This is the million dollar question. I've had this problem for years. Doctors don't seem to think it's a big problem. That's when I want to wring their necks. What would a doctor do if had to operate in the morning and couldn't sleep all night?
Eating those NJ tomato sandwiches in the summer on the front steps, playing hide and seek, singing acapella with the gang, walking downtown, riding our bicycles, it goes on and on. Where did those days go?
I love cologne on a man and when I was working up north I used cologne or perfume every day. Not overpowering scents either. Well God forbid if you use it down here in the south. If the bugs don't get you, then it's people with a loud voice saying "who has perfume on? I can't sit in this seat" will embarrass you every time. Most physicians offices have signs saying not to use perfume because people are allergic. When I'm home alone I relish putting on one of my scents.
I've read that some fraudulent callers can be downright rude or threatening. One even said they could never find him because he was calling from a prison. You'd think in this day and age something could be done. We've gone to the moon but can't fix the common telephone. Maybe it is too big a business like the tobacco industry. Where else can you market a product that is bad for your health. I guess getting into someone's home has become worth its weight in gold.
Considering how these fraudsters can spoof a telephone number, they have an endless supply of numbers that can't be traced back to them. Blocking doesn't do any good because they just get another number OR use words to show up on caller id.
He made us able to think and do for ourselves. Even after our fall from grace we were still more pure than we are now. All the problems we have now can be traced back to something we did or didn't do. Why should HE keep stepping in to save us from ourselves? We can ask for his forgiveness and it will be granted but that forgiveness does not erase what has been done and the consequences that we must live with.
Usually when I don't respond it's because I have a suspicion that the person is bogus. The words they use (when they have Masters Degree). They give a site for you to contact them at and/or a phone number. Maybe sometimes I make a mistake but I do try.
Why so quick to jump to the phone? You typed to get here, why not type a bit more to get to know someone. It wouldn't be forever and you could see if there's any interest. THEN go for the next step, the phone.
I'd tell my teenage self to dump that guy I was so smitten with. Nobody else gave me any advice. To the old boy friend that watched me drive off with him . . . . I'm so sorry.
