Wow some ladies here have thin skin. I have something about sarcasm in my profile and she automatically thinks I'm a bad person. I responded that people who have a problem with sarcasm have a low self esteem and then she blocked me from responding after her outburst of anger at me. Typical, start some crap and then when you get into it call the police. What's up wit dat?

Ha Craigs list will be no help and after talking with United, they refuse a refund because it was not within 24 hours yet less than 48, the ticket was for travel on 5/3/08. They wanted to charge me a $100 fee to cancel, then issue a voucher in the ladies name and then she would have to transfer it to me, right like that is going to happen. then they said they would give me 7 one hundred dollare vouchers for on line travel but I could only use one at a time. This was customer relations.

I hung up on him and told him I would challenge the whole charge with American Express and provide all the emails as this transpired, with dates, names and times.
Live and learn.

United is giving me a hard time to get a refund. The lady in question is not on this site at least not in my inbox any more

Thanks for the advice, I had my doubts and yes we talked on the phone briefly. If it's too good to be true, than it isn't. Thanks to all, hope I can get a refund on my e ticket but doubt it, will try though.

I met a gal on here from UK and we decided to meet. i bought her an e ticket as I didn't want to send funds there and now she is saying the government requires 500 pounds for sufficient travel funds to pay them and she gets it back when arriving. I'm not liking this. Is it true?

Been drinking for over 30 years, so I ask you this, I quit every day and then start again, I have not been sick for over ten years, although sometimes I get some bad ice and it makes my stomach twitchy. I play almost scratch golf with a few drinks in my belly. So if you all have a problem drinking, don't do it. I enjoy impeccable health and that's my story and I'm sticking to it. I'm fortunate to live in a gated community where if I drink I can drive my golf cart home. It's not about getting drunk it's about being relaxed drinking at your leisure in moderation. It has health benefits, trust me but I may be the exception. No flu shots no colds, flu and I work among school children and for a large school district. People worry about using a phone that the students use and I have to maintain this stuff. I just do not get sick, is it the alcohol or my healthy lifestyle? you tell me Doc.

I'm 59 and I live a healthy lifestyle with my diet, exercise and of course drinking in moderation. You would not know I had a drink, trust me when I knock in a twenty foot putt for a birdie. Want to tee it up? Bring your wallet. I realize there are those that can not function with alcohol and those are the one's that shouldn't drink.

Oh crap it isn't morning anymore. Had a class this morning and had cinnamon rolls. Whoa, those are some gut bombs. Class was on How to deal with difficult people, LOL, must have been about me. Not really I just hate dealing with ignorance and my job is technical and those I deal with can't figure out the differrence between a toaster or an igloo.

I forgot my password . Okay, what's your freakin mailbox number? Don't know why i came to this thread, saw the word freakin, so here i am, just wanted to use it in a sentence. Carry on

Well as a matter of fact, the dresses come from a famous designer in Italy and the cosmetics are from Switzerland. La Pierre if I remember right. I'd like to think I can trust the prices and have asked her to marry me, but I also told her I can not afford her. What a pity as they say in Ukraine.

The hardest thing is getting her to understand my position and that I like that she can have nice things at my expense, but I do have a limit. COMPROMISE was bandied about three times so far and she is not going there.

Holy crap, $5,000.00 a month. Well I met a beautiful lady that has a fashion designer background, high end dress shop. I visited her in february and after I bought her the necklace and bracelet for a nice piece of change, we got along very well. The next stop was the cosmetic store. About $400.00 worth, hey I liked her. The next day it was another $280.00.

Now it came time for me to go home and all was well. She then needed shoes, $350.00, so I sent her the cash. I had balked and she became angry, RED LIGHT. So I sent the money any way and then planned to visit again. To make a long story short, it was a $550.00 dollar dress, the first night. okay it was nice, then over $1200.00 in cosmetics the next night and after telling her it was not possible to continue this much for cosmetices, she wanted another $500.00 the next night. I walked out of the store, gave her cab money and she ran after me. about a block away she finally caught up with me and the cab driver who was waiting. I talked her down to #350.00.

So here I am wondering weather to believe if cosmetics are really this expensive and necessary. I think she looks fine without makeup, but she is convinced she needs it. Now she thinks I'm a bad guy and greedy. I know what some of you are going to say as I had been warned. It was very hard to say no.


Ladies, your help please: click here to read the entire thread »

Can I ask what you reasonably expect to spend on cosmetics for a month?

Can I ask what you would consider spending on a fashionable evening dress?

My recent trips to Ukraine have me wondering what the F?

Thanks, I'll give my reasons when I feel their is sufficient data.

I just happen to have some experience myself. I went to Moscow to meet a lady I met on line. It was an adventure and I even learned to speak a bit of it. I even bought a keyboard overlay to type in cyrilic. isvenetia ve ponny my o pah ingleski, da

Excuse me do you understand English, yes.

Anyway I had a problem with the dating agency and fortunately I was able to give her my flight information before I was cut off on the agency and went anyway hoping she would be there. What a beautiful site to see her waiting at the exit when I arrived wrapped in this huge fur coat, so gorgeous and in her mid thirties.

We spent a week together, going to churches, it was Russian Christmas, museums, restaurants, and street bazaars. It was a kick communicating with gestures, pictures, dictionaries etc. We survived and if it wasn't for her I most likely would have stayed close to the hotel.

she had a job and a small flat, no car and we walked long distances in the bitter cold to het to the trains which were awesome, fast frequent and inexpensive.

I bought her a watch while there as a gift and offered her money for the trains and she only took the rubles that wetre needed. We had a great visit.

I was convinced if I could get her to come and visit with me there was a possibility for us to be a couple. Well I tried to get her a guest visa which is very difficult and they are very hard to get. I advised her of the paperwork involved, the form to fill out and it must have overwhelmed her. I wrote a formal letter of invitation and the State department form makes you prove you can support them for there entire visit, you can guess what that entails. Needless to say she broke off our communication as she thought I was too persistent although she did enjy our time together. Win some lose some.

So for now I still communicate with a few and have changed my profile to say only contact me if you are willing to come visit me at my expense. I also only connect with those that can speak English. My cost to make the trip was 3k and I'm a bit more protective of my money. It would cost one third that to have her fly here.

so I really don't think they are scammers but also know a guy I work with that did in fact send money only to have the lady say she was robbed on her way from the bank. Me, I will pop for a plane ticket, board only so I still have faith in some.


Russian women, fact or fallacy ?: click here to read the entire thread »

The reason she gave me for leaving was that she has grown as a person. when we met she was a recent widow, I had just lost a son and gone through a divorce. The counselor I went to said we were both needy. She didn't have ajob, been through bancruptcy and living with her parents. I guess the situation i offered her was to her benefit. I never argued with her and she never agued with me, i thought she accepted me for who I was and that was so special. I'm a Viet Nam Army Ranger veteran that was diagnosed with PTSD during my marriage. I think that with me sharing the diagnosis with her and the person I am scared her to a degree, don't know just guessing.

We had a great intimate relationship. Just before she moved out I wanted to make love and she let me, she said I was the horniest man she was ever with and I was her fifth husband. So bottom line no job, bankrupt living with parents, she was needy. I supported her every endeavor, job, classes, anything she chose to do. I did not get the right communication when things were not right, as I said we never argued.

I went to counseling for the PTSD and for our marriage, she refused. I did personal growth work reading books like the five love languages, cover to cover several times, Conquering the Rapids of life by Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Keep Your Marriage when your spouse says I don't love you anymore, by Nancy Wasson PHD. So I did my due dilligence to save what I cherished and during writing this I did call the friend who had dinner with her and he said it was platonic, so I feel a bit better.

So my friends I will get some rest and hope for a better tomorrow. Jump in with any more feedback after sharing the details of my life, with Susan. PTSD sucks and I thougt it was from being raised with alcoholic parents in a very large family.


How should I react to this: click here to read the entire thread »

Hey all thanks for the advice. No I have not met someone and yes I have been dating, just nothing serious, it seems women my age are content just dating and socializing. I'm sure if I found someone else it would stop the bleeding so to speak and yes we are all good friends and he is a really nice guy, dammit. AS one poster said maybe it's a friend thing and I'm not the jealous type. I have asked if we could start dating and she said you're kidding right.

We do talk and see each other to finalize the divorce issues. Her parents still live close by and they are my friends as well and I took them to brunch for Mothers day, golfed with Dad on Fathers day and take them veggies from my garden. Her Dad has told me to tell her to go to hell and Mom very similar.

I still owe her 28k and haven't paid her yet but have the funds. I am trying to ignore her for the time being but will have to pay her sooner or later. I offered to pay her several weeks ago and she said yes I'll meet you and you can buy me a glass of wine. Wrong freakin answer. I told her several weeks ago her greed would bite her in the ass one day, probably not a good thing to do but she said she would never take me to the cleaners when we met but that is so untrue.

I posted this to get advice as to not ruffle any feathers and you have all been great. It's so freakin hard to let go of someone you truly loved.

Well I think she changed and have hopes that this is only a temporary thing. Kind of the change in life as a woman reaches her early 50's.

My wife left me 18 months ago. When we met I had a room mate. He was asked to leave shortly after my spouse moved in with me. He was and still is a mutual friend. I saw him last Saturday and chatted and I asked him if he had seen Susan. He said yes we have had dinner several times. Now I know we are divorced and can do nothing about it. Fact is I still love her and am having serius issues with this as I hoped we could one day reconcile.

I know it would be wrong to confront either of them but it really rubs my craw. How do I deal with this?

Cake, hell no they're getting some outstanding ribs where the meat just falls off the bone. One thing I do well is cook.

I'm having a group of singles over for a party and I still have a wedding picture up in my family room. Is this in bad taste?

Good story. a few years ago a guy I worked with couldn't get his ignition to turn over so we helped him. He had the wrong set of keys. I'm not laughing just that we do some absent minded stuff once in awhile.

Yes I do believe in it, and if you say for richer or poorer till death do us part, you should mean it.

I thought I had unconditional love, but it was like she died, but still is alive, just no way nor no how would she work to save our marriage. I was willing to do anything to keep that relationship alive, and their is no greater hurt than to know you want something so bad only to have to let go and move on
