RE: Should the Canadian Anthem be changed?

I loved the Olympics for the simple fact that Canadians broke into impromptu renditions of Oh Canada at the drop of a hat. It was the most wonderful thing I've ever seen and made me truly proud to be a Canadian. Besides, if they changed the words, who'd hand out all the new lyrics at special events.

Truth is stranger than fiction

I had an odd dating experience with someone I'd met online and dated for a while. Interesting person but unfortunately too many red flags for me. Had broken up with the guy three weeks before things got really weird.

I started receiving strange messages from his email relating to private info between he and myself. Sounded female. I wondered if he was seriously disturbed but soon discovered that another girl had hacked him and started sending messages to me (and other ladies) from his email addy.

Quite a player I guess from the sounds of it. Soon, another woman besides the 1st one was contacting me. I kept my responses quite short and felt sorry for them but definitely did not want to belong to some crazy ya ya sisterhood in recovery from the guy.

Anyone else experiencing anything off the wall on the internet dating scene?

RE: Whats going on?????

Hi all, just back after a long absence.

Missed you guys.

RE: Canada Geese

I walked with family along the South Saskatchewan River Sunday afternoon around 4:30pm enjoying the beautiful Autumn leaves. The Canada geese were flocking but looking for a good feed of grain plus a place to hunker down for the night. There were small groups landing but not one flock formed the v-formation. As the sun was setting around 6:15pm, the air was quite chill so the birds were very quiet quite early that evening.

I hope you both had a great Thanksgiving.

RE: Hi there

and welcome!

RE: HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Happy Thanksgiving Whiterose, I hope you have a good one. My grown daughter is visiting and that's a good enough reason for me to celebrate and be thankful.

RE: The hen pen.

Is that comparable to guys that like a screamer?

The forums are great if everyone else is on with you but I've found sometimes I can only post certain times of the day or night and it still feels kind of lonely out here in cyberspace...you know? I leave a post floating and can't have a real conversation...

Sometimes I feel kind of vulnerable and feel like chatting but my work hours don't always allow me to be online with everyone else's schedule.

all!

RE: Ask the next person a question #2

not much patience there hopefully they learn from others' reactions....

how do you deal with difficult times?

RE: Why is it so hard to meet women?

This has happened to me when some men found out I was a single mom also. I've always been upfront about my kids & am proud of them. More than one man has asked me to choose between him & my kids. Sometimes good parents don't always attract the best partners.

It is really hard sometimes to forego companionship for the sake of doing the right thing and standing up for what you believe. Good for you about being honest about your single parent status.

RE: size matters

Curly, isn't he the "dreamiest" (borrowed that one from the '50's - don't think that's even a word in the dictionary any more! ) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: size matters

This has turned into an interesting thread covering a few ideas. I like that. Good on you, Taz!

While "skirting" the issue of organ size...(Oops, I said it outloud. )... to me the body size is not what matters, because hey, I'm not perfect either. It's getting to know the man and what his personality and soul are like that counts for me.

Some guys I feel physically attracted to initially. After I get to know them I might not feel the same way because of their personality. On the other hand someone I am not physically drawn to in the first place might have a "killer" personality that builds the law of attraction over time.

On my more shallow side: stars like Kostner, Ford, Goldblum, Connery, etc. are very attractive to me. "Build me a fire!"

RE: size matters

Gals, I hate to break it to ya but there be no such word as "modelesque" in the dictionary I'm looking in right now. Arrrr! This after a game of Scrabble last night and looking up another word that doesn't exist from a poetry reading the other night. The leaves were supposedly "subtend(ing)" (what the...)

RE: Terry Fox

Saw the movie too plus a documentary about Fox's effects on Cuba - interesting, I never knew there was a connection there before.

RE: What is your least liked option as a first date?

It's been a year since I've moved to Saskabush. I tend to get busy with work and home and not spend enough time on creating my own social life.

Recently, I've started to become more involved with the activities that really make me tick. Joined a small but interesting writers' group & was immediately asked to join a critiquing group (review each others' work) & a larger writers' group. Most of the folks I've met so far are older women and senior men but I'm hopeful that I might meet someone this way with common interests so I won't have to go through the dreaded 1st date scenario at all. Get to know "him" a bit better first, then go on a real date.

Possibly a son or nephew of one of the above?

1st dates I've done before:

* family function - X (odd & uncomfortable to say the least)
* coffee - okay
* hike - great
* movie - good
* dinner - nice
* church (yup!) - worked okay until he asked me to get my first mariage annulled (what the...) I have 2 children!
*swimming - sounded good in theory until it was just me swimming and him lying around on a lounger watching me the whole time - "too tired", he said. I like activity & met a number of other guys at the pool that day!

RE: A Woman's Garage...

Cordless is the way to go with all your tools, screwdriver, etc. and gas-powered lawn mower - no electrical cords allowed.

Turned this all into a great outdoor party room once the work was all done with tunes, cooler, lawn chairs, etc. Clean enough to eat off the floor. Not quite!

Who needs a garden gazeebo when you've got your own garage! lol!
