I once had a young girl ask me if I knew what pink tasted like. I told her no, but that I could smell blue, and feel brown with my fingers. She gave me a sage smile, said, "Then you know what pink tastes like." And went to blow some other adults mind. My father had gotten to me long before her.
A poem is anything that is written. The difference between prose and poetry is a fine line based on rhythm, tonality, and imagery. Just because it has stanza's doesn't make it poetry, and if its a very powerful, evocative paragraph, its not prose, its poetry in a prose costume.
Some poems do tell stories. Some of them very sad. I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Dawn.
I cant narrow it down into the pigeonholes you have given. Attraction for me is a holistic thing, and its not the girls shape or size or intelligence or emotional maturity that is the determining factor for me, its the whole package and how the go together as a whole...A curvy dumb girl may make me fall in love with her if she's got common sense and a good heart, and a well-build small girl that's really bright may turn my stomach because she may have never grown up emotionally because she's all that and hasn't had to. Blech!
Now as to topic. I think we're stocked to capacity on CS. Most people in the world wouldn't be hurt by just a tad bit of therapy, some more than others. And this site is international so...you figure it out.
One day, a rather inebriated ice fisherman drilled a hole in the ice and peered deeply into the hole examining it for fish. Suddenly, a loud voice boomed, "There are no fish down there."
Surprised, but not discouraged, the fisherman continued on. He walked several yards away, drilled another hole and peered deeply into it. Again, out of nowhere, a voice suddenly boomed, "There's no fish down there."
A bit nervous now, the fisherman managed to continue. He walked about 50 yards away and drilled yet another hole, peered long and deep into the hole, hoping for some fish. Suddenly, the voice boomed again, this time louder than ever, "There's no fish down there!!!"
The fisherman, quite frightened at this point, looked up into the sky and asked, "God!? Is that you?"
"No, you idiot," the voice said. "It's the rink manager."
bout 70/30 but that's because I know their pain. I don't moderate this site but I'm in that business. Let me tell you, their job isn't an easy one. Its cyber-triage many times.
Hello kitty. Nice to see another Oregonian on these threads.
Anyways, to your question, these men are not serious about finding anything "serious" on the net. There are players in real life, and unfortunately, that carries over three-fold onto the net. It's hard to find genuine people in the real world, let alone online.
I blame it on Tom Lykus personally. More like Tome Liar, but that's not the issue here. You'll have to sift through the wheat even more so than in real life on the net, so don't let things like this bother you.
It can work, though. My girl is coming to Portland this next weekend from Ohio to spend the summer with me. She's already visited once so we're going to see how living together goes for a short term and then she can decide if she wants to move permanently to Oregon. My bet is she will, its beautiful here and she's a photographer so...
Anyways. Good luck to you, don't take things personal, and take it slow if you do find someone you like.
A letter from Arius to the Arian Eusebius of Nicomedia succinctly states the core beliefs of the Arians:
"Some of them say that the Son is an eructation, others that he is a production, others that he is also unbegotten. These are impieties to which we cannot listen, even though the heretics threaten us with a thousand deaths. But we say and believe and have taught, and do teach, that the Son is not unbegotten, nor in any way part of the unbegotten; and that he does not derive his subsistence from any matter; but that by his own will and counsel he has subsisted before time and before ages as perfect God, only begotten and unchangeable, and that before he was begotten, or created, or purposed, or established, he was not. For he was not unbegotten. We are persecuted, because we say that the Son has a beginning, but that God is without beginning." (Peters, Heresy and Authority in Medieval Europe, p. 41)
Thus, over the past 1,500 years, some Christians have used the term Arian to refer to those groups that see themselves as worshiping Jesus Christ or respecting his teachings, but do not hold to the Nicene creed. Despite the frequency with which this name is used as a polemical label, there has been no historically continuous survival of Arianism into the modern era. - Wikipedia.
A person's religion shouldn't have anything to do with it either. Personally, I'm a Buddhist, but that has no bearing on the respect that should be set forth.
I don't know where people get off stating that because your not Christian you cant hold conservative beliefs and thus lump you into a basket as a liberal. Its annoying.
RE: What a wonderful day this has turned out to be
When I was in pre-pharm we called the FDA something really really bad. Along the lines of F$%^ing Dumb Asses.
