Ron, now back to your observations. I'm quite sure everyone here posting realizes that these are not one sided issues. But I also think you have every right to bring it up and remind us there are two sides. Some, if not all the male bashing that goes on over these same issues are merely a way of venting ones own frustrations at having to deal with them in our own lives. I respect your point of view.
Trust me Jean, I was not condoning the method. I just know and was pointing out that the poor animal probably would not have survived the injury. And yes a lot of animals can be rehabilitated if the proper professionals are called. But some wildlife such as racoons, opossums, rabbits, are very unlikely to survive an injury.
Actually you may be safer staying there since people like him tend to relocate themselves because they are already known in the area the crime was committed. He will want fresh hunting grounds where the spotlight won't be immediately on him as a known criminal.
I personally would like every animal to be saved no matter what, but an injured racoon can very rarely be saved unfortunately. They will most likely die a slow death just from the stress and shock of the injury because their systems shut down quickly and don't recuperate very fast. It doesn't make us feel better to know this, but I can understand why he had to be put down.
Good points here... After reading the title of the forum and then your comments I'm confused, so just imagine how confused he is... A simple yes or no works much better than all the chaos going on. Just my opinion.
I think a lot of it has to do with how many relationships a person has already been involved in. I believe every time a "love" relationship ends, it takes away part of your trust and makes you re-evaluate what "love" really means to you.
And age plays a factor too. As a teenager "love" is blinding, but as we get older it gets more defined. And as much as we "love" a person, there are things that make us step back from a relationship.
And sorry leatherman, she was just being polite, but at least she was polite.
I think the biggest mistake I made was showing romantic affection for the man I was dating in front of my daughter... I knew right away she did not like it, so I made sure not to make that mistake again. I'm not talking about groping and major fondling, just playful gestures, but she seem to pick up on it right away and seemed a little threatened by it. Keep it family friendly when the children are around. They do watch everything you do and do pick up on even the most innocent of things a couple might do. And include them in some of the things you do with your new friend if you decide to keep dating her.
As a Southerner myself, I applaud your intuitive mind. You are more accurate than I bet you realize. I laughed so hard when I read this I thought I would fall of my pool table...
I don't think a little rain is going deter such a determined and enthusiastic man like you... Change can be just what you need to get on with your life. Good luck on your new beginnings.
Think of it this way, statistically women outnumber men 3 to 1 in your region, so for every one of you, there are three of her... Move on. Her loss is your gain.
I like the forums more than chat because you get to see everyone's posts and pics and it helps me to keep up with what is going on. Even though I don't post much or know everyone by their real names, I do like to keep up with a lot of them, like Wikked, Gentlepaws, Catwoman, and so on... Those are interesting people who have inteligent comments that I find interesting.
I understand how thoughtless some on here are, but we all know who they are just by reading their posts... You are a beautiful, funny, intelligent woman with interesting things to talk about, I hope you come back soon. The forums are about to getting boring...
OMG have I had those days... Just takes one person to screw up the entire day! What I do is close my eyes for a few seconds and recall how lovely the day was before my bubble was burst... and put that person who so kindly screwed up my day completely out of my mind. I hope you feel better soon.
Jackie makes some very valid points you should consider. The thing that I'm most concerned about is how quickly you have found someone else you think may be the one... I know being single sucks sometimes, but making a decision out of loneliness will be worse in the long run. Be patient and use you head as well as your heart.
Not all women run when they find out about children. Unfortunately for you, you must keep meeting women like deborah12. It is highly unlikely that any of us will meet someone who had no life until they met us... We all come into a relationship with something from our past lives, and I think it speaks volumns about the type of man you are that you took on the responsibility of raising your children. Children are a wonderful part of your life and you will meet a nice woman who wants to be a part of your life too.

I agree completely with cute. And yes there is a friendship code.
