RE: These are The Things that I Miss

Nicely put Calliope

Elmorya, that's a good point you make, being alone also makes you not take things for granted.
However, I've been alone for so long that I don't even miss most of the things Calliope describes any longer and I don't even mind.
Scary thought sometimes (only sometimes )

RE: Virus Warning (Funny)

Hi Huggerman, I'm from '70 but definitely caught it too... and it's really hard to get rid of this virus

RE: I give thanks

Hi Jim, you always manage to put a smile on my face, so thanks for that.
Happy Thanksgiving!

RE: TURN BACK TIME...

Makis I wouldn't want to turn back time as well. Everything happening in my life, made me into the person I am today and I like to think I learned from the stupid choices I made in the past. I believe in the natural balance of things and I'm in a good place now
The only real regret I have is not knowing what it feels like to be a mother, but some things simply are not in your control - c'est la vie.

RE: Multiple Streams of Income

Btw Jim, if I sign up 10 people to read your blog, do I get a discount?

RE: Multiple Streams of Income

Wow Jim, you're one busy guy!
I do the green power and ebay thing , but end up buying more online than selling (stupid shoes )
You are very right though; if you put in some time to research, there are lots of ways to make some money... if one's not too lazy to work the ideas, like me

RE: So I lost a close friend, a few days ago.....

Hi Elmorya, I'm very sorry for your loss! It is very shocking if someone close passes suddenly and I can understand you wanting to express your feelings about it.
Take the time to mourn and keep him alive in your memory; best wishes to you

RE: Just for laughs (Larry)

Get well soon Larry!

RE: Here It Is , easy way to put pictures in comments

Hi Virgo

RE: How to tell if you have smelly feet.

Nope, just that my feet aren't that bad

RE: How to tell if you have smelly feet.

Jim, I live on the 14th floor... it has to be real, real bad before I'd jump
That kitty could live happily in my boots forever

RE: One huge crash of lightning!

So sorry to hear Tange! I hope your hard drive and all files will be rescued

RE: Walking The Dog

Great one!

RE: Did You Ever?

Rowdy.
I've been on the other end a few times and always appreciated the honest and direct way... the 'short' pain
It's never ok to play with someones feelings or string them along.

RE: Did You Ever?

You couldn't have know Lachica... he should have told you about his true feelings

RE: Did You Ever?

Hi Rowdy, it happened to me once (not counting the little boy that sat next to in kindergarden ) and it was quite difficult.
He was married and I was friends with both him and his wife for years... until he told me he'd fallen in love with me.
I told him I didn't feel the same way; there's no way of sugarcoating it and best to be clear. I also asked him to tell his wife which he did. Ofcourse the friendship changed after that and I decided to take my distance. Met him a few years later... he's still together with his wife and they even had another baby so I'm glad they made it through even though I feel sorry for the friendship.

RE: Just like a little girl...

Hi Tange At the moment I seem to only have this kind of relationship with my sister; we are each others shoulder to cry on and share everything.
It would be nice to share my weakness with a man again... the key is indeed, as Aswina wisely mentions, if we let them
On the other hand, I don't mind feeling strong, I depend on my strength when times are rough and when I'm doing fine, I depend on my strength to help out others.

RE: MY LIVING WILL ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Gotta love 'em

RE: Ok. Lets see, where are we.

Hiya Morgen and good evening too

Yes, I have some... which one would you like?

RE: Hugs to all

Thanks Jim

RE: Cannot Sleep

Hi Mizzy, hang in there; sleep will come eventually. I'd go with the earphones and music, always relaxes me.

Lachica, we do actually make hot chocolate milk here in winter... with some whipped cream on top a very nice warming comfort drink

RE: FILTERBOX???

Avec plaisir Mariama. The only thing about these new settings I find a pity is that you can't read your blocked mail any longer; it used to make nice reading material for rainy days

RE: Have You Ever Been Thrown Out...

My god Rowdy, that is rude indeed!
But for some reason I'm not shocked; the System works its mysterious ways...

RE: Have You Ever Been Thrown Out...

House, school, car... I was even thrown off an island... used to be a bit of a rebel
Changed my ways for the better over the years

What in the world did you do to get thrown out of county jail?

RE: FILTERBOX???

Hi Mariama Filterbox is now Blocked settings and you can see if a mail is read from the colour of the little clock icon behind it. If it's red, the mail is still unread, otherwise it turns grey.

Welcome back

RE: All men are dogs?!!

Think I'm more of a catwoman... so I do prefer batmen.
Do you have to feed bats as well?

RE: away

Best of luck Lindz; she'll love her bike!

RE: Better Than A Flu Shot

Great laugh!

RE: Healing!!!

Hi Kamrani; very sweet and nice story! It probably also shows the extra special bond between twins.

RE: Big decisions

Hi Margo, making decisions can be hard indeed, especially when they are life changing.
If reason doesn't work - you already compared the advantages and disadvantages - try to take a step back for a while and let go, it takes away the pressure and might reveal a different outlook to you. Or try to choose with your heart instead of your head; in your heart you might even have made the choice already.

Good luck and hope you'll choose what feels best for you.
