wow, that was a really long sentence! Do you ever stop for breath?
Nice sentiments expressed - you're right that it takes two to tango, but I feel that past relationships going wrong is the fault of both parties......... even if only one of the two people turns out to be a bad apple the other lacked good judgement in the first place!
I may be totally wrong, but I feel that if somebody really has got their life in order that he/she shall attract the right sort of person eventually that'll make both happy. I try not to be cynical and live in hope!
Let me know when you can organise a piss-up in a brewery!
(only joking - I don't really care where or when, but if I say I'll go I'll be there........ I'm a man of my word - now you've changed the goal posts we'll have to wait and see).
'I used to be indecisive, but I'm not sure anymore'??????
awwww thanks......... of course I am getting in helpers so I can go out tomorrow, but 24 hour care would soon leave the coffers empty if you were paying for two carers at over twice the minimum wage - don't you think?
My life is NOT miserable at all, thank you........ and I never said I was filthy rich either...... you have to be worth a lot more than I am to have wealth AND spend a lot of money. If you don't have a pension and live off the income from your capital you need an awful lot of money to live in real style!
I wish you'd quit harping on about the rich thing. I'm just very happy that at long last I have financial security. What's wrong with that?
I do sometimes feel a little lonely, but that's human - isn't it?
Anyway, thanks for encouraging me to get out and about. There is always something to do, so i do need to plan ahead and really have a day off once a week. You're right, it'll do me good. Thank you. I might even go to the Malta get-together thingy.......just to take a peek at your white bits!
I doffed my hat to a girl named Sue She was no lady bajanblue She called 'honey' the night before Afore collapsing on the floor Now I look upon her visage, her sweet face Snoring sweetly, snuffling too Oh, Sue - why did I doff my hat at you? Farewell, I must say 'Adieu' - and 'ewwwww!'
I had a stressful morning - arranging for a carer and nurse to come in early....then four people from the Red Cross got my mum into an ambulance to take her to hospital for a dental appointment. She screamed a lot. The nurse had also forgotten to change the dressing on her arm from a burn caused from tea my dad spilt over her two weeks ago, so AFTER the dental appointment I had to take her to casualty for the dressing to be changed.
I finally finished doing lunch and am 'cooling off' in the tower.
A really nice nurse my mum calls 'Teddy the vampire' is coming to take a blood sample from my mother later this afternoon (she's on warfarin (rat poison) to thin her blood) then he flies off to Italy tonight for a week with a folk singing group.
I'm taking the day off tomorrow - apart from a late afternoon appointment to take my father to the dentist...so I might get in my FIRST swim this year!
Thanks for asking. I hope your day is going well at work.
Would you like some extra strength witchy pills to get your energy back?.......... I made some and tried them out on my mother..they worked great (she's gone quite batty!).
Smoky - thank you for your version, I do know the story, but thanks fot your help if you thought I didn't know. I always help ladies if I find them drunk in the gutter late at night - I have been known to ask an innkeeper for a bucket of water to throw over them to freshen them up so that they can stagger home wet but happy. I am a very kind man........
Jesus did say 'Love thy neighbour as thyself' - if you feel bad about yourself you're not going to make a good friend let alone lover!
I've found getting to like myself a long and difficult process.
You love somebody. You want what's best for them; if you feel that you're no good you might as well crawl under a rock and die......saving everybody else a lot of grief.
I believe that both men and women should be assertive - i.e. they should neither be apologetic not aggressive. If you feel bad about yourself your behaviour tends to be apologetic, which makes you feel bad if you feel you are in the right and have been trampled over. If you get aggressive, instead of apologetic, just because you think you are right and the other person is wrong you are just being an arsehole.
Being assertive means respecting the views and needs of another person, but also quietly insisting that your own views and needs are also respected.
If the other person refuses to accept your right as a human being to have differing views to them - while you are decent enough to accept their right to disagree with you - walk away and don't let him or her upset you!
Also don't be a martyr - don't always fall over backwards to fit in with the other person or you'll end up feeling resentful.
Provided you really want to do what your partner would like you to do that's fine......doing something you don't want to do just to please your partner is either lying to yourself or to the other person; if you can't be honest with the person you claim to love - who can you be honest with?
I might be a Gozitan but I abhor riding a bicycle and getting all sweaty.......the ladies might not be impressed by a sweaty stinky old rock :(............anyway, at 5 m.p.h I'd have to start off real early to get there and leave five minutes after the party began!
I guess we guys could vote the 'best' lady - but then we'd be in trouble.......say the 'right' woman and she'll dismiss you with her upturned nose, say the wrong woman and you're in deep doo doo forever and might as well leave CS! We men can handle not being Sean Connery...........but ladies NEVER forget a slight and would never accept being second best!
My apologies.......I didn't explain myself fully. What I meant was this:
You should not expect to get anything out of taking a lady out for a meal other than the pleasure of her company. However, if you did not enjoy her company just don't bother to invite her again, and at the same time do not moan about having 'wasted' your hard-earned 50 cents.
She took a risk accepting your 'kind' invitation. We often like to think we are not selfish or petty-minded, but our actions often are in contradiction to our words - i.e. 'Practice what I preach, not what I do' as the rusty old knight said to the beached whale snoring gently by his side who looked like an angel before the cruel light of dawn.........
Killingtime - you've got a fine brain and an incisive mind, but thank God you're not a woman........I'd not invite you out for a meal for your charming company! hahaha!
Anyway, my post was designed for the ladies - they are illogical critters and quite happy with my pathetic contradictory mumblings - so there!
Is Ryans Bar a nice place? St Julians sounds so much nicer than Sliema! Is car parking a problem? Some of us Gozitans be scared going overseas and stuff........
