was that near Bureau of Land Management by Pony Slough? (I'm betting it was) Do you know we actually have fall out bunkers from WWII? There is so much rich, interesting history here. Coos Bay had an active "entertainment district" (if you get my drift) at one time, also a large China town. It was quite the little cosmos at one time. Now, quiet on the waterfront--it is so peaceful and beautiful.
Hi--we have crocus, daffodils, tulips and camellas in bloom already. This part of Oregon is just slightly north of what is called the "coast greenbelt". Kind of mild year round, similar to Sausilito, San Francisco, etc... It is sunny today. Our winters can be freezing, but it is not nearly as long as some other areas. We have a great thing going here, it's beautiful, AND still very rural. I love it.
People are not arbitrarily saying bad things about you. When you post to such a wide spectrum of viewers you open yourself to whatever they may feel they need to communicate back to you. After 32 years of working in the professional health care field, I put in my time. I am done walking on eggshells for anybody, and I don't have to, anyway. So you have health issues. Take a number and get in line. People are drawn to other people who express enthusiasm, optimism, and a keen and bright enjoyment of life. You are dwelling too much on overstating that you are a good person, not a scammer, and you depressingly ask that we "stop saying bad things about me". Oh Buddy, come ON. Please... if you are really sincere about wanting to love and be loved, this isn't the way to go about it. Just look at your responses. Change the tune, son. Nobody likes a broken record. (Many of us have had great and terrible events and disappointments. Part of maturity is handling those, and NOT letting the world see you sweat. Enough already. Let's see a little sunshine out of you.
It could be that you are in such a hurry. Very first communication you said you wanted to fall in love and get married and would relocate. Splat. That's a bit much. Try being casual, "Hi, I'm Joe Schmoe, I work in retail, like jazz, fishing, and sunsets" Don't be so "needy". Kinda ease yourself in there, (and you can take THIS a number of different ways and it would serve you well). Your spiel cries, "Help me, save me", a bit too much. Bring it in the shade a little, know what I mean, jelly bean?
For a ten year period I tried and tried to get a job with the (then) county I was living in. I had paid my full share of taxes, and had contributed to the community. I certainly qualified for many of the entry-level positions. No luck, again and again. Almost all of the jobs required "Bilingual". (the county was top heavy Hispanic). Well, the job postings stated "bilingual". Because I know French well enough (or did) I went ahead and applied for four positions that I clearly had ample education and experience for. During the second interview, the supervisor asked me to translate a two-paragraph sheet for him. I immediately told him I couldn't do it, as I did not know Spanish. He then got irritated, saying that he could have me cited for falsifying a civil service application. I told him that he could not, the instructions stated "Bilingual", and then I proceeded to converse in French. He smiled. He told me that I knew that the application meant "Spanish". He did, however, agree that I had not falsifyed the application, as I did, indeed know a foreign language. Still, very frustrating to not be able to get a job in the United States because I couldn't speak Spanish. (The next job postings at that county specified "Must be Bilingual in Spanish"). Totally unfair situation.
the movie "Harold And Maude" is worth seeing. Totally delightful, and cleverly written---Harold is fifteen or sixteen and falls in love (yes, in love) with Maude, who is eighty three. The scene where they're riding through the city on a motorcycle is far out.Can it be true that love knows no age? Byron wrote (as probably did others) "Love is always young")
A hike to compare similarities of a region. "Matt and John made a corbett of the mountainous region of Appalachia". (I believe in Australia they would say 'Walkabout'). There might be other definitions.
Whoa. Uh, since you asked at the beginning, after reading this last little blip, I would say "yes" you might be broken. I can see why you may view the world dimly. (s i g h ). we become what we do not like, if we dwell upon it, it seems. I wish you happiness. Seek that, and you will be more content.
Well, you know, we're after the same rainbow's end, just around the bend, my huckleberry friend...... we're the cat's pajamas out here in Oregon, we are....
thank you Kitty. I am thinking you saw my post. (Was it OK?) it felt like the right thing to do. here you breathtakingly gorgeous, one-in-a-million knock-your-socks-off epitome of God's gift to masculine sensibilities and, and, and, why you're just wonderful!!!! (enough mush for ya? (and a baker's dozen of roses. )
from the dawn of civilization we as a species have desired peace. That was, well, let's say, fifteen thousand years ago? It hasn't happened yet. The peace you seek, as all other intangible values, my dear friend Antjo, is in your own heart. The reason why we will not "see" it the way you describe is because it is a product imaginative. Beautiful, yes, but only to be found within the individual, not as a whole. I wish you lovliness, and that peace you want. I want it too.
thank you so much for saying something positive--what is the matter with people, men AND women, having a PROBLEM with somebody being nice!! (?) I have a little admirer--a guy--who has sent me several "flowers" with a short but very nice little note. I did not respond, but I don't think "bad" of the gesture. reminds me of:
no place to go but out. no where to return but in. the sun is too warm, the rain too wet, the trip is too long, the sea is too salty, the kids are too rambunctious, the seniors are too stern..... (if you gripe that will be your life. If you see the good in the world that will be your life. you get what you put out.
I've been reading this thread with a great deal of interest. Now, for me, (please don't think I'm too dreamy or old fashioned) I want to really, really have fallen in love with the other person. You are right - the days of women being "trapped" are over, or at least less frequent, and this of course is a good thing. (There are men trapped in relationships, as well, either with a woman or a man). Love is such a wonderful thing all the way around. That's what I feel it should be about. Of course committment and caring and responsibility are important, but if you are not in love with each other then why bother?
I was just wondering if there really is a way to tell which Sport is the most popular. I voted Soccer, because of the many variations, football, etc... and every country seems to have either football or soccer, especially the ones that are the most telecast. UK, OZ, USA, BRZ, ARGT, etc.....) However, car racing seems to have really expanded, all the ____'nationals in Miami, Calif., Indy, also very big in France, Germany, you know. Golf is huge in US, all of UK, OZ. (Is there a for real answer? I'd be interested. Also, as Sports go, doesn't the overall footprint of all Sports change from decade to decade. When I was a kid baseball was THE number ONE sport--hands down.
did this tickle you? (this guy and I joke back and forth at times. So far, I think it's cool. He's like an old shoe--I don;t think life gets him down).
Menage a trois
If it were two females and a guy, would you say they were "ladies", and he a "gentleman"?
