Yes, there are many guys that are just after one thing. And I tell my daughter this all the time. Hopefully I'll be able to keep the little hormone infested skater boys at bay.
I like the way you put that. I lost someone once by questioning her love instead of simply having a blind faith in it. I always thought it should be unconditional, but unquestioning seems a more accurate term.
Yes...It depends on the co-snuggler. My last steady girlfriend could sleep through my snoring and didn't have to push my away. We fell asleep entwined and woke up entwined. Ahhhh....
I was so proud of my daughter (12 yrs old) the other day when she told me how much her grandfather (from her mother's side) really disappointed her last week. They were in a Starbucks, or something, and the cashier asked if he would donate a dollar to help build a reading center for kids. My daughter's words to me, "He'll give money to build an arts theater that only the rich will enjoy, but he won't give a lousy dollar to help kids." So my daughter did instead. If nothing else in this lifetime, I know I've done one thing right when I look at her.
I have developed a new respect for the military since recently meeting and corresponding with an officer in the Canadian Navy. After a few years of working in a company where many of the people I work with lack integrity and honesty, it was refreshing to meet a man of his caliber. So much so, that I've decided to enlist in the Canadian Air Force. For me, it is an opportunity for a personally challenging and rewarding career involving aircraft maintenance, as well as giving me a chance to see more of the world and to work with decent, brave and honest individuals. In a couple more weeks, pending the the review of my interview, testing, and medical, I will know if I'm accepted.
Since deciding on this path, many of those that I have spoken to (those with actual experience or family in the military) say that it is a truly rewarding opportunity. The friends you make will be forever.
I also worked with one of the first four Canadians killed overseas, a Randy Payne. It was at a rather big company in Brockville and I did not know him well, but I do remember him being a quiet, well-mannered person. By no means a hot-head. I didn't even realize it was he that died until I looked on a website that his family started up, which was when I saw the photos of him. We all have our reasons for doing what we do, and I often wonder what made him chose the military after that company that we worked at closed the doors.
I do support our troops and also hope to be one of them. Peace to all, and you as well, Comrad Travis.
As with most things, it's a matter of taste, I suppose. I have always loved the beach and have spent many summers on a fresh water beach that went on forever. It's also a good way to remove the calouses from your feet.
I was born in Canada, but my parents are polish. I've dated a few girls with backgrounds like mine, but I don't necessarily go looking for one. So, why are you being so specific in your quest? Just curious.
There will always be stupid wars somewhere. It's part of a long term plan. I've applied for specific roles involving aircraft maintenance, not combat. By the time I'm 50 I want to be living in Florida or California and working for one of those aviation companies. The older I get, the more I hate the canadian winters. I want to feel the sunshine...Ahhhhh
If you truly love him, wish him all the best and let him go. It's the greatest gift you can give him, and it will say a lot about the person you are. And like Adrean said, have a good cry. It's good for the soul. Some days will be better than others, but then eventually you'll be ready to meet someone new.
I know it may seem hard to do. The grief seems unbearable at times, but it's part of the healing process. A lot of us have been there. Me too...more than I care to admit.
It's been a while since I read Davinci Code, but I think what the book also suggests is that how the bible perceives Jesus Christ may not be true, because the bible was written hundreds of years later with a biased slant to it, and was written to make Jesus Christ appear to be devine when he was nothing more than a simple man. It was written in that manner for political reasons so that a certain roman leader of the time would not be ousted, and giving the people something to believe in...something that was not a threat to the position held by the ruler of that era. I don't think the book really contradicts that Jesus was a decent man, but it does raise the question of divinity.
I'm sure. I've seen St. Bernards move. They can be fast.
By the way....you look fabulous in your photo. I don't know why you said you think you need to lose more weight. Size 10 is not big at all. ... and remember, Mr. Right will love you just the way you are. But then it's whatever you're comfortable with, too. So, I'll just shut up now.
I have now met 4 people through the internet and have been disappointed in their honesty 3 of those times. One of the things I'm looking for is someone who is physically active. Not a physical fitness freak by any means, but I do enjoy romantic moonlit walks, or a good brisk powerwalk with someone. And when their profiles claim to enjoy going for walks, or other physical activities that interest me, I would hope that part is at least true. One woman had a bigger lower half than she claimed (and could not see from the head shot) that made it hard for her to walk. Another had to walk with a cane and did not really want to do much except sit around. And the third has back problems that makes it difficult for her to sit up, let alone want to go for a walk. It would be nice to meet someone who did not hide these sorts of things. There are available men quite content with living a less active lifestyle and would be more suited to those who I have felt some disappointment in meeting. An ugly scar, missing finger, bent nose or something like that doesn't really matter. I dated a woman once that slobbered when she talked in an excited manner. It was kind of cute. I don't think it's selfish of me to want to find someone who shares the same things I'm interested in. Isn't that the whole idea of filling out the profiles? I think we all hide things about ourselves, but at least be honest about the stuff we do fill in. The rest is up to us to ask the right questions.
Haven't seen the movie, yet. But the book was one of the best I've read this past year. Being a catholic, it really made me re-think about what I learned about catholicism while growing up. I know a few people that refuse to read it. Maybe their faith is shakier than they want to admit. I know it changed the way I think. And the devout believers who were interviewed on the 60 Minutes segment did nothing to dissuade me from thinking that anything in the book may not be true. It's been hard to find anyone willing to discuss the book. Good topic for a thread.
I agree with you on the mixed features thing. I have quite an attraction to exotic features. On Christmas day, while in the states visiting family, among those sharing the day with us was a woman with the most gorgeous violet coloured eyes. I didn't want to stare (but I'm sure they were not contacts). I was told she was African american (maybe mixed), but until I asked, I couln't figure it out. I thought she was either partly east indian, or native indian. She was beautiful, though. Too bad she's married to a 6'4" ex semi-pro ball player. I wonder if he really was working that day and that's really why he couldn't make it to dinner.
That's interesting about the sugar release, and the cinnamon, too.
Yesterday, I read that when you smoke, the nicotine triggers a release of dopamine in the brain, which gives you a "good" feeling. It's the brain that keeps looking for that good feeling, making you want to lite another smoke. The web site I browsed suggests you figure out whether you have a nicotine addiction, or if it's just habit (associated with activities). If it's a nicotine addiction, like with heavy smokers (half a pack a day, or more), it recommends things like nicorette gum, or patches. If it's more of an activity related thing, disassociate yourself with the routines. I haven't quit yet, but this is a good thread to follow for inspiration. Good luck to all those that are working at it.
For a minute there, I thought...What's the big deal about 6 miles? It shouldn't take you that long. You people must be slow. But then I realized I was thinking in kilometers... I commend you. That is a good pace. I'm just a slow thinking canuck.
I grew up in a big city and I know too many people, who have had bikes, now live with metal in their body because other drivers just don't look. However, I've had off-road dirt bikes for years. I now live in a small town with a very quiet scenic road along the St. Lawrence river. I see a lot of bikes in the summer and often think about getting one. If I don't move, I think I eventually will.
I agree with nwnstar. A visual attraction is a nice start. Then I like to read the profile. Sometimes the heading in a profile without a photo catches my eye. I liked the one who said she's taking over the world. Now that really gets your attention. I just had to contact her. However, it seems her taking over the world is contingent on the Leafs winning the cup.
