RE: Need practical advice - how to get rid of a rat?

I do know some farmers that were approached by shelters to take wild rescue cats. They did hang around and did kill mice and rats.

Freedom and food made them hang around and catching anything small that moves is simply in their nature. Not for everyone, I do like to have a cat I'm on friendly terms with and that sounds like a lawn mower when sitting next to me getting their ears scratched.

RE: Have women lost their femininity?

Do you think it is different for women? Most single guys around 40 either can't or don't want to have a relationship. I was single for a good while until I run by chance into a guy that I had a lot of things in common with. It hadn't been easy in the start with him and his "baggage" of a former relationship, but we got through it - and it's worth it.

Taking your time getting to know someone and making an informed decision to NOT get involved saves you a lot of hassle. Sometimes there is a reason for baggage, but people have to get over it and move on with their lives.

Giving out to all women won't make you find someone that it might work with. Be picky and enjoy your life as single (which is better than having your head wrecked by idiots) and at some point, there might be someone worth your time.

RE: Need practical advice - how to get rid of a rat?

There are wild rescue cats that aren't looking to be touched, let alone loved. They might you be happy for a place to stay that feeds them though and clean up the place.

Fair enough if you don't want a cat. It is tough when they die.

RE: Need practical advice - how to get rid of a rat?

Yes, I have seen rats.

I also have seen cats taking them down (one of our female cats brought even back rabbits not a lot smaller than her).

RE: Have women lost their femininity?

This is what my post was about.

It is about the person and what YOU make out of life, not the gender.

RE: Isn't it amazing how an international forum..

It was a joke.

I didn't take your post too serious.

RE: Sons and daughters

You have brought them up, both of your kids are adults and you have a right to your own life.

My mum is older than you and never dated after my dad died. I would have found it strange (probably) but it is her life. She is always there for us if we need her, but does live her own life and does her stuff. We kids know that and are happy for her. If one of us kids would kick up an unnecessary fuss, one of the siblings would say something. Can your son sit her down and have a word with her?

RE: Isn't it amazing how an international forum..

Oh, I thought is was an inability to score in RL.

RE: Need practical advice - how to get rid of a rat?

Get a cat.

If you get an adult one with a proven track record of going after rats (not all cats take them on) it will sort the problem.

And you have something to warm your feet in the cold Swedish winters.

RE: Have women lost their femininity?

You are a chef - cooking traditionally was a "women's job" - have you lost your masculinity?

These days people can do whatever suits them jobwise - there are women that are mechanics and men that are hairdressers. I'd rather milk a cow or even drive a tractor than cleaning the house. Doesn't mean I can't do "traditional" female stuff (I also sew, cook, garden, decorate, dress according to the situation which can include make-up and pink dresses) and himself rather cleans the house than do diy (we're a good match )

I am an adult and don't need someone to run my life. I want a partner that has my back as much as I have his. On role models and single mothers - every kid has a father and is often is the father that can't be bothered to be in his kids life.

People that are happy, have build up a good life (with or without kids), have a job they like and picked their partner well are usually not frustrated and bitter. Goes for both genders btw.

RE: Alternative Holidays!!

If you like a hot climate and the tropics, Reunion Island can be an interesting winter destination. Our summer is their winter and it's still in the high twenties most days at the moment.

Saw photos of an acquaintance on Facebook, they started off in Kazakhstan and did part of the silk road - looked liked they had an interesting trip.

RE: The advantages of Living in the countryside ..

I love living in the countryside.

I have rented in towns in the past (and found it handy for a while) but never wanted to live in a big city. I like to visit these occasionally though.

Have a place in the countryside these days, close to a small town (where I can get everything I need), a garden, growing veg and flowers, nice neighbours and I can step out of the front door and walk up a quite country lane.

We are neither Irish nor local so people leave us pretty much alone.

Best of luck with your recent visit to another country to meet a CS member btw.

RE: Natural beauty

Have a great one Mimi. Time for bed now for me.

RE: Natural beauty

Too tired for that, but I'll keep the thought for our upcoming holidays!

Gute Nacht Kaybee.

RE: Natural beauty

More popcorn on the way - I definitely have to hit the hay soon.

RE: Natural beauty

I'm happy to share ladies, especially if Mimi posts more of her and Arts photos.

RE: Natural beauty

Speak for yourself Molly.

RE: What are your goals for the future?

That was posted 3 hours ago - I think you're on your own there emmy.

RE: What are your goals for the future?

Wishing you a full and speedy recovery.

RE: What are your goals for the future?

For once in my life keep going as it is and not get torpedoed out of the water once my life is good and on track.

Happy as it is and things are going well. There is a lot of things to do and enjoy if nothing majorly bad happens.

RE: Woman and Reply's

I gave up a long time ago. Just too much nasty stuff - and I wasn't impolite. Most of these didn't read my profile either.

Everyone will encounter people on here that aren't interested in them - no need to be nasty, just move on.

RE: Woman and Reply's

It has happened that a polite "thank you for your email but I don't think we match" has resulted in insulting emails.

This is why a lot of people don't reply if they aren't interested in the person.

All you can do is see if you matches what someone is looking for, send an email and hope for the best.

Best of luck in your search.

RE: why is so hard to find a partner life? what i have to say to show my sincerity?

You are looking for a woman that is a lot younger than you and you offer to support her. Everyone looking for a meal ticket will go after you.

If you can attract someone younger locally when going out and meeting people - great, get together.

Going onto the internet trying to meet someone you realistically can't attract in person - if you are prepared to accept that someone wants you for your money and not who you are, go ahead and don't part with your money until you have married that person (with a pre-nup).

If you try to get someone by offering money/support don't be surprised if people go for you because of it.

RE: HOW LONG IS ENOUGH TIME?

You're don't live around the corner, that could be difficult track.

RE: HOW LONG IS ENOUGH TIME?

What is the question here?

If someone you don't trust pushes to meet you in a place that is not public, just hit the block button.

RE: When is Enough, Enough???

I think it is a character flaw. There are people that can never be satisfied/happy, no matter what they have. It makes for a miserable life imo.

It is a phenomena in Ireland. I didn't hear the expressions "keeping up with the Joneses" and "property ladder" before I came to Ireland. People I know buy a house mostly when 2 people settle down and the vast majority buys it for life.

I do like having a good life and pretty things - because I like it and not because someone else has it and I need to have it, too. I also live within my means. There are things that make me happy like my home, but I wouldn't be more happy to get a bigger house just to impress people.

RE: seks and seksuality ?

Not everywhere thankfully Bo, for example they are looking to increase prison sentences for child abusers in Ireland.

The "elite" could always do what they want without consequences...

RE: stop it now

It is easy to understand if you put it into google translate.

It's quite obvious that you do know what she means, but your are what?
Love creating drama (hint - most women don't like it) or do you want to emotionally blackmail the lady so that she doesn't block you anymore?

The poster in question is banned from posting, a fact that you know. You could have simply send a private mail to sort this out between you 2 to but she blocked you for quite obvious reason.

Carry on, it's great to see how you disrespect a woman's decision, it will help other women to see how you behave and keep away from you.

RE: Mental incapacity in single people

That's all you can do and give definite instructions to your daughter (or someone you trust that these will be fulfilled).

It's not a popular thing to think about, but (slightly different topic), I have seen the mess that resulted someone dying through an accident without a will.

RE: Mental incapacity in single people

Hiya Biff, my mum made a patient decree that she should not be connected to machines increasing her lifetime if there is no chance of recovery.

It mightn't go far enough in some cases, but it is a clear guideline for doctor's in a lot of cases.
