I only have a few true friends, but this describes them perfectly. I think I am a good friend to have. My only bad trait as a friend, is I hate talking on the phone, so I don't call often. But I think I can live up to all the above mentioned.
I think it has to do more with time and finances. If I were independently wealthy, and had all the free time I needed, I would not hesitate to embark on a relationship with someone in another country I found attractive and interesting.
But I am one of those who thinks the proof is in the meeting face to face. I tried the long distance thing. I just can't do it. I need to feel you, see you, smell you, more than every 3 months. I can't grow in a relationship like that.
I love cooking with fresh veggies and pasta. One of my favorites and quickest is Chicken w/brocolli & carrots.
2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts cut into bite size pieces 2 tbsp. Minced Garlic, fresh or jar 1 Head Brocolli, florets only. I don't use much of the stems. 1 Bag Baby Carrots 1 Can Diced Tomatoes 2 tbsp. Olive Oil Salt & Pepper Penne Pasta
Saute chicken and garlic in olive oil until chicken is cooked through. Add the tomatoes, then the washed veggies. Simmer for 15 minutes with the lid on, which helps steam the veggies. Add salt & pepper to taste.
Hopefully they know by their 2nd year of college, because the 3rd year you have to take classes in your chosen field of study/degree. If they don't attend college, unfortunately the list of professions is short. If they are in a trade school they should already know since they are specialized.
I really don't think the majority of high schoolers can make that decision without experiencing college and some classes in a particular field. There are the few who have known forever what they wanted to do and intend to pursue that profession.
Anyone in their late 20's, 30's or 40's should be shaken, not stirred.
I jump started my thread to let all the new people I have met know that I enjoy their company in the forums. I'm off to bed, going camping this weekend. Don't want to be tired and cranky. Goodnight friends.
I keep getting calls for "Dennis" on my cellphone. People would argue me up and down that they had just spoken to him at my number, blah, blah, blah. Then one day I get a call from "Dennis". He's like hey, you have my old phone number and I was just wondering if you are getting any calls for me...LOL I told him yes, all the time, and if he would give me his new number, I would gladly pass it on, so they would stop calling me. He just laughed and then asked if I was married. I told him "not today" and he has never called back. But I still get calls for him.
I've always wondered about that too. I've never figured out what the big deal was. Do all other women pee in the dark, and therefore do not realize the seat is up??? LOL
Claustraphobia (sp?) I have it so bad I can't even watch caving or cave diving on TV. It really sucks sometimes. I love nature, but had to give up exploring caverns because it is so bad now.
As far as Friday the 13th, I'm going camping tomorrow. I guess that is not one of my phobias...LOL
I hate to say this because it sounds so shallow, but I like the idea of not having to take someone else into consideration when I make major decisions, such as moving or changing jobs. It's hard enough to make the right decision for yourself and your children, but I feel almost relief that I don't have to have discuss everything with someone else before I can make a decision.
I can be inspired by rain, laughter, music, even sadness. I think I am so in tune with the world around me and so down right passionate about every little thing, that everything moves me. I truly believe this helps me deal with my every day life more positively. And why I avoid depression, which unfortunately too many people suffer from these days.
Both. I like lighthearted conversation, but I also have my own opinions. It just depends on who I'm talking to, the circumstances, and the mood I'm in.
It's just one of those things. My mailbox is highlighted everyday, even if I don't have new mail. Just keep checking it to make sure you don't miss a nice flower. Maybe, one day, it will work properly, or maybe not...
awwww, crazy beating heart over your beau is a good thing. It will be wonderful to finally get to meet in person, trust me. So many don't get this opportunity. Enjoy your time together and remember to breath.
You have to decide what is you want more, a trophy on your arm or a girlfriend. You can't have both. That is not to say you cannot have an attractive girlfriend, you just can't treat her like a prize to flaunt. The girls who want to be a trophy usually know that's what they are and therefore are not concerned with love and romance, just looking good and being the center of attention, anyone's attention.
