And it's said that life is like a lantern Just a dream, we're reaching for the stars. Can't you see how little we really matter? We are only searching for what we really are...

This site has a peculiar magic to it that will always reside in my heart. I left this site once and was drawn back to 'hear' the voices of many friends I had made here. Foolishly my belief in the inherent goodness and honesty were victimized here by a few sordid humans, but it was not their droning voices which drew me back but the wisdom and wit of those nearest to my heart. I could never thank each person to whom I have felt this connection enough. I work some pretty strange hours, do not go to bars or really drink so there is little place for output or commune in a small mining city. Besides I met the woman of my dreams here and just that alone will leave CS is a wonderful portion of my brain and heart. I owe this place more than a hundred lifetimes of effort could ever repay for that. I just hope that my own footprints here are unobtrusive or at the least pleasant enough to not cause dimay or distress. Thank you to all those who have livened up a quiet life, for putting up with me, welcoming me and just for being who you are. And of course the mods who for some odd reason have yet to put me in time out even though I do have a predisposition for rambling at times (ok all the time).

I heard the Abrams Tanks at the Robertson Barracks starting up. I turned on the TV to see what was happening. The Kiwis had just beaten the Aussies 32-20 and won the Rugby League World Cup.
Kevin Rudd has approved the making of NZ the seventh state of Australia.

Matey - what does this have to do with anything? (The bottom line)
Bring your teams here so we can teach them how to play real Rugby (only give us a bit of time to sort out the politics in the game first!)
mylifewithu: They are just as fake in bars and clubs too, I have met my share and they can fake it like anyone online. I have dated men as long as 5 months before their true self shows up. So online I can take my time and watch and Learn, and it I truely pay attention, I can know them better than they know themselves.
so vary true but darlin it goe's the other way also

blueriver30: hi Joanne, did you try to contact the woman? I don't understand why someone would like about themselves or their profile if they were truly hoping to meet someone.
I just reported her and she got removed from the site...
there are many out there that lie on their profiles
i'm the shy quiet sort so online is the best for me nice and slow plus i live just to the west of middle of nowhere . there are bars like 50 miles away but i'm just not into going to the bar .
I gotta tell you all that I'm not here to "make friends"! I am here to meet someone I can share my life with. It seems that "making friends" is what tends to happen almost all of the time. The problem I see with online dating is that there are just "TOO many fish in the sea". The majority of people on these sites like seeing how many people they can "hook" at one time. No one takes the time to really get to know someone before they hit that "delete" button and move on to the next email. There is really no old fashioned courting, getting to know someone, having fun anymore. I long for the old days of being introduced to someone, meeting someone in a social setting and that "eyes across a crowded room" thing that was so common back then. The best relationships I have seen are the ones that were set up, or introduced. These have a common thread (the people that introduced them) to build a relationship on. Meeting "blind" just doesn't seem to sit right for me, but being on these sites and hoping for the best is better than nothing at all.
