RE: Weather

We have a foot and a half of snow here in Vancouver.. with temperatures dipping to -11 for a high tomorrow..sunny but super cold.. with windchill it will feel like -19.
More snow expected on Thursday!

But I love it... probably because we don't get it as much so it's a bit of a novelty! lol

Snowball fight anyone?

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

I could agree with you more Z ~ that's exactly the way it should be done.
Remove all you had written on your profile prior to meeting your guy ~ and replace it with something more appropriate and undeniably stating you are no longer available.

Then you will have no reason to worry about men not getting it, and continuing to contact you for anything other than chat or friendship.

There is a certain etiquette to online dating ~ but most is common sense and having a sensitivity to the man/woman in your life and their needs. It's important to instill trust and security, that you are no longer looking.. and are unavailable to others.

Congratulations on your love by the way! All the best..

RE: animal rescue

Thank-you TabooN ~ and yes.. wonderful message to put out there as the holidays are fast approaching.

RE: animal rescue

I recued my dog Kimo from an abusive home when he was just 1 yr. old ~ he was being beaten with a pipe and neglected ~ it breaks my heart to this day to think he endured that.

He's an American Eskimo.. and the sweetest dog I've ever had the priviledge to love ~ and have in my life. He's 13 now.. and due to the beatings he went through before I got him ~ his spine had hairline fractures in it, that with age has caused them to fragment and turn into shark teeth like jagged pieces that have damaged his spinal cord. He is now paralyzed and no can stand on his own.

After watching my sweetheart begin to fade away before my eyes for 3 months.. becoming depressed from no longer being able to go out for walks and runs on the beach ~ my brother sent me a link to a website, where I discovered a wheelchair for dogs and ordered one made to his measurements. It arrived on Halloween last year ~ and his sadness was instantly replaced with pride and happiness that he was walking once again with the aid of his cart.

I love him more than words can possibly say ~ and when I'm feeling down about life stuff ~ I look into his beautiful golden eyes.. surrounded by snow white fur.. and become inspired by his strength and courage to face each day head on despite his new way of life.. and loss of freedom.
He's recently been diagnosed with facial or nose cancer ~ which wounds my heart and spirit to no end... but I am committed to making his last months here as wonderful as possible. He's been a blessing in my life.. and I'm not ready to let go yet ~ and either is he. So until he shows me.. it's time we say good-bye... I will make every single day count. Lots of trips to the beach.. rides in the car, everything he's always loved in this life.

I will not get another right away ~ I have decided to take the necessary time to mourn, heal and accept. But when I am ready to give my love to another animal ~ it will definitely be another rescued dog.. a dog that someone for whatever reason, could not open their hearts to, or fulfill their promise of returned unconditional love.

If you have a chance to adopt a rescue animal ~ please do. They truly know that they're being given a second chance at life.. and they will love you with all their heart and soul for your kindness.

RE: I'm Back!!!

Welcome back ~ you've been missed

RE: Love will come to you

I was addressing The Professor .. see quote ~ and his clarification of the proper use of the Italian language.

For one so proud of their Italian heritage ~ you failed to point out the mistakes Yami Yami made... and in fact you repeated the word "Gabish".. lol

Looks like you're the one who better..."watch it"

RE: Love will come to you

Thank God you straightened them out darlin'....I was about to put my fist through the screen!

Stereotypical Italian wannabe's.. be gone!

RE: How much thought did you put into your CS name & what does it mean to you?

Not much thought at all actually ~ the name of my company is "Wild Orchid".. and I was born in 1968.. so there you have it! lol

RE: Edmonton Get Together & Christmas Party,,Saturday November 25 th,,7:00 pm

Thank-you Lorraine ~ for you kind and sincere words.. I do appreciate it.

As for "Gibs" and myself.. time shall reveal our true destiny in this life ~ meanwhile, nothing has changed as far as our feelings, desired happiness, and mutual respect for one another.

I am glad to be back on CS.. and I am very happy that he has decided to rejoin as well.

All the best to you ~

Bella

RE: Edmonton Get Together & Christmas Party,,Saturday November 25 th,,7:00 pm

He's pretty impossible to forget..

RE: when you close your eyes

I fantasize that we are in bed holding each other ~ by the looks of things.. we've been having some good lovin'... and now it's time to cuddle, with me resting my head on his bare chest ~ his arms around me..holding me close, as I drift off to sleep to the sound of his strong steady heartbeat..

Ahhh.. my absolute favorite thing!

RE: --A "Curse"--

Loving and forgiving heart ~ but I wouldn't have it any other way.

RE: Deticate A Song To Your Crush

"All The Same" ~ Sick Puppies

I don't mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
I don't like illusions I can't see
Them clearly

I don't care no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually
What you'll do

I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
And in between it always seems too long
All of a sudden

And I have the skill, yeah I have the will
To breathe you in while I can
However long you stay
Is all that I am
I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's always the same

Wrong or right
Black or white
If I close my eyes
It's all the same

In my life
The compromise
I close my eyes
It's all the same

Go ahead say it you're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

For my one and only ~ eternal crush

RE: Cowboy Boots

dirty girl! lol

RE: If you could visit..

I would love to go back and visit Italy again ~ see it through adult eyes instead of those of a child.

RE: Quebec is FREE at last! Now pay us half of our National Debt!!

Intelligently stated ~ and eloquently written...

RE: All i want for Christmas.......

RE: All i want for Christmas.......

that's true.. and it's very "beauty pageant contestant" like...lol

RE: All i want for Christmas.......

Okay.. on the count of 3! ~ If only it were that simple.. good point.

RE: What Intimidates You??

People who insist on writing in all caps! Oh no wait.. that's not intimidating.. that's IRRITATING!

RE: All i want for Christmas.......

Thank-you sweetness ~ I hope your Christmas wishes come true.

RE: What Intimidates You??

Not much intimidates me ~ and Lorraine..you have nothing to feel intimidated by.. you're 6 ft tall! lol You can literally look down on all of us!

RE: All i want for Christmas.......

What I want can't be bought in any store ~ happiness and love.

RE: Do Tears Ever Run OUt??

I don't believe we ever run out of tears ~ you can fill an ocean with tears as long as you're alive.

RE: If you had to choose which cartoon character best represented you, who would it be? Why?

Striperella... lol

RE: Where did all the guys go with long hair

I love both very short and somewhat long hair on men ( think Johnny Depp ) but you gotta have a great face to go with it! lol

RE: Whats the Hype about older women dating younger guys?

I've always dated younger men ~ had a 2 year relationship with a guy 12 yrs younger.. Yikes! But it worked. It all depends on their maturity level ~ what you have in common, how you relate to one another etc.
I would never close myself off to someone based on age ~ when I feel a connection to someone.. age really doesn't play a role in whether or not I would date them.

However.. if we're talking a long term relationship ~ I would cap it at maybe 8 yrs. younger at the most.

RE: What Changes The Second Time Around??

Maybe it's because I'm a die-hard romantic ~ but I would like to think that if two people love one another with such passion.. and you are convinced that you are truly meant to spend the rest of your lives together ~ then it's worth persuing.

If there was no harsh words exchanged.. hearts are still intact ~ and there are still loving feelings remaining.. I would take a chance and try again. Nothing to lose really ~ and if there hasn't been anyone during those 2 years apart that made you feel the same love that he did? Then nothing is holding you back but fear and uncertainty, and the only way to deal with that ~ is to face it head on.

Worse case scenerio.. is the spark you once had has dwindled and cannot be re-captured, but I think it's certainly worth a try.

It's your happiness were talking about here. It could end up being one of those romantic love stories you hear about from time to time.. when 2 loves part then are reunited years later.

If its meant to be... it will ~ but it doesn't hurt to give fate or destiny a helping hand.

I wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide...

RE: Who would you like to date?

Twingles! lol I love her dearly ~ but no that way.. not that there's anything wrong with that! hehe ( Seinfeld fans will get that one )

RE: How far would you go to be with someone

I would go to the ends of the earth ~ but sometimes life puts up such unforseen obstacles ~ that even that isn't far enough...
