I took you in when you were starving, gave you a home and put food on the table. When you were sick and injured I comforted you and paid your medical bills, I even got you a passport.
We had some good years together with lots of caresses and cuddles and even though at times you took up most of the room on the bed I didnt mind.
When you started spending the odd night away, I understood, when you disappeared for days at a time I was never concerned until the day about a year ago when you didnt return home, I was fraught with worry.
Then last night when I saw you on the corner of the street, I stopped the car and called your name, but you walked away from me. As you stood before the door waiting to be let in we chatted and I caressed you. I was pleased to see you looked healthy and well fed. Drop by the house sometime I said, we all miss you my dear cat Paco.
Dont know what it is about relationships, but for some reason, the world seems to turn around what men can do for women. You know... things like, walk on the street side of the pavement, open doors, take a more than fair share in the running of the house, and of course we are expected to be builders, joiners and plumbers in the process.
That aside, the real crunch is never forgetting the primary rule of offering praising words at just the right moment. For example... Her ladyship has been to the hairdressers “Why dear, your hair looks lovely, beautifully shaped, wonderful color, gorgeous shine”! Then there is the going out, she’s all dressed up (with lots of "slap") “Hmmm you look (pause for effect) hmmm STUNNING! In that outfit, radiant in fact”
So long as us guys seem to notice the subtleties in changes of clothes and styles, keep up the adoring praises, being touchy and holding hands when needed, the relationship moves along gracefully (did I mention the regular dosage of “I love you’s and such like?”)
I’m thinking.... Hey! What about the things I need... I thought relationships were supposed to be a two way street, seems to me a lot of traffic is going her way and not a lot on my side of the road.
Can any of you guys relate to this?
I think I read somewhere that statistically there are twice or more women in the world than men. If thats the case how is it that the number of men looking for a relationship outnumbers the women by 60 to 1?
Bought one a good number of years ago and had a fantastic time touring Portugal. Sadly it now sits abandoned in the drive waiting for some TLC.
With my retirement years quickly approaching, the idea of an American all singing all dancing motorhome is very apealing.
Already own a plot of land to plonk it on in between touring the sights of Europe.
I am quite sure a lot of us have heard this phrase before, however, after reading one of the current blogs I am inspired to suggest it is true to say that the phrase should read... “I’m mad, now I’m going to get even”.
From my experience, what follows is usually a defamation of character so scathing it is a wonder the person actually liked who they are talking about in the first place. Not only are the words (some that would make a sailor blush) designed to be as heartfeltly painful as possible to the recipient, but are repeated over and again until the perpetrator feels vindicated.
In a recent situation of my own there has been a woman writing to a woman that has known me for a long time (apparently), who in turn is writing to a woman I know, who I know, has been in contact with a woman I once knew and who was also in contact with another woman I knew..... Complicated?.... Yup!
Fortunately most men are to shallow for this style of intrigue.
CS couple late 50’s wanting to spend a few days doing the tourist bit for the first time in Ireland. Probably around the end of May or the beginning of June.
Looking for a city/place with some interesting/cultural venues, good variety of places to eat and a decent amount of shops to browse.
Although not hiring a car, happy to use the train to go further afield to explore places.
Any suggestions?
As the years go by we all hope we will age gracefully retaining the best of health for as long as possible.
For myself I didn’t notice any significant aging signs (except hair loss) until my early fifties when my body seemed to go through a two year or more major change during which time I suffered heart palpitations, bleeding gums, frayed ligaments and a multitude of other ails, but came through feeling healthier, fitter, taller (2mm believe it or not) and arguably more intelligent, which has been pretty cool!
Since then things haven’t been too bad, I have succumbed to the usual loss of hair color and I now require glasses to read, but apart from that not much else......... Until now.
Over the last few of months I have noticed a couple of subtle changes and am wondering whether my body is undergoing an internal upgrade, kind of like a scheduled maintenance, replacing a few worn out parts, making some repairs etc.
Anyone experienced anything like this?
When chatting with people I often get carried away pontificating on an idea that in reality I know may never come to fruition. It is kind of like day dreaming aloud and drives my GF nuts!
I suppose we all have self indulgences of one kind or another .... whats yours?
Whenever I buy online I always check the reviews on the products I am interested in purchasing. Likewise, when going on holiday I check the reviews of hotels, restaurants and such, then afterwards always post a review of my own.
It occurred to me... Although this could be somewhat complicated, I wonder whether a profile review system would work for dating sites.... What do you think?
Everything seems lackluster after Easter, spring has arrived yet it is still cold. Everyone is recovering or still has the flu, business is slow, time drags and nothing looks interesting.
Roll on May... Summer holidays, sunny days, warm light evenings to get out and about and brighten the mood. 6 weeks of bliss to do as I please, long lie in’s, brunch’s on the patio, weekend BBQ’S, cream tea’s in the afternoon, evening strolls and a glass of wine to watch the sun go down..... Heavenly!
Love is something we say we are all looking for, but in reality the word love is simply an anagram that we use to express how we want to be made to feel or feel for someone else.
These are many such anagrams in the English Language that we have come to regard as words in their own right... A few examples....
Golf.... Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden
Posh... Portside Out, Starboard Home
f*ck... Fornication Under Consent of the King
Love... Lots Of Various Emotions
Perhaps for you the definition of Love could be.... Caring more for someone else than you care for yourself, along these lines, for those of you that want to know what love feels like, rule of thumb dictates you look at the feelings and emotions you hold towards your children.
This is a blog to all the faceless profiles.
There seems to be an inconsistency in the reasoning as to why people join a DATING site then dont present the feature that is most likely to attract a date!
Yeah!, Yeah! .... Heard all the excuses.... “I feel vulnerable”, “I only attract scammers or people old enough to be my parent or young enough to be one of my children” etc, etc, etc...
What are you afraid of? Plenty of people seem to get along just fine with pictures posted ...so come out into the light, lets us all get a look at you, you never know, you may even get a date!
