Trail Ride #3

If you can count to 3, (which if you are following my blog I may have my doubts, lol) you will notice I skipped Trail Ride #2.  "Nattyator" - as he named himself for my blog - is still a friend.  Unfortunately I have no funny stories to tell on him.  Which may have something to do with why we are no longer 'we' :)  I can say our ride started with him sending me a friend request on facebook that pretty much said... 'Ralph told me to look you up so here I am'.  Yes, the effort was there from the beginning, lmao!

So, on to Trail Ride #3...
This will be brief, as was our encounter.  We met and started conversation via phone.  The conversations were great.  One night we spent over 6 hours on the phone.  We talked so long, I had to go outside and plug my phone in to keep talking.  We learned more about each other than I knew about either of my husbands (hmmm).  I did meet him once in person.  He came down and took me out to eat and we watched a movie.  We continued to talk for about a week.  One Tuesday night we were talking.  He said he had to go but would call me back in about an hour.  This was the last I ever heard from him.  Now you may think something horrible happened to him, as did I.  But I soon gave up my attempts to track him down in every obituary, hospital and police station between here and Kansas City.  A few months passed and I couldn't help but wonder how his uncle was.  His uncle had been taking chemo treatments so I had continued to pray for his health on a daily basis.  So, I shot a text message to TR3, not expecting a response.  Not a minute later he replied saying his uncle was doing much better... HOLY SHIT... he's ALIVE lol.  After a brief chit-chat my blood started to boil and I plainly asked him WTH happened to him.  His reply was he just didn't feel a connection between the two of us.  Fair enough I say.  Followed by a tactful response of letting him know a polite "no thanks" or even a "get bent" would have been better than the chicken shit move he pulled.  My peace was said and all was right with the world again!
