RE: All answer please very Important.

Thanks Taz and Angel, at least i am not the only one who thinks that way!

icucmeicu2 i have opened up a chat for everyone but there was no interest in it so i closed it again.
I too thought it was a good idea but with only 1 person besides me you can not run a chat.
Sorry...

RE: UFO's

Hmmm if it was 100 m above him it would be flying under the radar. Is he sure he didn't see a stealth jet or something like that?
Cause they are quiet and can fly below the radar?!

RE: How do you fight the WEIGHT

Well to make a long story short. I was depressed and had suicidal thoughts big time. For almost 6 years i lived 24/7 in a trailer had no friends no life no support.

When i left my ex i went home again to my family and they have a farm. I started helping my dad with his work. I enjoyed every minute of it. It got me out of the house i was active and i moved around all day.
I was no longer depressed and i was happy. I changed my life which gave me the motivation i was lacking in Edmonton. I had the family support and i had control over my life again.

So with a little bit of work on the farm i lost the pounds. My muscles are strengthening the fat is disappearing and i am happy.

RE: Hello...need some advice please! :)

Oh man you don't know what you are in for if you want me as your mentor rolling on the floor laughing just kidding.

Uhm what is expected of me as a mentor? Never been one of those. I hope is not contagious... rolling on the floor laughing

RE: The EX

I do get along with my ex. I think now even better then when we were together.
I guess the stress of the relationship is no longer there. We have our privacy and talk only about things that we want to.
I don't know it might sound weired but thats the way it is.
We hardly talked when i was still with him but now we talk over the phone and its ok.
And i am thankful for that since it is easier on me and the kids.
Fighting and arguing is not the way to go. It drives you in sane and is stressful on the children involved so we try to be civil about it.

RE: Hello...need some advice please! :)

Me? Mentor? naaaahhhhhh i just love you people (all of you) and i care thats all.
And you seem to me like a sweet man so i would say you deserve someone special in your life.
Just be who you are and stay true to yourself and it will happen. Be sincere and honest, loving and kind and i am sure you will spark the interest of a woman soon.

RE: Hello...need some advice please! :)

No he was not rich at all. As i said i plead temporary insanity cause even to this day i have no clue why i did that.
Maybe a way of rebelling i don't know.

And as i said before be patient, good things come to those who wait. You will find your mate too! Trust me and remember my words when you do!

RE: Hello...need some advice please! :)

Check your mail box you got a flower from me so quit complaining lol
Your not to old the rest is just to young.
Patience baby, patience cause good things come to those who wait...

RE: Writing add your input and something you wrote here.

You were my friend
my heart my life
my soul my existence.
You loved me unconditionally
like i loved you.
You trusted me followed me
stood by me never turned your back on me.
You were one of a kind
and no one can take your place.
You made me smile
and with your playful ways even laugh.
You dried my tears and just listened silently
to my sobs and cries.
You gave me comfort and strength
you cared and warmed my heart.
In you i found a friend i now miss dearly
In you i found a piece of me.
You were the rock in my life
you gave me hope when everything seemed hopeless
You gave me courage to change my life.
You were there when everyone else turned their back.
You were my only true friend
and thinking of you today makes my heart ache
cause i miss you so very much.
The day you died a part of me died with you
The day you left me is a day i will never forget
When i laid you to rest i died all over again.
I miss the jingle of your tags
i miss hearing the click click of your claws on the floor
I miss having you beside me when i sleep
I miss you when i come home and no one is there to greet me
I miss your soft fur and the comfort i found in hugging you.
I miss you every minute of every hour of every day
and the pain of losing you is still part of me.
I look at your picture and wish i could bring you back.
I hold your picture and wish it was you i could hold one more time.
I wish i could say good bye
I wish i had one more moment with you
just to tell you how much i love and miss you.
Rest in peace
Cause in my heart you are
always remembered and never forgotten.

RE: Dating a person with disabilities

I am an active person and i have two active boys. I like all sorts of outdoor stuff and honestly i can not see myself dating a person who sits in a wheelchair.

If he was someone with a artificial leg or arm thats a different story. Cause most of those people can live a normal life like a person with no artificial limbs.
So there is two sides to this.

But same as Donna said, if the man i am with ends up in a bad accident and then is paralyzed to the point where he has to be in a wheelchair i would not leave him because of it.
That would be so so soooooooooo wrong.

Do you agree or disagree with helping other countries?

Thats just it we don't have the ability to help! Think about it! Canada can't help it's own people right here at home what qualifies it then to help other countries?

First the government should clean up their own act meaning help the people here and not just the ones living on the street but everyone who lives on the poverty line and who can barely afford an existence.

Once the government has done that there will be no money left to go prancing around in other countries and pretend to be some big shot which they are not.
Flaunting money which is not even theirs in other countries and get the recognition for something so fake and contradicting is just ignorant.

Take the tax money we pay and help the people here in Canada and then worry about other people.

RE: Who's COMING?

Well where to go? Hmmm don't know what you like but here are some suggestions.

Florida is warm and nice in the winter but very popular with the snowbirds so you could run into your neighbor there.

Louisiana is nice not to hot lots to do New Orleans is a great city with a lot of history and great bars and pubs.

Texas is ok but not really that great. Houston is the city close to the ocean but honestly nothing special.

Arizona dust, desert, but unique in its own way pretty warm too.

California is alright but depends where you want to go. Los Angeles, no thanks. San Francisco is nice has also a lot of history and Alcatraz is a must see!
San Diego is nice small city with ocean view and not to far from the Mexican Border if you want to go across for shopping purposes.

This is just my opinion but everybody prefers something else. But it might help you decide where to go...

Who influenced you the most in life...?

For me it is not just one person either. I have to say my Grandmother (she just passed away in October) she was kind, loving, caring and treated everyone equal.
She had the greatest advice and she was a Grandmother who went with time and was not stuck in the old ways.

Then my dad. Sure we had conflicts and butted heads but i have to say i learned a tremendous amount of things from him that as a kid i didn't appreciate but today as an adult i am thankful for.
He is smart, talented in many ways and what ever he starts turns out great.

My moms strength is what i admire most about her. Strength as in physical and mental. She is a small woman and if the wind blows strong enough it will knock her over. Honestly i could carry her away under one arm but she has an inner strength which is remarkable.
She works like a horse and goes on and on and on. I think she would be great in the commercial for the energizer bunny lol.

Do you agree or disagree with helping other countries?

I agree with both of you! Canada is rich enough to clean up their own back yard if you will.
There should not be poverty and homeless people. There shouldn't be kids who don't get three meals a day and who depend on their schools breakfast (some schools supply food in the morning) to have a full belly.
I think, just like you guys, that canada should clean up it's act first before going out into other countries and cleaning up there.
Once our people are taken care of they can go and drill wells and build houses and supply food to other people.

But i guess our own country is not important enough to actually do something that would help our people.
It is sad really!

Do you agree or disagree with helping other countries?

This is something i think of every time i see those begging commercials on tv asking you to sponsor a child in afrika or what ever 3. world country.
I don't mean for this to sound disrespectful to any other country quite the contrary.
But don't we have enough starving children and poverty in our own country?
Why do we send millions into other countries and our families and kids here need it too?
I don't get it. We have kids who can't eat 3 meals a day because they live in poverty but yet we send money so that others in other countries can?
I don't see the logic in it.
What do you guys think?

Who influenced you the most in life...?

Growing up we all had someone we looked up to. Someone we loved spending time with and who taught us a lot in life.
Who influenced you who did you look up to and who did you admire for their wisdom?

RE: What are you wearing today?

Woll socks, blue jeans and sweater! It is friggin cold here! only like 8 degrees or so.

RE: SINGLE MOTHER'S...Its debatable?

Sorry i should have put reply to Mychelle it was an answer to what she wrote i think i may have hijacked your thread. blushing
Sorry please forgive me? lol

RE: Stanley Cup

I don't want the wagon i want it to be over! Its giving me a headache lol

thanks lefty.

Children and punishment!

I agree with that!
I was raised on beatings and no praise. No joke honestly! If i said the wrong thing i got a smack in the face if i lied i got a whoppin. Same as my brother and sister.

I don't like beating a child any more than you guys do but if my son acts up to a point where time out and talking does not work anymore and he don't care if i take away a toy or shut off the tv and he then acts up even more i will not stop and give him a slap with my hand on his butt.

It is not against the law and it hurts his pride more than his bum. I think there is a difference between beating a child with a piece of hose or carpet beater or willow branch like i got it and a slap on the bum with my hand.

I don't use it on a regular basis only in situations where i really have no other choice.

Then i also give them praise for things well done or i hug them for no apparent reason. I also give praise for when they play well together. I like seeing the smile those words put on their face and that just makes my day cause i never got praise from my parents.
So i am trying to stay away from cruel punishment and use more conventional methods as in taking toys away shutting off their fav. tv show and making them clean their room lol.

RE: SINGLE MOTHER'S...Its debatable?

Uhm Michelle i don't think he meant it that way as in bashing single mothers.
If you do everything possible to give your kids a good life and try to raise them to the best of your abilities then thats good.
But! There are a lot of single mothers out there who just don't give a rats about their kids and or their behavior.

Right here in my town is a woman who has two children and all she does is put clothes on their back an feed them. Literally!
The kids wonder about town cause the mother don't want them at home. They have no behavior what so ever and are the biggest brats i have ever encountered.
I think he is talking about women like that.
I think what he says is only for those women where the shoe fits. So if it don't fit you then you are the exception!

RE: Stanley Cup

OUCH is it over yet? tongue

Children and punishment!

Since Pucks mentioned the bad behaved children with single parents in public i would like to have your opinion on what do you think is the right punishment for a child who acts up.
Let it be in public or at home.
How do you punish your kid and what are your takes on the government taking all the power away from the parents and giving it to the children.
Because the first thing that kids learn in school is the phone number to CFS.

RE: SINGLE MOTHER'S...Its debatable?

I would date a man with children but i think if he has more then 2 they should be older since mine are still little.
But as Pucks said these are guidelines and are open for options and suggestions.
He is in my eyes also right when he says that women/men with kids have a better understanding what its like.

The part on women have no control over their kids when they are in public, sweetie i agree with you 100% on that!

I have gone to walmart, shopping malls, doctors offices and so on and kids act up and all the mother does is look irritated.
Like come on is that truly necessary? What kind of example are these mothers setting for their kids when they just buy what ever the child is screaming for just to shut them up?!

I was raised old fashion and if i acted up i didn't get anything but a smack on the rear end.
That does not mean i beat my kids but i have a firm hand on their behavior in public.
I had to behave when i was a kid and be polite so i expect the same of my kids. It will make them better people when they are adults.

RE: How do you fight the WEIGHT

I have had weight issues all my life. It runs in my family and there is nothing much i can do about it.
Then i ended up in depression and a really bad life where i tried to kill the need for love and acceptance with food. So consequently i gained weight and i felt even more disgusting. I tried the gym and diets but nothing worked.
I would lose a couple of pounds and then i would hit another hole and the pounds are back.

I believe that not always is a diet or a plan or talking successful. But a change of life!
That was my case.
When my second son was born i was a porker i weighed 298 pounds! The heaviest i have ever been.
I managed to go down to 275 pounds but i was stuck there for ever.
Until i left my husband changed my life and made myself happy again.
The pounds started tumbling on their own. Now i weigh 235 pounds and i am happy.
That was my best diet.
So in other words make yourself happy and you will see the weight will go away with little effort.
It helped me maybe it will help others too.

RE: How many really want

I like dating and the stuff that goes with it but enough is enough i want someone i can spend my life with and be happy and in love for the rest of my life.
I don't need many dates just one that will last forever!

RE: gas prices

I think in the city of Winnipeg the gas is up to $1.26/9 a liter out here where i am $1,16/9 or $1.17/9.

I know it is ridiculous who can afford to go anywhere with those kind of prices?
They are killing the tourist industry and hurt business cause if nobody has money to drive anywhere stores don't have customers and consequently don't make money.
It sucks really.

Make me your Prime Minister and i will get rid of gas prices i will give gas away for free yay

I WISH rolling on the floor laughing

RE: Winnipeg get together location change

yeah bowling i like! That would be fun. Probably make a fool of myself but look on the bright side, you guys have something to laugh at and wont be bored lol.

Well make up a date time and place let me know soon enough cause it will take me forever to get a babysitter. So the more time i have the better.
