And thanks to the rest of you commenting. Actually, we pretty much do spend alot of time together now that they are adults. It's that the fishing trip was really special to me.
I just read your profile and you do need to re-do it. Talk about the things you like to do and the things you expect in a relationship. Talk about the kind of woman you are looking for. Don't ask women to come to you first. It's probably not going to happen.
You MUST take the first step. Your shy so seek that shy one yourself. Do not be afraid to hear her say, "I am not interested".
Then! When you meet someone that cares for you and WHEN she asks you about all the personal stuff you got into in your profile tell her all about it. She will cuddle you with true love.
This is what puts me off in a relationship. I am a hard worker and the reason is our family grew up struggling for everything. My ex-wife and a few ex-girlfriends always complained that I was always working. I don't know why they complained because I provided nice homes for them, cars, more than simple amenities and I did it gladly without any paybacks for the things I did for them. It was a lose-lose situation.
I'm an old guy and I have no relationship now. It's just as well because I am contented.
I'm not a lady and I don't know Alex Jones, but I do want to comment on the city you live in. I did a double take because the town I used to live in was small. A few towns over was this even smaller town that wasn't close to anything. It was really isolated. The towns name is also Cheraw!
Ahhhh! Football, such a great spectator, and participant too, sport! Have fun because I know I will. Be sure to eat a hot dog, drink a beer, pop some corn and cheer your guts out1
I work with an employment firm that states in their Terms of Agreement that we are not to bring work home. Or like you, LIVEINHOPE, I probably would.
On the other hand (BTW your taste in music is excellent...STING!!!) you are home in relaxing attire, some snacks and drinks of your choice or , you can get up and dance (I love to dance) and so on. Could you do that at the office? Have fun and forget the hassle of things.
I just googled divorce rate statistics by Nationmaster.com and they state that this is the divorce rate for every 1000 marriages by country:
1. United States 4.95 2. Puerto Rico 4.47 3. Russia 3.36 4. UK 3.08 5. Denmark 2.81 6. New Zealand 2.63 7. Australia 2.52 8. Canada 2.46
The lowest divorce rate goes to Sri Lanka @ 0.15 marriages per 1000!
I have no opinion since I am not qualified as a twice divorced person and now single for 35 years, but I thought it would be interesting to see these stats.
I would find no one else better than you to say this to because I know you will understand: I do not celebrate holidays for this reason (And no, I am not a JW): Holidays always seem to take away from the praise for our Lord Jesus Christ. And if there is praise for Him it is that one day only. I prefer to thank only HIM each and everyday.
I really like stuff like this. It really touch's my heart to see love happen whether it is between children, parents & grandparents and children, between young spouses, and last but not least, old spouses like those in your picture.
I agree with the other 2 blogs. You must tell her that she is wrong because if you don't you may lose friends in the process because of her. And you may not want that to happen. Her rude attitude will make others also judge you wrongly as well even if you remain kind and courteous. Weigh the factors and see if this person is really a friend!
Great shot! I used to live by this lake in Los Angeles called Echo Park Lake and it had the most exquisite water lilies. Huge ones that bloomed every year. They were a Japanese species but I just liked to look at them and so I never knew that much more about them.
And now, the dozen roses story: I have received a "bouquet" of balloons from a lady I was once dating. I don't think I would really mind getting a dozen roses anytime. So far nothing has arrived.
That is the real truth. One sided love is never the way to go. If I'm interested in a woman I will open up with a conversation and go from there. Who knows, if she doesn't show any interest you may gain a lifelong friend instead of a love affair!
They are there and they will try to railroad you. But if you do things well in the workplace then there should be no problem. And if there are problems just move on because that place was not for you!
@ becky96: Oildale, huh! I used to go hunting for fossilized sharkteeth in Oildale. It was alot of fun. Too bad that quarry isn't open anymore I would still be going up there.
And regarding those that complain about bad drivers. I am happy to say I drive excellent. I am 70 years old, I have never had an accident, I have gotten 3 tickets in my entire life of which one was "speeding" in a 25 mph zone and I was doing 31 mph. I guess you would have to understand Pasadena, CA for that one. And I pay $330 a year for insurance. So I do practice what I preach!
In America, some people that drive pickups and SUV's speed around or slice in and out of traffic as if they're is somehow some law that allows them to do that.
Or anyone who doesn't come to a complete stop or doesn't even slow down when making a turn on a red light!
And last but not least. The cell phone users while driving!
And, of course, there's never a cop around when that happens.
