RE: WHAT DO U THINK IS THE PURPOSE OF LIFE

You either live for yourself or for a purpose greater than yourself.

Egocentricity never solved any of the world's problems, only contributed to them.

I highly doubt we have more than one life; we have trouble with only one of them.

RE: My Shirt

lol, lol, lol... I shouldn't laugh but this is the funniest blog I've seen all day...of course the site was down a lot of the day....

RE: Not feeling the love....

CS posted a notice today, explaining that the site was down for maintenance due to an upgrade, and that could have effected your data. There are often glitches whenever technical upgrades take place...things will be back to normal soon if they aren't already!

RE: a doze for Heart

He mows the lawn carefully too.

RE: am i guilty?

Well, that line is often used to break off with someone, "you deserve better than me," and since no one here really knows you or what happened with your boyfriends, all that can be posted here are guesses.

You are very beautiful, and some men may feel insecure and jealous, so you need a man who is confident in himself and secure in your love, not minding all the competition.

Somehow I also get the vibe that you need to come into your own independence...a strong woman in your own right. Your profile mentions standing under another's light...men like to be adored but they also want a partner. You are only 20 and all relationships are learning experiences...be happy in yourself and you will draw the right people to you.

RE: The Human Condition! (the way i see it)

Such wisdom is one so young. :)

RE: a taste of the novel I'm attempting to write.

I try to put myself in the shoes of the reader. Are you pulling them into the story, or is their mind wandering?

I don't know if you have any reference books on hand, but I would hone the craft of writing the lead, or introductory paragraph of the story. Decide what type of introduction you want your novel to have.

There are many ways to lead into a story. Deciding on how you want to do it is all part of the fun. I'm no writing teacher...just someone who loves the written word.

RE: a taste of the novel I'm attempting to write.

I meant the part about her name...I shouldn't hit the "submit" button so quickly...guess I'm tired...it's midnight here.

RE: a taste of the novel I'm attempting to write.

Ah! You should say that, then. In the beginning, when introducing the character. It's a nice touch.

RE: I am plain frustrated!

When men have big chips on their shoulder regarding women you wonder how anyone can get past their bitterness.

Obviously you had a bad experience but try to let it go, don't carry it into your next one. Easier said than done I know, but accusing women of being shallow and ridiculing their desires is offputting.

How can you make a sweeping claim that all women in America lack good values and will not accept a man? Obviously they are accepting them, because last I knew marriages were still being performed.

I don't mean to be harsh but put down the sword and pick up the roses. It would be wrong to give up hope, because there ARE nice women out there...you just need to meet them and have a smile on your face when you do. If they start to berate you then they can't date you. Simple as that, really....unless you are trying to date a diva with that car you driva.

RE: I have temporarily lost my Mojo

There was a dog named CUJO. Don't let him get your MOJO.

RE: I have temporarily lost my Mojo

Drea...it's funny what you said about books. I have tons of them, and many of them I only read parts of, lol.

RE: PLEASE HELP ME...TO HELP HIM...

I knew a man who was an alcoholic many many years ago.
He still is.

There is nothing we can do to change them, no matter how kind, loving, and supportive we are. As others here said, they have to take the hand of change themselves and not just talk about it or say how sorry they are.

I know, I KNOW that they would be so wonderful if only they didn't drink, BUT THEY DO, and it causes all kinds of problems and suffering, especially in the intimacy area.

Unless he takes action himself, I wouldn't hope for him to stop drinking any time soon, and it will impact your life because you will be dragged along with it.

Take good care of you because sadly he won't until he is free.

RE: I have temporarily lost my Mojo

Very interesting topic. Of course people can make the usual jokes about it, but retaining our individuality is terribly important. It's so easy to get lost in the sea of everyday living and flowing with the crowd until you forget what is you and what you have taken in from everyone else.

The best thing for me is quiet time. You shut out all distractions, all sounds, everything that would take your mind away from your focus, which is getting in touch with your inner self. This can very difficult to do, and many people give up on the exercise. Journaling your thoughts at this time can be very helpful, but you have to give yourself the freedom to express what is so often is pushed down and silenced by the world's continuous noise and activity. We are so programmed that it is refreshing to just let ourselves be without criticism, judgement or censure. That is really where all true inspiration comes.

RE: what was up with this guy??

What was wrong with him? Apparently a few issues that you could not have fixed, so you did the right thing.

We sometimes look back at failed relationships and wonder just what went wrong. But if you had married this guy you would only be digging in deeper with more difficulty getting out.

One of the biggest lessons we learn in life is we can't fix people...the change has to come from them and may be a long time in coming, if ever.

RE: Vanity Fair and City III (55)

Many love songs center on how much we love another, and will until the end of time. But you have made a good point..."The only thing certain is change." - Socrates

There is only one definite constant in life - the unending cycle of change. Yes, time brings a lot of change to the world and to the people around us. Things that seem so terribly important and vibrant to us now in time change to just a memory. Words like always, never, and other absolutes tagged to our feelings are usually more fancy than fact; i.e., I will always love you (in the case of a romantic partner).

One thing I can be certain of is someone will ask me for change when I leave the supermarket. But that is another topic... :)

RE: PSYCHOLOGICAL WAR FARE IN THE CORE OF THE FIRE B

Are you a minister of some sort?

RE: A Journal Of A Traveller Down Life's Road

Very nicely put. Looking back now you can use the pain from your loss and let it build, not break you. You are a different person now than you would have been had you not gone through it.

RE: Osteoarthritis

I didn't recommend the drugs...I was talking about inflammation in the body and treating it as an underlying cause with diet.

I have heard about Reflexology, just haven't tried it. Good info.

RE: Osteoarthritis

Get a blood check for body inflammation levels. Many doctors aren't into nutritional therapies and prefer to recommend drugs, but more and more information is coming out inflammation and its part in illnesses, including arthritis. A kind person on this site reminded me of this point...you can take drugs to reduce the inflammation (they can have bad side effects), or you can try an anti-inflammatory diet. Look into it. Arthritis often gets worse if the underlying issues aren't treated.

RE: Ugh!!

Men are individuals, just as women. I believe there are good ones out there. Maybe it is your age group...a lot of guys just haven't grown up yet. Because it has to do with that, really.

RE: Lets not forget the meaning of Memorial Day

Good point.

Most of us know what Memorial Day is commemorating, but still view it as a day of vacation and "good times"....a party day if you will.

Kind of strange...to "celebrate" the passing of heroic young men who put their lives on the line and died for our great country.

RE: WAS sigmond freud an idiot

I agree that he did have some insights. I've always been fond of Freudian slips.

RE: what machine i m using for make handbags

You should put the size dimensions. You can't really tell from a picture when the product stands alone.

I remember buying a purse once online from a catalogue. It looked like just the right size! When it was delivered, it shrunk to something that would only carry my wallet and keys. I always look at the product size now as photos are often magnified.

RE: WHAT I HAVE LEARNED IN LIFE

So in other words, you are saying all girls are bad. I don't think so, but everyone will always have their own opinion. :)

RE: Computer Problems... TRUE!!!!!

I've seen jokes like this before. :) Very funny.

I do have a question though about this particular one. If it's a true story, and it all happened on the telephone, how did the WordPerfect customer service employee know that the caller "spelled" C: Prompt sea-prompt?

RE: my new handbag design

hey dray :). I asked the price before but so far no response...if they are like Prada I'd say nada, lol.

RE: my new handbag design

Question repeat: Are any for sale?

RE: my new handbag design

How much are they?

You can easily set up a store on Yahoo or Ebay and take some preliminary orders. It would be a good idea to set up a storefront on the Internet anyway...you'll have much more exposure and sales.





I hope I get a discount for these tips, lol!

RE: To be happy with a man and woman

Isn't that Ms. Parissa Hiltonetta Snootenmyer's dog, Fredrico? He's slumming today...usually wears a suit.
