RE: Health care reform = Democrats "Kiss of death"

As a European I truly do not understand why there is so much opposition.

Equally, I do not expect you to understand my point of view, and
I´m tired of participating in forum threads about this very subject, so I´m not trying to start a debate here.

RE: disabled..

Thinking about it and actually doing it are two entirely different things.

Most of us would like to believe that a disability would not be a relationship bar, but sadly, in reality it most definitely is.

If you can fall asleep happy and content that you would date a disabled woman in your dreams, then good for you. However, it is only in your dreams, until you prove otherwise and actively contact women who have a disability.

Do people really understand "blogging?"

Rubendario, thank you for your comments, and I agree to some extent. However, I do not agree that many of the blogs here are serious, or as blogging is intended to be. I like your taste in music by the way!

Dear diary, women like me should be able to make a blog about their opinions and observations without being ridiculed by men sitting in trees.

RE: How to spot a British tourist..............

It's always very easy to spot the British tourists....and the German tourists, and without a doubt...the Americans who seem to be the loudest!

A whole bunch of over 60's Germans were on the metro today and before they opened their mouths I just knew!!!

RE: Hallo-ha!

I know but didn't think it was for so long.

Kisses and hugs Lago.

RE: Another Try....

How lovely Lago.

When are you coming back? The EU forum is dark and lonely without so many of it's long standing members.

RE: Second chances!

It seems your wife was just lonely.

I understand why you cannot accept that this may have been a deciding factor in the break up because you were providing all the material wealth. However, at the end of the day, this is not enough to keep a relationship strong. We all need attention and love, and long hours at the office or place of work makes that impossible, regardless of how much you were able to offer from a financial perspective.

Your absence due to work also meant that your child did not see enough of you as he or she should have, so think about that when you rail against your visitation rights.

Sorry if that sounds harsh but it's how I see it from your post.

RE: Age range gap

and what do you deduce from that?

RE: Letting it all hang out

I agree with Arabella. We do care, and yes of course there is an element of "there but for the grace..." but after reading your blogs regularly, that element dissipates and there is instead an overwhelming feeling of genuine concern and wishing to be there to hold your hand.

You will get through this, I'm sure, and the chubby little girl will get her wish.

Keep us posted.

RE: thats amore Dean Martin

Oooh thanks Deniz, I love this song.

Perhaps you should have posted it in the video section though?

RE: HUGE PET PEEVE... 'Taking Care Of' aging parents.

Fortunately my parents are not in any need of care so I can only imagine what you seem to be going through.

I do think you need a break though otherwise you're going to need expert care!

RE: The death valley of "investment seed capital"

Starting a new business is always difficult and you have to sacrifice a lot in order to achieve ultimate success.

Starting an innovative business such as yours is much more difficult because you have to convince people of it's worth or viability and as you say, venture capital trusts are not an option.

I've never had my own business, aside from some private teaching work I maintain on top of my employed work, but I was a tax inspector for many years before I started teaching so I know a little about the pitfalls of starting up.

RE: me aka vintagerock

Perhaps I'm old enough to be your mum, I don't know, I haven't looked at your profile, so I don't know how old you are, but it doesn't matter I still feel the same as you, the young girl you referred to, and the old hag.

More scars maybe but the same feelings.

Woman, girl, age plays no part in these emotions.

RE: Why do most all older women wear thier hair short

It's a question I've often asked myself too.

I'm not young but my hair is quite long....as it always has been, only much longer in my younger days. Here in Spain, most middle-aged women retain their long tresses regardless of age and I don't feel out of place, but when I work in Russia I am an oddity because there, I have been told, once a woman hits 35 the hair is shorn!

RE: I need to ...

Too much information Zeloniy!

I feel a bit nauseous now.

RE: I thought I was the luckiest lady in the world

Well sweetie, if you are on a singles site and you are separated, according to your profile, then I guess you've already made up your mind not to trust him again.

Good luck.

RE: We do it differently here...

You're quite right of course, we should all exercise our hard fought right to vote, apathy solves nada!

All the very best to you for Christmas and I look forward to reading more of your blogs in the New Year when I'm cold and lonely in Russia!

Decision time.

Thanks Elena,

My friend has been in touch with me throughout my time her so she has always known that I'm not too happy here, well, in so far as living conditions and my social life goes. She has been keeping me updated about the new work in Spain, but equally has always understood that the pay could be a deciding factor and only I can make the all important decision.

The commitment here was for just three months with a possible extension if the Russian company were happy with our work, which they are, hence the three year deal confirmation recently.

I don't believe I'm indispensable but I know that it would be better all round if I took the project forward. The thing is, I also have private students in Spain who are waiting for me to come back and resume classes, as well as the company classes my friend has organised. There aren't too many good business English teachers in Murcia so it would be difficult for her to find someone.

You're right though, I think she was really hoping I would accept, even though she didn't pressurise me.

I can't think about this anymore tonight, it's giving me a headache!

RE: Photo ratings

Yes it is sad, but just as sad that you were perhaps hoping to be guy of the month, or whatever it's called if you get the top rating.

RE: AAA ADIVICE WANTED NOW!!!

...but having made a similar decision 7 years ago I would say go for it!

I too had a very well paid job with great prospects in the UK, but felt in my heart that it wasn't what I wanted to continue doing until retirement. Divorcing my ex was the deciding factor, and I left the UK to travel round the world teaching.

I ended up here in Spain 3 years ago and I am happier than I've ever been, despite the fact that my income has reduced drastically and I live in rented accommodation. The simple life suits me fine now that I've adjusted and accepted that I can't go out and buy everything I was able to before. I'm healthier because I walk everywhere and eat better food and I don't have any of the stress or pressure related to climbing the career path.

Friends and family keep in touch, distance is not such a hurdle with cheap flights these days.

Good Luck!

Jan.

RE: My life

Most people of all ages on the forums have problems in their lives and you know that. I think I've said this to you before but you do need to be independent and get away fron your Mum. You are very young but even for 25 you seem immature and this is because you still live at home. Relationships with other young people will be made when you have your independence and your life doesn't revolve around your family or your cats!

You can apply for other jobs at any time of the day and if you're lucky enough to be called for an interview then you take the day off work to go! Adverts for shared apartments or apartments which somebody owns privately and wishes to rent out can also be answered day or night. You have a lunch break don't you? If so use that time to look for another job or apartment. There are answers to all your problems, and I'm sorry if I sound hard, but you don't really seem to want to know them.

You are a very funny young man and I enjoy reading your posts but you're letting yourself be dragged down by things which you can do something about if you just try.
