I will answer Gilleys ?and then leave thread.Unfortunatly theses threads on religion,Christianity,Gods existance usually get many replies,but few insightful or impathetic.Debate is good,because listening to others we may learn or change our opinion.However arguing or put downs are what I see happen so often.Ignorance is bliss? Reason I beleive there is a God watching over us.I have felt the holy spirit in me once upon entering a pentacostal church,then 1 time I was praying for forgivness for walking away from The Lord for many years.It is a feeling uncapable of explination.Also I beleive because of miracles I've witnessed small mainly and 1 lagre 1 concerning me medically.I prayed for weeks about it,1 day it happened.Dr.s were astounded that just overnight,no medical procedure I was cured.They said it had to be act of God.I knew it was.I also beleive because of my prayers or others prayers or a prayer group where prayer is answered. I'm notreligous,currently do not belong as member to a cetain church which has a doctrine,rules to follow as member.I am a Christian though and there are religous folks who are not Christians but use the title in their church.Of course there are Christians who are also religious.I know God is real also because when I asked Jesus in my heart,to forgive me past sins and admit he died for me so I may go to heaven,I felt his presencene there with me,like nohing I've ever felt. Thank you.I have given my answer and to those who agree,doubt or disagree and try to make joke of it,I love all of you to all
Coolchic hello nice to meet you .As for weirdos or "norml me,they are both in r/l and on any site on web.You have to be careful,but yes there are some great men on this site and another and I also have met some in r/l.I have met some from site on internet in person,they were nice men,just not my cup of tea.Like anywhere your chances are(I have no percentage )well lets ay close to good you will meet a real genuine,no games man.Of course not being sure what your looking for in a man,or what to you i a weirdo,not easy ? to answer.
I would like to make a suggestion.Being raised in the Appalachians I have seen people go hungry and people sleeping on a bus for place to live.If you ever heard of feed the children they feed children out there with nothing.If its just a dollar or two anything will help. Amount is three hundred for single,up to 1,600 for families.[/quote
Hi Hill,I am aware o those folks,my church group went there every year to help out.Very sad in this country that people still o without.Great idea feeding the kids and educating them,they are our future. you have a good heart and think you may have been there done that at sometime.
Trustworthyness,tenderness,humor,average intelligence,ability to fixhousehold things,Christian,outgoing,courteous,animal lover,willing to try volunteer work with me at least once.Appreciation for the way I treat him,a huuger who loves evryone,not predijuce aganist anyone,a family,large italian one and we'd have cook outs and get togethers,good communication sikills,gentleman a must, not an arguer,sits down talks things out,willing to lend others a hand,alittle money put away,a hot uninhibited husband.I could go on but that's really all I ask,simple.
Back to the thread ?.Depends how much it is.I would lik to get some of the homeless who eat at Salvation Army,2nd hand winter coats.Then buy meat from real butcher shop.Then donate to local no kill cat shelter,give some to Christian org. that is buiilding hospital for kids in Haiti.Any left?I invest it or put it where I get best interest,for emergency.So boring a reply huh/ Just being honest
tmbleweed as this is an open site,different people with different lifestyles ,ages and customs,I like to welcome everyone as I would appreciate and did over a year ago.However you said leave me a commnt,so you leave yourself open to any words from anyone as long as they follow the CS rules.Have no idea what mosh means,maybe term young people use and I havn't heard it yet.I'm not sure but think your saying you go to concerts and try to get to stage through othes in audience. maybe I'm older than I thought,mentally.Never heard of that from concerts in the 70's or 80's.Does not sound like something to do for fun and beleive me I was crazy and had fun when I was youngerthat older folks frowned on.Ending up with a black eye or 2 and looking forward to doing it again? Hope you enjoy the site
Notice after posting bamabab never posted reply.Kind of like when Gilly(God Bless him) starts a thread and you never see him again but others have hot and heavy opinions.On this 1 I'm cause if I comment I will stir the pot and not my nature to do so.Just thought it a tad odd that the OP didn't comment again.
Sam,nice to meet you Flowers is a beautiful gesture.Just be you.I was out of practice dating.I found that if it started with freindship,a few phone conversations,then meet,it isn' t the same as just being fixed up for a date.I can tell on phone if this man is a gentleman and if I feel comfortable talking.If so when we meet I feel I already kow him some.Dn't be what a woman wants so you impress her.Be "real" just be who and what you really are.I belee hugs are important for all people.Some don't feel that way.They feel it is only to be don e in intimacy.So if you both had a good time,if she doesn't make it obvious ask as evening progresses or afternoon,whatever.Then to say good bye,ask if you can give her a hug.Then maybe a kiss on the cheek.Now I may be old fashioned and honest,but jmo You'll be fine,like many of us you have to take the first step
I am reasonable and intelligent.I beleive Christ will return 'IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE".Christians will be taken to heaven.I have felt God's presence and have witnessed 2 larger miricales.However I know there are small ones all the time,I just don't see them because they are smallHowever I am becoming more aware all the time.Praise Jesus. I won't go on like a religous zealot.I don't shove my bleifs down others throats.I am not here to argue or debate,just putting in my opinion.
When asked "how are you?",I answer "blessed thank you" .That way if it's a good day great,but if it's not,I don't want to complain and I won't say fine if I'm not.No matter how bad anytime may be,I am still blessed with so much.
1st God Bless the Vets who fought for what they beleived was to keep our country and at times other countries free.Also the service people in now.I salute them and don't beleive they get or got the credit deserved(especially Vietnam). I also knew and understood many boys drafted and protesting or also leaving country.They had thier reasons in Vietnam era. I don't feel this is our fight,I don't beleive we should send our kids in to die there Iraq situation.Yet,they were not drafted and if they felt it was illegal or imoral to serve,then why join up?They should have served the time they signed up for,took an oath.I on't know that sending them home for punishent would be a deterrent of other service people to run to Canada but I have little feeling for them or what happens to them.
Sorry to hear of 2nd death on CS this morniing Makes you realize that every second of breath,do what you enjoy or do for otherd and you'll likley feel good after.Don't put things off.Be thankful every morning you wake up.
I will pray in my devotional time this eve. for you to feel better,get it out of your head.Also that those close find solace as soon as possible never easy,thinking of you dear.
Tok neighbors dog out,neighbor is ill.Said the rght thing early am on crisis line,because lady called back an said what a help my ideas were,that's a great feeling.Not a place for much feedback from folks. Took an aromatherapy bathvery relaxing,worked. That's it for me in early till now day
I agrr you can find different religious beleifs at libraries,maybe a larger library,like your big city 1 instead of branches.Also college libraries.You can take a course in Comparative Religions,or college that teaches ourse,will have the books in bookstore and may times you can buy used books,relativly cheap.nother course of action would be time consuming.Call a leader of churches make an appt with him/her,preist,pastor,minister.Whatever the title used at that denomination.Then an appt. with eah to grt opinions.Of course if your thinking about this as which church you agree with and want to visit,you can visit a different 1 each week.As for the pc,I'd agree google like protosant denominations. Wish you well in our search. for your interests.Just please don't go to church,another story all together
I'm also sorry for you,his family anyone mourning the loss.I hope that at some point whether early in life or even last minute,he accepted Christ.Then he is in a beautiful place. Hope you and others close know that (from what you said) you did what you could and no one can helpsomeone unless tey ask or accept.So don't you and hope no one else feels any guilt over this.Maybe some will learn from this and something positive will happen.My sympathy to you.
Your poem is great and usually we who write,especially poetry need a hurting soul to do it well sad but true when it comes to that kind of writing.Also your a sweet person to feel for him and hope he's in better place.Some ex's could care less.
nice to meet you.If you become a regular on here or I get to talk to you now and then message or im,then if ever in my area,I may say stop in for coffee. always good to see new people.
I say usic is right on about personality,what I look for outside of flesh hot,just an extra.Be yourself.Many woman read profle and make decision to contact by that,even if you are good looking.If still in Navy,I do salute you as all service people and Vets that have been there and sometimes worse places,Hats of to you
Hello grizz,don't know you well,but remember you.Some of tis new stuff some of us don't like,but some is great.I am doing it old way for now.I am glad to hear family member is back to okay Happy to see you too.Welcome back buddy
Fire eyes,in time if you still look younger than you are,you will find it a positive thing when you ook in the mirror.I looked youngerthan my age and was told all the time.Then at aout 44,no one said it anymore and reason,I looked at myself and photos overlast few years,I didn't look younger anymore.All those years I never gave the"you look much younger thing a thought.At 44 I was hoping,waiting to hear it.Get it?Now at 53 I have been told over last few years,here and there (sparsley),I don't look my age.It'sappreciated the few tmes it's said.Forunatly I have changed in may ways in last 5or6 years.It doesn't matter how old I look.I am young inside,still feel and sometimes act 30.I'm just thankful I do have all my body parts and they work.I want to be judged by my inner qualities.I smile alot,very outgoing,ave many interests,know how to listen,know of something to say if conversation lags,positive attitude,I like me.I try to improve any negatives I have.So I am who I am and that's fine with me.I don't need collegan injections to feel pretty.If a man likes me,no matter his age it's usually what's inside.If it's outer beauty he sees then I hope it will also become inner beauty.I for years have judged if I want to date a man not by the flesh,but by his attitude,humor or not,smile,manners,interests,how he treats humanity.Those are alot of what makes a man attractive to me. Not that that was why you wrote thread,just caught my attention. good to meet you. Nice to see people posting in Ohio Forum. hope you enjoy yourself here.
I was stubborn from birth,I also up until few years back would pout.I was always spoiled by men and was useto getting my way.I have decided that that was a fault of many I neede to work on back be4 break up with my ex-boyfreind of 11 yrs.I made a list 1 day when I realized I'm not perfect rude awakening.I asked people to be honest tell me my faults,then added a few I knew but never admmitted. Anyway made this list of my positves and negatives.Decided to work on negatives and imrove positives if I could.Everday over 2 years I look at was started as list,now is pamphlet since I would write goals and times I caught myself in a negative.It's taken time and still a few faults I may never conquer.I am no longer stubborn,seldom pout and a few other changes.Age matters not.You can change if you really want too.
