"RichardMelt-my-heart"  GOOD ONE, Paris! 

He certainly won't be lacking for romance when he visits!!!

[aharris2]

Well, Anna, sounds like if we can get RichardMelt-my-heart to come over, we can promise him a really good time!! We will have the ladies lined up and waiting!

This RichardMel guy is just the hottest thing - he likes to cuddle  , he always says just the right thing, and he loves and is loved by Celeste   . This guy is one special guy.

RichardMelt-my-heart (like your posts so frequently do), count me in as one of your (not so) secret admirers !

That girl (the booter) eeds to have her head examined!  to her!

[G-Ma]

RM...how do you feel about acquiring a "harem" of cuddlers?    

[paris]

I have to give credit; I think Lucinda called Richard that first.  It just seems so appropriate.  Such a sweetie!!   

[Robby712]

Richard Mel is the Don Juan of I Hate Dialysis.  This man has you all wrapped around his little finger...good work man. 

[Sluff]

Wait a minute!  Do I have to ban Richard Melt Mel to get more attention around here?  geeeeez and I thought I was popular  What did I do so wrong  oh boy oh boy wait til I get my hands on RM....  And I suppose he thinks I'm going to share doesn't he. Well maybe for the right price in AMERICAN dollars I must remind you.             

[kitkatz]

Sluff, maybe is was your mighty weapon you mentioned in another post that scared them all off. I TOLD you to cover it!

[G-Ma]

Hoss has always been my HERO........do you cuddle???   

[highlite36]

Sluff baby, all you need to do is tell everyone that you've been in the hospital and you need all of the wonderful beautiful ladies of IHD to "help" you feel a little better!!!  

[RichardMEL]

hmmmm a cuddle (or three) in every state... I could handle that. Is that the flirts version of "a girl in every port" uh oh I could get a very BAD reputation out of all this... Maybe I should just stay single and far away......

[RichardMEL]

Gosh darnit and the Aussie dollar just lost about 20% against the US Dollar in the last little while This is going to cost me big time... and to think I just saw United now fly non stop from Melbourne to LA (well will do over the new year,anyway). hmmm...

Anna has a daughter? uh oh that could get real dangerous. Paris I am waiting for the full resumes and photo folios!! If they're going to fight over me perhaps Sluff can provide the bikinis and jelly???

OK that's just gone a bit wrong !!!

*blush at everyone's kind words and I love the melt thing.. clever whoever came up with it*

Really, I am not worthy... I mean there's flip and sluff and joe paul and zacb and heck even Staufenberg!!!

[Sluff]

Sluff baby, all you need to do is tell everyone that you've been in the hospital and you need all of the wonderful beautiful ladies of IHD to "help" you feel a little better!!!  

You have a point there..hmmm..I did manage to get 2 threads over that hospital stay didn't I.   

[paris]

Sluff, we are just giving you a little rest time.  We want you stong and able, so just let us know when you are up to speed    We don't want your BP skyrocketing again

[RichardMEL]

Yes my BP has been a little high thinking about Paris' daughters and now Anna's daughter!

 

[G-Ma]

Yes sluff...work that hospital stay.....

[twirl]

Richard---- what kind of jelly?

[flip]

When I think about Australia, Steve Irwin (Crocodile Hunter) comes to mind. Richard may be hunting something other than crocs.

[RichardMEL]

"Be vewy vewy quiet... we're hunting daughters...." 

Oh no wait it's duck season isn't it? no, rabbit season... DUCK SEASON!!

Oh you know how that goes....

 

[Lucinda]

RichM.....I am devastated.  How long have I been calling you RichardMelt my Heart?  I can't believe you forgot where it came from.  I said that to you the first night I met you....That's how much our date meant to you....I am just going to have to cry into my pillow every night now.  That's it.....I am loving Sluff from now on.  And to think I was considering coming down to see you next week to cheer you up!!!  I have been traded in for all these gorgeous young women on the other side of the world.  I feel SOOOOOO Old right now.

Seriously though, anyone who gets RM is getting a really special gorgeous guy.  I am proud to call him my friend - even if our date meant nothing to him!!!!

I met my husband three years ago and to say we did it tough in the early stages is an understatement.  I haven't started dialysis yet but he has watched three of my family members including my father pass away from renal disease since I met him.  Although he was aware of the future, he has now witnessed the reality and if anything it has made him less selfish and more considerate as time has gone on.  I start dialysis in November and we are heading to Europe for the whole of October which is really exciting.  But I say this to everyone.  How a partner or perspective partner handles your problem is not your problem.  If they can't handle it, it is usually because they have their own issues and it is easier to blame it on your issues.  Someone with little or no baggage will have no problems with handling your problems if they really care about you.  I went out with a man once who had shocking scarring....but the most important part of him had no scars at all....his heart.  I adored him but he stopped going out with me because he had issues not me.  Trust me.....the nice ones won't let dialysis get in the way or a loving relationship.  God, if I was 20 years younger, single, perfectly healthy and met RichardM.....I would grab him with both arms and not let him go.  If this disease does nothing else, it makes us appreciate and accept people for who they are.  I have been lucky enough to meet Richard and I just loved him.  I assure you he is just as lovely in real space as he is in cyber space and a really nice girl is going to find that and fall in love with him the way he deserves.  I have absolutely no doubt about that.

Keep you chin up Rich and if you promise to be nice to me, I might just consider coming down to see you soon. xxxx

[RichardMEL]

:p

lol

how can you say our date meant nothing to me??? I cherish it so much... such a special evening... lovely food... lovely company.... if you weren't married and 20... hold on I'm only like 10 years younger than you WHAT THE..>  :p

So glad your hubby is now being more supportive and considerate that is really great to hear. Europe in October... I am horribly envious!!!

well done!

[twirl]

RichardMel is now RomeoMel

[okarol]

Trust me.....the nice ones won't let dialysis get in the way or a loving relationship.  God, if I was 20 years younger, single, perfectly healthy and met RichardM.....I would grab him with both arms and not let him go.  If this disease does nothing else, it makes us appreciate and accept people for who they are. 

Well said Cindy!

I think with all relationships there has to be alot of understanding. I met my soulmate 7 years ago. I was honest with him and told him about my dialysis as we got to know each other he educated himself on the dialysis process and even surprised me by showing up at my dialysis center to find out more about my treatments and all that I had to go through.
There are days when life is not easy but we make the best of it. I love to garden,  he loves photography I plant and he documents my garden .
I stopped feeling unattractive the day I showed him my scars and he kissed them. I have been blessed to find someone that is understanding of my situation and is supportive in the good and bad times.
I know both sides of the coin for I was in an unhealthy relationship for 21 years and was reminded everyday of what a burden my illness was.
There is hope and the right person for everyone
