RE: Are Looks Important ? Lets find Out.

Pete,

What if there were a dating website where pictures were not allowed? You only got a chance to know someone by what they wrote about themselves. You couldn't exchange personal emails, only correspond through the site and/or in forums. And, you couldn't attach a picture to the website's email system.

How many people on this site would grab your heart only by what they wrote? I think it would be an interesting social experiment, don't you?

There are some people on this site who really take my breath away with what they have to say and the way they express it. I think looks are overated. (However, if any of you have the phone number to Matthew McConaughey....)

My Home's in Alabama.....

Thanks for all of the suggestions. So many new places, so little vacation time!

Tumpa, were you volunteering to be my guide?

My Home's in Alabama.....

I have never been to any part of Canada. You make it sound very inviting. I will have to do some research and make plans to see parts of the country.

My Home's in Alabama.....

I decided to revive this thread because I need some new ideas for next year's vacation. Please let me know about where you live and why it would be a good place to vacation. For those of you who don't know me, I am a roller coaster nut and would travel on foot to ride a good one. I also enjoy going to the white sandy beaches of the Gulf. At this point in my life, I am ready to venture out and see new places...do new things. Any suggestions?

RE: A Penny For Your Thoughts....

I was thinking it has been so long since I have been to this site and visited the forums. I don't know why I came here today, but I am glad I did. The forums never fail to make me smile!

RE: To love, honor and OBEY???

According to the Merriam-Webster on-line dictionary, one of the definitions of obey is "to conform to or comply with". That, too, gives me a little heartburn. Why should two people have to conform? Isn't it the differences that attracted them in the first place? Compromise, yes! If I were to ever get married again ( ) I would want my vows to read, in part "to support each other through the hard times, to cry with each other through the sad times and to spend the remaining time together rejoicing in each other's triumphants". Wait, that does sound a little corny, doesn't it?

RE: Oh dear.....

Dreamkeeper,

I have learned that there is no one on this earth who can make you happy but you. Get yourself to that place and the rest will fall in your lap. Find things that make you happy being you. A happy person attracts others.

RE: How many REAL friends can you say that YOU have?

I have 2 "girl" friends who are always there when I need them and I am there for them. There is one "guy" friend who is just as close. But he and his family live in Conneticut so I don't get a chance to see him as often. If you are allowed to count family, my 3 sisters and my son would all walk through fire for me. I feel I am extremely lucky in the friend category.

The Baby Is Here!

Thank you all for the good wishes. Now, I get to see how well he will tolerate my ENTIRE family. 19 of us going to the beach the week of the 4th. Will he be spoiled? You bet!

The Baby Is Here!

Thanks, my friend!

The Baby Is Here!

Thank you for the kind words. Yes, he is precious. I could just eat him up! The weird thing is seeing how my son is acting as a father. He, too, has fallen in love with the little guy. It brings tears to my eyes to see the love he has in his eyes when he is watching him. (I just can't wait until he gets payback in the teenage years! LOL!)

The Baby Is Here!

I just wanted to let everyone know that my grandson has finally arrived. He was born 6/12, weighed in @ 8 pounds 4 ounces, was 21 1/2 inches long. And, I have fallen in Love!!!!! I said I was not going to be one of those grandmothers who had to brag and show everyone pictures...but, I AM! His name is Miles and my name is Bebe!

RE: Why are you single?

I am single because I learned that I didn't stay single long enough before I got married (twice)! I want to be really happy with me. Then, maybe I will find someone who will want to share my happiness.

RE: Are you happy with how you look ?

Why haven't I noticed this post before? Only a man would have started this type of post.

Hell no! I am not happy with my appearance. But, there is only so much you can do (diet, exercise, cosmetic surgery). Unless you want to come out looking like Michael Jackson, you resign yourself to the composite make-up of your genes.

The trick is to not dwell on your appearance, but learn to love the entire person. I am still working on learning to love me...not who I see in the mirror, but the person inside my heart (wherever the hell I put it!)

RE: which 2 CS members would make a good couple?

Kenny who?

RE: which 2 CS members would make a good couple?

How about Cute and Gumby? (He only has one post, but...look him up, Jackie.)

RE: You now what I hate the most about USA

I will proudly say that I voted for George Bush. What has happened to this country would have happened, regardless of who was in office in September, 2001. Has everything since that time been handled perfectly? No! But, what President got everything right? I don't like the fact that we are losing lives in another country, but I sure as hell don't want them coming back here and making each of us live in fear everyday. THANK YOU, to every man and woman who has served this country! I, too, am proud to be an American and I stand behind this country and the President of the United States, the greatest country in the world!

RE: I need a Date for Fridaynight...

Hon, there are bunch of us that would like one, too! At least you can enjoy America's favorite passtime (or, has baseball been surpassed by NASCAR) and spending time with your boys. Immerse yourself in their enjoyment. Stuff your face with hotdogs. Scream for your team. Hug the boys! They will always remember it and you will forget you didn't have a date.

RE: Do you know what I hate the most about Sweden?

Surely there are advantages to living there. Otherwise, why do you? (Or, maybe it is because you don't want to leave your children behind.)

If the state of the government there is so bad, why not get involved in politics and make a change? Complaining about something and not trying to make an effort to change it is futile. Only raises your blood pressure!

RE: Do you know what I hate the most about Sweden?

Is Friday the only day it is open? If not, why not plan ahead and go on another evening? If you know there is going to be a line, and if you know it irritates you to stand in it, why put yourself through that?

Or, is it the government monopoly that gets you irritated?

RE: What if someone died that is an active member of CS?

Since my age puts me close to the top of CS death possibilities, I would hope you all would hold a Forum Wake.

And, then Allen would win the "Thread Killer" title hands down.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Mississippi Kid!

How do you measure a man's.........

Plenty of newcomers to this site. Time to revive this thread and get some new perspectives. Ladies, how do YOU measure a man's character?

RE: Most Famous Person

I was once chased in a parking lot by Junior Samples (BR549). Does that count?

RE: how do i get a date

Yikes! You would scare the hell out of me if you did that! I am glad you don't live in Alabama! At least I hope your picture isn't on the wall in the post office!

RE: What's this site about??

Of course it was worth it! Most excitement I have had in months. Besides, I didn't know I could keep my legs spread for two hours! LOL!

RE: What's this site about??

I am not too bad, for an old lady! Sore as hell! I went on my first motorcycle ride yesterday. About a 2 hour ride down and 2 hours back. Went to a Crawfish festival and did a really stupid thing. I jumped on one of those crazy trampoline like inner tubes while harnessed to a couple of bungee cords. Tried my hardest to flip this fat butt over, but never could. I did get a chance to jump a lot a really high. Didn't even care if everyone else was thinking that a 55-year old shouldn't be making such a fool of herself. I am just glad they are not here to see how my arms and legs hurt. I will never learn!
