gut shot. Hang in there man.

What are you crying about, she did you a favor. Why would you want to get married? Just find a girl you hate, and buy her a house. The end result will be the same.

Just dont take off on women until the spring, there is a lot of fresh tail at every turn. My grandfather used to say "everything happens for a reason" which he applied in all facets...including racing. You will learn from your handicapping mis steps today and you will find a girl even better than this other chick. :cool:

I like the advice about the horses. No matter what, the ponies will always be there for you. They will never talk back to you, they will never make you go to a stupid movie--all they want is for you to watch them race. Good luck man and a new year is right around the corner.

Great point! Reminds me of the 2003 ALCS Red Sox/Yankees game 7...Boone hits the homer, and me as a Sox fan, am just depressed. However, flipped right over to TVG and caught the end of "The Quarters". Not a fan of QHR, but seeing the ponies lightened my mood...a little!

thanks guys for posting on here. I was pretty hammered when i typed this up today but you guys are right everything happens for a reason. Im just so off cappin the last couple of weeks it frustrating and too have crappy stuff happening in personal life makes it even worse. Like you guys say things happen for a reason will prob head out to CD tomm for final day of track and try to do better. Thanks for the friendly input on here guys i really appreciate it.

Ive been getting killed on everything from NY to TX(Sam Houston) the past few weeks.
just brought home the top 2 finishers in the Japan Cup Dirt including the $36 winner.
Life is good again.
dont worry about the girl wac.
there are lots of girls out there, but we only get one chance to play each race.
I'll take a good day at the track over a good night with a girl any day of the week.

and btw,
Im not redboarding.
its all there in the International Racing section of the forum.

I hope wac doesn't follow this advice. to me a good night with a girl is always better than a day at the track.

there are hundreds of races to play each day, how many chances in your life will you have at landing that perfect girl? it would be a shame to miss that chance because you were playing a PK3 at Mountaineer.

did she completely shoot the idea down? i mean as far as in the future? was it a never answer, or i'm not ready right now? if she said not now, than i see no reason for an ending....if she is not interested ever, than it's good that you asked now, rather than say three years down the road.
i'm a firm believer in happy endings. if she isn't the one, someone else will be.
and of course there's no way to lessen the pain, you have to 'mourn' and then move on. er, unlike one guy around here that is....
good luck, be patient til the pain goes away.

That's actually pretty funny, probably because it's true for at least 25% of guys. So many couples end up that way--Fanof's advice would save a lot of heartache along the way. But if you take your time and use a little reason, it doesn't have to be that way.

Hooves, ArlJim, Suffolk, and Danzig have already provided excellent advice/support. Re-read those posts.

If it makes you feel any better, I still cant figure out chicks...

Marriage is a form of addiction.It's the one addiction that is encouraged by society.

you guys are awesome thanks for giving me a lift. Danzig to ans you no she didn't say never and she is a bit younger then me so i guess i'll just chill out on it for a while. Its not like a bought a ring but it was the old " what if?" i still didn't hit anything today at CD so im glad the meet is over b/c i was bleeding money. Thanks to all i appreciate your kind comments i really do. thanks so much.

This is good news! Most chicks are all about getting hitched, be thankful yours isnt! Something tells me she will be there for you when she is ready.

PS You need to invite all of us posting in this thready to the wedding and do your best to make sure its open bar :)

and make sure it's not on a big racing day!
