I hope the course is going well though and is there no-one else on the course you can see about doing something, like going to the local pub or that?? Maybe even a tutor might help??
Hi AJ, its not easy to answer, as there are many could be many reasons, e.g. things not working out how you foresaw when you initially left; or that you have not yet settled down with someone & started a family.. I'd maybe give it a bit of time to re-evaluate where you would like to see yourself going and then, hopefully achieve it.. No matter what, keep hold of your hat..
No problem Bain, though remember she is young, but am pretty sure will learn fast.. though I wouldn't say she is putting men down, we are just not for her.. And Neuro, if you really, really feel that way, its amazing what surgery can accomplish!! Have a great weekend..
Sorry Mr Blain, but she has just as much right to be here as anyone else, no matter what her preference is...and you must be aware that all the females on here usually receive all types of contact from men on a daily basis, without reading the persons profile first either, and as you point out, there are many who get annoyed in not finding what they seek sooner and they often say they will leave, or at times refer to suicidal feelings, which is sad to see.. I do agree that there may be sites that offer her more choice and would certainly advise not to only use this place alone as looking around your own town can often be best for some.. Good luck Emi..
Many thanks GotitAll as your a good un as well, or are you saying that cause I've worn a kilt in the past!! Hope you sort it out FreeFalling and some pretty good musinc there, but no Annie Lennox..
No problem SA as I am sure your a great person & your user name obviously shows your humerous side.. We all have to start somewhere on the site to get noticed.. Only thing I'd add is that if you're making a joke, maybe use the emoticons to emphasis it more.. Great to see your team won Unfortunatly my footie team lost.. Best of luck with the site and see you around the forums..
Hi Giovy & Yes, for when all is said and done, the truth is all that is left.. though the only one I am not keen on is the 3rd last one.. Maybe because I am named after a Saint..

Very good advice, however if one can afford them do try Leica as the quality of the glass is outstanding & one of the best for wildlife Maybe one day I will own a pair..
Welcome George & enjoys CS, however, to increase your expanding intelligence, when typing in capitals on-line it is equivalent to shouting.. Best of luck in your continuing success..
Nobody should change anything as that is what makes each of us unique.. The only exceptions would be if we want to change something about ourselves or if it is recommended for our overall well being.. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday Swan..
Hi Turtle, Welcome to CS & nice to see your photos. I like the hobby myself, though not done anything serious in a while.. Anyway, hope you don;t mind but thought I'd give you some feedback on them, though I am no expert:
Goodspirit - There is nothing really to catch the eye here & seems a pretty flat day, (ideal for flowers with soft even lighting), though you could try making it B+W, something/someone on the path would have added more interest..
Smalltown: I find the central tree too dark, though printing it as a negative may make a difference & possibly crop a bit of the bottom..
Subject: Nice shot, but I'd definitely crop it just below the '23' as I find the jeans & field a distraction.. Not sure what relevance the basketball has, but otherwise its good.
Family: Really nice shot & wouldn't change it, though maybe try same thing with oval shape.. Also, Tiff, this is a Sepia effect & am pretty sure most photo edit tools, (Photoshop, etc), provide this & even go further with scratches added also.. Even a lot cameras & phones have it as an instant option also.
Youth Portrait: This is my favourite it is perfect as it captures that 1920/30's feel perfectly.
Flowers 1: Lovely photo, but I'd crop the sides off as the other stems & flower in background on the right lead my eye away & think this would make a bigger impact.
Flowers 2: It is nice, but could impact more by cropping away the black background on the left & top.
Flowers 3: Another lovely shot & idea with the coloured flowers is a great touch, but I think you have done too many. I'd suggest you try it only with the 3 central buds & maybe also try cropping in closer to them.
Hunting Buddies: Good photo, but taken near mid-day as light is a bit harsh & coming onto the wrong side of the dogs.. Best time for portraits is early morning or late evening, which I'm sure you know, though nothing says you can't break the rules.
Abstract Fire: Really cool effect & I wouldn't change it, it just Works!! Only improvement would be in getting the cat to look at the lens, but is far easier said than done!!
Blue Bird: Another cracking photo, though I'd like to see it enlarged a bit more & also crop the top & bottom away as it distracts the eye, and if you can, maybe try using the Blur tool on the trees behind to further emphasis speed, but don;t go overboard as it will not look natural..
Thank you again for sharing them & I might get back into it myself after September..
Love needs no explanation, as when it happens, one knows!! But, (yes, there is always a but ), whether one can make it happen is an entirely different matter as we each have our preferences as well as life throwing up other unforeseen obstacles.. Though one is ever hopeful in this life!!
Hi Drea, I do not think we lose that creative spark, we just have other things in our lives that take up our concentration.. To re-light that spark, I'd go back to what makes you not only happy but also inspires you, be it art, poetry, music, nature, or a combination of things... Am sure you will bounce back soon..
Dondadda, I'm not sure how long you have been here, but you are not the first man to query this.. First off, women receive far more mail than men do, and due to that, it can take a while for them to read and respond to them. As to why they do not respond, to put it simply, they do not find you attractive. The reason for not replying is that many did initially respond to men saying they were not interested, however, this resulted in them then receiving abusive messages, and because of these low-life's, women, quite understandably, keep there distance with those the are not interested in (remember, lots will log-off site to read your profile, so you have no real knowledge who is viewing you). The only exceptions would be those they know more about on the forums... As for Smitten, you should read her profile, for she has already met someone.. And no, it is not me, though I have also met someone here.. so do not lose hope, but you do have to learn to not expect a reply from every message you send and try not to take it personally.. Have a great week..
Very good post Drea, though for the UK it is the 70th Anniversary of the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk in 1940, where over 100 small boats were used to save 338'000 lives were saved, French & British... I salute them all For more details see:
Hope those 44 pages are double-sided.. Well done you , I have enough trouble trying to write eight single pages. Thankfully, god, and my tutors, love a trier
In an ideal world, in my partner's arms, for they mean more to me than the rest of the world However, we just do not know what is round the corner, so I'll keep on concentrating on the 6 million plus ways to Live!! Yep, it's another night in front of the tv/pc screen
Are you sure you're not in Seattle or is Mumbai it's twin?? Anyway, be positive, for day-dreaming is far better as we are in control of those and can vary them between as to what takes our mood, however the sleeping ones, well, sometimes what begins a dream can turn into a nightmare Mind you, is that the subconscious giving a sign of your current stage in life Getting too deep now, but maybe sleep on it for now
RE: ok im bored !!!!
