In some forums, respecting peoples' thoughts and comments seem to be replaced by persistent tonguelashings. I totally agree that this site is not what it used to be, and I have not been on here very long. I do not believe that everyone here is treated as equals. I have read posts from people feeling ignored and unwelcomed. I thought this was a place to come and meet new people and have some fun, instead of feeling left out or afraid to write their views. jmo
Maybe people should agree to disagree instead of giving someone else a tonguelashing whenever the opinion expressed does not meet with theirs. Either that or get a virtual boxing ring on CS and let the parties involved 'go at it'. Then that way maybe more people would express their opinions without fear of retribution.........jmo
Honesty is the best policy. If you cannot be open and upfront when you start a relationship and the other person finds out that you are keeping things, how do learn to trust that person later on. I don't think it is necessary to know every little detail about the other person, but if the person is vague when asked something about their past then if makes it kind of hard to know if they are being honest about other things or if they are just trying to be the person they think you want them to be. I have been in a relationship where he seemed so genuine and I believed him. I found out the hard way that he didn't know what honesty, truth and trust meant. Had I believed what other people were saying, instead of falling prey to his 'honesty', I would have left in a heartbeat.
Would I look at Mr. GL of GQ. Yeah, probably. Nothing wrong with looking. That is part of human nature. Would I leave my plain date if Mr. GL was famous and had money??? No. Mr. GL may turn out to have the personality of a doorknob. Personality is more important than money, fame or looks.
I would have told my sister how much I loved, respected and admired her instead of pretending (both of us) that she would survive and we would see each other again.
I have talked to a few guys for several months but have not met them because they don't live close to me. I am meeting a guy tomorrow that I have been talking to for quite a while, only because I am on another busines trip and happen to be in his town. We are meeting in a public place. That way I can leave if the conversation turns strange!!!!! Just kidding about leaving but definitely would not meet privately until I get to know him better.
Hi everyone. What a great idea for a thread wikked. I have seen Paula Begoun on tv a few times. She has done a lot of research for products for women, what to buy, where the ripoffs and about gimmicks etc. She has written a few books, one of which is called "Don't Go To The Cosmetics Counter Without Me" which has been a hot seller. A ton of makeup and beauty ideas in there.
As for hair I find using Biosilk - Silk Therapy helps a lot....the beauty salon products are more expensive but seem to work better than the store style ones. Silk therapy helps with the frizz and make your hair feel great --- like silk. I am never without them.
Thanks again wikked for bringing in a great new thread. Barb
