RE: Ever Feel Like?

I have only being married one month short of 10 years and no long term relationships before or after that...so suspect I don't have what it takes to be in a committed relationship.

RE: Question - what is a another word for male lover?

Vivian...in Afrikaans we don't have anything but friend. I think it is because sleeping together, without being married, was never an option...so why create a word for that. Know my mother sometimes uses the word houvrou and houman when she refers to people having a sinful relationship.

RE: Near Death Experiences

Nothing seriously bad has ever happened to me...or maybe rather I have never been injured even when something seriously bad happened to me. Was for instance in a collusion where my truck was a write off but got out without a scratch.

RE: The definition of nothing

Nothing is the absence of all things and that is not really possible as nothing is never completely empty.

RE: What a waste of time & money.

I was close to a fanatic about honesty and fairness but learned to expect that is an impossible dream. Dishonesty unfortunately became the cornerstone of our economy...or that is the way I feel sometimes.
I still have to put up with my youngest son but luckily I never have to worry about any computer hick ups with him around.

RE: What Is Reality?

Reality I think is mostly based on consistency. For instance if I hit the table with my hand and sometimes my hand is stopped but other times my hand goes right through it then the table it most probably not real.

RE: Introvert people..Are you? I am!

I am a complete introvert but learned to adjust to a world filled with extroverts. I still struggle with making small talk and don't always remember all the stupid social rules needed in order to be seen as nice and not rude. My mother suspected I was autistic when I was little as she could not understand my lack of interest in social interaction and very little tolerance for hugging and cuddling. The few real friends I had in my life were all introverts as I find extroverts way too exhausting and demanding.

RE: What Is Reality?

Reason I say it is subjective is emotions also play a part in how and what we see as real.

RE: What is honesty?

Admitting that his ex partner sometimes stays over at his house in order to spend some time with the kids, but omitting to mention that she shares his bed and body, is maybe not lying but surely also not being honest.

RE: What Is Reality?

Reality is mostly subjective so don't think anything is completely real. We lock up or treat people with drugs who's reality differs too much from the majority, but maybe they are living in the real world and us in the illusion.

RE: Bedroom Etiquette!

Eating biscuits of toast in bed as crumbs between the sheets can be very uncomfortable.

RE: reading your stars....

My brother told me when the lady who did that part of the magazine was on leave they use to just scramble it around a bit so what was suppose to happen to Leo the previous week is going to happen to Virgo this week.

RE: How to Not be a Good date/Companion

I don't see the problem as your date is suppose to accept you the way you are...

RE: Resilience?

this is the way I see it as well. You can overcome anything if you face it and deal with it rather than crawl up in a bundle and blame the world for picking on you.

RE: Dance - Like Angels on the Moon

This is lovely. I like it and I am not even a romantic person.

RE: Long Distance Love – Possible or Impossible? Inte

I believe it can only work if you try to meet in real life as soon as possible. You can keep a dream going only for so long before you don't believe in it anymore.

RE: is it me or...

Can be your goats...especially if you let them wander into someones garden.

RE: Really???

Yes the cast iron one is best for cooking and self defense..

RE: I am living proof....

I have found most things last long after the expiry date. I never even check the date on dry goods as checking for living things is a better way to know if it is still good or not.

RE: Really???

You bet... I am only comfortable with a heavy frying pan so don't think I want one.

RE: Happy Happy Sunday Folks!!

Have a lovely day. I enjoyed your Friday blog but did not comment as I only read it last night.

RE: Life begins at. ...

Life begins when you realize all you have been told all your life are lies or debatable and that nothing can be trusted to be what you expect it to be. It is then that you start to build a life for yourself that you can live with passion and enthusiasm even if others think you have lost the plot and are heading for disaster.

RE: Cops have bad Days too..

had some of those parsley biscuits once and chatting on the internet did not go so well after a while. Gave up and went to bed as most of the time I could not even understand what I was typing.

RE: YOU SEE YOUR NEIGHBOURS! DO YOU REALLY KNOW THEM

Here everybody greet everybody even if they are strangers. Most of the time they will even indulge in small talk as well. My neighbors are not my friends but we talk to each other from time to time.

RE: The Miracle of Ageing

agree with everything you said. My mother living with me and seeing how old age can rob you of so many things, motivates me to enjoy whatever I still can while I still can.

RE: I just want to thank Jarred

Also enjoy Jarred's posts.

RE: Quote

Yes...love is not always enough. So sometimes you have to let go and move on.

RE: Road rage

so glad I am not the only one. I loved your blog as I can identify with that. My poor mother takes out her hearing aid when she has to go somewhere with me.

RE: acknowledging our mistakes

Lindsy...if you don't kiss and make up with someone you don't like you have the benefit of that person staying permanently out of your life....unless he/she is the vindictive kind.

RE: The Phenomena of Tailgaters!

They can be extremely irritating but I try to ignore them...not that it is easy as you cannot help to look in the mirror every now and again.
