I mail and have been mailed by dozens of people on here. No limit to how many people you chat to, as long as it's normal conversaton. Only reason to get kicked off is when someone is reported for mass mailing, which is different altogether. Even then they check the conversations just so a person with a grudge can't have someone else kicked off here.
You said that his man told you he left, now you are saying he was kicked off. None of this adds up........jmo.
Dee I hate to disappoint you here but nothing about his sounds right to those of us who have been here awhile. I have been on the net chatting for over 10 years now and think I have seen it all but every day there is another kind of scam. Try to think about this in a logical way. You have never seen him live, (on cam), never been to his home, have not met or talked to his family or friends, He has not met or talked to yours. john philip is a common name, most scammers just pick a name from anyone on the net and use it. you have never seen a pic of his id of any kind, He could scan in a drivers licence,, Internet cafes can do all that for him no matter where he lives. He can cam in an internet cafe too. I dont know about the rest of the kind folks on here but when you try to justify him or make excuses it puts the fear of God in me.
When you mail tell him that your friends are wanting to see him and are worried for you and would like to see proof that he is genuine, make it up as you go along, and see what happens.
Construction engineer from michegan rings bells. Does his profile have a pic of a man in a suit? Second pic has him sitting in a car with top down, convertable type? Called larry something or something like that.
I had one im today same kind of profile. Told me that he liked my profile and when he saw my face I was the one for him. Told me that his wife died in a car wreck 5 years ago and he's been alone since and that he had a son he was bringing up by himself.
Asked me for personal info which I didn't give him and then asked for my e mail address. I told him he could email me on here and he said no it would be better on yahoo. He didn't want to lose me now that he had found me. I kept him talking long enough to report him with a copy of he conversation to cs.
I would say be VERY careful. I have been in exacty this situation a couple of times and although it might be ok and might work out for you. It most certainly didn't for me.
I talked to someone on msn for 7 months. We got on well but I decided not to let him know where I lived (to be safe), so took a couple of weeks vacation and went to america to meet him in his own setting. Boy was I in for a shock. He lived in a trailer in a canyon. ( he told me it was a house). Parents were decidedly weird, ( they turned up out of the blue, he had told me they were dead), He said he was a nurse, turned out he was a nursing aide in a prison thrown out for stealing drugs. He hadn't told me he was a druggie either or an alcoholic. He pulled a gun on me when I wouldn't go in his car for a drive when he was off his head on drugs. It would take a long time to tell it all, suffice it to say that I'm glad I went there and not him here, because after I came home he stalked me on the phone for 3 months ringing all hours of the day and night.
Your experience may not be the same as mine but take precautions...
I keep trying to stay in here but i don't know if the thread is too big now or what but it always freezes and I have to try to reopen the whole cs thingy.
Had to do the best I could on my own. It's not easy trying to getit right when you know that what you tell them and model for them is going to affect them maybe forever
No offense intended, but I believe the book was written for women and women NEED explainations to work with. I think he did a good job as far as that went, because every women I talked to that read it loved it, including me.jmo.
Coming back to Ireland with a begrudging attitude about eastern Europeans is not going to help you fit in again when you do get here.
They are only doing in Ireland what the Irish did in England, Scotland and America, as well as probably every other country in the world, make a living to send money home.
I lived in Manchester for 13 years and came home 17 years ago with nothing but a suitcase, a rucksack and 3 little kids to raise with absolutely no support from anyone, not even the government. If I could carve out a place for myself here, I don't see what is stopping you. We can all find excuses for not succeeding and doing what we want, even blame other people, but if we want it badly enough we will work hard enough to find a way.
Eastern Europeans do work here that Irish people these days think they are too good for. How quickly we forget that only 30 years ago we were doing the same and thought ourselves lucky to get a job abroad.
Being suicidal without a specific (or obvious ) reason requires a doctor's help. If I were you I wouldn't go on holiday with her. You would be giving her an opportunity to use you in her future plans to harm herself. Could you live with that? Not going will show her that her rash actions have consequences. Suggest to her that she needs professional help.......
"apostrophe , a rhetorical figure in which the speaker addresses a dead or absent person, or an abstraction or inanimate object. In classical rhetoric, the term could also denote a speaker's turning to address a particular member or section of the audience. Apostrophes are found frequently among the speeches of Shakespeare's characters, as when Elizabeth in Richard III addresses the Tower of London:
Pity, you ancient stones, those tender babes Whom envy hath immured within your walls.
The figure, usually employed for emotional emphasis, can become ridiculous when misapplied, as in Wordsworth's line Spade! with which Wilkinson hath tilled his lands
The apostrophe is one of the conventions appropriate to the ode and to the elegy. The poet's invocation of a muse in epic poetry is a special form of apostrophe."
I love the way the word can be used in terms of talking to a brick wall too.....
What about Uli and Jan and P Seg? Don't forget them.........
We need at least one official photographer, a tour guide and food technician as well as a relief driver and a dishwasher, unless we are having those throw-away plates and living on love.......
I don't know if I have ever had the flu, and I have only had one bad cold that I remember, in 1979. I get sniffles from cold-type viruses once about every 10 years.
If I get sick I hibernate alone. Wouldn't dream of giving it to anyone else.
I met a few people from here but they weren't for me for various reasons. I recently met a wonderful man who seems to be just right....not from CS though.
