RE: Is anybody watching Eurovision?)))

I don't see much tv, didnt know it was being aired and I am really not into it anyway. Struggling to see what all the fuss is about the Voice.

Are you a fan?

Discrimination

True, but some people just go out of their way to take away other people's choices. It isn't as though there aren't plenty of places that you cannot have children so why ruin it for people who don't want to have to deal with children? You're just an a**hole if you want to go out of your way to make peoples lives miserable.

Discrimination

It was an apartment building. As a parent, I would choose to have some room to move, a bit of a yard at least so the kids weren't cooped up inside all the time. It isn't about money, it is about freedom of choice that you can live in an environment that suits you and I don't think that asking for a peaceful environment without noisy kids is too much to ask for. I have kids and I wouldn't expect to live in an environment full of people who don't know what it is like to have children anyway. It is just looking to make bad blood with your neighbours but if you are a person who likes to invite drama into your life, then why not, do it just to piss people off.

RE: why does finding love have to bo so complicated?

What a lovely sentiment. Unfortunately a lot of people are all about themselves these days, just gotta find the good eggs.

RE: why does finding love have to bo so complicated?

Sorry to hear that Maybe you were too good for her. At least you found out before the wedding went ahead I suppose. Doesnt bring much peace I know, but probably saved a lot more headaches.

Good luck for your future.

Discrimination

I understand that you are still entitled to go out to dinner and other activities when you have children and of course if you don't do these things then they don't learn appropriate behaviour in those environments but I just don't see how other people are not entitled to create a space that caters for their preferences without some smartarse bucking the trend because they get their noses out of joint that they are not included.

Discrimination

I was watching ACA last night who were making a big deal out of an apartment block who refused to allow people with children or expecting children to buy into it. Apparently this is against the law but I question why? Why can't people who aren't fans of screaming annoying children have a peaceful space to live? And does this mean I have every right as a mother with kids to maybe buy into a retirement village? Surely they can't discriminate against me because I am not old??

When I went to China, I holidayed without my kids because I wanted respite from them, then I had to put up with someone else's kids who were on the tour with us. It didn't ruin my holiday, but it would have been a hell of a lot better without them there.

I get sick of hearing about people who want to get into something that is not for them. Why can't we leave people in their comfort zones without having to interfere? If you love kids so much, go and live next to a creche or something.

AJ's Mastectomy

I am struggling with the concept that someone would hack themselves up just in case they may get cancer. I can understand if someone did actually get it, but just in case?? I know she had an 87% chance of getting it which is very high but she also had a 13% chance that she wouldn't. Also after the procedure, she will still have a 5% chance of getting it so what is she going to do in case the mastectomy doesn't work? She is also considering having her ovaries removed because she also has a 50% chance of getting ovarian cancer.

I just feel it is a defeatist attitude that you are going to get something and all these procedures come with their own risks also. Why sacrifice quality of life just in case of anything? Stay inside wrapped up in cotton wool in case you get run over by a bus.

RE: Winter is here

Great pics Rob, and yes, winter is certainly upon us. Brrrrrr

RE: Hi Honey.....I'm home

A warm body to nestle into right now would be good too, damn winter weather.

RE: Losing My Religion

I agree, and I think you can take what you like from any culture and religion to use what suits you. I don't think we need to pigeonhole ourselves into one belief system and I think if more people did this instead of conforming to structured belief systems we would be far more balanced within ourselves.

RE: Stressssssseeeeeddddd!!!

Next time try giving the wine to the kid. Just kidding.

Glad to hear you got her down. It is very stressful when that happens and I think it just gets worse the more you stress, the more they do. Enjoy your wine

RE: Hi Honey.....I'm home

It didn't really bother me much until after the second time I was held up at work. I am typically a very strong & independent person but having to come home to an empty bed after 2 big ordeals like that in the middle of the night did leave me feeling very isolated and lonely. It would be nice to have a pair of strong manly arms to wrap around me sometimes.

RE: Today is a [s]GOOD[/s] Great Day

Wooo hooo, congrats Wash!!

Have you got yourself a hobby to keep yourself busy?

RE: A bloke says to his Mrs ....

Since the snow came all the wife has done is look through the window. If it gets any worse, I'll have to let her in.

RE: HaPPy BirthDaY Underwaterman

Wooo hooooo, happy birthday, Bubbles!!

RE: Mothers Day .....

RE: Im still alive

Hey Micky

Take care and don't worry about us, worry about you.

RE: Mothers Day .....

Lovely sentiments ther, Prowler.

Happy Mothers Day all you mum's out there, hope you get spoiled.

RE: im leaving

have fun Curls, cya when you get back

RE: whats with the blocking setting

Just suck it up. You aren't going to be everyone's cup of tea and there is no point pretending you can be. Better to spend your energy trying to find someone who does want you instead of worrying about those who don't.

It isn't unfair either, maybe if you were on the receiving end of some of the harassing people out there you will understand why the blocking feature is there. There is also a reporting feature so if you harass people who dont want you contacting them then you may find yourself booted off the site and your profile closed down.

RE: What is it with 50 plus ChicKs and Motor Bikes

stoopid echo in here

RE: What is it with 50 plus ChicKs and Motor Bikes

We don't take ourselves too seriously here, we know when people are taking the piss and when they are taking a swing.

RE: The cupcake bakery

Wrong side of town for me and I am not a sweet tooth.

RE: What is it with 50 plus ChicKs and Motor Bikes

I am not into bikes, but I am not 50 yet, give it time.

RE: A bloke says to his Mrs ....

My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and
she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at
a nearby table.

I asked her, 'Do you know him?'

'Yes,' she sighed,

'He's my old boyfriend.... I understand he took to drinking right after
we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober
since.'

'My God!' I said,

'Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?'

And then the fight started...

RE: A bloke says to his Mrs ....

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.

She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 200 in about 3
seconds.'

I bought her a set of bathroom scales.

And then the fight started...

RE: A bloke says to his Mrs ....

My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping the channels.

She asked, 'What's on TV?'

I said, 'Dust'

And then the fight started..

RE: A bloke says to his Mrs ....

I asked my wife, 'Where do you want to go for our anniversary?'

It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation.

'Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!'

she said.

So I suggested,

'How about the kitchen?'

And that's when the fight started...
