simmo Too true...there is always someone worse off...so we do need to stop and smell the roses...life is too short!!...how's things with you...hope your doing well!!
calli Well...sometimes it happens...that being said...go off and find yourself one that sees you as more...it maybe his loss...so test the waters else where...you may find your friend quite jealous?...just a thought...
simmo It has been awhile since you posted!!...aging to me kinda is hard but I do appreciate the wisdom I have attained due to experience...as for lessons in life...death is a reminder of what a gift life is and not to waste it...not to mention the strength, understanding and compassion you speak about!!...not forgetting the dessert part either...
lind jarred did explain to another blogger why he doesn't allow comments...we all have reasons for what we say or don't say or allow...to each their own...I do appreciate his odd humour!!
john I have hung onto things because they serve me with good memories...I finally threw out my old velour robe...not without a fight!!...I guess the ex had enough of the old raggedy robe that was not too attractive...lol...but ahhh the memories...
lind mistakes are lessons...if you care to recognize this...so i don't try to beat myself up for it but try to learn from it...usually two people are at fault...communication problems as an example...ignoring it usually leads to more mistakes...
john funny how we are outing people before they want to share such information...still cannot believe the whole bruce jenner thing...i no longer eat wheaties...lol...
cat happy bday to you...and there is nothing wrong with talking to yourself...only if you expect a reply back...then you could have issues...like split personalities...lol...enjoy your bday!!
soc i do believe ptsd does exist...but certain conditions/criteria have to exist before you can label...that being said...the brutality of war could make anyone depressed, lose sleep and suffer nightmares...my problem is the lack of support of the vietnam vets...why should they suffer unpopularity due to citizens recognizing or questioning their (government's) involvement in the war...
cat Even here in blog land...we form relationships...so not really understanding of some who post here...their hateful blogs or comments...some to me are just child like while others have a different agenda...well...we can always block and delete...
wen i have to agree with zman...they like to evoke emotion to sell something...but understand that it may conjure up feelings of what family should be...or just to make sure you have to reconnect...anyways it doesn't hurt...
shane yes it is strange that she was found like her mother...that is why they are looking into her death and due to the fact she had injuries as well...but i am sure she had difficulty accepting her mother's untimely death...
gentle What a great story...I sometimes wonder how some cultures don't value animals in the same way we as North Americans do?...truly smart creatures with the capacity to love unconditionally...loyalty is definitely their strong point...cheers!!
post The old world of doing things is making a come back!!...farm to table ideology chefs which means using local ingredients...solar heating and wind energy...bottle returns also coming back in style...organics as well...people are concerned about their carbon footprint and I hope this will continue the momentum!!...as for technology...I love the internet but do dislike our reliance on cell phones as a form of communicating...I hope schools will employ more physical sports regardless of the cost...we are turning the children today into obese and lethargic people that will have a multitude of health problems in their future...city planning is also to blame...most cities you have to drive cars to get to stores...one thing I enjoy about Vancouver...I can walk to the local market and ride my bike due to more bike lanes...the city is evolving to accommodate a greener way of getting around!!
lind Trust takes time but I will indulge in believing people until they show me otherwise...I am generally not suspicious and enjoy people but will not be an open book until I am comfortable...trust your instincts...a good motto to live by...by the way just wanted to share that I am really happy...my wrist cast came off today!!...a great day for me indeed!!
dave...do you really need dating advice?...common sense is the answer...raven just gave you good advice...if you have nothing to hide...provide a photo...simple...
