You are one strong woman, Susan. Sometimes I wonder if a man and a woman are really meant to spend their lives together, or if it should just be encounters and seasons you can be together, so maybe there will not be so much heartache..... Love Desi! Such a sweet dog! Happy birthday!
After 42 years together, I divorced him. He was the love of my life. I was nothing more than the maid. Took care of everything and he was the wage earner for the family. Now at 70, I am alone, but never lonely. I developed my own style, got a dog, and I truly enjoy my way of life now. I put everyone before me, and took care of every thing and every one but myself. I do not look back because God does not want me to live in the past. Happy Birthday Desi. I have a Dixie Grace, a one year old female doberman. Only you can make yourself content and happy. Took me a while to learn that lesson.
I completely understand you and agree with you. There comes a time when you realize enough is enough and it’s time to live life and enjoy it for yourself. God bless you and wishing you all the best!
You are so strong. I’m so glad you got out after such a long mariage. I feel your words because I’m in the same situation “ im nothing but the maid”. One dag ( soon) i will be free. Enjoy life. You are an inspiration❤.
We were in the eye of the storm. House damage, large trees down, no water, no power, no internet and no phone service for a week, but praise the Lord noone was hurt. The storm happened on my husband's 90th birthday. He and I had several wonderful talks, at night in the dark. It was so dark, we couldn't even see each other..love your channel..love and blessigs to you and Desi. 🦋 HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLESSINGS TO DESI.🎂🎉
I’m an Asheville, NC girl living in Charleston, SC for 9 years. Helene menaced us in Charleston. We huddled in our closet for 3 hours starting at 3am with back-to-back tornado warnings, but nothing happened, thank God. She flew by on her black wings that night like a 70 mph freight train on her way to destroy my hometown and region in Asheville. The devastation is mind boggling and my heart is with my people there. But, Somehow God spared the lives of all my family and friends. I’m so proud of my people, Susan. No power, no water, no cell, no internet and yet when the storm passed everyone I know came out if their houses and started helping their neighbors and still are. Please pray for Western North Carolina. There’s a long long way to go, but I am safe. ❤ Happy birthday, Desi🎉
When a man cheats, it’s over. Cannot work through it, never trust again. Rather be alone, than with someone that you cannot trust. It does not matter if they want to make it up to you. One time is all anyone gets.
@@cf9399 been married 30 years. I am a no nonsense no messups person. My kids went to one high school, one college, one grad school. Those were the ground rules. They received their masters at 21. My husband would never cheat, because I would not tolerate it. I would never cheat, because I have a wonderful husband. There are too many important places to go and bucket lists to accomplish in our lifetime. Why waste time with another person?
Dear Susan and Desi, HAPPY BIRTHDAY you very handsome boy! I think you grooming and giving him a massage was one of the sweetest things I've seen. I'm so happy you found him and gave him this wonderful life. Many more birthdays to the king of the backyard. Love, Hilah
LP: The opening celebrating Desi's 11th birdthday is absolutely your best opener yet! His sweet little face radiated the love and joy he was experiencing at that very moment. Doesn't get any better than that.❤
You make me laugh...I am a Widow and sometimes I enjoy being alone....About 5 minutes per month I miss being with a man, at about 3 minutes I get goose bumps, but than I start thinking about cleaning the bathroom, cooking what he wants for dinner, laundry etc...I know that sounds selfish, but you last Husband was a narcissist.....my Son lives in TN, WHERE the storm went through and they are fine.. My Granddaughter lives 30 mins away and her town lost bridges also electricity for a week, and now she is fine, Thank God! ❤
If I could tell my younger self something at 65, it would be when they show you who they are, believe them. My second husband was abusive. He gave me signs along the way that I ignored. I suffered 26 years with him because he told me I couldn't do it without me. I'm wiser now.
There is never such a sad lonely feeling than when you realize the person you love can make you feel so very alone. I haven’t heard even a “good night “ in years. Actually knowing all you are is nothing more than that piece of furniture I’m sitting on…that is me. Happy Birthday Sweet Boy Desi ❤️ I had to come back and just say I would move on but I have a chronic illness and no family. Loneliness is so prevalent now, probably always has been, I find that so sad.
Decades more birthdays to you dear Desi. You bring so much joy and happiness to others. You were so blessed to have Susan to love you. You deserve it little one, for all you have been through. Susan you are truly one in a billion.
Ya..I married a carpenter…very masculine…sexy men can dance! My man could dance…he could grill..he was personable…he was fun…thoughtful…strong. 52 years of that… I made a bad mistake when I was 18..married and divorced within 18 months..no children..second marriage bingo! Love until, death did part us. Two beautiful children… I am nearing 75 with 4 beautiful grandchildren and memories to cherish forever
I smiled so big reading your words! I could feel the love...I could see your husband grilling and being thankful you were his wife...what a lovey vision you have given me! Happy fall my friend, much love, Susan & Desi
I married a foreign man I met while in the Army. He pursued me and I would always joke he needed a green card Lol. He was average looking, but I luved the sound of his voice and sense of humor. I wanted the divorce he didn't. He's remarried per face book thru my friend. I have no children by choice. Definitely the voice and humor are key for me. Having lost my dog almost 3 yrs ago, this is what I miss most. Turning 70 the end of Oct. I'm looking to volunteer at my local animal shelter for now. My sister wants to know how many I adopt. Ha ha! You are the first you tuber I subscribed to, enjoy the videos.
Thank you Susan and Happy birthday to sweet Desi I so love him he's so adorable and sings so sweet and Susan every week you inspire me I wished I had a sm home and a life like you I know I'd be so much better off just because your married doesn't mean anything when their nit with you really with you Happy Friday and wishing you a blessed week from my heart to yours Nanyang blessings 🙌 ❤🌹🤗
Made me cry when u said u dont feel so alone because of us! Thats the way we ( at least I) feel about you! I know ive told you this before..but so many times your videos have helped me not feel so alone about growing older..
I used to have 3 dogs and as of 3 weeks ago, now I have none. I really enjoyed Desi singing. At some point I will get another dog,but not right now. My cat is 17 years old and my dogs lived until 17,19 and unknown but at least 18. I am 70, soon to be 71 and I don’t think I was cheated on (except one guy in high school). I thought Yul Brenner was the sexiest most attractive man ever! My husband died 17 years ago and I have had one serious relationship since then, but honestly I am content with my own company and the company of friends. I really enjoy our weekly visits and reading the comments as well. I also think Hal is a good guy. Thanks for all you do and Happy Birthday to Desi!
I never even questioned your motive. You're an open book. A warm, genuine and honest woman who has helped me more than I can say. 💖 Happy birthday to the sweetest little boy Desi 🎂🎉 Love you both.
I believe because you are genuine and you share your heart; you are honest and it lets each one of us relate to so much of what you share. Women don't visit, have coffee, talk about their marriage their kids, lift up and support one another. So many women work, are running their kids to sports, practices and events, so younger women don't have that woman to woman support and encouragement. I am 79 and I find most women my age are just surviving and have little interest or knowledge outside of their immediate family. Also, I have a high maintenance husband (a lot due to his health & a lot due to his PTSD) and most of my energy, both physical and emotional is spent taking care of him and doing all the work to maintain my home and yard. I really don't have the energy to spend on friendship. So, I grab a few minutes to share with you each week. And thank you for loving Desi so well. He's such a sweetie.
I begged when I was seven months pregnant, didn’t do any good. Spilt anyway but quickly asked me back. I should have said no, he only got meaner. After 3 boys & 13 years, I couldn’t take his abuse anymore. I thought I could show my love and it would magically fix my marriage. It made him meaner & I started hating myself. I am old now, alone & ok. God bless you & yours
Janice I completely understand I fell madly in love with my husband married he went off to Vietnam and I had our girl daughter 55 yrs later still married many separations I just wished I was stronger I didn't have options not like now a days I knew better definitely wanted better had options with other men deep down inside I loved this knucklehead were so different 💔 I'm 72 yes I dream of starting over enough of me woman don't settle! Best to you 😅
Desi looks so Gorgeous today ❤ his pampering has really worked Happy Birthday 🎈🎂 Desi Pets are so easy to Love and they give back so much Love too For me Kindness is the most Attractive thing about a Man
I found out my fiancé had been cheating on me a month before our wedding. We stayed together and then, 10 days before the wedding, he called and told me he couldn't go through with the wedding. I was sad I wasn't getting married, but I had such peace. I married 2 years later and have been happily married to the same man for 40 years. My former fiancé? He married the girl he cheated on me with and they got divorced a few years after that...
Arlo Guthrie?!! I had his album - you can get anything you want at Alice’s Restaurant, I don’t want a pickle, I just want to ride my motorcycle! You went on the road with him at 16?! I’m in awe. I too was cheated on more times than I know and abandoned. He has gone on to cheat on four more wives and abandon them. It’s really very sad and I feel sorry for him. Happy Birthday Desi’🎉🦴🦴🦴🦴🦴 I love this video and you and Desi. ❤
I listen to Alice's Restaurant every Thanksgiving at noon. I made my kids listen to it when they got old enough. They just thought I was weird. If you haven't, check out his daughter and Willie Nelson's daughter in their duo, Folk Uke...they're hilarious!
Sarasota FL here. We evacuated about 10 miles east. We were fine. It was a big scary storm, I was literally shaking and couldn't eat for a few days before the storm hit. Our house was fine, electric came on today. The neighborhood looks like a bomb hit it.
A tall, strong kind man who can fix and build things and cook is my turn on. I agree with you, going down that path of past hurts is best left alone. I learned from it and not going there no more. Happy birthday sweet Desi! You really belted it out today. ❤❤❤
What a beautiful video as always but this one was super special being Desi’s birthday. Happy birthday sweet baby boy!! I so much love your singing 🎵 aloha from Arizona
Expecting 500 at florida shelters but 1700 came!!! Bus loads came during the night with dogs. No one turned away. I had a grade school desk I used and met like 5 gals alone too and we had fun talking. Two different handsome cops would take turns as they walked by and whisper in my ear!! Ofcourse I giggled and flirted right back!! One whispered " did ya get that report done yet or must I go after you??" I said " hey baby bring it on!!" We then giggle. It kept my mind off storm by banter with them. My new pals said " omg they are cute" it was like a huge pj party with strangers who were so nice. My home had very minor issues. Thank God
Aww, love Desi and you. Happy 11th birthday to Desi! I've spent the last 2 weeks dealing with the east TN and western NC devastation. We collected well over $300,000 for supplies (food, water, generators, fuel, etc., plus donated clothing) - and the donations keep coming in! Most of the donation dollars have been spent and delivered at this point but this is not over. It's going to take a long time to recover for these folks. The questions were thought provoking and I enjoyed your answers. I'll have to ponder on mine and perhaps I'll get back to you.
Happy Birthday to Desi. I love a confident, intelligent, kind man with a good sense of humor. I'm also attracted to the Carpenter type.😊 Hope you have a wonderful week.
Happy Birthday Desi !!❤ Thank you for sharing your videos with all of us ! We so look forward to our Saturday's with the both of you. Your an amazing woman !! Hugs & Love 💕
I think you are a very talented, caring and helpful woman. I've been watching your channel for 2 years now. I have learnt a lot about skin care and use some of the products that you have shared. I don't wear makeup, but you are a makeup artist. You do it beautifully. I have learnt about artist and stories behind some of the most notable paintings. You have shared your gift of music, which I love! Music is like the air I breathe. I can't live without it. You have shared fashion which I have purchased some of the things you showed. I have your Sweet Potato Bread recipe in my recipe binder. It is yummy! You have been very open about your life to help women and men. Your videos are so creative! I truly enjoy them and LOVE seeing you and Desi at the end. You always make me smile and that is priceless! I appreciate all that you do in your work! Thank you! ❤
I agree with everything you shared about men and relationships. Especially learning that we have value and deserve to be treated with respect. Now, at 72, I no longer desire to be in a relationship, it's too exhausting. I do believe each relationship/marriage I have been through has taught me so much about myself. I just wish I had known "me" better all those years ago. Thank you for sharing your views, and Happy Birthday 🎉 little Desi!!
We love you cause you're real. You feel, love, and share your life openly. I'll be 73 tomorrow, I'm alone also. But never lonely. God is good and life is always an adventure.
First….Happy Birthday Desi!❤🎉 Susan this video was so beautiful. When you were sharing about special moments in your life I could really see your deep feelings through your eyes. I’m divorced, he left me for another woman. I was devastated but survived. It really helps to be part of a community meaning your RU-vid channel. Oh how long for someone to really love me, but for now, I must breathe and carry on alone. I’m not really alone. I have my furry kid. My dog Tessa. And of course, my grandchildren bring me such joy and are a blessing from the marriage that didn’t work out.
My hubby bought me a gold charm bracelet the first year we were married. It had a scorpion and a virgin for our astrological signs. It also had a typewriter. I was a secretary. It had a comical bird with the words "worry bird" written on its base. As the years went by he added 2 gold spheres (1 when my son was born and one for my daughter). Then came a small gold globe, and a computer (all miniatures, of course). I recently gave it to my granddaughter. The other one got my engagement ring and my daughter got my 25th Anniversary diamond.
Happy Birthday Desi, you are such a sweet little boy, I look forward to seeing you every week, love you. I think to me the sexiest man was Elvis Presley he had it all.
You do a great job with ur videos! Thanks for sharing ur feelings and experiences with us. It makes all of us feel less alone. Happy Birthday Desi, the best singer on youtube! ❤
Hello dear Susan!! Happy birthday to your precious Desi!! I hope he enjoys his special day!! I’m not married & never have been cheated on, and at my age, I feel like I’m better off by myself!! I hurt deeply for any woman who has been cheated on!! Thank you for sharing your story with us!! I’m with you in prayer for all those who have been affected by the recent hurricanes!! I pray that you and your family are safe & well!! Have a blessed week ahead!! Lots of love and prayers to you and yours!!😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🎂🎂🎂
The trees with the orange leaves are gorgeous! I miss living in the North! Tennessee won’t have this color for another month and I never have seen them so vibrant as I have in the North….Happy Birthday Desi!!🎉
Happy Birthday Desi! 🐶 🙋♀️Thank you for your kind thoughts! I’m born and raised in Miami and currently live in Fort Pierce Fl. Believe me it was very scary, alls good tho! 😇
I love that you mentioned men's strong forearms as being attractive. I have always thought that, and thought to myself, does anyone feel the same way? Do glad to know you do too! 😅 I am single and have lived alone for a very long time. I am happy and content. Peaceful. However...a Miracle Man is on the way...I feel it. If not, living in your own space, and living in peace is Nirvana to me!❤
Oh , this is one of the cutest videos of Desi! I smiled the entire time. Thank you for another great video. I’m mostly alone in my house. My partner of almost 18 years has his own place in a town 40 miles away. Only comes on a weekend but I can’t complain because he helps with yard work and other things that need fixing. There is no affection ; really nothing , but I’m grateful for his help. I miss being with someone who would hold me and say the things you mentioned in your video . At my age, (78), I now have given up on ever finding love again. He isn’t able to be affectionate in any way and thinks it’s just fine of how we get along😢. He has said many times that he can’t give me what I’m looking for . He knows that I have always been a very loving person. I continue to stay with him . At least we have each other on weekends to go out to eat and once in a while take a day trip somewhere, but it feels so lonely to have a partner who really is not part of my life every day. 18 years of this is a very long time. I keep busy with my flower garden , and much else . When you have a house , there is always work to be done. Your videos are always the highlight of my week. Love to you and Desi. ❤️❤️
Happy Birthday, sweet Desi! You’re such a handsome boy with a wonderful disposition. We all love you and your lovely Mom. God Bless you both. ❤️❤️🎉🎁🎂🙏🏼🙏🏼
Happy Birthday Desi!! You are the cutest little guy!! I’m 66 and a widow for 8 years now. He was my 2nd husband. The best thing that ever happened to me! The first one was a cheater and the father of my 2 daughters. We haven’t seen or spoken in almost 20 years.
Happy Birthday you cutie! I used to sing to my sweet Kimi but she never found her singing voice! She passed away Aug.30 and I miss her dearly. I wish you many special years to come with Desi.
Get another dog. There are so many dogs that need a loving, caring home. My last doberman girl passed and I waited 2 years because I grieved her loss that long. Found another dobie puppy and I can honestly say that I do not have time to be lonely. I wish you the best.
@@jmar665 Thank you. I appreciate your advice. Friends say the same. I do need a little time to morn and I have to consider our age, 88 and 72. We certainly can't adopt a pup! Lots of considerations.🐶
@@lyndasteinway4759 Consider adopting an older dog at the shelter. They are often the last to get adopted and definitely need a home. They are always grateful to you for bringing them into your home and they don't bring the challenge of puppy hood - going out several times a night, accidents in the house till they learn to go outside and tearing up your favorite slippers .... Wishing you well!
Great video. I relate to most everything you said. In fact, I think my answers would be the same. Andy Williams seemed so calming and dapper and gentlemanly. As for the attraction to a fellow, mind would be the same as yours and I would have to include a man who understands me and who I really am, not only on the outside but the inside and my heart is the most important and yes, to be interactive in conversation and not expecting this or that but to be a partner in everything even in conversation. I'm with you Susan on your answers. LOL I am about 7 years older than you so I really get everything you speak to. This was a fun video and I love the poems and remarks written on the pages .............and I've yet to see anyone I am acquainted with Limp. LOL You look lovely tonight as always. Happy Birthday Desi.......too cute and so happy he had a Darling Birthday!!
Omy goodness those questions🫠 they are just roo much!! I cant even put into words! 😂 Susan you are sweet in answering them. My goodness I know i wouldn't have been as open & sharing on some! Happy birthday to Desi who looks no where near 11 yrs! It must be the good & happy life he has with his Loving owner!!☺️ I love the groom and massage treat he had. His singing with you at end is like the frosting on cake🎂 God bless & enjoy your week🎉🐶
You are such an inspiration and I love everything about your channel. Especially the end where you and Desi sign off (especially when you have a duet!). Don’t change a thing!
It warms my heart every week when I get to see you and Desi singing.. btw you did an excellent job on his haircut. Can’t tell it wasn’t professional. He’s a handsome guy. In answer to one of the questions, I had my heart broken by my husband many years ago when he left me for a much younger woman. He had 2 children with her. We had none. One day many years later, he called out of the blue to tell say he always loved me. Of course, you guessed it, she left him with the children and I guess he thought I’d come running back. He was wrong. It did sadden my heart when I found out he passed away in 2022. Some of the old feelings came flooding back for a moment.
