Do you cry easily? I cry at anything, more for others than myself...

I have here, yes, before your reply??

you are just referring to to one thread, hardly a reason to slag off as a general reason...?

you haven't even offered an opinion on this specific thread so what is your own purpose here?

I don't sit on CS 24 hours a day and when I don't see a response to something I post after 10 or 20 minutes I lose interest and sign out. That is all.

Go find a thread where your critique is welcomed

...but then again, it defies freedom of speech for all, so you win some, you lose some...

thank you for your contributions, serious and not so serious!

as you might see, the similar one I posted on the Aussie?NZ forums site has all but disappeared. I rest my case.

Getting off that, yes you are all correct and there is no shame in shedding easy tears of joy or sadness or fear...it means we aren't hardened to the world

we are collectively loving, compassionate, sensitive, empathetic and generally kind people !

Whether it is bad or good news, I equally feel emotional for someone's misfortune, a death, lost pet, whatever, as I do for someone's good fortune when they have won a lot of money they really desperately needed

I'm just a big sook and I wear my emotions on my sleeve

I've put this question here because Aussie/NZ forums are too cliquy and have their favourite posters they contribute to....

ARE YOU A CRIER? I AM, I CRY EASILY FOR OTHERS

I know it's an old question but new days, new people, new opinions!

RE: Rolf Harris arrested

RE: Should woman over 50 have short hair?

No you look beautiful with short hair. Perhaps you are fishing for compliments?

I haven't read all the other comments because they don't have any influence on my opinion.

And your heading should use the plural 'women'

a bloke who hates women is a misogynist, what do you call a woman who hates men?

a woman who hates penises I would imagine...but that would make her a lesbian my daughter is a lesbian and she doesn't hate men, just penises

a bloke who hates women is a misogynist, what do you call a woman who hates men?

aha! I spoke too soon!!! there IS a terminology now!

I suppose that's the end of this forum

a bloke who hates women is a misogynist, what do you call a woman who hates men?

al far as I've been able to research there is no word or term for a sheila who hates blokes

have they come up with a terminology or 'ist' for man-haters yet? What do you think is a good word ?

RE: Who is the most famous / infamous person you have ever met?

I once had a near encounter with the infamous Peter Foster (and his mother) in Authur Gorrie in Brisbane whilst visiting my son in prison. Foster tried to talk my son into becoming a jockey, possibly to nominate himself as his agent or something in the eventuality of it becoming reality? He'd try to make a quick buck on anything

Who do you think will in the Aus Masterchef Professionals?

I never was interested in stuff like this on telly til I watched it the first time last year for the sake of filling a silent void and there was nothing else on that interested me more

I enjoyed it so I'm an avid watcher this year
I reckon Rhett or one of the cute young guys will take out the honours this year

How does one arrange a CS get-together? I'd like one to happen on the Gold Coast

Thank you Serene !

After I've had tea I will look into it properly and get to it when I'm not so tired and feeling back with the living

How does one arrange a CS get-together? I'd like one to happen on the Gold Coast

ok wash do I can pretty much get the ball a-rolling and reach as many Gold Coasters or near enough-ers and suggest a date to meet?

however rain can happen any old time and you'd need crystal balls to predict a non-rainy date

I'll put feelers out at once ! When are you next this way, I will make it around that time

...kill many a bird with the one stone! Plus, safety in numbers and everyone is there with a common interest!

'Baby' words that your or your children uttered when learning to talk...

Bwwahahahahah!!! That was a Freudian wonnit!

To clarify that I meant my my inspirational juices!!! And no, it was a female I am helping with her resume, who happened to arrive just as I posted that last bit!!

'Baby' words that your or your children uttered when learning to talk...

the title is meant to read 'you or your'...
ok, my daughter called santa clause 'banna faws' (I called him 'lac-taw')
my eldest son said 'too-doop' or 'too-doo' (the vowel sounds of the 'u' in full), for thank you
my eldest sister enunciated with 'plas-bag-poon' for plastic spoon
my uncle called poos 'a-a-guns' (the vowel sound in 'as')
my daughter Hayley got called 'Haaardy' by a little boy next door (as in 'hard' with the 'ar' really extended, and I still call her that more than 20 years later
....there's a myriad of other word I could write down too but I'm expecting another visitor soon and my juices have dried, sorry!!!

'Baby' words that your or your children uttered when learning to talk...

my own cute words were 'duddow' for window
'lucka-lie' for butterfly
'jerry-jot' for pot/jerry (as in 'sitting potty'). There were others too. My daughter was cute with her new learning-to-speak words, she said stuff like .... get back on that, just got a visitor! dammit!

RE: Wild weather

Where abouts are you?

DO YOU KNOW OF PARENTS WHO AN OVERSEAS SURROGATE TO 'GET' A BABY?

CAN I EDIT MY HEADING???? I WANTED TO PUT '...WHO EMPLOY AN OVERSEAS SURROGATE' hellllp!

DO YOU KNOW OF PARENTS WHO AN OVERSEAS SURROGATE TO 'GET' A BABY?

I wonder from time to time about these deprived couples, the apparent harshness of the law here, although it has softened a little over the years and a surrogate can be engaged to produce for another couple, as long as no money changes hands.

Many years ago (over 32 yrs) I had firsthand experience when I put my hand up after seeing an ad in the paper (Qld) for someone to agree to be a surrogate for this couple, incognito. I even got to speak to the 'go-between' soon after to talk about how this couple envisioned the process. It was eventually decided that they couldn't go through with the whole shebang because their original idea of Her actually faking a pregnancy for 9 months would be too difficult. At this particular time I'd had my first 2 children under 12 months apart and decided I didn't want any more of my own...I considered myself the perfect candidate! I even went off the pill to give this couple a baby! FIRST ERROR: my husband was away doing basic and then corps training for the defence forces and I made this decision without his consent. SECOND ERROR: I stayed off the pill for a little too long and got pregnant with my 3rd child! Then when baby number 4 came along 2 years later, I wondered what made me even consider going through all that discomfort and pain for 'someone else'!!!!

To cut this story shorter, I did eventually become a real-life surrogate mum, after hearing heartbreaking experiences that a neighbour went through to conceive a surviving child with her 2nd husband (she miscarried many times, lost twins and a premmy baby girl).

Yes it is a lot to endure for someone else. But there need not be so much expense involved in surrogacy overseas, when it can, or could, be closely monitored here. Wouldn't it be better in the long run to keep our couples in Australia and 'getting' Australian-born babies?

I know there will always be the knockers, religious beliefs and so forth, but it's supposed to be a free country. Why are we making it so hard for couples to have babies in Australia with Australian women, who can be rewarded for all their hard work? I will open this box of worms and let others have their 2-bits on the subject....

Do many men actually decline friendship requests from women on CS?

...or would it be misinterpreted as 'interest' in the bloke and the bloke thinks the woman is offering herself to him? I will not make requests to men because I don't want them getting the wrong idea...
Ditto, my accepting a bloke's friendship doesn't automatically mean I want to screw him

RE: Do you shop at Walmart?

Oh, so you have Walmart in the UK Rumple? we don't here in Australia but we do have Coles and Kmart. Great id name, by the way

YOU have to get a great giggle out of the viral emails that spread occasionally about the types of characters who do shop at Walmart....makes your eyes water!

WHAT IS YOUR MOST DETESTED DOMESTIC CHORE?

Yes, saw that, scary as hell. Still, it isn't something most of us tackle of a day-to-day basis, thankfully

WHAT IS YOUR MOST DETESTED DOMESTIC CHORE?

yes I love to watch the curvy bit go up and down , you know, that thing they pull on, I just don't know what it's called, it regulates the the length and duration of the tune...

WHAT IS YOUR MOST DETESTED DOMESTIC CHORE?

So you like a bit of brass music on the side Wash2u? Must say I'm pretty partial to the sax myself, something very sensual about the notes it produces

WHAT IS YOUR MOST DETESTED DOMESTIC CHORE?

No matter how I try to change my view of it, I just loathe putting away my clothes. Is it the fact that the coathangers get caught on eachother, the lack of room in the wardrobe, the categorising for easier selection??? A bit of all of the above? I don't know, but I do know I just HATE putting away my clothes!

WHAT DO I PUT THIS UNDER!! A VENUE 'REVIEW'....

I visited my 'local' this arv for the first time, since I figured it my civil duty to spend my money locally. Well the Tugun Tavern did not tick any of my boxes, apart from cleanliness of the women' restroom. I was there for easily 2 hours and the empty flavoured milk bottle stayed in its place the entire time. I did not get a friendly, uninitiated word from any of its employees in the whole time either. There was no joviality or laughter that you would expect to hear at the bar between patron and employee. Never before have I encountered a more unwelcoming tavern on the Gold Coast. I will not be spending my money there hereonin
