And watch some of us run far, far away. Not all women are after this. To the good ones among us it wouldn't matter...and for some of us, it's actually a turn-off. (Btw, don't ask me why it is for me...I'm not sure I could answer that one in less than an hour.)
You two are a hoot, btw! Love hanging out with you, Jenny and LL!
I have to say that only others have put those on me when I was growing up...I've never bothered. But, yes, I had people distinguish me as coming from "upper middle class" because my dad was a pilot. Whatever. I didn't care about that stuff and have never thought of anyone as being better or worse than me.
It depends on how they're touching me. I like to be held and cuddled...but do not try to wake me up by playing with any part of my body. That can actually get you hurt if I don't wake up in time. Seriously. Ingrained reflexes, I'm afraid.
When I was in boot camp and we went on bivouac we had to sleep with our M16's, and they would come along in the night to try to steal them. You were in trouble if they got yours. So, the first morning I got called into the Captain's tent, and wondered why since I woke up with my M16...only to be congratulated for breaking his finger when he tried to steal mine!
Sometimes that's the moment one must experience before getting heavily involved in it again...a period of rest that is needed. I think most of us experience it at some point.
On Samhain I honor my dead loved ones. It is a very spiritual time for me as I do follow the old ways of my Celtic ancestors and believe (and feel) that the veils between worlds are thinner. It's a time I reach out to those who have gone before and let them know I still love them.
Supposedly living in the States doesn't mean he's not a scammer...even actually living in the States doesn't mean this, Kitty. Trust me.
My advice would be to insist on getting to know each other by emails first. If he insists on chatting and gets too pushy, I would say "scammer". Believe me, I've played with enough of them to know. Even had one in Denver, CO with a Denver, CO phone number that checked out in a search for that area...however, that doesn't mean anything either.
There are ways to tell...I've gotten to the point of being able to tell almost immediately. If I'm not sure from the first email, I am by the second one.
I'll second the other....the list is long, but I would make good use of it. Believe me, some would go to charity, though...esp to help with animal rescues.
To me, Love means accepting someone as they are, faults and all. It includes trusting and respecting each other, and being able to talk about everything. It is the ability to look past the outer person and see inside to their heart and soul...and allow them to do the same to you.
Yes, you will hurt the ones you love sometimes, though never intentionally. It's the ability to talk about it afterward that will keep you together...and the ability to make and accept apologies for that hurt, forgive each other, and work to make it better every day.
And, if the one you love hurts, it is wishing that the pain was yours instead...that you could take it away and make it all better for them.
This is the love one should have for all...friends, parents, siblings, children, pets...as well as their partner.
Seriously...I'm glad that I'm a citizen of the US...but I'm afraid that could change. I might not live past this Presidency if Obama tries this...but my kids will know that their mother died for their freedom.
I mean it when I say, "my cold dead hands" is the only way they'll get my guns.
RE: Ready... Again
That used to be my solution! Lately, it hasn't been working well.Ah, where's my Mae West persona when I need her?
