RE: Women and makeup

Hi Jana, I know… I actually enjoyed the read yesterday and I don’t think you stated anything against anybody… although your hippie remark was just on the line
(I just left my ‘hippie-period’ behind a few years ago and yes, some hippies do remove hair, great cushion-filling )

Anyway, to each his own and we all have the freedom to do as we please... thank heavens for that!

RE: Nobody wants to chat!

Hi Quest I agree with Marina and Jana on this one; I would never add someone on msn or yahoo and give my private email address after only exchanging a few emails here. It's more common sense than anything else and I don't like chatting to begin with; it keeps me glued to my pc where I can reply to emails whenever I like.

Jana, it wasn't better when the IM function worked... you would get a lot of very annoying pop ups and most requests would be if you'd want to cam, so no big changes there

RE: Unforgettable......

Hi Music Don't worry, you were probably too wrapped up in the music to notice
Cool, I admire people who write and perform their own music. I'm quite tonedeaf so gave up trying

I like the Gibson sound too, am not so familiar with Guild but enjoy Fender as well; also depends on who's playing ofcourse.

Musicians getting payed to play certain instruments? That sounds so wrong for any instrument, but I guess that comes with commercial territory. Luckily there are still plenty of independant artists/songwriters around

RE: Women and makeup

@Fieldworking: I didn't put any words into your mouth; I asked you a question, that's what the '?' was for
By going on and on and on about this you do come across as insecure and quite frustrated indeed. That's my opinion. Lighten up a little. Live and let live

RE: Unforgettable......

Van Halen... love those guitars Jana, what an era

Still early 90's:

RE: Unforgettable......

Bonnie's definitely got a great voice... still a great song!

Hitting the 90's, still love this one as well, Extreme:

RE: Unforgettable......

Certainly not forgotten Music; I like the guitar too.
Do you write music yourself?

RE: Unforgettable......

I do to Jana; men with better hair than mine

We must not forget the ladies though... this is early 80's but the lady rocks

RE: Unforgettable......

I was 19 in '89 and living the students life... plenty of great music and great memories

RE: Unforgettable......

Also a nice one Jana

I feel like going though my old records now; too bad they're stored at my brothers attic

RE: Unforgettable......

Wow, haven't heard this one for ages... certainly takes me back as well. Big hair, leather and a lot of headbanging - loved the late 80's
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

RE: Women and makeup

Hi Fieldworking, why do you care so much what other people think of you?
And why would you say you may not be the most attractive person or look better with a little make up and even state men would give you a second look if you wore make up? If you don't believe you're attractive and if you're not comfortable in your skin, no quantity of make up or creme would make any difference.

I don't think there are any women out there who think all women are more pleasurable to look at with make up; like you say, it's personal and one can simply express ones personal opinion and still respect someone elses opinion; that's what makes the world and the blogs an intersting place

Personally I hardly use any make up apart from lip gloss; I use plenty of creams and sometimes like to pamper myself with a little extra treatment; all for me and not for a guy.
I can also not shave my legs for 2 weeks - hell, I haven't had a date in ages (and with this statement my chances are getting even slimmer )- walk in a room and still turn heads... it's all in the attitude.

RE: Seeing red

Great pic of a beautiful little bird Jim!
Does this cardinal live in the wild where you live?

RE: Today .... and what a day it is =)

Nice one! And enjoy the rest of your day

RE: love

I'm with Morgen on the happiness is easy part.
Happiness comes from within and you need to be happy with yourself in order to find love. How can you be ready to love someone if you don't love yourself?

Love is only difficult because people put so many conditions on it and have too many expactations. Why?

When it feels right, it feels right and things go naturally... I still believe

RE: What do you think? I should wear less make-up and

Great look Calliope! The lips totally complement the eyes; I wouldn't change a thing

RE: Photo on the nightstand

funny!!

RE: The Autumn Leaves

Saw that one coming Jim...

RE: Ugh!

Doesn't sound too good buckeye
Hope you feel better soon!

RE: I feel sorry

Because???

RE: I'm Thinking of You Every Day

Hi Virgosingle, I like your definition of soul mate and oh would we be lucky to meet that person to show us our ways...
I don't think we only have one soul mate and indeed I don't think they stay forever, since we grow and develop and move to different stages in life; therefore we will connect to different people as well.
To me a soul mate is the one I connect to on all different levels and who I love unconditionally... meaning setting free when the time is up as well.
Do you believe in true love? I do, but I don't believe it needs to last forever. It can, but it doesn't really matter.

Hope you will find your soul mate soon!

RE: Religion or no religion

You're ever so right; people should be judged on their actions and not on their beliefs.
However, people do judge and anything that's outside their comfort zone, is often referred to as wrong.
People are people and this will never change.
I was raised in a very strict protestant family and found the intolerance always very striking; it seems to me that the more religious one is, the more intolerant.
Ofcourse it can also be the other way; I know plenty of couples, where both partners have different backgrounds or religion and they manage to see this as an addition to their lives and relationship instead of an obstacle. It all depends on the person I think.

RE: what life is about...

Very nicely put and quite right, I believe.
We live and learn... every day at a time.

RE: fear of Love

How would you define true love in the first place?
I think it can mean many different things to as many different people.

Yes, we (both men and women) do get hurt and that might cause us to push away someone who gets really close; it is only a natural reaction, instinctive and it does take time to trust again after being hurt.

For me, true love means being able to share all and feel like one with my partner... in all freedom, with respect, understanding and accepting the other for who he is. Being completely open and sharing mind, body and spirit can seem quite frightening indeed, but it's also a beautiful experience when it works.

I don't think true love necessarily needs to last forever... people change, circumstances change and you might find out one day that you don't want the same things out of life any longer... should you hold on then? Or let go before both of you'll end up unhappy?

I'd say, enjoy the good moments, take them as they come and appreciate them for what they are.
Nature has a way of always creating balance and we wouldn't be able to appreciate the good, if we never experienced the bad.
