RE: 10 Year Love?

My mother married her childhood sweetheart after he contacted her again when they were in their 60ties. Both were divorced for a long time by then. She unfortunately outlived him but they had good years together.

RE: SA.. Is there Hope?

Biff...you explained it very well. Life is cheap in Africa.

RE: Garden mayhem

Have some wild roses too and sure their thorns are more and bigger than other roses. You definitely need gloves....uncomfortable but only way you can be a match for anything with thorns. Sterkte

RE: Relationship Goal

Like that a lot thanks for sharing.

RE: Breaking news

Still in civilization maybe going back home on the 7th of June. You have it right...to other members in the family there is an endless supply of clean stuff in the cupboards...not having a clue how it got there.

RE: Is time speeding up, or is it just me?

Yes and it is terrible as my garden is not yet ready for the next planting season.

RE: To those who are here 2 years or more

I am not that desperate yet and don't think I will ever be.

RE: 'Charity God!'

You are absolutely right. You work hard for your money so you deserve to treat yourself with something expensive or a nice holiday every now and again. So don't let anyone make you feel guilty about that.

RE: Today, and tomorrow, and tomorrow

Biff...I live in Africa remember....and not the civilized part.

RE: No Holds Barred

Yes it is very hard when your happiness depends on finding someone. If not life is so much easier. Wish I knew it earlier in my life...maybe you have to be old in order to understand that.

RE: The love thing

I always thought having a shared common goal would be the spur to lasting commitment, and never met anyone with a dream to share.

I do need passion. Not just passion between us, although of course that's very nice, but to believe passionately in something and work towards it together - that would do it.

I also thought and still think that is what is needed for a relationship to work...but...it needs more. Gregory fits the bill but I don't really like him much so love in any form is not going to happen.

RE: dogs are not dumb

that is one way of interpreting the look on the dog's face.

RE: Hundreds of innocent wooden chairs executed

Z...it is soft chairs causing a curved bottom like that. I love my hard chairs unconditionally so won't belive the lies spread by sofas and such.

RE: Hundreds of innocent wooden chairs executed

how could they do something so terrible. My heart goes out to their surviving family members.

RE: Come out of the closet !

Good idea Snooks...maybe then the world will understand the logic behind my way of cutting sandwiches.....you can eat the crusts first and save the soft middle piece for last....or the other way round if you like the crust more.

RE: I want a wife

I figured this out long ago when the kids were still in the house. The packing of lunch boxes and getting them to school while al I have to worry about is what to choose frim a cupboard full of clean and ironed clothes....heavenly. Now I don't have much need for a wife anymore so it would most probably have ended in the dvorce court.

RE: Time is short!

Will it be so terrible to face the end of the world alone?...I suspect not so think I'll just go my merry way and see where life takes me.

RE: Boozing and Blogging

Nope so won't know if my comments will be different.
Die windjie waai lekker hier in die baai vanaand.

RE: WHO WANTS TO BE TRICKED ?!.

Do you really expect answers? Don't think you are going to get it here but sometimes miracles happen.

RE: More or No More?

It is good to have a higher education but if your heart is not in it then you would most probably not finish it. To study needs motivation and dedication so it must be what you really want to do else it will be just a burden to you.

RE: Red Flags!!!!

It is sad that we have to check and double check people before we even start a conversation. I just go with my gut feeling and never had a problem. Then again I seldom send private messages on here. Seldom answer any of the mail as well as there are always obvious things in the mails I usually get....like the last one who wants me to be a good wife to his wife.

RE: Had enough

Think this site can be a bit frustrating if you are seriously looking for someone....actually all dating sites are. It is mainly the blogs that keep me here. At least this site is free so it is just time you are maybe wasting.

RE: Sport Vs Scripted idea what do you fancy ?

One match look pretty much the same as the next one to me. Same predictable outcome...one team or man wins. Who cares who that team or man is? That is pretty much how I feel about sport.

RE: They Walk Among Us!

Thanks for the I needed it this morning

RE: "PAYING THE FERRY MAN"(2)

We still have hand drawn ferries. One going over the Orange river to Namibia and one over the Breede river...big enough to carry a couple of cars so have some helpers to pull it across. Paying in advance still applies.

RE: Just call me Fred

I have that same problem...maybe I must buy a dress and stop hanging out in hardware stores looking like I know what I want.

RE: Bad breath

Friends yes, strangers no.

RE: Here's to us

No it would not have been easier. He was too perfect before that.... so I needed an eye opener to get out of a dead end relationship. I don't regret having him in my life and I remember him with fondness.

RE: Here's to us

I was in a LDR for many years. We saw each other every couple of months...sometimes just for a couple of hours. We did lots of fun things together so I didn't really wanted to let go of him. I knew it was going nowhere but I kept hoping....untill he did something that made me face reality. Hope died so I moved on.

RE: "THANK GOD IM A COUNTRY DOG"

That is very tue. I even know the names of the visiting dogs. country dogs are outside dogs and the gates are most of the time open.
