sure. Maybe I should clarify, as there seems to be some confusion about exactly what I mean. On the singles club I am talking about, a man would have to know ahead of time which profiles he is going to view. In other words, he would have to type in or select "men looking for men" to get to my profile in the first place. So, if he is NOT a man looking for a man, what is he doing in that category? (He had to get there on purpose. It's not like the CS club where one can just arrow another member and go to the profile. Does this help you (any of you) understand the 'gist' of the question now? If you don't want a beefsteak sandwich, don't put a quarter in the beefsteak sandwich slot! get it??

OK. I was ready to throw in the towel, but you did ask a question. Usually I don't answer a question with a question, but this will be the exception:

Why are they viewing a man's profile if they say they don't want to hear from a man? That's the part I don't get. If you aren't interested in men, why are you looking? It's a fair and reasonable question. Just so you know, like my previous post, it's not such a big deal anymore--I just think they're curious about what a man who likes men has to say. SO......they're lying when they say they don't want to know. Cause they're peekin'. Get it?

OK. I'm over it already.

actually, I do too. Don't tell THEM that, though. (it will ruin their good nature, you know. )

Hi everyone, it's just me again. On another club (not CS) i noticed over the past six or seven months quite a few guys checking out my profile, etc... then I go to their profile and it seems they really are not (or SAY they're not) looking for male friendship, companionship. To rub snot into the booger, they can't be "reached" because their profile doesn't "allow" letters from the same gender. So what's up with this? They like to take a peek, see what's out there, but don't want to get caught, or what? Is this some weird sick little game, or what? Is there a word for this behavior? I mean, I'm totally OK with somebody not liking it, and all, but why try to pry open doors, so to speak? Does anybody have any idea what these men are up to? Thanks... (Incidentally, I just revised my profile there to include the statement "No blocked responses" (do not view profile if you are not accepting letters from other guys)".

(Is this in any way something I should not say? Should I go back and delete it? thanx for your responses. ro

RE: Thread Etiquette 101

Love the new pic! (50's Housewife...) You so rad, honey! wait, gotta answer the thread question, I guess. Yes, I agree that if it's gettin' hairy and scary, then don't tarry. The last word thing? Yeah, I see this a lot, seems like a lot of very spoiled folks just can't look at both sides of an issue. I say split if things get nasty.

Too Much Of A Good Thing (??)

hit nail on head.

Too Much Of A Good Thing (??)

There's actually some watch dog groups out there doing some interventions for this very thing. (I always wonder, when the televangelist is crying, pleading for money, how broke can it really be, since air time is now around 2 million per minute. It's the age old question similar to, "If the gypsy can tell fortunes why is she living in a camp trailer down by the river? "

Too Much Of A Good Thing (??)

Thank you, too, you're top shelf, merrilou.

Too Much Of A Good Thing (??)

It sounds to me like you do get it. Thanks. (I was a little confused because the site you sent me to was like, WAY fundamentalist--exactly the sort of thing I was trying to get across. Hmmmm....but your letter indicates you fully understand the compulsion, too. Unless I hear otherwise, I will take this as you acknowledging that even though spirituality is a very good thing, it can be an addiction, which is what I was trying to say. Thanx. (BTW asking my friend in another thread for her input was not a "put-down". If it came across that way, I apologize, but you know, I'm rather tired of having to walk on eggshells in this forum thing. Takes the fun out of it. Thanx for your response.

Too Much Of A Good Thing (??)

Interesting. You used the word "fanatic". That's certainly one way of putting it. Thanks for the note. Now, I don't see anything wrong with being involved with church activities, just wondering if some don't really go overboard. Life needs good balance, that's what I meant about too much of a good thing.








do I get out of the doghouse yet, merrilou? Hey I know--"Hello Mary Lou, good bye heart"!

RE: Bored

Oh don't take it like that! It wasn't personal! Besides, I said some nice things to you!

RE: Bored

temporary thread hi-jack! Amity, could you go to the thread I started "Too Much Of A Good Thing" and read it, give it a whirl. (seems like some are just not understanding the idea...thanx honey. you're a lovie dovie!

Too Much Of A Good Thing (??)

Perhaps it is better to refer you to a link wherein your eyes may be opened; when speaking about "Church"
[/quote
that is not what the question was about.

Too Much Of A Good Thing (??)

This is not what the thread was about. The question was, can this be an addiction, a compulsion, much like being a work a holic, or being a pack rat, etc... Of course it is perfectly OK to pray for a sick friend, etc... you are missing the spirit of the question. It is not about "not believing". It is about this becoming too consuming. yes? or no?..thanks

Too Much Of A Good Thing (??)

Hi everyone. I'm waiting for some feedback from a friend in the city about this--in the meantime I'd like to get some thoughts, opinions, ramblings, whatever, from you. Do you think that some religious people develop a compulsion, or even emotional addiction, to going to church, and all the extra-curricular activities churches sometimes offer? The reason for the question is that I have known quite a few people, usually in "fundamentalist" type churches, who rush to every talk, Bible study, adult discussion group, trauma intervention group, etc...and they have endless "prayer lists" on their fridge or dresser top ranging in every possible human challenge, great and small. (i.e.--praying for a friend's third cousin's college roommate's step mom who just had day surgery for an ingrown toenail, or some such jibberish). Not to sound sarcastic or cynical, but it seems in some churches if you're not having enough negative events going on, why you're just not doing it right! best, and thanx for whatever reviews and replies you have-

RE: Do you live in a

Hi Ali--interesting post. I guess Coos Bay would be considered a "city", but of course not like a metropolitan city. In Oregon we don't really use the term "village" (but I would say we do have them). In some parts of the U.S. the term "parish" is used, archaic and not surprisingly church-attached, also we say "Star Route" for a town or district that is too small to have actual addresses--i.e. when I was a small boy living in the country our address was "West Cape Franklin Road, Star Route 4, Whatever, OR. (get it?) The term "Square" is used for an established town, also "Range". (I thought for many years "Range" denoted a large ranch spread. It CAN, but the original meaning was a settlement of (I am possibly not quite accurate, but the idea is here) say, 160 residential lots by 160 residential lots- "R F D" is still used to denote a settlement outside of a small town. It means "Rural Fire District". In more recent times, these have been often called "Unincorporated towns".
Back east there are at least four areas called "Farmsteads", also an even older and sometimes, but really seldom used term is "Grange".

RE: who is the best oldies artist

Johnny Cash-album "Man In Black" has version of "Ned Kelly". wow, I looked this guy a real Aussie folk-hero-up, what a story. Poor booger was hanged, though. He was quite a character. Thank you for your time with this, OObs,

RE: who is the best oldies artist

Thanx. Google Johnny Limbo and the Lugnuts and have a quick look. They're neat.

RE: who is the best oldies artist

Have you ever heard of "Johnny Limbo And The Lugnuts"? You would love, love, love this group. They're from here (Portland, I believe) but have toured extensively. (They're 'Greasers', white socks, black shoes, rolled cuffs on their jeans, t-shirts, leather jacket and/or bowling shirt, you know the drill.....great music from be-bop to hard rock.

wrong clip, Ali. Read his later post that gives the correct link.

RE: How to get back at a telemarketer call

Loved it. That really made my day. Thanks. yup, a lot of us are fed up with solicitation. Boy, they don't give up easy, either.

RE: who is the best oldies artist

This may be a bit of a stretch, but since there's nobody from Oz here, I'll ask you. (I have faith in the intelligence of British ladies). There is an australian song about a "Robin-Hood" type bandit named "Ned Kelly". I can't find any versions here, although some other folk song enthusiasts have heard of it. Can ya help me, lass? Thanx

Hi Amity--Loves ya!

RE: How much do you want to know...

thanx honey.

RE: How much do you want to know...

Right on. This kind of thing is just crap.

RE: How much do you want to know...

I can dig this. A valid thought, as well! See, everyone brings something to the table here! (I liked this one. Gotta think it over, though!) Fair is fair..........
