Beautifully expressed from the heart, angel..

RE: Things Happen For A Reason

Come on Lorraine!! You know this one...its along the same lines as someone telling you.. that "it's all for the best".. etc. a form of consolation to make one feel better about something that has happened that they may not be too happy about. A way of looking on the bright side of a bad or unhappy situation... a verbal hug of encouragement if you will.

We all hope that perhaps there's a higher power that is guiding us down the path to a better life.. a happy life. So when something happens that makes us sad ~ it's comforting to think that it's in the "grand plan".. and it's all going to be for the best for you although you feel like crap now.

Meh ~ we gotta hold onto something.. right? Even if there is no truth in it regarding a personal situation.. positive thinking and a good outlook never hurt anyone!

Class dismissed ~ lol Hey wait..that's your line isn't it Lorraine? You're the teacher!

RE: a tear drop fell

I'm sorry some chose to treat this thread as a joke.. or something amusing ~ it deserves so much more respect, appreciation and reflection.

Perhaps those laughing have not endured the pain of which you write so beautifully about.. I pray they never do ~ for it is a pain that crushes your heart, and your spirit, and changes you forever.

I have gone through just what you descibe ~ I watched my Mama slowly fade away before my very eyes.. and she put up a valiant fight to stay for her family ~ eduring torturous pain and suffering. I would not wish that heartache on my worst enemy.

So thank-you Z ~ your words brought back painful memories, and I had a good cry.. but it left me with a smile of comfort, that others feel the same way too.

Bless you Z ~ and you as well Soulmate..

RE: Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Why?

Thank-you sweetie ~ right back atcha!

RE: Why?

How about we call a truce and share the blame on this one?

RE: Why?

Obviously you failed to see my other post.. no harm intended ~ and certainly no need to be quite so touchy.

If you indeed researched my character via my previous posts you would also know that I don't really care what people have to say about me.. all I ask is that they have the class and decency to do it privately and not in this forum.

I stand firm that I did not say anything to insult you ~ if I have.. I assure you it was unintentional. Regarding what you wrote? I have no opinion either way, and I if I did ~ I would have said so. I am not one to hold back.. believe me.

Seems to me you're a tad oversensitive ~ and to be quite frank.. you won't last very long in the forums with an attitude like that. The forums are for people to speak their minds.. often getting "in your face" with the written word ~ so if you're going to sqwak every time someone says something towards you ~ even in jest..then I'd strongly reconsider.

Have a good one...

RE: What Do you Want to DO before you Croak?

I would like to know that all those I love and who love me.. are well taken care of ~ and I've done my best for them in the time we've been together.

I would love to have my lifelong dream of becoming a mother ~ so I can look into his/her eyes and see my Mama's spirit looking back at me..
I would love to adopt 1 or more children.. and give them the life they so deserve ~ full of love and everything a childs life should be blessed with. To make all their dreams come true..

I would love to have the shelter for animals I've dreamed of since I was a child. To give abused and neglected dogs and cats another chance at happiness in this life...to give them the love they deserve.

I would love to re-visit Italy ~ and walk in my fathers footsteps in Rome, this time as an adult ( I was there as a small child ) so to see it through my eyes today.. would be amazing. I would like to take my niece and nephew with me to share the experience.

I would love to be with who I wish to be with..that one person I feel destined to spend the rest of my life with ~ to grow old with...and take my last breath on this earth, being cradled in their loving arms.

One last thing ~ I would love to get behind the wheel of a Hummer! lol

RE: Lost Friendships

Yes Master.. yes Master...lol

I do happen to agree with Gibs as well ~ give it some time Lorraine and see what happens. It's hard sometimes to just wait and see if, or when, someone will come around.. but to press can sometimes cause problems.

I've had the same thing happen.. and I can relate completely to how you're feeling. In my situation ~ it turned out the male friend had feelings for me that he hadn't told me about, and he felt I was never interested in him that way so he never brought it up.

So.. when he finally did meet another women and began dating her, he began distancing himself from me. We were so close.. therefore it was noticeable from the start.

I took the tough love approach.. and being Italian ~ it comes naturally. I confronted him.. told him to spill it.. and tell me why he's changed.. why he's taken away his friendship without even telling me why.

I don't suggest this...lol But in my case it worked. I had to remind him who we are to each other in this life.. we're friends, nothing more ~ and I wish to keep it that way. I reassured him.. that to have him in my life as a friend, that he would be around much longer than if we dated..lol
Seriously this guy is high maintenace, but I love him! If I had dated him.. he would have been gone after a week, but as a friend.. I want him in my life forever.

Let time dictate what you are to do next... the answer should become clear.

I hope your friendship survives... and gets even stronger from this experience. If not.. and it's time to part ways ~ I'm sure someday he will regret losing such a wonderful person in his life.

I wish you luck... and happiness always

RE: Why?

Nice to see someone put some effort into their wardrobe around here ~ I was afraid we were all getting a little "too" comfortable...lol

Bathrobe and slipper pics are most welcome.. teddy bear optional

RE: Why?

Who's the suit? lol

RE: I am Mr Excite......

You're not going to find what you're looking for here.. and certainly not in that pathetic, and offensive fashion.

Perhaps you would be better suited for a bang or skin site.

RE: I am Mr Excite......

RE: hi all

I'm very well thanks ~ how are you liking things on this side of the fence so far?

Everyone treating you well I hope!

RE: hi all

Hi Jason! Welcome to the Canada eh? lol

RE: Who is your favorite Canadian Singer or Group

Sarah McLachlan, Bare Naked Ladies, Bryan Adams, Our Lady Peace, Nickelback, Theory of a Deadman, Jan Arden, Blue Rodeo, Swollen Members ( Love Mad Child, Prevail, and Mocha Only ) !!

RE: whats your favorite accent?

I would have to say.. in no particular order of preference ~ Australian, British, Irish... maybe French, but I find it can be a little too schmoozie...lol

RE: Love will come to you

Siete molto fortunati voi siete abbastanza oppure ci sarebbe difficoltà!

RE: Favourite Movie Quote

Dirty Harry 1971 (Clint Eastwood): "You've got to ask yourself one question.. 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"

RE: Favourite Movie Quote

Good one Cynd! lol

RE: Why do guys still "chance their arm" .........lol

RE: Why do guys still "chance their arm" .........lol

By the way ~ the most likely answer to your question is .. some men like the challenge ~ they live for the hunt.. the chase. It's the ultimate challenge to try and steal a woman away from another man..to be the chosen one... to win.

It doesn't mean they even find you particularly attractive, or anyone they really desire...it's all just part of the game ~ nothing more.

Hope that helps..

RE: Why do guys still "chance their arm" .........lol

I don't believe this has hit a nerve with any one of us... to do so would indicate that we care.

You asked a question.. we answered ~ perhaps next time keep the lighthearted pondering to yourself.. that way you'll be guaranteed to get the answers you want to hear.

Good luck...
