RE: Asking The Right Questions

My favorite response to the question, "Do you know what time it is?" is,
"It's TIME for you to get a watch!!!"



Of course, run when you say it.

RE: well you'll never guess what I just done.

You can send yourself a flower?

Can you see if you opened it?

RE: Since the last time..

Any idea how long it has been?

I honestly don't know how long I've been on CS I guess I could go back and search the site, lol.

Look forward to some interesting discussions.

RE: Since the last time..

Hi Gypsy... So nice to see you again!

You brought a lot of great fun to blogland.

Has any of the other greats returned as well?

Our favorite desert dweller? Redex thinks so.

RE: beauty

aw, she should have let him have his beer.

RE: Come on "baby"

I don't like it when men I don't know call me "honey", "sweetie" or "dear". It seems condescending or degrading to me. Can you see women talking like that to men? Like they are patting their little head?

RE: :(

Rob, a woman comes in to help me clean about once a month. She is paid very well to do this, but there have been a few times when she has used cleaning agents that thinned the finish on expensive furniture, etc. So this subject somewhat interested me as I could sympathize. I also didn't want to "scold" the lady, just not happy with the casualties.

Yes, I could just hire another, but she has been doing it a long time, and I know that another could bring in worse issues, lol.

So are there more important issues? Absolutely yes. But this one was not so trivial as to scold those who replied to it - I felt her question had merit.

RE: :(

It would depend on a lot of factors.

How long she had been working for me.

How many other mistakes she has made, laundry or otherwise, that were expensive.

How repentent she was.

How much the clothing was and how much her salary was (being her salary was fair).

I take it she did not offer to help replace your shirt.

If this was the first time anything like this happened, it was truly an accident, and overall she does a wonderful job for you, I would show more mercy than mercenary-ness (extracting money from her). The "debt" would be forgiven.

Otherwise, you could have her pay for the shirt by deducting a small amount from her salary each month, or you could do as you first suggested (fire her, etc.)

Do what you think in your heart is right...how you would like to be treated.

Not an easy decision, I know.

RE: decent women

Many women have fallen in love with the carpenter and not the king, so don't be discouraged. Stories abound on this very (romantic) theme.

However, while it is the total package that counts, never lead with the poor card, especially when just getting to know someone. It is an immediate turn off because it implies a negative attitude and lack of ambition. Most women are looking for a partner, not a dependent, and would find it worrisome to carry the financial burden of the relationship.

I am sure you have much to offer, to attract love (women) to you...focus on that, and you can bet she will too.

RE: trial for personal vanity

Lindsey, awesome memories...but one question...why are you wearing sunglasses in most of your pics? Hides your beautiful eyes.

RE: ~~ AT LEAST I DONE IT ~~

Very sadly, some people just have a "toxic" personality, being around them continually raises our blood pressure; it is, like you said, similar to walking on eggshells...the littlest thing can set them off.

I agree that for our own health, if someone is like that in our life, we should avoid as much contact as possible.

Look up "toxic people" or "toxic relationships" for more on this subject.

RE: Narcissistic Supply

Sands, I can't sleep often... when there is a lot on my mind.

I go to the blogs for the chit chat and find myself amazed at the CS "reality show" going on 24 hours non-stop. . I mean, we are all adults and it is like a children's playground sometimes.

If this is the example being set for them, can't blame them for how they grow up.

Hope you're doing fine.

RE: Are you what you drive?

If you can't afford the car you really want, then you AREN'T what you drive.

If you can buy the one you desire, it DOES reflect your personality.

That quote should be amended, lol.

RE: Narcissistic Supply

Usha...

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. - Viktor E. Frankl



Great quote. Thank you.

RE: do love a biker chic...

cute...looks like she's having trouble getting a leg over.

RE: Just posting to remind you, that I know you are

I really like you buttery, but sometimes I don't understand a word you say...

RE: Make the most of it...

I didn't post, but I did find it very sad.

We just never know when our time will come. There may be no warning at all.

Who would suspect back pain was cancer? Many have back pain, it's a common problem.

I remember when my Dad died. That night he seemed fine, said his goodnight's to all, and went to bed as usual. Later that evening my mom heard a strange noise and went to check on him. Nothing was in disarray; there didn't appear to be a struggle. Just a noise that got her attention. He was gone.

Every moment of life we have is pure gift. And no, we shouldn't be spending it in mean and negative ways. The wisdom of the ages.



For those who like Elvis:

RE: Actors you think were already dead....

For the curious, it is Gene Wilder, and he is 82 in the left part of the picture. He starred in Willa Wonka and the Chocolate Factory 44 years ago (picture on the right).

I am sure Ian knows this, just added for informational purposes.

Aging is not for sissies. Or something like that.

RE: Actors you think were already dead....

Wow. Now that I didn't expect. Don't even recognize him, unless you look really closely.

RE: MUSIC LEGEND PRINCE DEAD AT 57

How could you just leave me standing
Alone in the world that's so cold
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father - too bold

Maybe you're just my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like - when doves cry.

RE: MUSIC LEGEND PRINCE DEAD AT 57

I was surprised to hear he was 57. Died from flu? Said they are having autopsy tomorrow, to investigate cause of death. Read he visited the pharmacy (I believed Walmart) four or so times right before his death.

I didn't like all of his music, but there two or three that stood out (the earlier ones, as already mentioned). When Doves Cry would probably be my fav.

RE: What To Expect When One Is "Menopausing" ?

By the way, the grandpa who keeps hitting on the much younger babes will probably go home lonely. Most young women don't want to date someone that much older. They don't look at the 72 year old man sitting at the bar stool and want a date...unless maybe he is Hugh Hefner and even then they'd probably hesitate.

RE: What To Expect When One Is "Menopausing" ?

@zmountaineer


Never read a list of symptoms! You'll have cause to worry.

RE: What To Expect When One Is "Menopausing" ?

Ch, I hardly noticed it at all, just a few sweating incidents, and soon it was over.

I think it differs with each woman.

RE: What To Expect When One Is "Menopausing" ?

Sands, what blog was that where Pedaler commented the fun stuff? I could use some more laughs. I suspect I know though...

RE: Men ?

@calypso
If you want a man with oodles of intelligence.....then surely you need to have noodles of intelligence yourself.

RE: Men ?

Wow. Interesting blog.

But I predict it will be deleted soon or much of the comments.

Snook, I also don't understand why your "best friend who is also great in bed" is not your type.

But I agree with you that you are different. That is one reason why you are one of the most entertaining bloggers on CS.

To address your blog topic, if a man is attracted to a woman, naturally he will want to take it to "another level". But that doesn't mean he doesn't care about having a relationship or finding someone to share life with.

There are many men in long lasting relationships, as Ish said. But it is kinda hard finding one we have chemistry with and compatibility in all the important areas (intelligence, interests, values, etc.) I've only met a few in my life, but then, I'm kinda strange myself. lol.

RE: How can I feel better ?

I remember crawling on the floor in pain over a heartbreak. Never again.

Somehow I think this guy, if given the chance, if not repentant and realizing how he was wrong, will only hurt you again.

You have contacted him way too much. Let him contact you now, and then decide how you want to respond. Think first though, don't just respond.

You WILL feel better. You just got hit in the stomach. Take good care of you.

RE: Broken hearted

@ Calleis
Or you could keep on using CrazyHeart's phrase: "Hey, you're going through an inner battle!"

Rn't we all?
