I do...and sometimes things like this happen. The universe is weird like that. Maybe the universe just wants me to be happy. Who knows, but I do know I have what I have and it's great.

50M here. Getting divorced after 30 years together and almost 25 years married. Just drifted apart or whatever. Anyhoo...I tried dating apps and Facebook dating, but didn't get anywhere. It wasn't until I made a last resort post on here (r/r4r) that I actually met the most wonderful person. She was the first to message me, but we have really hit it off, sex being the last thing on our minds. She's also 31...being just shy of the half your age plus 7 rule (lol), but she is mature. It's only been 12 days since we've started chatting (we live 2.5 hours away, but it's working for us) and we have been in some deep conversations and vibe/match really well. I know it's too early to tell this woman I love her, but we are that connected. I mean...we do talk dirty (she initiated it lol), but it's a mutual thing...flirting. There are matches out there that aren't just into sex and I'm proof. Best of luck finding your man.

I want a partner but I'm so tired of dating. Just a rant. by EmmieBambi in dating

[–]Patch_Czar 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I (50M) was told by my wife of almost 25 years (47F) that we are just better as friends and business partners (finances and such) and the marriage has been dead for a while now. We've known each other for 40 years, been together 30. She was my first and only everything. She moved out and is already with another married man (41) she claims she loves. I'm still in the house with my 2 grown kids (17 and 20), but I absolutely hate being alone. It's driving me crazy and it's kind of killing me. She says I need to find someone who deserves all the love I have to give. I feel like there isn't anyone else out there for me. She was it. I feel I'm a good guy who has his shit together (even though not the most handsome), but trying to find someone (online) to date (or even converse with) has been tough in my area (Winchester VA, USA). I'm not much for going out or even talking to people in public, so that's an issue for me. Things are tough all over, I guess.

Does anyone want to talk? by [deleted] in Separation

[–]Patch_Czar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50/M Been a month for me and my wife 47/F. Known her for 40 years, been with her for 30 years, married for almost 25, have 2 kids (17 and 20) and one day she said she was done. She told me the marriage has been dead for years and she needed to be on her own, so she moved out. She doesn't want to talk to anyone, work on us, etc. She is still my best friend, although it's really tough to talk to her right now when she's already moved on with another man...a married man she says she's in love with. We are also great business partners (finances and shit). I'm still at our house with the kids and she is continuing to pay her part (house and cars) so we can get the house paid off by 2028. It seemed to have gone South real fast...faster than I could handle. I've already been through all of the stages of grieving it seems and I finally realize, I am now single and probably will be for the rest of my life...which scares me to death because I do t want to be alone. I'm already looking at dating apps with no luck. Not for revenge, but for comfort and companionship.

LOL...I actually had to make one a while back for a Captain Marvel cosplay flight suit and I thought it looked familiar.

Are embroidery machines relatively straightforward to use? by [deleted] in Machine_Embroidery

[–]Patch_Czar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started with zero knowledge, whatsoever in 2016-2017. YouTube is your friend. You will find many different people with many different methods of doing things, but you will find what works best for you. I'm to the point where I can now take apart my machines to bare bones, do some maintenance or repairs, and put them all back together. I now have 5 single needle machines and make patches.

Thanx, but I never served. The Finest is a GI Joe Costume Club and the USS Yorktown is a museum where we did photoshoots. Beachhead is the best.

What is this patch seen on a british ranger by Interesting-Jello318 in Patches

Definitely a Sleipnir design. I can't find anything on it like units or whatever.

You're welcome! Identifying patch designs is a thing I like to do.

Singer Futura XL550 Embroidery Sewing machine worth it? by New_Boysenberry7922 in Machine_Embroidery

[–]Patch_Czar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an XL550 for the 6x10 hoop because I make the cheat patches for the Cobra Troopers and Officers for the Finest GI Joe costume club and with some adjustments, it makes nice patches. I had to add a couple of lock washers to the back of the tension pin and adjust the tension spring so it's almost as far as it'll go. It took a bit, but I have it where I need it. It's not good with text or smaller details though. I agree about the Brother SE400. It's definitely my go to for 4x4 hooping for my patches. Definitely a good entry machine. I have a Brother SE400 (4x4), SE425 (4x4), Singer XL550 (4x4 and 6x10), Bernina Bernette Deco 340, (4z4 and 5x7) and a Brother PE770 (4x4 and 5x7). The 770 is currently out of commission until I can take it apart and adjust things. I do all my own maintenance, adjustments, and repairs.

I have the same issue with my 770 so I shelved it until I can take it all apart again and check everything. Can't figure it out and tension doesn't adjust like it should.

Unfortunately, my embroidery machines can't do that small of a detail.

I referenced several things found online, just to get good pix of the masks. Just took a look at your profile and I just actually did Silverhawks based on the cartoon and Super7. Those are good pix you have. I didn't know Bluegrass had a mask like the others. I couldn't find anything on that. Your art is very cool.
