RE: Say .... Nothing, ... STF Up Thread

RE: Hi, I´m new..

and the forums!

RE: E-Mail warning

Thank you for the warning, Ken. I'll be careful. Though isn't it funny how we think our lives would end if this happened, huh? 10 years ago I didn't even have a computer and a virtual life.

RE: The One

I have an ideal in mind...to an extent. Compatibility and chemistry will be most important. After all, my late husband sure didn't fit any ideals I held...and yet, he fit them all.

(If that made sense to you, put the bottle or pipe down. )

RE: If you could go anywhere on earth to make love for one night where would go.

By a waterfall in some tropical location. Sun, lush greenery, and the soothing sound of the water.

RE: "HURTS".....

Very interesting post, HJ. Something to think about...why do we let the words and actions of others hurt us? No matter how hard I try not to, I still let it get to me, if only for a moment.

We're human, after all.

RE: Perks of being 50+

Goodnight, sweet Des...heading to cuddle with the dogs and just relax.

RE: Here's the Plan

RE: ## Be A Be-ar-itch ##

Sorry...couldn't help it!

Have a good night...I'm heading to cuddle with the dogs. I need that tonight as much as they do.

RE: As a single parent how big a role does someone accepting your kids play in you deciding to date them

It absolutely affects the child/children too, at least until they're adults. I know that it affects my decisions now. It didn't with my late husband, and I regret that.

RE: ## Be A Be-ar-itch ##

Awww....I dear you, too!

RE: Put Up Your Dukes

To finish getting my business off the ground and get back on track with my studies.

RE: Time Heals All Wounds

Same here...with one exception. My sister still has to be part of my life, and when she's here in a couple of weeks I'll try to get the boys over to see her and her girls. For the kids' sake I remain civil with her...but it will never be the same as it was, and I can't hold it against my nieces, it wasn't their fault. So, I have to tolerate her presence occasionally still.

RE: Why do people loss interest in CS forums?

Just not making friends the way they wanted...or finding that it was too addictive and disrupted their lives, so work or school was suffering.

That one I can understand, as both my business and schooling have suffered for it, so I will be less active here very soon. I won't leave, but I will be on less. I need to...I've let it consume my life.

Some find too much negativity, like in the religious and political threads. I can't blame them there.

Good thread, Rex.

RE: Time Heals All Wounds

I've forgiven all who have intentionally hurt me...I don't hang onto negative energy by holding a grudge. And I had to forgive to heal.

And yes, if you expect to be forgiven your wrongdoings, you must be able to forgive those of others. Good post, Lonely1.

RE: Time Heals All Wounds

Ditto. That's the one thing I don't think I would survive well. Parents aren't meant to outlive their children. I hope I never have to find out how well I'd handle it. God help me, I hope I never have to find out.

RE: Time Heals All Wounds

I'll second that, Hugz. With the possible exception of losing a child. That one might never truly heal...just get less painful as time goes on.

However, like you, I've faced my past and dealt with it, and healed my wounds. Even losing my husband a little over a year ago has healed. I am enjoying my life now for what it is.

RE: How tolerant is the 'nice' person above you.........

And Indy...I'll give you a 9. It's the democrats that ruin your perfect 10...but then, I share that one, so maybe you get a 10 afterall!

RE: How old are you?..........do you remember these?...............

My kids laughed hard at me while I was telling them about growing up with a rotary phone, one in the kitchen and one in my parents' bedroom, no call waiting or caller id...the cord on the kitchen one was long so mom could walk around the kitchen talking on it, or I could hide in the dining room on it.

I also pointed out that I remember when we had to get up and walk over to the TV to change the channel...and that you had to be careful with keys when the first remote TV's came out, 'cuz jingling the keys would also change the channel.

Ah....the good old days. I don't know if they'd believe me if I told them we didn't have a computer.

Good thread, Jenny! Love it!

RE: How tolerant is the 'nice' person above you.........

I give her a 10...always you reach out with messages of love and peace, Spirit.

RE: Any up for a 50 book challenge ??

I am an avid reader, and would love to join in, but these days more of my reading is focused around text books, and I don't think you want my reviews on those. I don't have much time for pleasure reading.

Have fun, though.

RE: Do You Respect "Death"

That's what I've tried to convince people of for years...even after leaving the field. One needs to do this for their loved ones.

Me...I just want to be cremated and scattered: ashes to ashes, dust to dust...let me just become part of Mother Earth again. I have a site that I wish for this at the moment, but who knows what the future brings. So long as it's a return to Nature, I don't care.

RE: How tolerant is the 'nice' person above you.........

I'll give him a 9...I agree that nobody is perfect, but he comes awfully close from what I've seen on here.

RE: "mind"

I wish I'd seen that one!

RE: Enter the forum with TOLERANCE… or don’t enter at all!

I refuse to respond to that kind of email, or that part of an email, too. I am not a gossip.

RE: Enter the forum with TOLERANCE… or don’t enter at all!

RE: "mind"

I believe it's still around our loved ones...never far away. Before my husband died, we agreed on a signal that he would give when he was near, a touch that he would make that always relaxed me when he was alive. He knew that I said I could feel "spirit touches", and he wanted that just in case I was right. Apparently, I was right. When I'm down, or worried about something, or just thinking of him and my memories of us, I'll feel that light stroke on the back of my neck. It always makes me feel better because I know he's nearby...just a thought away.

By the way, next time I'll try to arrange a different signal...having that feeling on the back of one's neck can be bothersome... It's almost like a bug crawling on you or an itch.

RE: Enter the forum with TOLERANCE… or don’t enter at all!

After what I've seen in some forums, I have to agree with the moderators. This is an international forum. Nobody should have posted in that thread...including me with my minor contribution. And more tolerance should be practiced on here. Even if the world isn't, CS could be a more peaceful place.

RE: Do You Respect "Death"

For my late husband, it was the fear of the unknown. He wasn't sure whether or not there was anything after death.

For me, it would be the fear of it being a slow, painful process like it was for him. I would prefer to go peacefully in my sleep as my two grandfathers did. That would be best. If not, then quickly by whatever method.

As you said, for all living things, the process of dying begins as soon as we're born. It's just a fact, and I agree with Dazzle, more should prepare for it. I used to work in cemetery sales, trying to help people do just that. I can tell you it's easier for the families of those who do than it is for those who don't. I've already told my sons what I want done, and it doesn't take pre-planning.

RE: Three Gifts I Give To You

Preferably many years.
