Yep, and non of these things are war related; just mother nature at her worst. Wishing I was still doing some of the relief work as being a civilian I feel compeletely useless now.
Actually I was refering closer to home. We helped with ice storms in Montreal, the flooding in Winnipeg, bringing food and supplies to Victoria when it snowed the city in, and I learned how to rebuild houses in the Bahamas after a devasting hurricane there.
marss: I still think your thread was a beautiful tribute despite the negative comments and the debates. So, I am going to thank you for showing the kindess and caring for those that served. You are truly appreciated for your kind comments.
I was referring to the topic. As two people have said; you are not understand the topic; or you are purposely twisting it to your own agenda. No one is talking war; we are talking about people who served. We also help people rebuild homes, bridges, rescue people, sandbag for floods; do you consider that war?
Well, despite the negative input on this thread; I think this is a nice thought. We in the military have gone in on Peace Keeping missions but after having many peace keepers killed for no apparant reason, we have had to arm ourselves to defend ourselves. For those who have not walked in our shoes; the ones that sit home safe and sound; they should consider themselves lucky that they didn't have to fight to stay alive.
Wow, Moonkitten you have more guts than I do. Me, I personally gave up but I do admire your tenacity. I sure hope you find all the happiness that you deserve.
Yep, I would think being known as a liar would not be good for a relationship. A man can be honest with a woman but if a gal is sensitive; then just be tactful in the way you word it.
I feel happier and alive not being in love. I always felt so suffocated, controled, obligated, and generally frustrated when I was in love. I like my freedom/independence and love takes away from that for me. When I think back on all my relationships; I truly was unhappy most of the time and was happiest when the relationship ended. However; I have always learned something from each relationship so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
I am completely opposite. I have keepsakes from my high school, the military, my bands, etc but these are from events in my life not from anything romantic. I don't have a romantic bone in my body.
