trish123: yes really


Trish, you are a worthwile person, and very intelligent.

I have no doubt.

But do not ever think I will agree with you, after past behaviour.

trish123: * What is the significance of our role as women in shaping the future of our world?
* How do we awaken our authentic feminine power and strength?
* How can we lead in ways that express, compassionately, these authentic feminine values?
* How can we step into the fullness of our creativity and our voice?
* What's the relationship between our own inner transformation and our power to change the world?
* How do we best care for ourselves and our families while making a big contribution to the world?
* Where should we give our energy and attention in order to have the greatest impact?
* How can we best work together and support each other fully in this process?


This whole post is encouraging men -v- woman.

No one is stronger/more intelligent/more influential than the other.

We work together. Thats the whole point. Isnt it???

Sat Oct 10, 2009 9:41 PM CST : War on Terrorism is an endless war. Is it so????
chughtayejee: The war against terrorism has been at the forefront of U.S foreign policy. Many people believe the United States should be more aggressive in combating terror.
Others characterize the goal of eliminating terror as impossibility.


The United States will never win.

I thought that was obvious

Sat Oct 10, 2009 4:50 PM CST : Why do people hide their country of birth?
jessejess47: I may have moved to the States, but my nationality will always be British/Irish. I am proud of those roots, and although I may start to take on a American "twang" in time, as my sister has done after several years of living here, I will never lose my accent of birth and would never want to. I am teased here about certain words I say, or the way I pronounce certain things, but it is all in good faith, and someone the other day specifically wanted me to speak to them just to hear my accent..

In answer to the OP, I dont know why. I can only assume it comes down to trying to be accepted quicker, or easier, or because they are somehow thinking that unless they adopt the accent, they will not be a true "American", or a true native of whatever adopted country they have decided upon.


Sorry, that was me..doh blushing

Sat Oct 10, 2009 4:30 PM CST : At what moment in your life have you felt really proud?
I feel so proud right now..

Jesse and I have gone through the most stressful time of our lives recently, due to immigration requirements. He has run himself into the ground, chasing outstanding bills, doing whatever needed to be done, making sure I was still happy and generally being Superman. I know how stressed he has been, and he has still always been there for me, all day, every day and every second..

I have been humbled by what a strong, loving and caring man he is - even though I already knew this of course, but he has still surprised me with his inner strength.

He has made me so, so proud of him and just underlined the fact that I made the right decision to uproot my life for him.

Love you, J..lips

Sat Oct 10, 2009 1:43 PM CST : SCAMMER WARNING!. 2009-09-23 (List)
rizlared: As someone who says they are a regular user of CS, maybe you should read the rules.Lists are dangerous


I agree..thumbs up

Most of us are adults on here, and have some degree of wit. We are able to spot scammers for ourselves, or if one does slip through the net we deal with it and move on.

If we all put threads up everytime we all got scamming emails, the forums will be clogged up worse than LA on a Friday evening..doh

Sat Oct 10, 2009 1:40 PM CST : Sense of Humour
saoirse65: I think that we all have different senses of humour.
I love a joke and a slagging.
I do believe though that if you make a joke at somebody elses expense it is not funny. I think that making someone else feel small is not funny. I feel that if you need to make fun of someone else to make yourself feel better then you should rethink about yourself.
I do not like racist or prejudiced jokes.
I also think that being politically correct has killed humour, we can still slag each other without being offensive.
I posted this because I made a remark on another thread which I realized was not funny but offensive.(I was a pratt)
So what are your opinions on a sense of humour? What is funny? What is offensive?
I think that sometimes I prefer wit... I love Oscar Wilde..


Hi Mary..wave

Oh, God, we have ALL done that one!!

laugh

I think on a medium such as this one it is soooo easy to misconstrue others' intentions and meanings, especially when something is said in humour/sarcasm by another. I guess thats the nature of the beast..

I agree with you, I dont like racist jokes particularly. But sometimes it is easy to see when someone is saying it in a jokey manner or really does have an agenda. Most of us are able to grasp that, but some of course, will never..

Subtle humour and dry humour to me is far funnier and much more effective than outright slapstick or "digging" type humour. As you say, one can still "slag", without being overtly offensive, and the point generally is still made..grin

Sat Oct 10, 2009 1:33 PM CST : People Pleasers, Say "NO"!
HealthyLiving: Thank you for sharing this life experience with us!

Shared experiences help us grow into more mature, self-understanding people. In your case, you have overcome low self-esteem!

I hope your example will help many others and encourage them that it can be accomplished!!As stated earlier, I get myself into jams due to being overly compassionate. It is not an issue of self-esteem for me.


thumbs up thumbs up wave

Sat Oct 10, 2009 12:45 PM CST : People Pleasers, Say "NO"!
petalbabe: I used to be afraid to say "No". I used to run around, trying to please everyone, do what I thought was the "right thing", say what I want others wanted to hear. It made me physically sick at times - the stress of trying to please..

Then, I realised why I was doing it. It was because my self esteem was at such a low ebb that I felt that by saying "Yes" all the time I was going to be liked all the time. I felt that for some reason I was unworthy of being liked for myself and my own views.

Then, through the course of time, and certain life lessons, I took back that control that I had lost, and regained my self worth and esteem.

And realised, that for one, it dont matter a jot if some dislike me. I dont need them in my life. Secondly, I realised that by sticking up for myself, and sometimes saying "No", even if it caused short term ructions, in the LONG TERM I was respected more, and actually gained more friends.

I think, certainly from my own perspective, being a "Yes Person" stems from a lack of one's own self worth.

Just my two-penneth..


Meant to say "thought"..doh

Sat Oct 10, 2009 12:43 PM CST : People Pleasers, Say "NO"!
HealthyLiving: Up until recently, "No" was dirty word to me. As a people-pleaser, my vocabulary is rich with affirmatives: "yeah," "sure," "okay," "absolutely," "no problem." But my mouth just csn't seem to form the consonant-vowel combination required to say "No," even when "Yes" was simply impossible due to time conficts or just not wanting the negative influence of others dramas in my daily life.

I get stuck at "Nnnnnnn... alright." Which means I am doing all kinds of things that I don't want to, have to, or have time to do.

Are you like me? Surrounded by a modest sampling of users, takers, and even well intentioned askers who could zap all your energy if you let them?

Let us share simple techniques to get our minds and mouth to work in tandem to say: NO!

What ways have you found to set boundaries, which really work?
You may give examples.

Thanks! I really need help with this! HL
