RE: making connections

No, I find that many guys express an interest but dont pursue it. Fine if I too am not really interested, but a little frustrating if I am and they don´t explain why an initial interest doesn´t flower.

I understand that it is difficult in many cases due to distance...I am in Spain, most members are American, but it would be more polite to say, yes I like you and would be interested, but the distance makes it impossible.

Honesty is the best policy.

RE: making connections

Maybe you need to be a little more assertive.

RE: What songs are you listening to now?

I´m in a dance mood and remembering the nineties....holidays in Turkey with friends, good times.

Love songs for all you romantics.

Not romantic but love the song and video.

RE: Slumdog Millionaire

I´m going to see it tomorrow. Can´t wait!

RE: Online Dating Changes People!

Online dating seems to turn many people into a bunch of liars. It´s easy to portray a persona unlike the reality behind a computer screen.

Why people do this, I really don´t understand if their objective for being here is to meet someone. Lies will soon be discovered in person as we have seen here many times, and as I have personally discovered.

I also think that some hone in on people that they would never dream of, or have the confidence to in real life. It´s an ego boost without the reality.

It´s too easy isn´t it.

RE: helping the women

You crack me up.

Women should never be punished for anything....we are always driven to craziness by the male species. Ask your daughters.

RE: CS couples

Congratulations Rusty, and thanks for your support on the non smokers thread btw, despite being a smoker yourself.

Hope everything goes well for you.

RE: CS couples

Who are they then? C´mon spill, or will that be the kiss of death?

Hiya you.

RE: Am I a Hillbilly??...a Hick, a Yahoo?

Still prefer Lago´s Stranglers, Golden Brown link.

Here´s another great Stranglers link.

RE: Heavenly Interview...

Lago, I loved that, but not the God connection. As an atheist, it grated a little, but the sentiment behind all that was so true and brought a little tear to my eye.

RE: Guess who’s coming for dinner?

Penelope? Typical! What do you think she would contribute?

RE: The Smoking and Honesty Thread...

"cruise for guys" you are funny Imma

Ok, let´s get serious tomorrow Imma and talk about avoiding excessive weight gain....ok Lago?

RE: The Smoking and Honesty Thread...

Lago, maybe it´s a little different for a woman. Of course I want to feel as healthy as I do now, and you know that my recent blood tests proved that. I´m perfect apparently. Buttttt, I dont want a flabby tummy, or anything else for that matter, I´m not, and never have been a skinny woman, I´ve accepted that and have grown to be happy with my curves, many guys seem to like them too which of course boosts the confidence, but soft curves turn into flab much quicker than tall, angular female bodies.

It´s depressing me to think about this further now, so I´m going to forget it and deal with it tomorrow.

RE: Guess who’s coming for dinner?

Oooh so many people spring to mind, but if I can only choose two then, Simone de Beauvoir, great writer and radical thinker, and Salvador Dali, crazy but so gifted. I would want to ask her about her relationship with Sartre, (somewhat disappointing for me) and Salvador, why he was such a political coward (again disappointing IMO)

RE: The Smoking and Honesty Thread...

Imma, thanks sweetie, and I know you´re right, the weight will have to take second place for now.

But woofie, after my long day working today, I was so shattered, there was no way I could have attempted sit-ups! I was so hungry by 9.00 pm as I hadn´t eaten since 12.00. I just yearned for a curl up on the sofa with a ciggie and a glass of wine. That would have sufficed before, after a light snack to curb the hunger. Instead, I ate two huge chicken and tomato sandwiches ( I figured the fresh tomato and wholemeal bread made it healthier therefore without too many calories!...wrong!!) Then two glasses of wine plus two large squares of chocolate!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aaaaarghhhh!!!

RE: The Smoking and Honesty Thread...

Oh Imma, I´m having a hard time too. I spent the whole day on a training course today and when I arrived home at 9.00 pm, I swear, if there had been a ciggie in the house I´d have smoked it. Instead I stuffed my face with chicken.....I hate eating more!!!!! My tummy has grown....yes it has, just a little, but I see it.

And I don´t understand why I still crave one so much after a month now.

BTW, are we allowed TOKES???? Lago, please confirm whether this is included as prohibido too, in our smoke-free existence. Not that I indulge, but it may help when I´m feeling a little "out of sorts" como tu amiga.

To all the fighters on this thread and those non-smokers who continue to support our efforts.

RE: CPR WHEN YOU ARE ALONE

I am aware of this advice, but it is useful to pass it on because, as you say, many of us may well be alone in this situation.

Not actually sure how effective in medical terms it would be, but better to try something rather than nothing. I will ask my doctor students next week and let you know if there is anything else we could possibly do if in this situation.

RE: People with disabilities should be seen and heard ...by children?

I read about it too a few days ago. I was amazed!

She´s a beautiful young woman and fortunatel has the full support of her employers.

Jeeze, what are people with disabilities supposed to do, hide away like they did in the distant past?

Do you know that much of our politically correct language changes, which incidentally are criticised by many people here, were brought about to enable the integration of people with different disabilities. In the past they were seen and not heard and they were called handicapped.....or much worse.

Shame on those parents.

RE: Which first date do girls prefer?

Well if we´re talking about online first dates then good breath has to be the priority for me. Whatñs the point of being onn an exciting or creative date when you have to keep turning away each time he opens his mouth....eeeww!

Oh and just as important is that he resembles his profile and picture.

RE: The Smoking and Honesty Thread...

Oh no, don´t be an obnoxious ex smoker.

So many people still smoke here in Spain so I´m just going to have to accept it. I´m certainly not going to lose friends over it, but a partner who smokes would be difficult I imagine, at least in the early stages of giving up.

My ex husband never smoked and stayed with me for 25 years, without too much complaining actually, so I guess it can be done.

RE: How do respond on the phone?

Si or digame.

RE: Why are people more interesting and better looking when you`re drunk?

Well it´s certainly true that beer goggles can heighten physical attractiveness, not for long though.

But Smokey, I´ve met lots of nasty drunks, perhaps friendly is at that stage just before complete inebriation?

I haven´t been drunk for many, many years, but I like being merry though.

RE: The Smoking and Honesty Thread...

Well we do stop by most days.

I´m still doing well, went into a bar last night though and felt ill, it was so smoky. I hope I get over that!!

I really don´t think I´m going to smoke again.

RE: Chinese Dilodos - The CS band

I play the violin........badly.

Got a good voice though!

RE: the cs oscars

Think I also deserve Best Supporting Actress award too. Remember my work as a coffee table en ´La Casa de Lagoona?´

RE: The Good Morning Hot Croissant Thread

Hell, I only popped in for a quick coffee

:::::backing out towards the door slowly::::::

RE: the cs oscars

We have to share that one.

RE: Older women, younger men

No. And?

C´mon be honest folks

I believe so, Canadians are different.

But the fact remains, I am in Spain, and here is where I stay.
