Are you always so rude and arrogant? Just curious...usually threads are for discussion, not a superiority show which just makes you look really bad. You seem to think that you are better than anyone else...and although you're German, you're living in the US now, so it's not "you Americans", it's "we Americans" (unless you're not a citizen and don't plan to become one).
I have a favorite dish that my mom always made, even when she got adventurous and made things like pheasant and cornish game hens instead...yams with rum and marshmallows melted on top. I still make it to this day if I prepare a holiday meal (still tastes good minus the rum, too).
The modern way to spend quality family time! I can't say anything...my sons spend a lot of their time here with me hanging out playing games on the computer while I sit in with them and study...and we talk around all of it.
Got me, Lion...I checked your profile, and see nothing that would have women call you gay. And no...nice people don't always finish last, but it sure does feel that way at times.
Good luck to you in finding what you're looking for in WA. I seriously hope you do. Sometimes it just takes patience to find that one...and when you do, it's worth the wait.
We just had a whole thread on this! Funny how that happens around here, though.
I've had such a relationship with one of my current buddies. We broke it off when I started dating someone and he developed an interest in somebody...and haven't resumed it. We're still good friends.
I think it's not for everyone, but if you have a friend that can do that with you and remain friends, and is in the same situation, then it's great. We did it without further emotional attachment because we knew exactly how we felt and what we were looking for at the time, and agreed that it would end if one of us got into a relationship. We were both recovering from losses, and it was a good stop-gap for us then.
I can handle the snakes and lizards...literally, even...but gack! on the tarantulas and scorpions. No thanks! (Dang...still looking for that "shudder" emoticon! Where did they hide that one?)
That was just too funny about your dog...should've named him "Houdini"!
Cute one about your cat! Love it! So....were you using those muscles right? Did you get her approval? Got to love them, too...they're a ton of fun. I've had many cats in the past, and each had it's own personality and quirks, too! Thank you for sharing about both!
What a beautiful dog, Harley! I love Great Danes! I was looking at GD rescues too when I found my gal. And yes, they're such a blessing! Keep you laughing and keep you warm.
What a great reunion that will be, D. I know how hard that must be.
I had to re-home my last dog when I moved in with my late husband and his dad. My late husband was allergic, and his dad was elderly with pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema. It was very hard, and I visited once to make sure she was happy, and she was, so I didn't go again. I did, however, talk to the mother of the family often and she was great about letting me know how things were going with her. I knew then that if Gene ever died I'd get another dog...I just didn't know how soon that was going to end up being.
Yep...that would be my luck, too! I'm not afraid of pet snakes, have even held them...but a pit of them would drive me insane or kill me from the heart attack. And I don't even want to talk about spiders and bugs.
I know what you mean. I know that sometimes it might seem like I'm doing that on here (no, I know you weren't pointing a finger, g/f), but it's because we talk about so much that has relevance to it. In reality, I have moved on and don't think about it much, other than on here when it's appropriate because of the conversation. But there are others who can't do that at all. It's a shame, because life is for living in the NOW, not the THEN.
Go to the terminal early and learn your way around. Once you do that in the first one, it will be easier in the rest of them along the way. My dad was a pilot, so I grew up flying...and holding the hands of many first-timers who were afraid. Email me if you need someone to talk to about it, Spirit...but I think you'll be fine.
Aww... My 2nd husband (the father of the boys) was raised in the kitchen like that, too. My mom was always kicking us out, couldn't stand to have anyone under her feet while she was cooking.
My late husband was a professional cook for years in Key West, FL and Akron, OH. Unfortunately, he didn't cook enough while we were together to teach me a lot...first because of us being in the bars, and then because of his cancer and the fact that he couldn't eat anymore. I'm not bad, but I'm certainly not up to his level.
