RE: If you had to choose..

I have had some so-so relationships and even some bloody awful ones. But I have never had a relationship like this one, nor known a fella like this one, so I would have a year with him rather than a longer time with ANYONE else..... and, yes, even Keanu Reeves!!

As if...

Say Something.... No Need for Names!

Here, I bought this new mirror, just for you!!

Take a look....?

RE: what's your opinion on the turner prize?

It depends on who wins and what it means to my own personal taste, of course. There have been some real turkeys, in my view.

Personally, I watch the annual results of the RIBA and Stirling Awards for architecture with more interest.

What about you?

RE: Forgive & forget?

No, I don't think its possible to forget.....

Errrmmm...

Sorry, what was the question again?!

Say Something.... No Need for Names!

Ohhh NO NO NO...

The socks thing is actually No. 135 on the List of House Rules!



Anyway, off for a nice soak.... enjoy the rest of your evening, love.

Say Something.... No Need for Names!

Yes, I am. But woe-betide him if he leaves the loo seat up..... ohhh yesss!!!

Say Something.... No Need for Names!

Thank you, handsome....

Say Something.... No Need for Names!

Yeah, getting there will all the things that need doing for the imminent arrival. On schedule, anyway....

Thanks for your kind words, darling!

RE: long distance dating

Its unlikely to be easy and anyone thinking it will be is most probably deluded.

It depends on the distance and frequency of being able to be together, for a start. Nevertheless, I doubt its sustainable for any prolonged period of time. One or the other would need to relocate, realistically, or its likely doomed to eventual failure. It would test the strongest of relationships.

I wouldn't dismiss the opportunity outright, there's not much in life that just falls into one's lap. If someone wasn't prepared to be pro-active, give something a go or expect it all to come to them, I'd take that as an indication of how they would be in a relationship perhaps?

Giving it a go, at least, could just be the turning point of one's life, yeah? It was for me....

Say Something.... No Need for Names!

Only one more weekend to go, baby, and then....



Wey hey...!!! Can't wait.

RE: does this site actually work!

"Does this site actually work"?

Yes.

RE: Humans And Monogamy

Sorry to contradict you but swans are not the only monogamous species. There are others, including some breeds of birds and amphibians, and other creatures. There is, in fact, a breed of antelope (can't recall the name of it just now) that stays within so many metres of its mate throughout its entire life, never wandering. Admittedly, there are fewer species monogamous than not.....

You are correct, though, about humans not being a monogamous species. Its evolutionary and not biologically within our make-up, social monogamy being different.

There seems to be some confusion, from some of the posts I have read, between PEOPLE and HUMANS. There is a difference with people obviously making decisions for themselves and the cheating aspect is not relevant in the debate about HUMANS.

I do believe the OP was referring to humans as a species, rather than the individuality of PEOPLE?

RE: confused

There are many forms of communication, IM being just ONE of them. And its not mandatory.

My CS IM has always been turned off, can't be doing with the hassle. Those that need to contact me can flower, mail me or inter-act with me on the Forums. Those I know off-site have all my contact details including private IM. It does fine for me....

Different strokes for different folks...?

RE: How do you show a women total devotion.

Sadly, there ARE those that do that, Ray. Of both genders. Be more selective about your women?

My ex was.... well, never mind. But I am not going to base future relationships on ONE person, ONE relationship and ONE experience... that would be ridiculous!

If you are not open-minded, you are not maximising your receptiveness to future opportunities that come your way, surely?

You are an intelligent man, and a nice man, by all accounts... don't restrict your chances and deny yourself, or sabotage, the chance of happiness, eh?

RE: How do you show a women total devotion.

Ohh, how lovely! A true gentleman.

And wadda ya mean "old fellow"? Don't under-value yourself, my friend!

RE: How do you show a women total devotion.

Urrgghh...!! Joel, you need to get some more expensive Christmas crackers this year, darling....

As for the beard.... alas, I'm afraid I inherited it, though I do keep on top of it, to be honest. So, don't worry, its no competition for yours.....

RE: How do you show a women total devotion.

Hmmmm....

Best of luck.... I think you're gonna need it!

RE: How do you show a women total devotion.

Joel, as always..... ya kill me, man!!

Muuaahh....

RE: How do you show a women total devotion.

I knew it..... HEATHCLIFF!!!!!!

RE: How do you show a women total devotion.

Luvs ya, Trish.... you know that!!

RE: Time machine...Wiring probs......

Is it plugged in? If so, have you tried switching off and then on again?!

RE: How do you show a women total devotion.

No, I, personally, don't believe so. That again makes me think of co-dependency rather than love.

If a partner allows the other to be as free-spirited as they need to be, they will remain with that person because they WANT to and are allowed that freedom, rather than feel obliged to, or HAVE to?

I made a comment on another thread re. men understanding women (an impossible task, I'm sure, and vice versa perhaps?). I said a man doesn't need to understand her, just that he needs to understand that he doesn't need to understand her....**

The women got it, the men didn't, it would appear!

** Bloody hell, sounds like I've been drinking, doesn't it?! Though I suspect you get my drift...?

RE: How do you show a women total devotion.

Yes, we did. Though he never participated on the Forums. I won't bore you with the whole story suffice to say we have now been trapsing up and down country for over a year.

He has said he wants to marry me.... strange man?!

But we Skype a lot and I think he's probably moving down to save buying a webcam.... the cheap-skate!!


For you ---->

RE: Women of all ages.

Yes, indeed, a lovely tribute, Jan!

And I understand where you're coming from with your remarks. I have experienced this myself and completely unwarranted, not even to do with flirting with someone they were interested in.

Talk about letting the side down? One would hope sometimes a little more finesse and, possibly, dignity could be exercised? But then, maybe its an old-fashioned concept? Just me?!

Anyways.... thanks for sharing that.

RE: Tech Support....

Very good!

I tried sending you an e-mail but, alas, it seems I am blocked.... my country perhaps?

RE: How do you show a women total devotion.

Of course it is. Nobody ever claimed it was easy, eh? Though I haven't found it difficult and I don't think one does if the person is right for you....


jlw... thanks, darling. Sadly, couldn't wait any longer for ya, matey! Ahhh....
Muuaahhh...

Trish.... thanks, I appreciate it but steady, hun.... you'll have me filling up!

Christmas... thanks for your kind words.

RE: How do you show a women total devotion.

In less than 2 weeks time my fella will be loading up a van with all his worldly goods, leaving his familiar surroundings, family and friends to be with me some 252 miles away....

I don't expect him to give me every inch of his mind, body and soul but I think it denotes commitment, doesn't it?

I respect and trust this man more than I have ever with anyone. The "devotion" thing though.... not sure if that actually constitutes co-dependency rather than love...?!

Not sure if this answers your question?

RE: Is Flirting All We Have Here?

"Is Flirting All We Have Here?"

Yep, pretty much..... that or thread killing, it would seem?!

RE: I need to share some negative news with you, which you would find out sooner or later.

Cyndie,

I am sorry to hear that you have been having problems.

Nowadays, its not all doom and gloom. Medical science has come on in leaps and bounds in recent years and you will be in good hands, love, they are the experts. They known what they are doing and I can assure you that you will be fine.

I have been through the mill BIG TIME over the past few years, health-wise. I totally understand about your babies and how they keep you going. Mine came good beyond belief! Even when I was pretty much left to get on with it myself, with next to no support. I decided that it could beat me or I could beat IT?!

I have every faith you will get through this, without any doubt.

Please keep us updated?

RE: Forum Or Mailbox

I don't get many mails these days. I guess that's to be expected as I am spoken for and not looking. Most of my friends have left but I keep in touch off-site so that's fab!

I do enjoy posting to the Forums but its much less these days, as with many of the "oldies but goodies" gone. If it wasn't for having so much going on in my life and the Forums being pretty much crap of late.... who knows?

Rockrabbit's time machine would come in handy right now....
