I am practicing so that my girl friend does not face any problems in near future

Sit at home, let loneliness and depression creep in ever so slowly, or get out and be a part of the environment...even if that environment is deemed as not so good?

...like a bar
...like a casino
...like a dance establishment
...like a party


I feel if you don't let those places become you....they can fill in any available gaps one has in their life in the meanwhile.

Of course, given if you are a single person.

Otherwise do what? Go to a movie by yourself? Go to a restaurant by yourself? Go to a cooking class that does not exist in your area by yourself? Go hiking by yourself? Go traveling by yourself?

Don't get me wrong, I do spend time doing things with my family, but sometimes those things don't bring you in the most social situations.

Any ideas?

Non-smokers who are bothered by smoke – you know how far away you need to be from someone smoking before it doesn’t bother you. Stay that far from others. And we all know how long the smell of smoke hangs in an enclosed space.

Non-garlic-eaters who are bothered by the smell of it on someone’s breath (or their garlicky lasting body-odour) ditto.

Shouting REALLY loads the air with particles. Stay away from protesters. Except from polite ones. First comment refers.

The Privilege Of Friendship

I've been on CS for around a year now. The reason I'm here is that I want to meet English speaking people.
Living in Spain and in the area I do, there aren't many around. I know that in Spain there are quite a few and its been easy to talk to them on here. I also have been chatting with people in other countries. If I did fall in love, I wouldn't mind relocating to another country.

How many of you would relocate for love?
You really think its possible to find and fall in love on CS?

A Strong Reason To Quit Smoking

I'm not sure what I would have said even if there hadn't been a language barrier, tbh. Picture it -

This morning my dog was doing her squat in the street (me standing by holding bag and waiting to swoop) and a kid of about 3 toddled up and tried to kick her in the face. Whaaaaaaaaat? The dog is better-behaved than she was but the kid would have lost his foot if he’d connected. She doesn’t like kids at the best of times. I gently straight-armed him since the dog couldn’t move at that precise moment, and glared. The kid beamed up at me.

Elderly escorting grandfather said something gruff (I don’t think in Spanish) and then shouted words at me when my swoop left a smear on the road. Since I was holding both the dog’s lead and a small and revoltingly warm packet I mimicked the kid’s kick in adult and very mature response and stalked off feeling ruffled.

Hell, most people don’t even bother to pick up their dog turds, they leave them to become part of the road or swept up by the frequent street cleaners. Maybe he’s a retired street cleaner.

If it had been Scotland, and a wee Scottish bairn, and a Scottish-speaking grandpa, I would have said that kicking any dog in the face is probably asking for trouble. But then anyone stupid enough to need that said probably deserves to learn the hard way.

But learn what? Should I have mashed the pickup into the kid’s face? Has he gotta learn that even when dogs don’t bite, owners do? Or do I just hope the next dog he tries that on is one of the few pit bull terriers that is NOT good with kids?

Morning all. You can bring it on, I feel scrappy.

During a recent conversation I was called a hoarder, I dont agree.

A small example of what I have:-

2 fridge freezers, a beer fridge and a chest freezer ( 2 kitchens)
3 Ovens
4 coffee machines (I did have 6)
50 plus coffee mugs and glasses ( I collected them)
4 dinner services,( I have these as I tend to put plates in my drawers and stack them on my printer and run out of plates after a week or so.)
5 Drills, about 6 sanders and more screwdrivers than the population of Wales.
Boxes of payslips and utilities bills from 20 years ago (as personal history)

I have stuff, so wonder am I a hoarder or just living in luxury?

Believe In Miracles

Imagine sitting in the felt, calm and relaxed, so that ur vibes r good, and very soon the animals starts rocking up.

The bold ones will come right up to u, while the shy ones will duck and dive under the foliage, just in case u r not as nice as u appear to be.

The Butterflies will investigate the finger u hold up, and park themselves on it, till ur poor arm can't stay up anymore.

The Rock Rabbits will squeeze out of their hidey hole in the rocks. I had one as a pet when very young.

The small birds will swoop over u, checking out this strange human in between nature, totally harmless to all animals.

Yes, that's me and my 2 boys.

Do u want to be like us ?
