How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,—I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death....




And when love speaks, the voice of all the gods makes heaven drowsy with the harmony.”
Love’s Labour’s Lost.

Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.”
Hamlet.

Feeling lost, crazy and desperate belongs to a good life as much as optimism, certainty and reason.

The pleasure we derive from journeys is perhaps dependent more on the mindset with which we travel than on the destination we travel to.?

We are all more intelligent than we are capable, and awareness of the insanity of love has never saved anyone from the disease.


The moment we cry in a film is not when things are sad but when they turn out to be more beautiful than we expected them to be.

gone nuts... yes
gone bonkers ... yez
gone berserk... yes
gone bananas... yes

freaked out....


I am so very lucky to have, in the beginning, crossed paths with you. It took us to this lovely stage in our lives. A point where I feel that with you I can’t wait to create, evolve with you, and face the future with you. In a boy friend..... you are everything I ever will desire. I’m never going to like anything or anyone else. I can guarantee that.



Words may not articulate how much I love you, but my acts will never fail to reflect my love for you. Yesterday, I loved you, love you today, and I will love you until tomorrow is gone!

you

lit a fire inside me. With each passing day, it is a passion that grows. Just when I think that I’m getting used to my love for you, you’re going to do something small and wonderful. Maybe you’re going to make me laugh, or say something so clever it’s going to make me see the world in a different light, and instantly there it’s again, the surge of feeling, of passion, it’s like a wildfire in my soul that comes over me
so easily..

What is Love? Love is a set of emotions, behaviors, and beliefs with strong feelings of affection. So, for example, a person might say he or she loves his or her dog, loves freedom, or loves God. The concept of love may become an unimaginable thing and also it may happen to each person in a particular way..

in a simple word...
it is..... just.. Mesmerising


i dont mind be born again
and again... just for this
feelings.


You are my heart, my life, my entire existence.

Must being in love always mean being in pain?

what a pleasureable pain
it is...

The Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie story is far from being over. According to ABC News, parents of Gabby Petito have filed a $50 million wrongful death suit against Utah police.

'The suit alleges that if the Moab police had followed a Utah law on domestic violence, "Gabby would still be alive today," James McConkie, one of the attorneys representing the family, said during the briefing.'

Again, I find reader comments very interesting.

My dear ladies,
I like to warn all my American ladies to beware of the disgusting International scammers who prey on our feelings and intentions to have loving relationships.
I am new to this dating site and was shocked by these men's immoral behavior.
I have been targeted by a group of scammers whose tactics are the following:

1. they post their new profiles in desirable light: Ph.D., Masters's Degree, MD, Surgeon, financially secure, looking for a serious relationship, marriage. The profile photos are always handsome caucasian men and tailored to yours to make you respond.
2. they always widowers with the tragic stories of the deaths of their wives and children or never married
3. as they made a contact, they delete their profiles and insist that you delete yours too because they are serious about you and like to get to know you better ASAP
3. as I request that the connection must be by phone calls or Skype sessions, they always have problems with the phone or internet connections and therefore cannot show their faces and insist on communicating only by text or email
4. they all have weird Afro accents ( meaning not American, most likely from African countries) if you are lucky to hear their voices and stories about how they were born in the US but grew up in different countries. Like one claimed to grow up in England but had a tick Afro accent. I am good at detecting accents as I have one, even can tell the native language of the person.
5. from the get-go they declare that they are serious and assure you that you are in a serious relationship with them, 5 minutes before weeding, almost a family,
pretend to live in the US but have vage or no answers about where they shop, what are their preferred restaurants and so forth. For example, they lose their phones ( almost all bring that excuse) and need an indefinite time to get a new phone or service. Yes, maybe in Nigeria but not in the US. We get our new phone and service in less than an hour which they do not know.
6. then the family tragedy happens: or IRS blocked their multi-million bank account or their only child in an accident, or they lose their valet, get Covid or "the sky is falling"...
7. then they ask you to help them with funds as it is an emergency, wire them a cashier's check or use Crypto transfers as "you are almost a family, they have an everlasting love for you and it is natural for you to help in such situations".
8. I blocked them one after another and in a few days another one appearing
9. I became a detective so to speak, and please pay attention that surgeon does not know anything about medicine, the international crude oil dealer has no idea about the petroleum market, and the engineer cannot clarify simple questions about his operations.
10. please be careful, do not believe them, and blocked them immediately.
Do not open your valets to these scammers.
11. They prey on us as we, Americans, are generous, honest, and kind, always helping when someone is in trouble. We are easy prey...

I hope this was helpful to you and be careful. I greatly appreciate it if you contact me if you had such experiences.
Take care and be safe.

Sincerely,
Majan9

...and they say women are complicated!

On one hand male friends complain that some women are just to vague about how they feel and what they want....think they're playing hard to get, no? Or just being evasive......

But then on the other hand, men get mad or flake out when a woman is blatantly honest about what she wants and how she feels....

Well damn....

So which is it?

Is it just me or do men just not see what is right in front of them, regardless of circumstance.

I'd hardly believe it would be a language barrier....or is it

Would you block someone you met on a dating site for wearing a bathrobe for a video chat?
I exchanged contact details with someone on here and we arrange to do a video chat last night.
I called her and after only a couple of minutes of chatting, she asked me to change my clothes. I don't see what was wrong with me wearing a bathrobe for a video chat. I always have a shower in the early evening after work and was just wearing what I normally would be wearing at the time we started chatting.

She asked me to change my clothes so I did then called her back but she didn't want to answer. I said I had changed my clothes but she said she didn't want to chat with me.

I don't know why she felt so uncomfortable about what I was wearing.
I don't know if she thought I was going to expose myself on our video chat or what or whether maybe her upbringing meant that is was highly inappropriate for someone to do a video chat with her and to always dress appropriately for the occasion.

I tried to explain but she was having none of it and just blocked me from messaging apps and on this dating site.

I just find the whole situation and her ridiculous and crazy.
Why couldn't she have just asked me to change my clothes and then call her back as if nothing had happened?
Or why couldn't she have just ignored what I was wearing?

It says she lives in London but I could tell from her accent, she was possibly Russian, Ukrainian, Moldovan or some other Eastern European country originally.

If anyone has their thoughts on this, I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks.

Two of my friends....there is one man and one woman....who are both single and enjoy their singlehood and sleep around with many different people. They both share the same meme..."don't cheat."

Both of these two have been with over 30 different partners....and the woman I have heard her say that s*x is just a physical act....and the man has told me he has been already with 3 different women in one night.

...and they are advising people not to cheat by sharing that meme.

A current blog took a tangent and not to get lost, I'm making my own blog on the subject.
"Leaving the toilet seat down"
There, I said it. No arguments when growing up. Respect for my mom, my dad, brother and I had the seat down when we exited the bathroom. Pretty simple... I cannot recall any discussions about it.

I did know a guy who said it wasn't an issue. He never raised the seat to pee!
That may have been a factor is why his marriage only lasted a few years.

This should be a fun exercise. It is only intended to make each gender better understand each other.


Okay...to better understand each other, name something(s) that men do bad to women...and now vice versa...name something bad that women do to men.


Maybe we can better understand each other's arguments about each other.

May our love will be long lasting..
