I'd stay away from any woman that harboured such feelings, even if they were only threats. Life too short to live with an insecure psychotic with violent tendencies.
I was born in the year of the Dog, just so you know.
I understand what you're saying, and there are people that do get Brit/Canuck humour, and sometimes even mine.
There will always be issues, as well as learning experiences, no matter where the two people are from. I'd just like to see people be a little more open minded about the idea, and take the chance.
Walking out the door and slipping on the ice can ruin your life too, but that doesn't mean you should never leave the house. I have had many bad experiences with that.
Take the chance, or don't, it's that simple, but there's no reason to live in fear or "what if's". Life's just too short for that.
Yes, I do believe that two people living in different countries, and even from different cultures, can have a successful relationship.
You'll find people saying no, or sharing their crappy experiences, but don't let that deter you. Those sorts of experiences can happen even with someone living right down the street.
There are always those that will whine and snivel about their misfortune, and usually blame it on the other person.
If you meet someone you like, try it, or don't, the choice is your's.
We drive at posted speed limits on glare ice with snow on top all the time, no problems. Salt doesn't do a damn thing once it gets down to a certain temperature, and sanding has a limited effect, depending on the amount of snow falling.
People should drive appropriately according to road conditions, and learn how to handle their vehicle on ice and snow before venturing out and possibly getting into an crash. If you're not comfortable with it, please use public transport, walk, or stay home.
we have plenty of snow on the grouns already, and only another 5 months of it left to go.
Not usually, unless it's extremely cold, but ice can wreak havoc with their paws when it gets stuffed in between the pads. Snow isn't generally a problem though, being soft.
If you're out in extreme temps, there are lil' booties available, if you figure you can get your dog to wear them without a fight, or eating them.
Mine wasn't bad for barking, but my dad's Elkhound was for a while. He's better now though, and only barks if there's a reason, like a Magpie stealing his food.
One thing to remember about bedding, it should be either straw, or purpose made blankets or pads, not the stuff you'd use yourself. When a dog is laying on a blanket, they build up heat and perspire, and if there's nothing to wick away that sweat, it will freeze when they get off. That makes for a very uncomfortable and cold bed to sleep in, not to mention the possibility of freezing your dog's hide.
Depends on the dog, shorter haired dogs might feeze to death without any sort of protection from the elements, whereas long haired ones might be fine.
My Elkhound was outdoors 24/7, 365 days of the year, right down to -50, and wouldn't come in the house no matter what. If you even tried to get him inside, you'd get bit, and the same thing for my dad's Elkhound.
Withe the cold you get in Ireland, almost any dog will be fine outdoors, so long as they have an insulated doghouse, or somewhere warmish they can get out of the cold.
The only "perfect match" is of the waterproof, strike anywhere kind, anything else is always going to be give and take.
I guess I'd better stop talking to women altogether, just in case one of those "moments" presents itself. It could be disasterous, if one doesn't feel 100% exactly the same way about the other at every moment in time.
Geeze, nothing like a bit of negativity and guilt tripping to set the mood.
Does make you wonder if some replies on threads are from a place of jealousy and insecurities, of things they can't be free enough to enjoy themselves.
Don't anyone go out and try enjoy life now, it's bad for you!
RE: Adult Toys
That's so limited.
