Yes, I swear. Unfortunately. I swear out loud when alone. I try not to swear, but sometimes the situation just needs the correct response to show how angry or offended I am.
Most of the time when out and about I look at people and smile. I always get a nod, or a "Good morning" or "lovely day". Rarely do people ignore a smile directed right at them. I look at men and women and children. I try to make the children laugh. Sometimes a little one is out with a parent and the little one says "please Mommy can I have ------". I really feel like giving them a dollar and a wink. But I don't of course.
I live in a supposed "multicultural country". It is a noble ideal. Both the immigrant and the country being immigrated to have failed. Canada failed to see how our traditions are important to the domestic Canadian. How dare the government allow turbans to be worn as part of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police uniform. That act alone said that Canada was for sale. Let us bend over backwards to allow any immigrant their wish and be damned with the rest of us. You can bet that if I moved to an eastern Asian country and did not adopt their way of dress and customs I would be treated harshly to say the least. The immigrant should realize that the country they are moving to has traditions and laws that are time honoured and proud beliefs. When you become a Canadian...I expect you to act like a Canadian in a lot of ways. Your religion and some of your traditions are yours and to be practiced within your community. But an immigrant must follows our laws...and killing a daughter because she didn't follow your traditions is against our law and the lawbreaker will be punished according to our laws not the immigrants. Having said this...I still would like immigrants to have Canada as their home. I like different foods of the world, different traditional clothes, different religions, different outlooks etc. But one must respect the new country one is moving to. Become apart of your new country. Adopt our traditions, say "Eh!", complain about the Yanks, wear green on St. Pattys Day, go to hockey games, play baseball, go snowmobiling on the frozen lakes (expect don't do the typical male macho "the ice isn't too thin!!!) throw snowballs at passing cars, yell "CAR" when play winter road hockey. Have a Canadian beer, have a "double double". Watch a Canadian TV series...they can be a lot more interesting than the usual. Watch the Rick M*rcer Show. Learn about our First Nations People. Learn about Canadas black people, the Irish, the Scottish, the English, the French, and our eastern provinces and the great west. Learn about us as we learn about you.
I love Valentine day...my daughter was born on Feb 14th. Childhood memories. What is wrong with saying you love someone, be it your partner or family member, or friend? How about a simple gift.. of rose petals (fake or real..dollar store purchase) and bake some of his/her favourite cookies put them in a little container (from dollar store) and tie with a red ribbon. Or whatever you find around the house...it is not so hard. Take a photo of both of you, buy a cute frame from dollar store. There are so many things that one can do. Write a poem, frame it. Doesn't have to cost a lot of money.
Hello! I was there in the 70's...what battle? Was there a line drawn in the sand? The battle was "fought" by a few women. The rest of us said I agree to a certain point but I do not want to see chivalry go out the door. I like it when a gentleman holds the door for me. I do the same thing for men to this day. I like it when a man opens the car door for me. I like when a man walks on the outside of the sidewalk to protect me from getting run over by a speeding maniac. LOL. If he asks me out I expect him to pay. If I ask him, I expect to pay. Many a time I have made the first move. I think what is being confused for equal rights is just plain chivalry and politeness. Equal rights means equal pay and we still haven't achieved that. Used to be women were the property of the husband. We had no rights. The husband could "take" his wife anytime he wanted. (still happens in some countries). OP...you take chances everyday. I don't think I have ever been showered with gifts. Wined, dined..what are you expecting to happen? Single dads have rights to see their children...some choose not to. Some mothers don't let the fathers see their children...go back to court father and have the court enforce the order.
Not bad, not good..the same lol. I hope to be feeling excellent by summer. I damn well better be!!!! I am so looking forward to dancing again. Thanks for asking.
Age is not just a number. It should say..I have life experience. As we grow older some things take on a different perspective. Something I would not have done years ago, now I say, go ahead enjoy yourself. As the body reaches the age 30..then it is all downhill from there. The body is slowly dying, nature takes its course. Whether there is a huge or small gap between ages of you and your parnter...does it really make a huge dent in the outside world? NO! Keep within your own morals (because that is where you are most comfortable) and enjoy your life.
I would certainly send a card and flowers. But he has a family and I am sure I would not be welcome, I am after all an ex. What is in the past is in the past and has been for many years.
Even though I have not been to my favourite bar for months, (poor health), I always arrived alone and left alone. So don't assume just because we ladies are at a bar that we are there to be picked up. If I would meet someone, I would make a date to meet and not at the bar. For me, I go to the bar to dance to a live band. I have one alcoholic drink and then drink water for the next 2 hours. Of course there are some "bar chicks" there, as there are some "bar guys" but for the most part it is just regular people.
You write from your heart darling. I cried , I smiled, I nodded in agreement and my heart breaks for you and for me. Some of us know your pain as we have gone through it also. Death is but a glimpse away, a feather touch on the shoulder. Life is so precious and yet unappreciated some times. So kiss each breaking dawn and try to catch the sunset that filters through your fingers. Each tip of the misted light that breaks the dark is a miracle before our eyes.
Unless I move to some place where the population if 95% men and 5% women...then I would say no the grass is not greener. You ask a lot of questions. What's good about marriage? Commitment, a sense of belonging, hopefully a love that lasts forever and not taken away by apathy, tempation or death.
There is nothing wrong with enhancement. We all are always enhancing ourselves. And not just with the physical. There is also, clothes, cars, houses etc., Even the pets we buy. Gotta have a certain breed of dog cause it shows what type of person we are etc,. If not we would take the nearest mutt, wear a sack and live in a cardboard box. Therefore everything is an enhancement to define whom we represent to the outside world.
