Nonsense! Pain and fear are different things. Contrary to what people think, pain is measurable. Tearing muscles whilst giving birth is equally measurably to other inflicted pain. Pain thresholds vary enormously and to some a finger into a wounded area is excruciating whilst to another it is manageable. Fear of getting jabbed is conditional. Acupuncturists will tell you that few to none actually feel the insertion. However, a beginner nurse inserting a catheter into a vein is a very different matter as the catheter can be painful. Hands up all of you who say you are spiritual! Well may be you just have more of a specific hormone than another person. Your hormones control what you feel, how much of it and then the brain administers what the messengers relay. The tingling down you spine is a hormone and not the walking dead. The sight of a needle has a connection somewhere and I doubt that men are any different to men.
There is an invisible line in time and that day never returns. Look forwards, never back, as there is nothing there but your frozen memories. His life is his own as is hers. Live your life - it's yours to fulfil. Waste not a moment, a tear, seize every moment, as you never know the last one. Do we?
For a week I was eating my iPhone but once I recognised what I was doing, and admitted it, the healing began. Now I can't tend emails from my phone. Now please appreciate the delicate condition I'm in, as I don't want to to talk about it.
It seems like you are a man hater and that's okay because it's possible for you to have been through terrible traumas. But here's a woman's joke on men.
A Clean House
The first man married a woman from Italy. He told her that she was to do the dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third day, he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away.
The second man married a woman from Poland. He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done and there was a huge dinner on the table.
The third man married a girl from Israel. He ordered her to keep the house clean, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything but by the third day, some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher. He still has some difficulty when he pees......
I haven't had it all my own way ever; I have good reason to be very proud of the women whom I set up for life - at my cost; I don't hate women but I'm more suspicious of what they have to offer, which can be evaluated at anytime as many women are expressive and honest.
Reviews on the net suggest that many "leading websites" are ripping off and that if anyone eventually meets someone it's more about the law of averages and luck.
It's luck any way its viewed, however, the purpose of the article was to flush out conversation on the realities of internet dating. So far, it's interesting.
Personally I'm interested in one person and hopeful that she will slowly become more open to further discussion.
I. Don't. Play. Games. With. Anyone.
That in itself disarms people who don't know me because most people are guarded and suspicious. I'm the latter but I have a very long and enduring tolerance with game players. It's a game and so long as I'm clear about not losing something I deem valuable, I'm okay.
All of my replies are what I feel but also I don't take everything so seriously and that allows me room for error or change in my thinking.
If anyone wants to play a game I'm done writing let's begin. I'm waiting.
Hi Ted, Would you like to expand on this - I don't quite get what you mean - may be it's because it is very early here 5am and I should be in bed. Ivan
There's another way to look at this condition. Given that you are relatively young and are experiencing life in all its forms I'd keep a diary of my feelings and "happenings" in your relationships. Try not to make the same mistakes. Try not to become a victim of habits - your habits. Don't get down or at least see what makes you get low and control it. "You don't have to get down on the ground". It's there for the taking - reach out and change how you feel.
I've got to the point where it's best for me to have no expectations. I believe it's unrealistic of me to think that there's a possibility that something good will happen, or follow through, as I think it should. So I need to slow down and concentrate on who I really like and subtly, persist. If the energy dries up, I move on. What else is there to do? Equally we all need to expand on our pictures and express ourselves differently.
As promised there are new pictures of me using my iPhone. The poses are to allow the viewer to look inside me and have a better idea of my character. Please, I'm not a chameleon, I've tried to be me and as I see myself, yes that's who I am. Inquiring, cheeky, mischievous, funny, amusing, witty. I can't go on I'm going to be ........
I think it's more about presentation. Your image presents well even though it's a bit too far away. You could have the picture taken closer but if you do put that thick, beautiful hair back, up etc. Show more of your inner beauty. You have to work (mentally) with it and get the result that shows you. There's more depth than you are showing us. And, no I don't believe it's about how photogenic a person is - of course it makes it a whole lot easier - and some are going to have that but think of what you have and how that has to be to portrayed. Don't give up on what makes you unique from everyone else on the planet. If I'm horribly blunt send me a backhand and I'll feel it. But for what its worth, I see beauty wherever it exists and that's because I look for it. Not everyone does that - it's my thing - what's yours?
I had a Maltese terrier that was 15 years old and he passed away. He was very cleaver. I never hit him, only ever showed him love. As unique as he was, I'd love another - teddy-dog.
It's normal when there's no one with you to feel alone. I am alone and sometimes I get down and feel lonely. But in my 30's I was too busy to feel lonely. One of the replies you got was to do all the things you like doing and to be a well rounded person you need to get to a stage where you are not feeling lonely. You need to know when there's someone there for you but you also need to be independent. That means your life is not totally dependent on another person to "make you happy" - you need to be happy before you meet someone. Their existence should not make you or break you. One day even a puppy that has a short life has to die - that will hurt a great deal.
I'm forever grateful to have an opportunity at meeting someone who needs a person like me and for another 20 years or more we can have joy in our lives knowing that one day one of us will be alone again and forever.
It's not negative thinking but a positive affirmation of the condition of living, of one individual's life - yours or mine. Be positive about finding who you really are and you will eventually find a like minded person - or a complete opposite. "Great minds - think differently".
