RE: Why u folk get serious?

Having a different opinion than someone else, has nothing to do with picking a fight and I don't think everyone should be neutral at all. There are many people around with many different opinions and the more extreme statements someone makes, the more extreme replies he or she can expect. As long as the person is not played, but the statements he/she makes are, it's not a personal attack.
Some people simply say what most others think and are affraid to say

RE: Super Sunday !

Thats why it's so quiet around here today?!
Thanks for the explanation Jim and have fun watching the game

RE: Some Recent Photos

Nice pics Sweetkitten

I wish I'd live closer to the sea... but it's in my retirement plan

RE: does't answer

Hi Tealite,
What's the difference in the end? Not interested is not interested and no reply says is more clearly than any message can.

I also used to reply to all messages, but I can't be bothered anymore. Many times I politely wrote a 'sorry not interested' message, I would get a very rude message back, calling me all sorts of names, so why should I bother?
Also I don't reply to the 'hi, how are you doing?' messages, simply because they're meaningless and I have nothing to reply.

So, now I only reply to the messages I get from people I know from forums or blogs, the messages that make me laugh or the ones that clearly prove the writer has actually read my profile and is showing genuine interest. But I do state that in my profile as well.

RE: Three

Hi Hammockman, nice one again

Q1. Helping a colleague out with work last Friday
Q2. Irl last year, online right at this very moment
Q3. Off the beaten track, some place sunny and relaxing, preferably near water (Would love to visit New Zealand again)

The nicest thing you can do for me is give me a moment in peace to wake up with my coffee in the morning

RE: My first blog here, I shall call it Mental Meander

Hi Lillyleaf, welcome
I think it's also to make people want to join the forums and blogs... you know if you can't get to something, you want it more?

RE: It's 2 am

RE: Weekend Three

Hammock

Q2. my sister
Q3. about an hour
4. I'm at my best when someone needs a shoulder or an ear.

Off to bed now with my book, need blankets, a huge stack of them

RE: Do men gent anything right about women?

ExitM, it is the only example I have, although my brother and his wife are also going that way... quite special these days
I do believe in love, I don't believe it necessarily has to last forever; if you grow into different directions and don't want the same things out of life anymore, it's better to seperate than to stay together just for the sake of it.
I think that also counts as getting it right; knowing when to quit and part as friends

I will need some booze to keep me warm this weekend... but at least it's not snowing... yet

Have a great weekend too!

RE: AT THAT MOMENT I...

Talking about cool as a cucumber! Kudos to the pilot

RE: Do men gent anything right about women?

Hi ExitM
My mum and dad will be married for 45 years in April... and they still speak to each other. Guess they've been doing something right
If 2 people want to and care enough, they will make it work.

RE: Life after Death!!!!!!!

Don't know, don't care... I live in the now and have other things occupying my mind

RE: Starting At The Top

Filling a hole... digging a hole, big difference

RE: all women

O goodie, another complainer... better get another espresso
O and tell me, saying women want gods (what does a god look like anyway?) or bank balances isn't judgmental in what way?

RE: TRUE???? hehe

Sorry Stony, didn't mean to break up your party
Ah well, there will be a next... lady with a dream

RE: TRUE???? hehe

You guys... doing the party planning already

Better make sure you're not talking to the same lady first

RE: TRUE???? hehe

She's probably dreaming you are... and needs some money to be reunited with you

RE: Happiness = Riches

I would be a psychologist or a published writer.
(writing still makes me happy as a hobby though)

RE: Date

I would never date a colleague and keep my professional and personal life strictly separate, for all the obvious reasons

RE: Happy Republic Day

Happy Republic Day Guess
Have a good celebration

RE: the fragrance after the rain

Touching Daniel, thanks for sharing

RE: Happy Australian Day

Happy Australian Day to all Aussies out there

RE: NOW?

Hi Stony
I just got home from work and am about to poor myself a glass of wine too, since my weekend just started
Normally I would still be stuck in traffic around this time of day.

Spd and Calli, and many happy returns!

RE: they see your bank account

Hi Daniel,
Switch to internet banking...
No bank teller who had a look at my account would ever ask me out on a date; they'd be on the floor laughing their heads off

RE: MISC & FIMD....

Lachica, you can mail me your order for chocolates and I'll send you some; there are so many great patissiers in Brussels


Zweet, same goes for you; these chocolates taste even better when they're shared

Thanks ladies and good night to you Zweet; sweet dreams

RE: MISC & FIMD....

Very true Zweet, his loss
No I just have to find the other guy... who considers me a gain
Better for it to happen now than after I'd spent my money on plane tickets.

Good for you; retail therapy does the trick all the time and it's great you look great in your new dress!

RE: MISC & FIMD....

Hi Lachica
Thanks! I'll be fine, but Belgian chocolate is number 2 on the list... hmmm, shoes and chocolate

I'm going away for the weekend with my brother, sister, niece and their families, so I'll be too busy crying over nothing - I'll take chocolates to share

RE: MISC & FIMD....

Thanks Zweet
I'll invent my own bandaid and do some major shoe shopping or so

RE: MISC & FIMD....

Zweet, it's really annyoing not to know
It happened to me before and sometimes there were signs, but not this time... we were flirting and laughing and then the incredible big silence... I just sent him a last message; probably put my foot in it, but just a little

I do agree with you that speaking up is always best; you do stay true to yourself that way and in the end people will love you for that.

RE: MISC & FIMD....

Thanks Belle
Don't know why I thought it would be different this time... probably because he's a frequent poster here. I know we never have guarantees in live or online; I just believe nobody should be treated as disposable goods. The truth would have been better, but I'll probably never know.
It's not the end of the world, just an unexpected little pain for a bit - Anybody with a band aid around?
