I am willing to compromise on somethings but if it is something I think will bother me in the long run why try to fit a square peg in a round hole. I agree with a couple of different posters here. I agree with jeeps that if it is the right person watch how fast one is willing to compromise and the post about chemistry. Sorry cannot remember the posters name. Chemistry is important. In my opinion if you compromise to much you can lose yourself. So basically it is what is one willing to compromise with.
Excuse me Are those two maine coons you are holding per chance? They look lovely.
There are different kinds of love. I can tell a friend I love them.....no problem.....my sister.....my children....etc....but just let me even start to feel the love between a man and a woman I get short of breath feel like the walls are falling down around me.....and want to run like the wind
I'll stop here or I will run off and leave my computer. It is difficult. And I think with me it is all fear based.
Long story .....but if I found someone I was interested in and they asked I would go to see if there was anything there Now people that know me could give you a hundred reasons they think I don't date
If that is the worse part of being single for you then you got it made. Many ways to take care of that For me I think back to the first time I actually realized I was single. It was almost three years ago I had received a pay raise at work. As I exited in the building my happiness all of a sudden changed to saddness. I realized I had no special person to share this exciting news with. I had no partner to share lifes journey with. I could of call the children but not the same as the one person who is on the same journey as you. I am given reminders daily that I am alone. But that is ok. There is still much joy to be had in life. I am alone not lonely.
Then I myself would think the offending party is the one with the problem. And go about my merry way. As we all know from the infamous play........... From Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, 1600:
JULIET: 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, And for that name which is no part of thee Take all myself.
So we are back at sticks and stones. Words only have meaning if the person allows them too. If you call me beautiful I choose to believe you But if you say my face reminds you of a sharpei I am going to see you as the one with the problem. My choice So complex is the human mind. I know you hate long post. Sorry I am long winded I guess But yet I continue I am woman So it is up to the individuals to decide for themselfs if they see offense or not. Such as some of your thread titles. Some would see them as a good topic of discussion some would see them as offensive. Some I have not entered because of the title. Why lie But I am learning after entering and reading some may offer a chance to learn how others perceive things in life and that leaves me better educated. Just my way of looking at things. And some the bickering keeps me away. No offense intended to anyone. Just me. I do not have to comment on or read every thread Now I will not bother you anymore in this thread with my thoughts and opinions. (If I can control me self) I think it is pretty clear how I feel on the topic of sticks and stones.
I think words can be harmfull. Some people get their feelings hurt easier than others. There is nothing wrong with that. Maybe they are just having a bad day...maybe they are going through something and just can't take anymore of lifes thorns Also I believe words from a stranger can hurt. I really think it is how the words are used and to whom...with me for instance sitting in a hospital waiting room and a nurse I have never seen before comes in and tells me I will not be taking my husband home. Those words hurt me very much...the pain I felt was like none I have ever felt before As you mentioned about the bombs on women and children I imagine some where a long the line words were used to get it to that point. Name calling is silly.... Sadly hurt pain it is all a part of living. I prioritize in my life. So it takes alot to get to my list of this is really really life defying important. And yes the thought of bombs being dropped on anyone saddens me.
That would surely be a project getting email for the forum post....I have kept my mailbox closed for a while and opened it about a month ago. It gets intimadating the amount of emails one can receive on here I must look at my settings and see what I can see
I for one have noticed I am getting email notices when someone comments on my poems. I would like to thank you for this feature. It actually makes me feel good to know someone has read my poem and left a comment. Also you have started leaving the corresponding parties names with the email notification for mail and poet comments. Thank you for this new feature. At least new to me I have never noticed it before. Keep up the good work
When you are down my way let me know there will be a place for you at my table..... Bet he has run off to get food. No pork for me today. Bought large shrimp whilst I was out and am going to make a scampi for the evening. Maybe I should run back to the market and get the makings for frozen peach daquiris. That would make a nice new years sit around the house and sip drink....
You would love my lemon cake It is coconut lemon cake with a light creame cheese filling. It does not have a cheesy taste but everyone loves it. Also I make a banana cake with a milk chocolate frosting that is good. I bake but am not big into eating alot of sweets. That is why the keylime is meeting its end the sad way it is. I should of taken it to work with me yesterday and given it away The bar b que pork does sound good. Heading out. Have a great weekend. And a Happy New Year
I look girlie does that count Not cooking staying home resting this weekend after the christmas crowd rushed in devoured and messed up stuff. Good to see them come good to see them go. But a pig roast does sound good You do appear hungry this morning. Makes me feel bad I am throwing half a keylime pie away this morning. I have eaten it for three days and am tired of it. Now I feel guilty. You most likely don't likt keylime.
The answer is very simple it is because this is who they are attracted to. Thank you for realizing it is some women not all women. But everyone has preferences. I myself would like a good man. But some women just like to take that bumpy road. And as we say here in the south " God Bless their little hearts". Also my friend it is not that you are being attacked for speaking what you see as the truth it is how you are saying it that is so offensive to others. Behind these computer screens are real people. If this is how you talk in every day life then you will have a tendacy to draw a rougher crowd of people to you. The good ones smile and nod and try to find a polite way to remove themselves from you. Not to be offensive maybe a comunications course at your local learning center would be good. I have taken one. So I can be nice when needed but I also still have the southern red neck in me that keeps me tough. I can let her out when need be.
Good article. I read it went outside and checked under the rock. There was a long metal shaft going into the ground. It was either the cia trying to steal my cooking recipes or the well that dried up so I covered it with a large rock. Merry Christmas Conrad
I have never worked for a job that has a union. I think here it is different than where you are. You would have to ask someone more knowledgeable than me about unions. I do get the feeling unions are not as popular in my area as they once were. I actually feel like over here the controlling groups are the big corporations. And most of them seem not to want unions in. Bet you can figure out why they don't want them in
As far as I know it is legal. In the U.S. labor laws can vary from state to state. Florida is one of the worse for its work force in my opinion. You can be worked a ten hour day and not get a break. Here a break is considered a gift from your employer. I have worked many ten hour days a physical job with only one fifteen minute break and a twenty five minute lunch. Most places do give at least two fifteen minute breaks an eight hour shift. They can also fire you without having to give you a reason why which I do not think is right. Because you can never know if you were discriminated against or not. I have not been fired before but most people have told me they are usually given the reason why. Where I work at it is difficult work and all but it is a good job so I really can't complain. Their are many that would gladly come fill my position there if I did not want to work there. Hope you have a wonderfull holiday
Where I work at I have two hundred work hours a year to use. They will pay us or buy back eighty hours of it at the beginning of the new year if we have not used it. But the other three weeks are a use it or lose it situation. I feel happy to have any. Some people here have jobs without paid holiday time.
