united we stand---divided we fall
Should be sleeping to get ready for my nightshift @ 7 tonight.But did a bit of " catch up " on the blogs. Me oh My , what a read.
First and foremost, I don't bear grudges of present or past remarks made towards me. If it makes anyone happy that they, can live with themselves and believe that hurting other's is o.k., then so be it. I am not the judge or adjudicator to condemn such persons, to death or even worse, threaten someone with a curse upon their family. Yes I have said my say in the past and moved on. And yes I did change my name from candykisses to Fieryred. And the reason therefore, was not to hide under a cabbage leaf, but to get rid of toxic energy that seemed to gnaw at me the minute the name " candykisses " posted a blog. At first I thought, maybe it's the country I come from , maybe, maybe and my maybe's started to convince me that the blog's were run by those being on the blog's for a long time, now this newbie comes in, let's " play ball ". Yes, as any humanbeing with feeling would retaliate, I gave as much back as I was given. Well so I thought. " If you can't beat them, join them". Much to my surprise and knowing deep down , I was not this person I have turned into. Now we are going back to a regurgitated incidence that occurred two years ago. I had put all that behind me, Yet, other's. Chirped in, sayings, the Fat on , the one that has put a picture of. Herself , of thirty years ago. Not true, neither fat, nor 30 year old picture. That truly hurt, as i've never considered myself as an oil painting, and that is me as I look like to this very day. Why I ask myself is it , that we as humans must compete against each other, no matter what racial background, creed or gender. It's so debilitating, and nonsensical. At the end of the day, we are all here to find new friends, share in each other's happy and sadness, and hopefully become the best of friends. But sadly it's not to be. As long as we blow our own horn and remains the focus of everyone's attention, I for one am not in that league. My reason here was to make friends not enemies. Peace be to all, and just hope that there Will be a resolution and understanding amongst All on C.S.

Love the core of your post Feiry. Like you, I don't hold grudge. I say my piece, don't think about it anymore nor do I carry on being contemptible with what was said or to the person that I had argued with. But I do need to do better, from now on, those that hate me (I know many of them) and want me banned and vanished, I will wish them well as usual. I am a believer that if it is meant to be, so be it. I will never blame anyone for anything wrong that happens in my life.
Yes, I have enough reasons to feel blessed and be happy. So life goes on.
Thanks for your response. Yes I can speak AFrikaans very well, but when it comes to someone saying, I'll meet you at half past a certain time, that's when i've got to double check, Writing Afrikaans not bad, but once again get confused with the V and W
Thanks for responding in a positive way. Remain who you are and what you stand for. Always been very civil and. Honest to me.
Once again chin up., I'm going to try get shut eye or poke the patient in the wrong: target
Thanks for this post.
Art would like to know if that bulldog on your profile belongs to you?
You see, he had a few of them before. The most recent one, he had her ever since she was just 6 weeks old.
She crossed the Rainbow Bridge September last year and Art misses her still.....
Many people change their names...and profiles..on dating sites and I'm sure they all have their reasons.
However...the person inside still remains and it shouldn't make any difference.IMHO
Those screen names are not who we are!
May peace always be with you.
If I could honestly explain the reason WHY there's all this animosity going on , i'd be very rich. Maybe ???? It's a competition?? Or a feeling of. " This is my turf " So don't outdo me with your topic of discussion and the responses thereof. I don't sugarcoat my topic, I was only here to make friends and join in with the topic being discussed.
Yes but I must seriously listen carefully, reason being I thought the word " Verkrag " meant , " assault " and when. Trying to explain to someone, when asked what happened to an incidence that took place and low and behold I used the wrong word. MY BAD but it was sorted out much to my embarrassmen
When I wrote about change of name, it was not meant to come across, that changing ones profile name, would change me as the
Person I truly am. If you come to think about it ALL my personal details remained the same, like you yourself, changed yours. I just find it very strange that , if I am correct, does my explanation mean I was trying to " Hide " the real me. I don't think so .I have Nothing to hide or be ashamed of. Thanks for the input, and maybe all in sundry will understand where I was coming from by the name change.
I'm with Biff, I may hate the actions but not the person. I have no room in my heart for hate because it simply tastes awful and makes me do bad things.
I enjoy the feelings of gratitude when I ponder. I have really developed (worked on it for years) a "so what, who cares" attitude.
Welcome back and look forward to more blogs. Great responses as well.
