RE: King Burger and new friends

Hey Mimi....big fan here of you.


Anyway, I am still waiting for your secret recipes with noodles.

RE: Neat Math Trick

Pepps......4 Did you use a calculator?

RE: Neat Math Trick

Hey Jim,

It seems that any number you pick will be #9 in the end. Yes...very neat.

RE: what we've become

Forgot to mention the obvious....but of course all these character traits do not work well in a marriage.

RE: Other people's Comments

Jim....I understand.

You are nice not to delete others' posts.

However

The original blogger has the right to delete others' posts. So, I really do not see an issue. I think if you would have an issue with him deleting your post, you should take that up with CS. Just my opinion.

Peace

RE: Other people's Comments

Hello Jim,

From what I now from you, you seem like a pretty grounded person. However, we must respect everyone's boundaries. :) I am sure you know that.

Another thing, some of us do show our "best" side in public. It is a bit like acting. Actually....lol....it is acting. :) Usually in time, their true colors show. From the way it sounds, you got a glimpse of some color with this "gentleman."

RE: CS and I...

Good for you Mimi. You know what sort of person you are looking for and you have it figured out for the most part. It is important that we all learn from past mistakes. Happy searching. :)

Good luck.

RE: Life

I do not think it is silly you. I think you should do what seems to be working for you. If people did not need to see a psychologist, there would be no psychologists.

Like with any doctor, if you feel there is a need to get a second opinion on anything, you may want to consider seeking one from another qualified professional.

Not to mention....did you ask your doctor the same question you just asked us? "Sometime I feel so angry with myself! Why I can't be stronger?? Why??"

RE: Let's Talk Man Talk...

Okay Ange....thank you for clearing it up. Although, I would have liked to seen man-hater somewhere in there.

RE: "Life Is A Gift"

Very good stuff and it really puts things into perspective.

RE: Let's Talk Man Talk...

Sista...sorry, I guess technically it is the third paragraph starting with the word "there."

It just refers to "womanizing" and "sleeping around from bed to bed with other women." To me it inferred you were talking solely about men. Maybe I am wrong.

RE: Just normal, what happened to normal people?

Mimi, you are not fussy.

RE: Just normal, what happened to normal people?

As far as your initial question on normalcy, have fun finding that. We live in crazy times...:(

RE: Let's Talk Man Talk...

Sista....I am sorry, I stopped reading your blog after the first paragraph. It seems as if you wrote this for the women here. The impression I got from your first paragraph is that men are the ones that do all the bad in relationships. From my experience in life, women are not exactly Saints either.

RE: Just normal, what happened to normal people?

I should clarify, when I say do not go seeking women...I am NOT saying to not watch for their signals. A single man should always be watching for a woman's signals.

RE: Just normal, what happened to normal people?

Hey Greg,

I am in a similar situation as you...only thing is I just turned 42....lol.

Myself, I would figure out what women are looking for. I am using this "free" time to become a better man. The ironic thing I noticed (being single for 4 years now), is when you are not seeking to find a woman, they seem to find you.

I love the night life....live music and getting out and meeting new people. I am sure you know this but you need to put yourself out there. Very rarely will you find your next lady knocking on your front door.

As far as the internet is concerned, I would not hold your breath. It seems as if a lot of ladies online really do not want to settle down with just one man....that is my take on it. Unless you look like Brad Pitt or somebody similar, online dating is very difficult.

My advice, learn what women want, become a better man, do not worry about finding a woman (they will find you), and use the internet as a secondary means over going out in real life.

Bottom line....women decide and men either accept or decline.

RE: The biggest coward

There was one woman on here that I thought we were close friends until she called me an old bag of bones. She is just a coward!

RE: Photo frame

Feel free to post your recipes....I know I could use some help with cooking. My last meal I made may have been healthy, but the taste was something else.

BTW...I love noodles.

RE: smart girl...

I would like somebody who can "shift gears." ....basically, be silly stupid, fun personality and have the capability of making smart decisions in life.

I am still single after some years now...apparently that does not exist in the female race. j/k....most likely it is me is the reason I am single.


Pepps....common sense.....

RE: my first ever Relationship August 22nd 2011 to De

Sorry to hear....get used to it.

RE: "Be strong!"

Mimi I have been in the exact boat you speak of. It took some time for me to see that boat was not so bad. In fact, I found some happiness later on because of that boat.

Keep floating.

RE: A Challenging Thought

Keys I always enjoy reading your blogs. There are times I learn something new and the other times help me reinforce my perspective and behaviors with life.

Thanks for sharing.

RE: Another Crusade To The Holy Land?

Hey Cat, how are you doing?

I am a guy that does not need to wear his religion on his shirt sleeve. However, there are some religious blogs I have found informative and unfortunately, entertaining. lol

But, I just read them when I choose to.

You are right, blog land here has become a bit more duller. Maybe I should come up with some sort of strange blogs? lol....I will be next on the CS chopping block.

Take care Cat....hope the best for you.

RE: Face Book issues

Hello Ken,

You make a very good point in the last paragraph of your last response. This is something I had never thought of.

RE: Lonely...

I would have guessed you would have wanted to be Pink Panther. BTW, I loved that cartoon growing up.

RE: Why men love BAD girls?

Do men like bad girls? I suppose it depends on the man.

RE: Tolerance is not a four lettered word

In addition I should say, I only have a Westerner's male perspective on things. It truly is nice to get more of a global view.

RE: Tolerance is not a four lettered word

Well Lou,

You sure know how to stir up a hornets nest. However, a great subject that I believe needed to be discussed.

RE: Tolerance is not a four lettered word

I think we are in a transition and in time women will be at the top in the labor market and government. The old days, we relied on brute strength. Now, with technology, women can do most jobs the same as men. I feel a lot of jobs these days rely a lot of good communications skills...as well as with government. Women dominate men in that area...."gift of the gab."

RE: Tolerance is not a four lettered word

Yes Lou, there is wage differences between men and women. However, I think with more labor now on the market, a lot of wages are going down across the board...for men and women.

I just heard that GM, in 2008ish, once paid their entry level workers $30 an hour. Now, they only pay them $18 an hour for the same jobs.

Also, in the hospital system, the older employees with many years under their belts with the hospital are indirectly getting pushed out. Thus, they are higher younger and new employees for about 1/2 the wages the veteran workers were making.

It comes down to supply and demand. Now with many more employees in the market, wages go down.

In Michigan, it is said that half of the families are struggling to pay their bills and put food on the table.

I agree, it sounds like greed to me. The economy is weak and the stock market is it record high levels. Hmmm....something does not add up right to me. I suspect that many companies are now paying less for employees, therefore, making higher profits. That may account for some of it.

Whatever is going on, it seems as if we are not living in the same world of about 10 or so years ago.
