send her a lot of smiles today ...

You hate it?.. I love it.. I think it can be great fun.

YOU ARE CORRECT THIS GUY IS A MORON.BUILD A BRICK WALL

I do too, Indy. I don't think the feminist movement did only good things. (Now I'll get it.)

When I was married and didn't have children, my husband and I agreed for a time that I would stay home. I considered it my job to make his easier, keep the house, and allow him to come home to a cold beer, and sometimes - a woman in a negligie. I know what you're thinking - no big deal. She wasn't that expensive.

Then later, I was a single working mom. When my health took a dive and I had to stay home, I was given the greatest of gifts. For the first time, I got to be a stay at home mom. Believe me, it's worth the health problems. Now I homeschool my daughter.

I get to watch this beautiful young person grow and develop. We laugh together all the time - shes getting her humor from me, God help her. She's 12 and we're so close. Most kids this age think their friends are always right. She doesn't. She'll argue my point with them. Emily thinks I'm smart and pretty and funny. I just don't see us growing apart like so many kids and parents do. Maybe some, but I was always close to my mom, and Em and I have the same kind of relationship.

My daughter will ask me anything, tell me everything that's going on. Part of the reason she can do that is because I'm always here with her. I'm blessed.

True love....I really don't know the answer to this question...I thought I found true love, but......

I forgot who said this, but when the topic of pornography vs. art came up some years ago, the quote "I'll know it when I see it" was applied.

I think that is my new credo...I don't know what laundry list of qualities I am looking for. I don't know what type of person I will fall for....I don't know what sacrifices i will make or limits I will accept.

I will know it when I see it.

Well to be honest I don't know what true love is; I use to think I knew what love was, but as the years have past and the relationships have came and gone and I look back on my experiences, I know in my heart of hearts there is no way that is what they would call Love.

I just wanted to be loved so bad back than that I accepted who ever came all and gave it my all and took whatever he dished out I never got anything in return but heartache.

So now it is hard for me to extend myself to a guy I am very choosy and I really have to get to know a guy first, which is not easy for me anymore. I know all guys are not like the guys I have been with but until I am completely sure about a guy. I can not just give my heart away anymore and by the time I am feeling secure most guys are no longer talking to me. I am sorry I can not just tell someone I love them after the first few dates or im's

But my idea of Love and what it should be might be stupid to others and that's ok to.
I see myself one day with a guy that I can wake up to in the morning and than say goodnight to at bed time. A guy that once in awhile will show me he loves me (even if it is just a pat on the butt) it dont have to be something major just little jesters. The little things count just as much to me than anything big. It don't take alot to make me happy ya I no everyone has there good and the bad; I just want more of the good in a relationship and if I can not have that than I would rather be alone anymore.

I could write on this subject of Love all day long because, I have thought about it so much and what it meant to me once and what it means to me now. I am getting to old for the games people play with peoples hearts, I don't like it and I won't put up with it.

I've always wondered about this...I've personally never chosen to meet aynone from this site...too far but I think the longer you speak with someone through here...you develop an "image" of sorts about them...whether they are real or not...this image can be disappointing in real life...it is easier to converse in your own comfort zone...behind a screen...so in real life...the interactive chemistry will obviosly change a bit... I would think that most people would portray themselves as true as possible...but...I just don't feel you TRULY know their personalities until you've had a face to face encounter...and if truly interested...this is best done as soon as you are both comfortable JMO

Thanks...

In the end it's the little things that become the big things I do believe. That unexpected love tap on the backside...a peck on the cheek while you're sleeping, a suprise call at work just to say you're missed... Those are the things I really remember. Not gifts.

JMO~

Hiya Solitarius.. did u enjoy the bowling?

Phew! thankyou.. I thought I had written a *Maniac Post*

Hellooo my beautiful buddy

Good questions.

When I DO fall in love with someone, it's not often.. (in fact it's quite rare for me) It takes me a lonnngg time to actually fall in love.

I'm not the kind of person to let those feelings take me over very often. But when I DO tend to fall .. I fall hook line and sinker. (really)

They do become my *everything*.. as I've said somewhere else on here.. I become totally blinded by them.. blinked.. tunnel vision. (yeah I know..it scares ME too! haha)

Where I can't even SEE anyone else but them.

And yeah I would make just about ANY sacrifice for them.. (my children being the only *BUT*) as long as it wasn't something totally illegal or just ridiculous.

But sometimes I think I fall harder than I SHOULD.. Sometimes I think I'm a bit TOO intense for some people.. (They weren't kidding when they said about a Taurean being *Powerhouse of Passion*) haha.. and yes then I Do regret it because I look like a maniac if it's not reciprocated quite so intensely

and yep.. sometimes I regret making stupid sacrifices then realising part way in, I've let my heart lead me.. and made a MASSIVE mistake. I'm waaayy too impulsive for my own good!

But I live and learn. I try nowadays to listen more with my HEAD and my gut instinct..(which are almost ALWAYS right) I no longer ignore them. Actually I was telling someone the other day.. how nowadays I treat my feelings in the same way I do in my job.. where I give my clients (seemingly) my 'all'.. but reeeeally I keep the IMPORTANT stuff back.

Saves me getting hurt.. (when they die) and making mistakes thinking with my heart instead.

I'm a big I'm a softy arsed romantic chomping at the bit really.

What she desires but has not recently remembered. Or a pile of desires if the gift does not match in total what she is deserving of.

Something fresh and special to her and who she is. Never traditional unless there is true need. These thraditional gifts are for the every day.

Funny how big a difference there can be between stupid and un-intelligent. And un-informed vs. mis-informed. Some of those who feign intelligence the best are the most witty (yet least intelligent). And some of those who are super intelligent come off sounding like idiots when presented with something slightly outside their particular field of expertise. Strange how some mathematicians can't spell the names of the numbers they work with while some wordsmiths can't cipher the numbers they spell.

Define smart.

I was a highly decorated radio technician in the Army (in the early 80's) and still have yet to install a sound system in a personal vehicle without screwing up the dash lights. I am a long-haul truck driver with 2,000,000 accident free miles behind me and I can't count the times I've gotten out of the truck and smacked my head on the outside mirror. I'm a published author and can recite, verbatim, nearly everything I've ever written but can't seem to remember which pieces have been published. I'm an outdoorsman who can start a fire with flint and steel or bowdrill, but can't get anything happening in my hibachi with kerosene and hand grenades.

I'd like to think I'm pretty smart - After all, I've used my wits to get myself out of some really sticky situations on many occasions -- But if I were really that smart, would I have gotten into those situations in the first place?

Am I smart? Beats the hell outta' me!

you should post a photo of yourself in a kilt.

and BTW what does a man wear under that kilt?
