Just a thought here....

Any sort of relationship Merc?

What about with a friend, or a pet? So, you are saying you can genuinely be happy sitting all by yourself isolated from any sort of relationship...with anyone?

You are forming relationships on these blogs. Is there some sort of subconscious desire that drives you here for perhaps something missing in your life?

Just a thought here....

Hello Merc,

How about in a marriage with a loving spouse and you loving him....leading to a smile on your face...indicating happiness?

Just a thought here....

Yes Robert. Those beer belly contests...where you lose for winning. You lose your spouse while she is with a slimmer guy sporting a bigger pencil, because the gut is now doing it job. You win the beer in the cases, ends up in a case of being left in the corner by yourself. That competition is certainly leading to the demise of society.

Very good points Keeps.

Just a thought here....

JD or any other sort of alcoholic drink.

I don't know what this blog is really about either yet Robert. I bet by the end of everything, we might both get a better understanding.

Just a thought here....

Keepers....could competition be used to better society? With sports, we get entertainment value. With women, we get women competing with other women.

Just a thought here....

Maybe society has seen what happens when "Me" becomes the sole importance. So far we had a 15 or so year run of that mindset. I am not saying society was perfect before that...and there is no question about it, things do become worse before they become better. Maybe there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel coming.

Just a thought here....

Hello Keepers....I suppose a bit. You are right, thankfully there is still good out there.

RE: When I don't know..

The only thing you would be embarrassed of is showing your consideration for your late husband....I think anyway. Most of the time, your first instincts are the right instincts.

Just a thought here....

Have you ever watched Little House on the Prairie? Aside from the lack of technology they had, what about the the love that was within that family. I know, it was a tv show. But watching that show back in the day, I didn't think that was anything foreign....they way they all loved each other and the happiness they had.

Just a thought here....

Blue.....true. I would go even a step further by saying I have heard some talk about them being an economic drain on society...and playing a role in the downfall of society by their way of living in the past.

Just a thought here....

When children get older, they are going to perpetuate what their parents have taught them. That will hardly be the happiness of what family brings to life.

Instead it is, me... Me is singular, have fun trying to find meaningful happiness with that.

Just a thought here....

I have heard it on several occasions....one of the parents want to stay until the child/children are old enough before I leave my spouse. That couple must be a happy one. You know, that non-verbals make up 80%+ of communication. Children are not dumb, they can understand that language.

Just some additional thoughts.

RE: When I don't know..

For you to ask this question in the first place Usha, I get the impression that you think it is right to add Late Mr. I would say do as you desire and feel is right. If somebody doesn't like it, well...we can't please everyone. We can just be who we are.

RE: Imagine...

nice song ch

mental masturbastion

Molly, I also heard it depends on which way the wind is blowing that day too. Thanks for the additional info.

mental masturbastion

Berry....I agree with you. However, before asking her, I think paying close attention to her non-verbal communication will help in determining if one is wasting their time or not.

Blue....some women are shy.

In addition Ben....the duration of these gaps may play an important role too.

Hello KN,

I agree with you to a certain extent. I was going to say, cutting ties after the second incident might be a bit too brash....but, you know....I think you might be on to something there. Ultimately, I think it would depend on the situation and the level of impeding behavior.


Ben.....hello. I think you are right...about creating that gap and a better mutual understanding is achieved. Some people require many gaps before the message finally sinks in. How patient is the gap giver and the perception of their boundaries being respected, I think, will determine how many gaps are given until trying to maintain the friendship is forever lost.

Rach.....thank you. Sometimes talking falls on deaf ears.

Hello lovely Pepps. That is a very good point you bring up. I suppose it could come down to the stipulations you set in place beforehand. A point in which I did overlook when writing this blog. However, I would say...if it is established you are just friends and the information the other party is trying to get from you goes beyond just the level of friends....is there a time when your obligation of being totally and completely honest with your friend should be stopped....especially if you feel they are impeding on a boundary of yours?

BlueS,

Thank you for sharing your perspective.


Bear, Likewise, thank you for sharing your perspective.

And Molly, you too. Thank you for sharing your thought.

I can relate with what you say 1-2. ....good contribution....and, I believe, so true everything you say.

Very nice Usha....I would agree, boundaries must come into play here.


M4 too.......

M4....same here. I don't play those either.

Ash and Robert....I had to do some work. It was just perfect timing that I was automatically signed out from being signed in all day.

...and calling again.

are we olbligated

Robert.....would you answer your cell phone is the number that is calling says "private unavailable?" I have never had that happen on my phone before. So far I have not answered for the 10th time it tried calling me. In fact, it just called again.

Thanks Ash. They say you cook anything with Jack Daniels, even brownies. Actually, I think that is if you are drinking the Jack Daniels you can cook anything.
