Aging

yeah I have heard after 35 you finally get your head together and your body starts falling apart.

Have a great time at Yarra Junction, don't think I will make it but live it up and get some pics to post.

I am working on that

I will go down kicking and screaming!!

The squeeze is still overseas so maybe i do just need a good hard ......

Is it a good thing? Being an emotionally challenged has worked for me. I have never been nor want to be the sort of person that needs to rely on others for emotional support, I am usually that person who gives it. It is probably a pride thing, I don't want to be weak, needy, vulnerable...it just isn't me. I am not sure how I would function if I was an emotional wreck.

I have always been empathetic, to the point I can see both sides of the fence so clearly that I cannot choose which side to take. I am not overly sympathetic, and I don't think that has got any better, in fact probably worse because my tolerance isn't getting any better.

Maybe I am simply pathetic??

RE: Would you let your partner partake in the forum chit chat on a dating site?

Talk about boo hoo, poor you. All that sifting and sorting, rummaging through profiles trying to find a near new second hand bride. If you are actually getting your hopes up, you should take a step back and have a long hard look at yourself, because you are no prize catch in the state you are in. YOU are as much a waste of space in here because you are not even nearly ready to get back out there dating people.

Aging

Good to see you back

Aging

that is a good take on it.

I think what annoys me most about being like this is that it shows my vulnerability and I don't like it at all and in all honesty, it scares me. I have never been a person to show my weaknesses, I have always been the strong one and the go to person when times get tough.

you could be onto something there.

I want to know, is it just me or do people generally get more emotional as they age? I used to be hard as nails, now I get all soppy watching movies that I wouldn't have bat an eyelid at before. I ask because when my sister had her baby yesterday, I was all choked up with tears (tears of happiness of course) but it was all I could do not to burst out crying in front of her!! I am particularly exhausted at the moment that may have contributed but in general, I have found the last couple of years I have been getting worse at being able to control my emotions. I don't really get PMS and I think, at 36 (ok, nearly 37), I am too young for Menopause yet.

RE: Awesome's best jokes ever thread.

A man walks into a shop and flops his willy onto the counter in front of the female assistant. She looks at him in shock and says
"I'm sorry sir but this is a clock shop", he replies, " I know, so stick two hands and a face on this !!!"

RE: Awesome's best jokes ever thread.

A man was sitting on a blanket at the beach. He had no arms and no Legs.
Three women were walking past and felt sorry for the poor man.
The first woman said 'Have you ever had a hug?'
The man said 'No,' so she gave him a hug and walked on.
The second woman said, 'Have you ever had a kiss?'
The man said, 'No,' so she gave him a kiss and walked on.
The third woman came to him and said, 'Have you ever been f#cked?'
The fellow's eyes lit up and with a big grin he said, 'No.'

She said, 'You will be when the tide comes in.'

RE: Awesome's best jokes ever thread.

In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where a family member lay gravely ill.

Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber.

'I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news,' he said as he surveyed the worried faces. 'The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant.

It's an experimental procedure, very risky, but it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the BRAIN.'

The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a time, someone asked, 'How much will a brain cost?'

The doctor quickly responded,

'$5,000 for a male brain;

$200 for a female brain.'

The moment turned awkward.

Some of the men actually had to 'try' to not smile, avoiding eye contact with the women ..

A man unable to control his curiosity, finally blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask,

'Why is the male brain so much more than a female brain?'

The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire group,

'It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to price the female brains a lot lower because they've been used.'

I bet he wasn't a control freak, in fact the opposite. Judging by his posts and his need to make money and build his business, he has neglected his wife and she has sought that attention that she needed elsewhere. She probably spent a great deal of time on facebook and created a bond with someone who was there for her when he wasn't. But rather than step up and be accountable for his role in the demise of his marriage, it is easier to blame the other party for everything. Too many hours at the shop, doing bookwork at home, running errands outside of shop hours, being too tired to do anything worthwhile with your partner, being grumpy when you do finally have some time...it all adds up to no real quality time together. By no means do I think she is innocent, but maybe the warning signs were there and he didn't take notice. Maybe she spoke with him about this but he put the business & money ahead of her. I think he fails to understand what happened and thinks he was doing the right thing by his family by being a good provider and creating a future for his kids and of course, this is very important also but it isn't the foundation of a successful marriage. I hope he can get over his mistrust due to what was done to him, being cheated on is the pits but so is being neglected.

RE: Would you let your partner partake in the forum chit chat on a dating site?

I was the one cheated on in my relationship not the one who cheated, why would I prey on those who have also been cheated on? It makes no sense. I couldn't and wouldn't cheat on my partner so why assume because I am in a relationship & on a public forum that I would do that?

RE: Would you let your partner partake in the forum chit chat on a dating site?

ok then

So what is your solution to people not cheating? Do you think you can tie your partner up when you aren't around so they can't touch a computer, use a phone, answer the door. It is lunacy to think you can control a partner to that extent and in a lot of cases where people accuse their partner of cheating, they end up cheating because their partner drives them away and they figure that is what they are thinking anyway so why not.

RE: Would you let your partner partake in the forum chit chat on a dating site?

Do you think the partners of people who are here to cheat actually know they are on here? I doubt it which goes against what your question is asking.
