Howcome Connecting Singles does not have IM?
Other sites have Instant Massage chat. I really enjoy chatting with friends.
Why does it always show me as being online?
Does anyone know whether everyone listed as being online are really online? Even when I'm logged off and I search for my username without logging on it shows me as being online.
Life as it is
Life isn't easy, thats what they say,
We all pushed through the system, trying to get paid.
An array of confusion is this complex network we call our world,
We think we know where we're going, but our thoughts are subliminally swirled.
All I can do is sit back and take life as it is,
Take it one day at a time, don't play the role of the whiz.
We all have to take time and enjoy the beauty of life,
Although life can be ugly, we need to not be so trife,
And take life as it is.
(Just a feeble attempt at poetry, still working on it)

Dating services
Have any of you ever got those flyers in your mailbox saying they can find your perfect match, just fill out this form, and you will be contacted? Well, I did once, so I filled out the form, then got a call, and they told me how their dating service worked, and that it would only cost me $200 a month to join. All I had to do was set up an interview with them.
So I started calculating. For women, yes, it would only cost $200 a month. But for men, the figures are quite different. How so? Well, I will tell you.
First we have our monthly cost of $200. Now given the fact that women don't pay for anything on dates, the average date usually costs men about $100. Now say the service lets you meet just 2 women per week. So that's at least $200 a week, which comes to $800 plus your original fee of $200.....which brings you to a grand total of $1000 per month!!!!!! And that's just for a basic date. I would be broke before I got laid.
So I passed on that idea, and am back to the internet.
Been an interesting week......thanks for all the info. I even learned something on these blogs. I learned how to spell etiquete.
Have a good weekend.....be back some time next week.

Me And Murphy’s Law
Old Man Murphy and his freakin’ Laws. Gotta love ‘em, aye?
So, I’m in Oklahoma where I have just picked up the car my grandfather gave me. It’s a great ride for a 94 Probe. Sunroof, automatic everything, electric seats, gray leather interior, cruise control, perfect alignment, and wheels/tires on it that are worth as much as the car. Best of all…. it was a freebie!
Then, coming home from the store with my mom, she makes the comment “yeah, well it’s ok, but you haven’t hit the interstate yet”. To which I reply with a tentative laugh ,”mom, shut the hell up and don’t jinx me”. Mom says with utter sincerity, “old man Murphy doesn’t care if you say it aloud or not”.
Either way, we met Mr. Murphy about 10 minutes later, when he bashed my freakin’ car with his freakin’ law.
Yes, at 60 mph, Mr Murphy decides I don’t really need my car hood, or headlamps.
I’m just drivin’, chattin’, and laughin’ with mom when WHAM !!! We hear a clattering sound, the hood flies up, disengages, goes soaring over the top of the car (missing the windshield and back glass, thank God) and SMACKS into my trunk before sailing like a frisbee into the adjacent lane in front of oncoming traffic.
Yes, it’s just another day in my life.
I whip the car around and go after the hood. I pull up in front of it, stare it down like something that should be slaughtered, and get out of the car.
My mother… she’s speechless…bless her heart…
I walk up to the perfectly unmarked hood, stare it down for a moment longer, pick it up , and walk back to check out the car-nage. (Get it!? Carnage!? LMAO!) ((Shut up. It was funny to me.))
I can’t help myself, standing there, holding the hood, looking at the opening where my v-6 is proudly(?) displaying itself. I start smiling. Then the giggles kick in. It is only when my mom gets out of the car and hold the door open saying “honey, quick, stick it in the back seat!”, that I totally lose my composure, and erupt into eye-watering, side-splitting laughter. A few cars slowly maneuvered around us, but I’m fairly certain they were afraid to stop, fearing that I must have lost my mind somewhere. I can’t stop laughing! It was just the funniest thing in the world to me. My mom is starting to look at me in a most concerned fashion, and takes a step back from me, which makes me literally double over and HOWLLLLLLLLLL with laughter.
This one truck finally stops and two guys ask if they can help… my mom is looking from them to me, like “OMG HELP HER”…… and all I can do is laugh and laugh and laugh!!!! My mom asks them to put the hood in their truck and plz follow us home. I guess it was adrenalin cause that hood felt like a feather to me, but it kinda seemed to be given that one guy a hard time.
We did finally make it home and figured out the hood had never actually been fastened to the car. It was simply “resting” there, and had been held in place by the thick sheet of ice that had weighed it down and had also been attached to the wiper blades. No latch, no hinges, no nothing. Just a hood with some ice that decided to melt.
I love my life…..every day is an adventure….

Quiet Site
This seems like a very quoet site this evening. I've checked out a few proffiles, sent a flower and that's aboout it. Perhaps it is livelier on the weekend. 
Tired of Being Alone, Ready for some FUN
I'm past ready, have always been able and willing to meet and greet for possible friendship, love relations or long term commitment. I'm not a rush into anything type of girl but if the chemistry is there and the sparks are flying, " KATIE BAR THE DOOR" someone will be walking funny later. LOL. If after you view my profile and find that I have caught your eye and you are interested in finding out more, drop me a line or post up the news. All those available for friendship need apply. We could all use more friends.
Talk to you soon.
you decide??????
Talk to you soon.
you decide??????The Positive Revolution
I've been reading this book called Handbook for The Positive Revolution by Edward De Bono, that I randomly picked up in a charity shop the other week.
The ideas presented in it are simple and using the symbol of the hand as a symbol of the "positive revolution" the handbook provides a framework for making life better without the violence and negativity of a traditional revolution.
The hand symbol is actually kind of cool, so I thought I'd share a bit more about that with you here. The thumb represents effectiveness, index finger to point the constructive way forward, middle finger for human values(respect), ring finger for self-improvement and little finger for contribution.
Effectiveness is the thumb because it is very difficult to do anything without your thumb. Effectiveness is a vital part of the positive revolution because effectiveness is what gets things done. I particularly like this one, because I feel that when people(including myself) are very involved with spirituality, it can be easy to distance yourself from the material-3D- world and not actually get anything done.
"The greatest dreams in the world stay as dreams if there is no effectiveness".
Constructiveness is the index finger- moving forward and doing something instead of tuimewasting. When you do something..ask yourself what is left at the end. Is your task worthy of your time? Watching TV is an example of a timewasting task, as it doesn't do anything positive(although I think that perhaps if you were watching something educational maybe that would count as constructive).
Respect, or human values, is the longest-middle finger, to remind us that this is the most important aspect. We should always aim to treat others as we would like to be treated ourselves and in treating others well, it creates a civilsed society.
Self improvement, the ring finger, is about your own attitude and the ability to grow and change in a positive manner every day. We can cultivate positive attitudes and habits, reduce the negative behaviours and educate ourselves.
The little finger represents contribution to remind us that however small our contribution it is still relevant and important. Contribution comes in three main levels- personal- making your life better, educating yourself- local community and family- sharing knowledge, helping each other and country/world- things like voting.
And by the way- the suggested greeting used in the book is "Today is a better day", which I thought was kinda cool.
I'd love to hear peoples feedback if they have read the book, or how they feel about the ideas presented.
peace-

Spring is here
O.k. ladies....spring is here, so soon you will be showing off those pretty feet of yours in a variety of sexy shoes. A few rules to follow in case you don't know them already.
Pedicures should be done once a month
Make sure the shoes fit properly. Your toes should not go over the end and touch the ground.
Nail polish should be on every toe...not just the big toe.
Only 1 ankle bracelet should be worn. And it should be worn on the right ankle.
Only 1 toe ring should be worn, and it should be on the second toe of the left foot.
Any more than 1 toe ring or ankle bracelet looks tacky.
Practice your shoe dangling. After all, it is an art if done well.
Nylons are a plus any time......but very rarely seen.
Get rid of the flip flops.....they make you look cheap.
And if any of you STILL insist on wearing runners and sweat socks over the summer. Here is one guy that won't be looking your way.
