That is such a lovely letter Shaunita, thanks for sharing it with us..... You and your daughter have a wonderful relationship as I do with my children, and may I add, grandchildren and great children!! I count my blessings every day, and God is good, without him in my life, I wouldn't have got through any of the difficult situations that life presented to me.
Well, you're not still on about the noise of the vuvuzelas now are you? I've actually grown used to them now, and to be quite honest, don't even notice the noise unless someone mentions it.
My goodness, how boring to watch with no noise in the background at all.... thanks, but no thanks.... I'll stick with the vuvuzelas.... If you were concentrating on the matches more, you wouldn't even notice the sound!!
I think the atmosphere has been absolutely amazing!!! Good on you South Africa!!!
Not all, in fact I think it's a beautiful gesture.... It is obviously very important to you to be a father and raise that child with love, as you have not experienced since you never knew your father!!
You don't particularly have to find a woman who is pregnant, first meet someone, fall in love, then you can always start a family together!!
Always remember though, there could very likely be circumstances regarding the child's biological father, who may well decide to come back on to the scene at any time, once you have really begun to love that child as your own.....It is not always an easy situation!!!
Good Luck, I think the lady you fall for, will be very lucky!
I find your blog to be most inspiring... you sound quite an amazing person!!! I wish you all the best and congratulate you on meeting your soul-mate.... you're right in saying, what you give out you get back.... You deserve to have found her, and she is just as fortunate to have found someone like you!!
Beautifuly written Murny, it so true, contrary to what some people choose to believe..... it is so amusing how many people are frightened of the truth!!!!
You are right in saying, the world certainly would be a better place to live in, if more people loved and respected others!
To Mike3478 What history books do you read Mike? They're certainly misleading you big time!!!!! As you say though... ignorance is bliss!!! Until you're sure of what you're saying.... rather don't join in!!! and if if you must. then start your comment by saying these words.."IN MY OPINION".... because that would be more acceptable to people... everyone has freedom of choice to believe what they like.... just cut the sarcasm and rudeness!!
It's no different on here than anywhere out there in the world.... there are cons wherever you go... you just have to be vigilant and try to suss them out before they catch you!! There are also many genuine people around.... you just have to recognise the signs!!
Hello Joseph, actually, meeting people on the internet can be a great thing.... especially for people who are perhaps bedridden, or for various reasons are confined to their homes, because of their age..... or any other reasons really!!
We must remember here, that it is no different to meeting people in a pub or anywhere else, as far as them pulling the wool over your eyes, or misleading you in any way.... it happens all the time!!
It is a real cyberworld we live in, but you can't pretend 100% of the time... you would only have to slip up for a moment, cracks will start to appear and eventually your lies will be revealed!!!
I would recommend you talk and get to know people first before rushing to meet them.....if they get tired of chatting and disappear, they wanted to meet you for the wrong reasons, and if they're genuine, they'll wait to meet you!!
Well, the woman is more important, I'm surprised you didn't know that!!! lol No, seriously..... you are both equal... neither is more important than the other, both need to respect each other, that way perhaps more people would have lasting relationships!
It will last I am sure!!!! It is pretty amazing how, when we really need South Africa to come through for us, not only do they not let us down, but they do us proud!!
I am as proud as you are.. believe me, it is by far not the only country that is dangerous and anyone who believes that, is fooling themselves, but you know what..... you'll go a long way to find people who have such optimism, strength, hope and faith... Good on you South Africa!!!
You're quite right, politeness does cost nothing, but it takes all types to make a world.... don't worry, the polite ones far outweigh the rude ones!!!
Keep on writing songs Musicman, and don't ever give up... the sky is the limit... anything is possible!!!! Perhaps we will hear some of your songs on here one of these days!!!
Good topic scottish 1....That is so true, it is okay to dream and have goals you hope to reach one day, but never miss out on today because you're too busy thinking about what you may have tomorrow, or in a few months time...
Never let a day go by without counting your blessings and enjoying it to the full.... it could just be your last!!!
RDM59, you have now totally confused intellow....you could have a point there though, It has been known to happen, someone trying to cover up unpleasant odours!!! But she did say he smelt fresh.... so there you have it.
For me, definitely the guy who is clean and fresh... the potential lover who looked good, would perhaps lure his prey much more quickly, but it wouldn't take long for them to dump him.... after being with him for an hour or so!!!
I can't believe I'm getting into discussions of this nature, I should get out more!!! lol
May I ask why you keep contacting Maltese women, if that's the way you feel about them... perhaps it's just that you don't have the qualities they are looking for!!! Perhaps you should look elsewhere!
Just be yourself, and be a good listener..... women love talking!!!! You'd be surprised how many woman prefer shy men to over arrogant ones... I certainly do!!!
Well, as the saying goes..... "There is someone for everyone", but have you ever thought that perhaps that someone hasn't joined this site!!!!!
Try not to look too hard..... something good always seems to come around when you least expect it.. in my experience anyway! and in the meantime you are making friends....
I wish you all the best, don't lose heart and be positive... it goes a long way!!
Firstly, I don't think many guys exist, with all the qualities you are looking for in a man... I'd like to find one too.... but believe me... They're either not interested in women, or they're taken!!!! If you do find one, let me know where you found him, perhaps there will be another hanging around waiting to be snapped up.... I don't think!!!!! lol
Enjoy it! I'm from Cape Town and only wish I were there for the World Cup, unfortunately I'm not able to make it before the end of December... I believe the vibes are tremendous!!!! Go Bafana Bafana!!!!! make us proud....
Hi there, obviously you are far stronger than you thought..... You have made the right decision to carry on in this life for yourself, as there is still so much happiness still to come your way, and for your children's sake... they love and need you!!!
Someone once said to me, if you ever feel so down that you're ready to give up on life.... just think for a moment and remember the reason you hung on in the first place when things weren't going your way!!
Your marriage was a part of your journey through life, we take many journeys, learn from them and become stronger people.... everything happens for a reason, although it's not always easy to see it that way..... it is a fact!!
I wish you all the best, and hope you find that someone special to share your life with!!
Well Billy Fatwas, at least you know who your friends really are!!! I'd be more worried if I WERE rich, I'd have a hard time trying to sort out who are truly my friends and who are only after my money!!! We obviously don't have that problem....
I love the Irish sense of humour...... you're in military and have probably been in pretty dangerous situations...... and you complain of stubbing your toe on your bunk!!!! lol
I think you ought to complain to a higher source, perhaps they can issue you all with more comfortable beds... we can't have injuries of that sort happening to our soldiers now can we!!!! lol All the best!!
Hi Brad, "Seasonal Affective Disorder".... I like that, it describes exactly how I, and I'm sure a lot of people living in the UK have had a good taste of this winter.
I am a South African, living in the UK... The UK certainly has it's advantages, but I sure miss the gorgeous weather and great outdoor life in SA, which is why I visit for 3 months every year to soak up the sun and enjoy the friendly people. Australia is also one of my favourite countries....It certainly is an eye opener to travel and see how people in different countries live... and it just makes you appreciate your own country so much more!!!
Hi there, very nicely said!!!! Good friends are very important to have... I appreciate my friends so much. A good friend will always be there for you no matter what and will never judge you..... any others you meet along the way are, as you say, all a part of our learning process.
We all have our moments of feeling low, and being hard to handle sometimes, but if someone is not prepared to accept me at my worst, then they sure as hell don't deserve me at my best!!!
To Makis, "Ignorance sure is Bliss"!!!!! I found your blog comment hilarious.... thanks for that... I needed a laugh!!! I would suggest you don't take part in any sort of discussion which you are not well enough informed about.
