RE: How do men feel about bigger woman?

What is one person's version of being large can be very different from yours loner.

From the posts you have made on here, and letting us get to know you, I do not feel you are single because of what you just said.

When I studied ballet (18 yrs), I was a judgmental about what size a person might be ... hopefully people learn from silly notions they had when younger.

... what others opinions may be, also help us learn, grow and show how diverse we all are. How boring it might be if we all looked, acted and thought the same....

Correction

A slimmer person will be viewed as more attractive than a more rubinesque person ...

RE: checking up on CS before hiring you

I take issue with a company that goes on a social site to spy on a potential employee. Just because someone gives a certain impression on a social site, it does not mean they are like that in real life.

I'm still confused as to a company actually ... going on a social site... to spy on an employee.... if that is true, what has the work place world come to?

RE: How do men feel about bigger woman?

I will apologize for making you feel the comment was to insult "Healthy" skinny/slim people.

My comment was more directed to how the marketing media uses people that look so slime or skinny. The ones giving women (and men) the impression that is what they HAVE to look like. Larger people have been made to feel they are freaks, at restaurants, airlines company's, in medical situations, and when buying clothes and even jobs. Imagine being turned away from a gym.

Larger people have been ostracized because of their size. Not all have gotten that size because they eat too much.

My boyfriend lost over 87 pounds and has lots of loose skin. He still has lots of weight to loose but people assume he eats large sized meals, and to have made comments about him.

After I had my 3 kids, I had gained enough weight to wear Jr sized clothes, (size 7 adult). After I go sick, due to medication, I blossomed to 258 lbs, size 28. It has taken a lot of work to get down to regular adult size 14. Not taking into consideration why I was so large, my mother, brother and some friends had nasty comments regarding my larger size.

No offense, but a slimmer person has more of a chance to get a job, clothing that is not just designed for "larger" people, and if you want nice looking clothing, at a higher cost. A slimmer person will be viewed as more attractive than a slimmer person. Have you ever sat on a bus and listened to comments people make about another, or at some social situation where you can hear what others are saying about another?


Besides, Georgie Girl, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Shampoo, movies Queen Latifah, & Cameron Manheim have stared in, what other larger stars/ have been a success ?? More has been made about how slim and what diet the female movie stars use to keep their slim size. Just this week alone, it was all about how Angelina got back her figure after having twins.

Sorry for the long post folks. To Alberta girl, you are beautiful! To newchick, the comments were not meant as an insult. Beauty comes from with in not from what size we are.

RE: checking up on CS before hiring you

If a company that wants to hire you, goes on a single site and uses that as information ........ I do not feel it is right.

If Connecting Singles is the company that you have applied to work for, that is a different situation. JMHO, they might need to know what your reaction is to certain situations, or comments.

If you act like a baffoon etc, what kind of customer service and support will you give to others on CS?

Walk for Cancer

Today is the walk for Breast Cancer. Lets hope it helps raise money towards a cure, and a cure for all types of breast cancer will be found.


That goes for all types of cancer.

RE: How do men feel about bigger woman?

A real woman has curves. If you weigh 300 lbs or more, that is unhealthy, but what is more important, is you are healthy.

Some skinny/slim women do not look healthy. Some models are so slim they look like a 10 yr old boy. If a guy wants to hug or sleep with a hard bony stick, it sounds uncomfortable.

Now a women with cures, is soft to cuddle and has something to hold on to. (this is what males have told me, including my boyfriend.) Same goes for men. I love to cuddle teddy bears so if the man has a bit of flesh on him (and is healthy), he'd be nice to cuddle.

RE: To all of us beer drinkers, I say this prayer for you (us)

Jim and Brew were a couple of Newfie drinking buddies who worked as airplane mechanics in Gander, NL. One day the airport was fogged in and they were stuck in the hangar with nothing to do. Jim said, 'Man, I wish we had something to drink!' Brew says, 'Me too. Y'know, I've heard you can drink jet fuel and get a buzz. You wanna try it?'

So they pour themselves a couple of glasses of high octane hooch and get completely smashed. The next morning Jim wakes up and is surprised at how good he feels. In fact he feels GREAT! NO hangover! NO bad side effects. Nothing! Then the phone rings....its Brew.

Brew says, 'Hey, how do you feel this morning?' Jim says, 'I feel great. How about you?' Brew says, 'I feel great, too. You don't have a hangover?'Jim says, 'No that jet fuel is great stuff - no hangover, nothing. We ought to do this more often.'Brew says, 'Yeah, well there's just one thing...''What's that?''Have you farted yet?'' No.....''Well, DON'T, 'cause
I'm in TORONTO!!!'

RE: To all of us beer drinkers, I say this prayer for you (us)

I love a good joke, and ah..thanks (I guess) for including me in on this little tidbit[/quote]


Awwww I'm so sorry Brew....... maybe that is why it looks down at the cowboy boots all the time.

RE: To all of us beer drinkers, I say this prayer for you (us)

Cowboy boots

An elderly couple, Margaret and Brew, moved to Texas . Brew always
wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing some on sale, he
bought them and wore them home.



Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife,
'Notice anything different about me?'

Margaret looked him over. 'Nope.'

Frustrated, Brew stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked
back into the kitchen completely naked except for the boots. Again he
asked Margaret, a little louder this time, 'Notice anything different NOW?'

Margaret looked up and exclaimed, Brew, what's different? It's hanging
down today, it was hanging down yesterday, and it'll be hanging down
again tomorrow!'

Furious, Brew yelled, 'AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?'

'Nope', she replied.

'IT'S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!!'

Without changing her expression, Margaret replied, 'Shoulda bought a hat, Brew. Shoulda bought a hat.'








Good mornin.....Sorry Brew, could not resist!

RE: To all of us beer drinkers, I say this prayer for you (us)

I drink to those who wish me well.

To those that don't,

Go to Hell!

A moment of Silence...

There are very few actors or so called "Celebrities", I have respect for, but Paul Newman is at the top of that list.

He passed away today and will be missed by many people that had the chance to know him. He was respected by many people from many walks of life.

He raised money for children dealing with cancer, and other illness's, gave money for their camps, was a very intelligent man, and dared to give his support for civil rights, and oppose the war. Paul Newman was opposed to the Vietnam War, and in favour of civil rights, he was so proud that he ended up on president Richard Nixon's "enemies list".

Any man that says "Why go out with Hamburger, when you have steak at home.", when asked about his marital success.... hmmm wouldn't it be cool if so many felt that way.

RIP Mr. Newman. To your family and friends, sorry you have lost someone so special.

RE: Long Distance

You have been given lots of advise and opinions. The only ones who will really can make this choice, will be you. I hope you were not given too much to worry and think about.

Life is too short... and not meant to be lived full of what if's. Only you and your young man can decide if it's right or wrong for you both.

You are already asking yourself the right questions. Sit down, get a pen and paper. Put a line down the middle of the paper. Mark one side of the line positive/pro's and on the other side negatives/con's. Make a list. You might find your answer that will help YOU decide.

Even write down everything you are wondering about, whether it's good or bad. You can do it in the style of a journal or diary. It can help you free up some of your fears, but also help you see clearly what choice you might want to make.

Even a perfect relationship has it's rough moments. You have been given negative experiences and positive ones, but just because that is what someone else experienced, it does not always mean it will be that way for you. You can take charge of yourself, and decide what is BEST FOR YOU.

Only word of advise, do what is best for you first in this situation. You can care and love this young man with all your heart, but if you just think about him and give up all of yourself, that is not a positive. Talk with him, let him know how you feel and what your concerns are. If he is the right one, he will be there for you no matter what your decision is. Moving is a big decision and you seem to have thought of all kinds of concerns most people do not before taking on something like this.

Wish you both the best no matter what you choose to do.

RE: what are you thinking about the election.........

Oh we are not long winded like the Americans. Our elections run just a few months....... not for years on end.

American elections =


Canadian elections = we just called an election, hurry up and get to the election booths before they close.... OK we have like, close to 3 months of political mumbo jumbo yakity yak to listen to, and then it's over. We are not as full of hot air as our neighbors.

RE: what are you thinking about the election.........

Did you read your email yet??? I do not remember what I said. Kinda got the flu. Sniffle Sniffle.


It'snot a good idea to talk politics when sick.

RE: Embarrassing..or..exciting.

Probably all of the above for a few minute or 2, but then angry because they did not respect their partner, or myself (especially if I am in a relationship). I would feel uncomfortable, and if they continued, I would feel Icky... or slimy.

RE: What Would Your Epitaph Be If You Died Today?

RE: SO COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting ready to put away the summer clothes. Needed to used some warmer tops last week.

Fall is definitely here. Trees that were green last week have all changed to to the beautiful fall colors. Fall is my fav time of year. Not to hot or cold, and the colors are fantastic.

Next weekend I will be putting away most of my garden. sigh
When I do that, I do get a little down because it means snow is coming. No use in complaining. If being positive, will see what is beautiful in any season.

One good sign about seasons changing, if you are around to experience it, that means you are still on this side of the grass.

Fall also means Thanks Giving. I do not do lots of fussing about Thanks Giving, but around that time of year, I start to reflect on what I'm grateful for. It is also something I do on Christmas and New Yrs Eve. Reflect on family, events that happened in my life, good or bad, and be thankful for the family members that are still in my life and on the ones I've lost in that year and how lucky I was to have had them in my life.

Take care every one. Natta!

RE: Summer Memories

You already know Eyes and looked at my profile.

My aunt came from England for a visit. She is in her 80's and do not know if or when I will see her again. Twins made lots of progress in one yr. More than the Dr's thought. The 2 yr old has made so many hmm not sure what to call them, but he has advanced to a closer level to what a 1.5 yr old should be doing verbally. For him that is a mile stone.

The twins who make shy/strange with everyone, were definitely had no problems with a certain someone today. It was meet my parents for the first time today... my dad loved having another sports nut to talk to. I have a feeling that because the twins allowed this certain someone to pick them up and hold them ... impressed my mother.

I was introduced to his mother a few weeks ago, and she told me she wanted me to come back and visit her anytime.

My kids are doing well, job is going well, so I can not really complain, or can't find something irritating enough to complain.... unless it's about some women shoving her way on to the bus, and the person she shoved had a broken leg and was on crutches. (if I complained about people being like this, every time it happened, I'd never stop complaining.)

Dragon display was pretty cool.

Once while out for supper, this awesome little boy called "James", asked if we were on our honeymoon. For most of out supper this awesome kid was at our table. He was smart, and just an amazing kid. .... as for the response to his honeymoon question.... my friend answered, "Not yet".


So for the most part, my summer was pretty awesome. Fall is my favorite time of year, so I know it will be a great one.

Hope everyone is doing well, and the rest of the year will be great for you all.

RE: SO COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+8 at the moment, supposed to get to +15. Mostly highs between +9 and +14 for the rest of the week, and lots of rain for the most part.

Tomorrow is the last day of Summer. Hope you enjoy it!

RE: What attracts you??

If the photo shows someone with smiling eyes... that will catch my attention... then if you put something in your profile that catches my interest, I might send a Hello.

A certain person ... had a great profile about a rusty knight. It was not on this site, but that profile did show this person would be cool to get to know.


Eyes... added new photo to profile.
