I am independent but doesn't mean I have bad manners. My independence just means I don't have to be at the mercy of any man for support like my mother and sister did as I can earn my own way in the world. I just want the right to live my life as I please. This shouldn't upset a man and if it does, he can leave at any time.
From what I read; the world as we see it is supposed to end but we will keep on living. There are supposed to be major disasters worse than what we are experiencing now which will indeed change the appearance of the earth. Guess we will know in two years.
I too am sorry that you got attacked and I do hope your mom is better. Some rather nasty folks on these threads. Live your life with great happiness and forgot about the jerks that hurt you on this site.
I can understand that. I have constant pain in my knees but very thankful I am up and walking. Still loving life to the fullest and I hope you are too.
I have to disagree as some of us from the older generation have already broken away from the norms like myself serving on a comabat ship. Okay, I am not old; just seasoned.
You can find joy in many things in life and it doesn't have to be love for a partner. You can find the pure joy of loving life. Trust me when you come close to losing your life so many times, love is the least of my concerns. I can't think back on any relationship that I ever had that has given me joy but sure has given me lots of headaches. My fondest memories was spending time traveling and exploring by myself. I think to each his own. If one has to be in love to feel complete, then by all means go out and seek it. There is just so much more to life than being tied down to one person merely for the sake of love.
Thanks I appreciate your kindness. I just consider myself so lucky; others are not so lucky. The Children's hospital is indeed a wonderful cause. If I can't do my bike marathon, I can still help with the homeless and I can just up my daily cycling but going back and forth to work.
Thanks for the kind words. Almost 100%; that is impresseive. I will route for you for your 5 km run. I had a taxi cab run over the back of my ankle back in 1996 so I can sympathize with a painful ankle. That one took me about 2 years to recover. I want to try the MS bicycle for ride which is 180 kms for two days. Just don't know if I can be in town for it as I am always out of town for another event to do with my sewing business.
That I understand. I just wanted to minimize it as I couldn't even get up from a chair. I have very slight chronic pain in my knees but my back and neck seemt to be fine. I find working out really helps with the pain.
In 2003, had a serious car accident. Had 2 slipped discs, ripped all muscles in my neck, and all the way down my back. I also had an ACL knee injury in both knees that temporarily crippled me. After a year of therapy, the doctor said I wouldn't recover enough to walk without a cane due to the injury plus my age and I would have chronic back and neck pain. I couldn't accept that so slowly started exercising with the total gymn. It was horribly painful but kept at it. It took me 4 years to recover and a year to lose about 40 pounds. I have completely changed my habit of eating, cut back on alchol, and get up at 5:00am to work out. I am 90% better and no cane. I even cycle up to 20 kms every day. My doctor was shocked that I recovered and I had no support from anyone to keep fighting. So has anyone else had an experience like this? How did you cope? Did you have any support? I would really to hear from others how you coped.
Is this the first date or a first meeting? First meeting would be a coffee, but an actual date dinner so we could talk and still be a safe place to meet.
