RE: Why do Games Play people on Here?

Thankx, Bohd---read "The Legend Of The Thornbird" McCullough--it is on the preface page of her novel "The Thornbirds". Fascinating. (I think you'll like it). ps--you did a sterling job explaining existentialism. Obviously there would be no end to the possible research of this topic. I'm a simple man--it is too deep for me, although educated and armored with street smarts, it's a head spinner, for me. Thanks, you are smarter than average.

RE: Should we have mail order brides and grooms?

I'd be delighted, Robert! It's collect on delivery, parcel post. A small extra fee for overnight express). When can I expect you to send for me?

RE: Personal attacks!

OOOps--ANYTHING thanx! (I meant to spell thanx that way...

RE: Why do Games Play people on Here?

Okie-dokie--define "Existentialism". (I admit I've never quite grasped this, but am fascinated by what I do get of it.-is it about living only in the moment, as it were, with no contemplation of the "why" and/or a sense of an eternal afterlife? I'm being serious--)

RE: Why do Games Play people on Here?

You're RIGHT! I was thinking of white sharks, but had just read about whale sharks. I stand corrected...still, there WAS a 'gist' to the remark. (He said to give him a harder question--the chicken! ha ha )

RE: Are we looking for the perfect mate instead of a real person?

I don't think so--I mean it's YOUR life, and you have every right to want only the best for yourself. Take it easy, there, it is perfectly reasonable to want/expect/strive for what will work for you. It's never easy, I guess, but that doesn't mean settling up for second best, either. Watch out for losers and users--they can talk up a storm--and leave the same kind of damage. Be alert, bud.

RE: Why do Games Play people on Here?

Listen to the soundtrack from "Tommy". You'll get a heapin' helpin' of 'The Who'. This music still makes me wanna party...no kidding------

RE: ARE YOU ALONE THIS CRISTMAS?

Neighbors across the street are having me over. (they do this). Always a great time--they're very sweet--grandma and grandpa type. The meal is the best...

RE: Agriculture

I loved the way of life. It was healthy and satisfying in so many ways. I did go on to college, but always kept a hand and an interest. The town I live in is unique in that although there is a very small but still "Main Street" feel to the city center, one can actually walk out to the country, where horses, cows, chickens, goats, llamas, ducks and geese, are abundant. I am so happy I have this surrounding me. Almost like having "the best of both worlds". It's not the same as when I was a boy, but still there, thank God. It's beautiful, Ali. I'm glad you have an appreciation for it.

RE: Agriculture

When I was in High School you could take two years of Shop-Agriculture. Crop rotation, pesticide control, animal husbandry, veternary tech skills, and so on. Membership in the 4-H club was required, and active participation in the county fair and rodeos. It was a great course, which led to entry-level positions on farms and ranches in this area (which is still extremely rural).It was a way for a smart student who chose not to go on to college to stay in this community and have a viable, interesting career. So, the reason why many don't like it? People have increasingly become lazier--also the pay for this kind of work is much of the time low for the job. (It's hard work). Because of the floundering economy here on the coast (where dairy ranches and poultry farms are plentiful) getting a good "cowboy" job is a little difficult. Does this explain some of it to you, Ali?

RE: USA-Citizens forced to PAY Med Ins PROFITS or become criminals!

Not usual for me to comment politically, but the medical care crisis (YES--there IS one) looms so darkly. Look, if we do not get something in place soon, it can only get worse. Suppose there is no audit whatsoever of a health insurance, (I am for socialized medical care, by the way) then uninsured ill/injured people will continue to flood emergency rooms and medical centers. By law the care they need has to be administered. These unpaid services add up to the billions. And billions. Well, SOMEONE has to pay. These costs trickle (or cascade !) down to the ones of us who ARE paying. I have yet to see a hungry doctor--have you? No matter what the economy, etc... they live much higher on the hog than most. Do they deserve a good life? Well, yes. What I am saying is that the unpaid medical costs come from somewhere. It is time this is fixed. We already have mandated insurance laws concerning homes and automobiles. No, it's not ideal, but I agree with the posters who in one way or another are saying this "uninsured" situation needs restructured. Doesn't this make sense? thank you

RE: What has happened to you since you've been on Connecting Singles?

WOW--someone who understands what I've been trying to say for months. Don't get me wrong-some people have luck getting a mate this way, that is true, but think I agree with this guy and will be trying the old fashioned way. This is good for chat, finding good pen pals, etc... but as far as actual romance, etc... s o r r y............:

RE: Why do Games Play people on Here?

RE: What has happened to you since you've been on Connecting Singles?

Hi RDM! Haven't seen you post for awhile, hows it goin? You're such an endearing guy, but that pic of you! do ya think you could comb your hair, Bud? have a cool Yule and all that fal de-rol. best always....r

RE: Why do Games Play people on Here?

please explain this post. I don't understand.

RE: What has happened to you since you've been on Connecting Singles?

How totally cool!

RE: Online dating Nightmare. (long)

I hear ya on this thought, although I'm wanting to be a little nurturing to this guy. It's a hard knock, you know. We all like to believe we're sage enough to stay out of harm's way, but you know how it goes. I'm a decade older than this seemingly nice guy, and I get 'hurt' by others, still. (I thank God I still have humanitarian feelings, that's my "silver lining". Rather be naive than cynical, any day. I sleep better, too. cheers---)

RE: What has happened to you since you've been on Connecting Singles?

It's great--interesting and educational to hear other folks' views, experiences, hopes, dreams, sadness, joy, the whole maryann. I find that I am not at unyielding - when given sound advice and info I've been known to adjust or even completely change my position on a given issue. It is clear to me that this is healthy, certainly more productive than being stubborn . It is important to gain from others--kind of reminds me of the poem "Desiderata", which touches on these values. That is what I have gained from being in this club--getting to know myself a little better by conversing with other people. Most have been really cool, a few boogers in there, but far more sweethearts. We are all a part of everyone, anyway, in one sense or another. Hugs are good for you!

RE: Online dating Nightmare. (long)

Yes. In his case.

RE: well it happened again.

Look at your current postings - there are several discussing this very matter right now. Might be helpful for you to see what some of the other folks are going through. Look folks, not to sound melancholy, but this meeting somebody in cyberspace has quite a few moon craters, kapiche? I'm not saying it can't work, but hey, look at the crap people are going through. Come on, it's right here in black and white. Go figure...

RE: Grooming down there

Right on. So true

RE: Grooming down there

You are not being honest. You are asking questions concerning the hairiness of a man's private area. YOU posted. A little curious, Bud.

RE: Online dating Nightmare. (long)

Just read your profile. You know, you're over 40, have much to offer, seem stable enough. Flint isn't that small of a town--surely you can get out and about to some clubs, etc... use your imagination--square dancing, an outdoor enthusiasts' club, church, a nice bar (notice I said NICE bar ! ) anyway, the possibilities are there. Don't mean to overstep here, but it is my opinion that online dating will not work for you. Just "feel" it, that's all. Try the old fashioned way. Trust me. Like anything, finding somebody on the computer isn't for everyone. It is for some, but not for you. Do it traditionally.

RE: After great pain a formal feeling comes

I've always liked the poem "IF" by Kipling. other favorites were those 'ballad' type poems of Robert Service. Has anyone heard of Sylvia Plath? Interesting story, but I don't recall reading any of her poetry. What was it like? t h a n x
