My guess: Most of men rarely take pics of themselves, even rarer - themselves alone, not hanging on friends' arms in a pub or posing as a wedding witness.. Catching big fish is one of those rare occasions they do. Plus they look happy and proud on those pics. Plus they want to impress you with the achievement :) And with the suggestion that they practise sport ;)
Memorable times? In March, when a girl (!) I met shortly before that, bought me a tulip on a market just because she liked me. and because she likes surprising people. no, there was nothing lesbian about it. the tulip had to be given from heart because it survived a few hours train trip after that and a few days in a flat where a very naughty cat lives
I also remember getting flowers from my exes which were delivered to my workplaces. On the first time everybody was asking: "what did he do?" , on the second time folks were saying to me: "happy birthday!"
Getting back to the thread topic (before Awesome kills us ) - I think the video you chose for yourself is pretty flattering, you know? If you were anyway close to Evgeni Plushenko - handsome, incredibly fit, hard-working, well-off, family commited man who has enough sense of humour and distance to himself to give such a performance - in your previous life, then gee, I wish I had met you then
next Saturday, you say?... yyyy....eee...hmmmm.... it's my hamster birthday and I must stay for the party! I can't let him down, I'm sure you understand that...
PS: was that remark about the beautiful bay of Bugibba close to your house supposed to convince me? nice try
(sorry) Smoky, it may be a better story than the original you had!
Mano: maybe it won't be so BLACK to you if I tell you that that woman survived the accident. Only seriously damaged her hearing, but recovered from this too
Well, that doctor, me and my friends later found it funny, the amazing bad luck she had. But for sure it's black humour, which that thread is also about, isnt' it?
Hi Flow! I rememeber you and your kindness from my "first episode" on CS, which was when you were still single
One more ridiculously funny and macabre story:
Couple months ago I seriously perforated the tympanic membrane in my ear, by a cosmetic stick... Don't ask me how exactly it happened - it was an example of amazing absent-mindness of me... I was considered to have an operation, so I found myself in a hospital, on a consultation. Breaking shame, I said my story to a doctor. She listened, smiled at me and said something like this:
"Oh, it's nothing. Last week we had a woman here, who liked knitting. And one day she was seating next to an open window and knitting. At some point her ear itched, so she started scratching it by a knitting needle. And then the wind blowed, suddenly opened the window and the window pushed the needle inside of her skull..."
My friend was seating on a toilette, doing his business At some point he spotted a rubber sink plug around. Looking for a bit of entertainment he took the plug and put it on his forehead in this way that the plug sucked the skin in and stayed on his forehead.
Because the plug got out of his view then, he forgot about it for a good few minutes. When he finished what he was doing, he got up and then he saw the in a mirrow that the plug was still on his forehead. He took it off and then he saw... a red mark on his forehead, looking exactly like an enormous lovebite! And he had to leave to school very soon.
He got to a computer and started googling how to remove a lovebite. Found out that... there is no way
So he put a dressing on his forehead and went to shool!
I came to a pub in UK once and said to a barman: "Irish liqueur with Scotch whiskey on ice, please" He glowered at me and said: "Can the ice be English?"
It happened that 3 Jewish guys opened their shops just next to each other, in a row. As it created keen competition, soon the first guy put a sign on his shop:
that's how it seems to work in my life... I don't meet interesting men to flirt with at parties...but e.g.: 1. on the road, when i was hitch-hiking (he gave me a lift) 2. in a restaurant, when i had a dinner with my mum (he was a waiter there) 3. in a waiting room in a clinic 4. in the train 5. in the coach (there is something with the means of transport... )
it's not enough to be INTERESTED, you must seem INTERESTING too... so:
1.change the picture!! it's a must. I'm sure you can take a better image of yourself.ask your friends for advice if you can't choose a good one by yourself. i'm not sure about your mustache - I would advice you to shave it, i hate it, on any man, but maybe it's only my thing... 2. wonder to who you are sending your e-mails. read the profiles and consider if you suit their expectations.if you don't - off course a woman won't write back. remember about age and area issues. 3.try to show a bit of sense of humor.I've noticed that's the most wanted men's advantage among the girls here
i used to be a hoarder, when i lived with my parents, 15 years in the same house, full of stuff... then i moved out, i started my independent, full of changes, travels and moves...and i discovered how much easier it is to have less so now i try to stick to minimum, even with clothes and shoes, what's not easy for a women...
there is so much trouble with possession... you have to spend money on buying, spend time on cleaning, segregating, tidying up, you don't have space in you house...not to mention a trouble with a move...
I know a family which owns a big apartment in the center of Cracow. some businessman needs that flat a lot and offers them a huge amount of money for it plus another (smaller but comfy) flat for them to move. and they keep refusing. not because they really need this apartment, they don't. the problem is with their stuff- they feel they are not able to move it and put into the other, smaller flat. they say that maybe they would move if he provided them an additional flat for their stuff... in this way they loose a great opportunity to get reacher and live more comfortably - just because of their unneeded things... and that's only one of scary stories about hoarders i know...
