Queen Elizabeth Through The Years

Beautiful pictures showing her story from the beginning.

RE: the Queen is dead

So am I

RE: Ladies

If I was out with a guy and he insisted on anything I wouldn't be there long enough to take another sip.

RE: Queen Elizabeth health deteriorates.

I think you made a good point Tiger that she saw her 70th Jubilee, as well as I did, and now she has the mindset to let go. She knows there will be bickering in the family as there is in all families especially when someone dies. There are posts on here of people who don't like the Queen. No different than posts who don't like Biden and Trump. Rarely does anyone like people in leadership. There will be a headline that she passed and tears will come, the flag will be lowered, flowers will be accumulated and people will shake hands and hold hugs but all that matters is that this great lady gets respect.

RE: Queen Elizabeth health deteriorates.

I was 10 years old and watched her crowning on a black and white tv. I was a little girl and it was a whole different world for me to actually see a queen and her crown. I don't keep track of what goes on in the monarchy but I do like to see Queen Elizabeth when she is at an event.

RE: Do you have breakfast?

My breakfast isn't always "breakfast food". Sometimes I'll have anything left over from last night's dinner such as cold salmon, sometimes I'll make a sandwich, sometimes I'll have scrambled eggs. It varies.

RE: Ali

Wonderful that you are alive and still kickin.

RE: Ali

Definitely prayers for Ali, his family and loved ones.

RE: Ali

Is he sick? Farm problems?

If this is what the crust looks like I'm all for it. It could be used for chicken salad, scrambled eggs, etc.

RE: Heaven Sent

I think the difference of your father and my husband is why we aren't in agreement that my husband would qualify to come back.

My husband didn't like drinking. It was an addiction that he beat several times but it always drew him back into the bottle. He wasn't a menace to me in the form of domestic violence but there were times that he did things that were out of character. I was sad that he wasn't the nice guy that I knew he could be therefore I wasn't happy.

I'm going to go a step further and let you know how I treated my husband after our divorce.

I didn't love my husband after the divorce but I did respect him. He was the father of our child so I kept him in her life as much as possible, more than court ordered visitation.

There were times he would call me and within seconds I knew he was drunk in a bar. Do you think I yelled at him. No I didn't. I got in my car and went to the bar. I didn't drag him out of the bar or embarrass him. I handled him gently because with the state he was in he needed a friend. I was a better friend than a wife. I nursed his wounds when he hit his head, I surprised him with a sweater I knitted for him for a Christmas present, blah blah blah. The point I'm trying to make is that he wasn't my enemy. He was my ex husband who happened to be the father of our child. I did everything I could to make sure she knew her father loved her even though we didn't live together.

I don't want him to come back for myself. I want him to come back to be with his daughter, to enjoy her company, her dogs and her husband.

He STILL qualifies Didi.

RE: Heaven Sent

You are barking up the wrong tree Didi to say that my husband would be a "menace to self, nor to society"

I'm not going to get into this with you because I'm thinking you don't understand alcoholism. Alcoholics aren't always beating up women or causing a disturbance to the public. Get away from the movies and go to an AA meeting to meet these people who want nothing more than to stop drinking.

My husband qualifies!!!!!!!!!

RE: If you only had 1 week to live, would you....?

About me?

You want me to do something for myself. I would be very happy first of all if I had a dog even if it was just for one week, but I would also be happy if I made someone else's life good. THAT is doing something for me indirectly but it's mainly about the dog. This dog is just a pup and has a long life ahead of him

If a doctor told me I have one week to live my first thought would not be what can I buy, what can I eat, where can I go, yada yada yada. My life is not all about me. I have been a generous person all my life in various ways. If I was told I have one week to live my first thought would be to spend the week with my daughter because she is always first in my life. But I could still get a senior dog who is as old as I am.

RE: Heaven Sent

It might be greedy of me to want my husband back since he suffered and died of alcoholism at the age of 45. When he wasn't drunk he was a good man. Our daughter was 10 years old when he died. She has many accomplishments in her life so I would want him to see the woman she has become. Even if heaven sent him back drunk I know he would be very proud of his daughter. When he goes back to heaven his heart will be full of love and this time he could die in peace.

RE: If you only had 1 week to live, would you....?

Perhaps you're missing the point Didi. Rescuing the dog isn't about me. Being a senior dog they are often put down just because they are old. When I take the dog into my home he will have another week to live a good life to frolic in the park, sit on the couch with me and even sleep on my bed while I sleep. Then when I die my daughter, who has always had a couple dogs in her home, will gladly take the dog into her home for another chance at life. He will eventually die but when he does it won't be because a vet stuck a needle into his leg to never wake up again. He will die knowing he was loved very much.

RE: If you only had 1 week to live, would you....?

I would rescue a senior dog from the shelter. I know that my daughter would take him into her home when I die so he would be well taken of.

RE: Do you care if people like you or not on CS....?

Your post resonates with me Grand.

When I joined CS in 2006 people hated me for about three months. My name was Snuggles and it was really a representation of who I was. A member named Vinny defended me against the haters and eventually they learned that I wasn't a troll or an instigator for a fight. I wrote a lot of threads and responded to just as many from others and felt respected. All that changed when Facebook was born. Many CS members left and went to FB. And it got worse when Obama was running for president. There was so much hate on here that the moderators were constantly scolding people who didn't behave. Fights broke out everyday.

The air wasn't so pleasant around here not only for me but it seemed everyone.

You asked "what divides us". Difference of opinion is what divides us. People don't want to debate. They want to give their opinion and insist that they are right. When that happens a thread gets out of hand, someone goes to jail, the thread might be pulled and that's the end of what might have been a good conversation.

Trump used to be the cause of fights but in my opinion I don't think he matters anymore. And that leads me to ask......

What does matter to the CS members ?

RE: Hot Rods and Motorcycles

This picture came from an article about what life was like in the 50's.

I'm thinking that the gentleman and maybe ladies on CS might relate to this motorcycle.

RE: worst incident in your life

Worst thing that happened to me is when my husband died at the age of 45.

RE: Solve the mystery, win a prize.;-)

The shape of her lipstick was still on the cup.

RE: Do u still have crush in CS??

I talk to her everyday. She does have a great sense of humor which has pulled me out of a slump when I needed it. Debbie is the true description of a good friend through thick and thin.

RE: Do u still have crush in CS??

That's my beautiful Debbie

RE: How would you break up with someone?

I agree Didi that there are some who still want to be in control when the relationship ends. I met someone on CS and I knew in the first three days that he wasn't "the one" but in fairness to him I gave it a chance and stuck it out with email and phone calls. I met up with him again a month after the initial meeting and there was no doubt that we weren't right for each other. He said things that he thought I wanted to hear to make me stay but I was way ahead of him and at the end of that meeting I told him in my own way that I wouldn't see him again. He was surprised and then I saw a different side to him.......a side that he could be violent and very nasty. That was nine years ago. The interesting thing is that when I met him the second time in his home town I also met his mother who was a wonderful person. I took to her immediately. After we broke up once in awhile I would call him to see how his mother was. The last time I called he was annoying and I decided that I shouldn't call call again and I didn't.

RE: How would you break up with someone?

I don't live my life in lies therefore anytime that I broke up with someone it was always face to face and it was always calmly and without name calling. If they asked why I told them that we aren't right for each other. If they insisted on more of an explanation then I told them an answer to why I was leaving. When you are honest with someone why you are leaving them they know what you are saying does relate to them.
